Episode 188: Experimental Film Week 1 (Early Avant-Garde)
Description
On Episode 188 of Floating Through Film, we're starting a new series picked by Dany, Experimental Film! Dany starts the episode by trying to give some definitions of what "experimental" cinema could even be, before moving to Week 1's topic, The Early Avant-Garde. Taking 5 categories (Direct onFilm Animation, Cine-Poems, Dada/Surrealism, Absolute Film, French Avant-Garde) from A.L. Rees's book on Experimental Film, we go through a couple short films from each category (all films on available on Youtube, listed here: https://letterboxd.com/djoshuva/list/ftf-experimental-film-series/). We hope you enjoy!
