Of all the areas settled by Spain in North, Central and South America, California has undergone the greatest transformation.

Schatz Zen and the Art of Minimalist Maintenance: Eastern Philosophy in the Cinematic Method of Robert Bresson by James Michael Churchill Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2020 Abstract Zen and the Art of Minimalist Maintenance: Eastern Philosophy in the Cinematic Method of Robert Bresson James Michael Churchill, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2020 Supervisor: Charles Ramirez-Berg This study examines the presence of Zen Buddhism in Robert Bresson’s unique method of film construction. I argue that Bresson’s minimalist choices regarding film form and his emphasis on sensory experience at the expense of intellectual analysis overlap significantly with Zen. In addition, I explore Bresson’s unique theory of film acting and discuss the parallels between his idea of the actor-as-model and the process of transcending the self through Zen meditation. The aim of this thesis is to open the door to a new approach to film studies: a method that highlights direct experience and the achievement of a meditative state as opposed to the Western tradition of critical thinking and conceptual analysis. iv Table of Contents List of Figures ..................................................................................................................
