Avant-Doc : Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema Paperback / softback
by Scott (Professor of Film History, Professor of Film History, Hamilton College) MacDonald
Paperback / softback
Description
Over the past fifty years, a unique hybrid genre of nonfiction cinema called the "avant-doc" has emerged in the world of independent film.
Combining the unconventional techniques of avant-garde auteurs like Stan Brakhage with the verisimilitude of traditional documentaries, the avant-doc expands the way cinema captures and chronicles events.
Drawing on firsthand interviews with nineteen of the form's chief practitioners and participants, Avant-Doc constructs an oral history that provides the first insider's perspective on the phenomenon.
