This compelling study corrects such omissions by detailing the theory and practice of alternative adaptation practices from major avant-garde directors. Avant-Garde films are often relegated to the margins because they challenge our traditional notions of what film form and style can accomplish. Directors who choose to adapt previous material run the risk of severe critical dismay; making films that are highly subjective interpretations or representations of existing texts takes courage and foresight. An avant-garde adaptation provokes spectators by making them re-think what they know about film itself, just as much as the previous source material.Adaptation and the Avant-Garde examines films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin, Jan Svankmajer and many others, offering illuminating insights and making us reconsider the nature of adaptation, appropriation, borrowing, and the re-imagining of previous sources. -- extract taken from the back of the book. --Notes: Formerly CIP. --

For the past fifty years, the love/hate affair between the two has triggered vital aesthetic, social and political responses that constantly renew the way we understand our age. This book traces the story from early spatial experiments with film and video technologies to the current widespread use of projected images in museums and galleries. Why has there been a turn to the cinematic in contemporary art? What happens to the moving image when it shifts from the black box to the white cube, when cinema is exhibited? How does this challenge the traditional mediums of film, painting and sculpture? 'Art and the Moving Image' gathers together key texts including new, translated and previously unavailable essays by eminent writers and theorists including Giorgio Agamben, Beatriz Colomina, Serge Daney, Rosalind Krauss, Maurizio Lazzaratto and Peter Wollen. It offers an essential introduction to the complex field of art and the projected image for both students and general readers." -- Publisher's website.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781854376251Donation: Adrian MilesContents: Preface / Charles Esche -- Introduction / Tanya Leighton -- Colour plates -- Part I.

The artist between images and across media : James Clayden in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.2 p.179-189
Author: Martin, Adrian PhysDes: ArticleSubject: DIGITAL CINEMA ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; CLAYDEN, JAMES Summary: There has been no shortage of proposals in recent years about what might constitute the ‘digital aesthetics’ of the audio-visual media. Most often these proposals of new aesthetic models are conceived in terms of a sharp break with conventional narrative form — where convention is yoked to Hollywood on the one hand, and a certain tradition of European art cinema on the other. However, a largely unexplored connection is the very fertile link between digital work and the traditions of experimental cinema. The prolific film-maker-painter — dramaturg, James Clayden, active since the early 1970s, is an especially important figure in the crossover from film to digital in Australia. With small amounts of government subsidy and finance raised from other sources, he has made several experimental features and a myriad of shorts in recent years. These have received more attention and acclaim at overseas film festivals than in Australia, where the experimental exhibition scene has largely atrophied. Intriguingly, Clayden has gone back to celluloid works (on Super 8 or 16mm) and re-fashioned them in a radical way for several digital projects; he has also been preparing a more conventional narrative art-cinema project. This article will use these rich intersections of forms, gauges and modes in Clayden's recent career as a way of approaching a new theorization of digital aesthetics in Australian cinema. -- AbstractNotes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand

A critical cinema 4 : Interviews with independent filmmakers / MacDonld, Scott Berkeley and Los Angeles, California: University of California Press, 2005.
Call No: 802.25 MACAuthor: MacDonald, Scott Edition: 2005Place: Berkeley and Los Angeles, CaliforniaPublisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2005PhysDes: 410 p. ; 23 cmSeries: A critical cinemaSubject: STAN BRAKHAGE ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; MOTION PICTURE PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF AMERICA ; INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS Summary: A Critical Cinema 4 is the fourth volume in Scott MacDonald's Critical Cinema series, the most extensive, in-depth exploration of independent cinema available in English. In this new set of interviews, MacDonald once again engages filmmakers in detailed discussions of their films and of the personal experiences and political and theoretical currents that have shaped their work. The interviews are arranged to express the remarkable diversity of modern independent cinema and the network of interconnections within the community of filmmakers.
A Critical Cinema 4 includes the most extensive interview with the late Stan Brakhage yet published; a conversation with P. Adams Sitney about his arrival on the New York independent film scene; a detailed discussion with Peter Kubelka about the experience of making Our African Journey; a conversation with Jill Godmilow and Harun Farocki on modern political documentary; Jim McBride's first extended published conversation in thirty years; a discussion with Abigail Child about her evolution from television documentarian to master editor; and the first extended interview with Chuck Workman. This volume also contains discussions with Chantal Akerman about her place trilogy; Lawrence Brose on his examination of Oscar Wilde's career; Hungarian Peter Forgács about his transformation of European home movies into video operas; Iranian-born Shirin Neshat on working between two cultures; and Ellen Spiro about exploring America with her video camera and her dog. Each interview is supplemented by an introductory overview of the filmmaker's contributions. A detailed filmography and a selected bibliography complete the volume. -- publisher's blurbISBN: 9780520242715Contents: Introduction

