A History of Experimental Film and Video [Library Binding]
Avant-garde film is almost indefinable. It is in a constant state of
change and redefinition. In this book A.L. Rees tracks the movement of
the film avant-garde between, on the one hand, the cinema, and, on the
other hand, modern art (with its post-modern coda). But he also
reconstitutes the film avant-garde as an independent form of art
practice with its own internal logic and aesthetic discourse.
This is the first major history of avant-garde film and video to be published in more than twenty years. Ranging from Cezanne and dada, via Cocteau, Brakhage and Le Grice, to the new wave of British video artists in the 90s, this remarkable study will introduce a generation of new readers to avant-garde film as well as provoking students and specialists to further reflection and debate.
