Document Summary
Focus on vision, media as central themes of you movie. Movies that have a little bit of anything. 1910s - the 1920s - the historical avande garde. How it feels to be run over (1900) Doing different things with the new media. No plot and it acknowledge the audience. No characters or narrative, get us a shock. Experimentalism in different art forms (movies, audio, paint, ect) More about the individual, who has been cut out by nature. It is a reaction to representational painting (depicting the work as we see it, with no distortion) Impressionism (seeing the world in a different way, based on impressions, distortion presentation in the world) Art does not need to be beautiful, or to teach us something, make us wonder. Putting things that don"t usually work together. Abstraction: formal experiments that is also non-representational. Films that lack well defined characters or plots. Repetition (repeating something over and over again)
