Synopsis:

A Game of Chess with Marcel Duchamp (2001)
A driving force behind many modern movements - Dada, Surrealism, Futurism, and Kinetic/Conceptual Art--Marcel Duchamp did more than any other artist in this century to change the concept of art. The enigmatic French artist and theorist candidly discusses his life, his ideas on art, his obsession with chess, and why he chose to live in America after fleeing France in 1915.
Marcel Duchamp in 26 minutes (2001)
The film attempts to put the fate of Duchamp in perspective, including places that have marked his life: his youth in Normandy, his life in the US among others. The documentary highlights his revolutionary spirit and his radical approach, which opened a new path that many artists continue to borrow today.

These films focus on Marcel Duchamp's artistic destiny and life. The two documentaries emphasize Marcel Duchamp's revolutionary spirit and radical approach to artistic creation.
