Comité de libération du cinéma français

Comité de libération du cinéma français was an organization of filmmakers in France created in 1943.

The most well-known members are Jacques Becker, Pierre Blanchar, Louis Daquin, Jean Painlevé, and Jean-Paul Le Chanois.

Members of this organization made projects for French cinema for after the War.

The group also created its own underground film journal called L’Ecran français in 1943.

After the war, the publication became a place where film critics could debate each other, such as the iconic argument over Citizen Kane between Andre Bazin and Jean-Paul Sartre.
