I would just like to point out that Bazin did not make a single 
movie! He was 'only' a theorist.

Is knowing film theory necessary for film-making?  Not
necessarily.  However, knowledge of film history is necessary.  Then
again, many great filmmakers have also theorized:  Bazin, Eisenstein, the
folks of Cashiers, and even lesser known filmmakers of today.