In this volume, authors specializing in various national cinemas (Cuban, French, German, Israeli, Italian, Lebanese, Polish, Russian, American) and critical approaches (historical, aesthetic, postcolonial, feminist, philosophical) explore the essay film and its consequences for the theory of cinema while building on and challenging existing theories. Taking as a guiding principle the essay form's dialogic, fluid nature, the volume examines the potential of the essayistic to question, investigate, and reflect on all forms of cinema—fiction film, popular cinema, and documentary, video installation, and digital essay.
A wide range of filmmakers are covered, from Dziga Vertov (Man with a Movie Camera, 1928), Chris Marker (Description of a Struggle, 1960), Nicolás Guillén Landrián (Coffea Arábiga, 1968), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Notes for an African Oresteia, 1969), Chantal Akerman (News from Home, 1976) and Jean-Luc Godard (Notre musique, 2004) to Nanni Moretti (Palombella Rossa, 1989), Mohammed Soueid (Civil War, 2002), Claire Denis (L'Intrus, 2004) and Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life, 2011), among others. The volume argues that the essayistic in film—as process, as experience, as experiment—opens the road to key issues faced by the individual in relation to the collective, but can also lead to its own subversion, as a form of dialectical thought that gravitates towards crisis. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231176958Contents: Acknowledgments -- Notes on Contributors -- Introduction: Dialogue, Politics, Utopia, by Elizabeth A.

The Film is no exception, yet although it must be considered one of the most popular forms of entertainment, very little is known by the general public about its experimental side.

With Flesh & Excess: On Underground Film, the focus is now divided between the historical, theoretical and philosophical. Starting with an exploration of the return to the shock of the body in underground film in the 1980s and the growth of underground film in the '90s, he explores and defines an underground cinema that remains radical and contemporary, informing subcultures and independent cinema today. Primarily focusing on a handful of key works by two award-winning underground filmmakers (Usama Alshaibi and Aryan Kaganof), Sargeant examines the the desire - even the need - for a shocking bodily representations and interventions. Punctuating his writing with philosophical analysis, explorations of areas as diverse as industrial culture, surrealism, butoh dance, fine art and medical fetishism, the book challenges the reader to examine the very nature of pleasure, of viewing and of experiencing cinema. Comprehensively illustrated throughout. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781878923288ID2: 285

Hamilton Babylon : a history of the McMaster Film Board / Stephen Broomer Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2016.

McMaster’s student film society quickly became the site of art filmmaking and an incubator for some of the country’s most famous commercial talent – as the well as the birthplace of the first Canadian film to lead to obscenity charges, Hofsess’s Columbus of Sex.
In Hamilton Babylon, Stephen Broomer traces the history of the MFB from its birth as an organization for producing and exhibiting avant-garde films, through its transformation into a commercial-industrial enterprise, and into its final decline as a show business management style suppressed many of its voices. The first book to highlight the work of Hofsess, an innovative filmmaker whose critical role in the MFB has been almost entirely eclipsed by Reitman’s legend, Hamilton Babylon is a fascinating study of the tension between art and business in the growth of the Canadian film industry.ISBN: 9781442647787Donation: donated by Senses of CinemaContents: Chapter One: A Dangerous Precedent

It acts as a form of reclamation by integrating films having received inadequate historical and critical recognition and placing these alongside films existing as accepted texts of the decade. This history challenges the problematic 'return to image' thesis, providing examples of written evidence and demonstrating how this has problematically perpetuated a flawed account of the decade. This is the first extensive overview of 1970s filmmaking, contextualizing films within broader aesthetic, theoretical and socio-political frameworks. The detailed textual and comparative analyses offer unique approaches to individual films, shedding light on technical, aesthetic and economic decisions informing filmmaking. As such, it provides a unique understanding of how experimental filmmaking grew from a small handful of films and filmmakers, at the start of the 1970s, to a veritable 'explosion' in filmmaking by the end of the decade"-- TROVENotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781349474912Language: EnglishContents: Introduction -- 1.

