Summary:
"This volume asks what experimental cinema was, is, and might become, and in doing so it addresses itself to the communities of art and cinema whose disagreements and exchanges have embedded experimental film within a rich discursive field, one that has managed to encompass both academics and practitioners. As A Companion to Experimental Cinema provides detailed accounts of macro- and micro-histories and of particular films and filmmakers, it also charts new directions in the ongoing process of understanding, characterizing, contesting, and shaping experimental cinema"-- Provided by publisher.
