Abstract

The “Nouvelle Vague” is one of the main stages in the history of cinema. Despite this importance, there are unknown aspects to make known, a situation that affects most of the short films made by the great masters of the film movement. For this reason, we take advantage of the 60th anniversary of its existence to define its stylistic limits conveniently. An approach that will focus much of your attention on the magazine “Cahiers du Cinéma”, the starting point for most of the creations in short format. This will lead us to carry out a precise chronology that will reveal important conclusions about the scope of the «French New Wave».
