Description
The Avant-Garde Feature Film: A Critical History explores unconventional and aesthetically challenging films of feature length. This in-depth analysis focuses on contemporary avant-garde cinema, often drawing inspiration from historical films of the same genre.
The book examines the work of visionary filmmakers such as David Lynch, Luis Bunuel, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin and Derek Jarman, among others. Two appendices provide a comprehensive filmography of key avant-garde feature films, from Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1922) to Maximum Shame (2010), as well as a list of directors who have made significant contributions to alternative cinematic practices.
