Description
Cinema by Other Means explores an extraordinary history of experimental filmmaking from the 1910s to the present. This study examines various avant-garde endeavors that deviated from traditional film techniques, using alternative materials and methods. The book delves into examples from both historical and post-war avant-garde movements, including Dada, Surrealism, Letterism, and structural-materialist film. It presents a range of imaginative approaches to filmmaking, performed by artists, writers, and filmmakers across Europe, with a focus on the Yugoslav avant-garde. This book offers an in-depth exploration of distinctly Yugoslav artistic phenomena, such as Zenithist cine-writings and proto-structural Antifilm movement.