A history of experimental film and video : from the canonical avant-garde to contemporary British practice / A.L. Rees London: bfi Publishing, 2011.
Call No: 771 REEAuthor: Rees, A. L. Edition: 2nd EditionSource: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: bfi PublishingPubDate: 2011PhysDes: viii, 196 : ill. ; 25 cm.Subject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; VIDEO ART ; ART CINEMA ; AVANT-GARDE FILMS Summary: Avant-garde film is almost indefinable. It is in a constant state of change and redefinition. In his highly-acclaimed history of experimental film, A.L. Rees tracks the movement of the film avant-garde between the cinema and modern art (with its postmodern coda). But he also reconstitutes the film avant-garde as an independent form of art practice with its own internal logic and aesthetic discourse.
In this revised and updated edition, Rees introduces experimental film and video to new readers interested in the wider cinema, as well as offering a guide to enthusiasts of avant-garde film and new media arts. Ranging from Cézanne and Dada, via Cocteau, Brakhage and Le Grice, to the new wave of British film and video artists from the 1990s to the present day, this expansive study situates avant-garde film between the cinema and the gallery, with many links to sonic as well as visual arts.
The new edition includes a review of current scholarship in avant-garde film history and includes updated reading and viewing lists. It also features a new introduction and concluding chapter, which assess the rise of video projection in the gallery since the millennium, and describe new work by the latest generation of experimental film-makers. The new edition is richly illustrated with images of the art works discussedNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781844576203Contents: Pt. 1. The canonical avant-garde.

Instead of surveying the development of Canadian film over the last four decades, I have chosen to concentrate on certain key moments in the history of Canadian films, moments in our national filmmaking that most clearly manifest the indigenous style and concerns of our cinema and that disclose certain deeply felt problems that pertain both to our collective psychology and social dynamics and to fundamental issues of artistic representation and expression. What seems to be needed at this stage in our cinematic history is a careful, reasoned assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of our cinematic tradition which establishes the place of the Canadian cinema within Canadian artistic practice." -- PREFACENotes: Includes index; "Filmographies": p. 444-449; Includes bibliographical references (p. 451-465) and indexISBN: 0889209561Contents: -- foreword -- preface -- acknowledgements -- introduction -- part one -- introduction -- chapter 1-- a house divided -- chapter 2 -- two schools of thought -- chapter 3 -- an aesthetics of reconciliation -- part two -- introduction -- chapter 4 -- the documentary film in Canada --chapter 5 -- narrative transmission in American direct Canada films and Canadian candid-eye films -- chapter 6 -- the reality principle: "Goin' down the road" -- chapter 7 -- modes of representation in cinema -- part three - introduction -- chapter 8 -- Michael Snow's 'Wavelength' -- chapter 9 -- from painting into cinema: a study of Jack Chamber's ;circle' -- chapter 10 -- all things in their time: on Michael's snow -- chapter 11 -- the photographic image in Canadian avant-garde film -- chapter 12 -- Michael Snow presents 'presents' -- chapter 13 -- idealism, photography and the Canadian avant-garde film -- chapter 14 -- forms of cinema: models of self -- notes -- appendix: filmography -- bibliography -- index --

AUSTRALIA ; AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR THE MOVING IMAGE (ACMI) ; AESTHETICS ; TECHNOLOGY AND THE CINEMA.

