Abstract
This article concerns about the short film <Wonderful Nigh, Merry Christams !> (2004, 16'47) realized by Ieggi. It studies the later in relation with the underground film which comes into the world in earnest in sixty, or the personal films produced in America. The term ‘personal film' is used in two sens in its context: same as underground, film which tells personal life. This later in sixty took as base of its mind the early avant-garde movement. As anti-culture or counter-culture these avant-garde and underground movement raze in profound relation with the modernism. How the problem of the subject or individual in modernism has something with these new movements of art? Suzan Sontag says, in every time, it has to newly create the aim of spirituality suited for the time. In modernism, the desire of ‘new man' produced in cultural movement the desire of ‘new art'. What this later advocate against the established culture is ‘aesthetic of silence'. This study, as its first step, is given to the problem of subject and silence implicated in the underground film and finally in <Wonderful Night, Merry Christmas!>.
