Description

Discover the rich history of handmade cinema, a tradition that pushed the boundaries of film-making in the 20th century. This book explores how experimental filmmakers used unconventional techniques to create unique and innovative works.

The author uncovers the range of forms, tools, and intentions that make up cinema's shadow history, from painted film to kinetic art, and from psychedelic light shows to video synthesis. With a comprehensive approach, Zinman recovers the stories behind these lesser-known practices, shedding new light on the intersection of art and media in the 20th century.

With its rich illustrations and in-depth analysis, this book provides a fresh perspective on the history of cinema, anticipating what is to come in the world of moving images. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in film, art, and the evolution of creative expression.