Its chronology is narrow and deals with works produced from the early 1990s to the present. Media arts have come to be regarded as the signature form of this period, the art of its time. But the discussion of media art is not exclusively an issue to do with emerging technologies and how artists use them. It also concerns the ways in which artists explore the social and cultural implications of the very technologies they are working with. The intervention of the computer has given rise to complex new forms of knowledge, disturbing new ways of thinking abut what it means to be alive in the age of advanced technology.

They have also been among the most potent sources of creative inspiration for experimental filmmakers. Lessons in Perception melds film theory and cognitive science in a stimulating investigation of the work of iconic experimental artists such as Stan Brakhage, Robert Breer, Maya Deren, and Jordan Belson. In illustrating how avant-garde filmmakers draw from their own mental and perceptual capacities, author Paul Taberham offers a compelling for how their works expand the range of aesthetic sensitivity and open creative vistas uncharted by commercial cinema. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781785336416Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- PART I: COGNITION --Chapter 1.

Six aesthetic categories are distinguished: film as backdrop to live music; live music as backdrop to film; pre-recorded music as a ‘bed’ for images; images as a bed for pre-recorded music; disjunction between image and sound; image–sound fusion. The debate over the effects of musical rhythm in cinema is discussed.--ABSTRACT

The men with the movie camera : the poetics of visual style in soviet avant-garde cinema of the 1920s / Philip Cavendish New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books,
Call No: 802.3(47) CAVAuthor: Cavendish, Philip Edition: 2013Place: New York and OxfordPublisher: Berghahn BooksPhysDes: xii, 342 pages : illustrated ; 23 cmSubject: USSR ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; CINEMATOGRAPHY ; TISSE, EDUARD ; GOLOVNA, ANATOLIJ Summary: Unlike previous studies of the Soviet avant-garde during the silent era, which have regarded the works of the period as manifestations of directorial vision, this study emphasizes the collaborative principle at the heart of avant-garde filmmaking units and draws attention to the crucial role of camera operators in creating the visual style of the films, especially on the poetics of composition and lighting. In the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s, owing to the fetishization of the camera as an embodiment of modern technology, the cameraman was an iconic figure whose creative contribution was encouraged and respected. Drawing upon the film literature of the period, Philip Cavendish describes the culture of the camera operator, charts developments in the art of camera operation, and studies the mechanics of key director-cameraman partnerships. He offers detailed analysis of Soviet avant-garde films and draws comparisons between the visual aesthetics of these works and the modernist experiments taking place in the other spheres of the visual arts. -- publisher's web siteContents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Note on Transliteration and Conventions -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- Chapter 1.

The music and sound of experimental film / edited by Holly Rogers and Jeremy Barham New York: Oxford Univesity Press,
Call No: 771 MUSAuthor: Rogers, Holly ; Barham, Jeremy Edition: 2017Place: New YorkPublisher: Oxford Univesity PressPhysDes: xvi, 320 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; COLOUR BOX, A (UK, Len Lye, 1935) ; AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; LYE, LEN ; MCLAREN, NORMAN ; BRAKHAGE, STAN ; AKERMAN, CHANTAL ; SMITH, JOHN ; COMPILATION FILMS ; CHIEN ANDALOU, UN (FR, Luis Bunuel, 1928) Summary: This book explores music/sound-image relationships in non-mainstream screen repertoire from the earliest examples of experimental audiovisuality to the most recent forms of expanded and digital technology. It challenges presumptions of visual primacy in experimental cinema and rethinks screen music discourse in light of the aesthetics of non-commercial imperatives. Several themes run through the book, connecting with and significantly enlarging upon current critical discourse surrounding realism and audibility in the fiction film, the role of music in mainstream cinema, and the audiovisual strategies of experimental film. The contributors investigate repertoires and artists from Europe and the USA through the critical lenses of synchronicity and animated sound, interrelations of experimentation in image and sound, audiovisual synchresis and dissonance, experimental soundscape traditions, found-footage film, re-mediation of pre-existent music and sound, popular and queer sound cultures, and a diversity of radical technological, aesthetic, tropes in film media traversing the work of early pioneers such as Walther Ruttmann and Len Lye, through the mid-century innovations of Norman McLaren, Stan Brakhage, Lis Rhodes, Kenneth Anger, Andy Warhol, and studio collectives in Poland, to latter-day experimentalists John Smith and Bill Morrison, as well as the contemporary practices of Vjing. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780190469900Contents: Preface - Jeremy Barham -- Introduction - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 1: Absolute Sounding Images: Abstract Film and Radio Drama of the 1920s as Complementary Forms of a Media Specific Art - Dieter Daniels -- Chapter 2: A Primitivism of the Senses: The Role of Music in Len Lye's Experimental Animation, -- Malcolm Cook -- Chapter 3: An Educational Avant-Garde: Sound and Music in Julien Bryan's OIAA Films on Latin America, 1942-1949 - James Tobias -- Chapter 4: bup bup bup: Aural Innovation in the Films of Norman McLaren - Terence Dobson -- Chapter 5: Sights and Sounds of the Moving Mind: The Visionary Soundtracks of Stan Brakhage - Eric Smigel -- Chapter 6: Discontinuities and Resynchronisations: The Use of Sound in Polish Experimental Cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s - Daniel Muzyczuk -- Chapter 7: Grid Intensities: Hearing Structures in Chantal Akerman's Films of the 1970s - Paul Hegarty -- Chapter 8: Meaning and Musicality: Sound-Image Relations in the Films of John Smith - Andy Birtwistle -- Chapter 9: Audiovisual Dissonance in Found-Footage Film - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 10: Rebalancing the Picture/Sound Relationship: The Audiovisual Compositions of Lis Rhodes - Aimee Mollaghan -- Chapter 11: Sounding Decay in the Digital Age: Audio-Visions of Decasia (2002) and Lyrical Nitrate (1991) - Nessa Johnston -- Chapter 12: The Sound of Queer Experimental Film - Juan A.

