ENGL-267-01 Avant-Garde Film
Spring only
From its inception, film has attracted generations of artists who viewed this technology as a medium of personal and political expression. Often working within frameworks that explicitly rejected character-driven storytelling and the industrial modes of production that made narrative film so dominant, avant-garde filmmakers produced works that provide multiple answers to the question "what is cinema?" This course examines experimental filmmaking from international and historical perspectives tracing links between avant-garde film and simultaneous movements in the other arts (constructivism, expressionism, dada, surrealism, pop art, the situationists, and postmodernism). While this course assumes no previous experience in film studies, students must be prepared to welcome challenges to their conventional experience of narrative filmmaking. Attendance at weekly evening screenings is mandatory. This course has an attendance policy.
