It covers the developments of experimental film-making since the modernist explosion in the 1920s in Europe through to the Soviet film experiments, the American Underground cinema and the French New Wave, structuralism and contemporary gallery work of the Young British Artists. Through in-depth case-studies, the book introduces students not only to the history of the avant-garde but also to varied analytical approaches to the films themselves ranging from abstraction (Richter, Ruttman) to surreal visions (Bunuel, Wyn Evans), underground subversion (Jack Smith, Warhol) to experimental narrative (Deren and Antonioni)."--BOOK JACKET Experimental films 6850 Short cuts (London, England) 12810 BK 278 278 0 0 0 0 ma CY-PaNEU CY-PaNEU 2010-08-17 1 PN1995.9.E96 O67 2003 3007928 2020-06-28 00:00:00 1 2020-06-28 BK