From My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure, his cycle of 18 films made across Europe since 1967, to Pitcher of Colored Light (2007) and The Suppliant (2010), intimate portraits shot in the U.S., Beavers has produced a deeply original film language framed by his use of colored filters and mattes. His investigations of the handwork of anonymous artisans complement his dialogues with Ruskin, Leonardo, and Borromini in Ruskin (1975/1997), From the Notebook of... (1971/1998), and The Hedge Theater (1986/2002). This volume contains critical investigations of Beavers' most important films and a collection of the filmmaker's own writings. Occupying a unique space between poetry and philosophy, his aphoristic meditations vivify his own work and generously illuminate the art of film." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliography and filmographyISBN: 9783901644696Language: EnglishDonation: Senses of CinemaContents: Preface / Rebekah Rutkoff -- 10th of July, 1967 / Gregory J.

The Zanzibar films and the dandies of May 1968 / Sally Shafto New York NY: Zanzibar USA, 2000.
Call No: 771(44) SHAAuthor: Shafto, Sally Place: New York NYPublisher: Zanzibar USAPubDate: 2000PhysDes: 63 p; 21 cmSubject: ZANZIBAR FILMS ; GARREL, PHILIPPE ; FRANCE ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; RAYNAL, JACKIE ; PRODUCTION. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES Summary: The first English-language account of this little-known chapter in French cinema history. Between 1968 and 1970, Sylvina Boissonnas, a young French heiress and patroness of the arts, financed the production of some fifteen films that would prove highly influential while remaining largely unknown outside of France. Under the banner of “Zanzibar Films” (a name taken from the Maoist island nation in East Africa), a decidely informal collective of about a dozen artists, writers, and students began to make their first films. While the New Wave filmmakers had been in their late twenties and early thirties when they began filmmaking, the Zanzibar directors were younger (Philippe Garrel, one of the key figures, was just twenty) and were inspired by the heady spirit and times of May 1968. These filmmakers quickly became the darlings of Henri Langlois, who often showed their films at the Cinémathèque Française in late-night screenings. Despite their diversity, the Zanzibar films were marked by minimal scripts, the use of nonactors and improvisation, and strong ties to both the art world and the world of fashion. (Several of the Zanzibar participants spent time in Warhol’s Factory in the mid-1960s.) Their films represented the French equivalent of the American underground, and these young cinéastes quickly became the radical dandies of May 1968.ISBN: 0970240201Donation: Donated by author
