Avant-Garde's Visual Arts Roots
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper discussing avant-garde film's grounding in the visual arts rather than in the traditions of narrative cinema. Without question, the process of filmmaking remains the same between the two categories, but each has very different points of focus from which they originate. Casual movie-goers expect to be told a story when they set out to view a film made from the narrative perspective, but the aficionados of avant-garde understand that, while a story may be integrated in the work they are about to view, the primary point of focus is that of visual art analogous to that which can be found in any art gallery featuring work in serial progression. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
