AVANTE GARDE CINEMA



  • In opposition to mainstream cinema
  • Non linear / Non figurative / Non narrative
  • Open rather than closed
  • Requires a different kind of spectatorship
  • Difficult to define

His movies played at the Bauhaus a very radical and artist movement.

Handmade, romantic, most important film maker in 20th century.

'Moth light' (1964) dir. Stan Bralhage
Simular to black ice
