Avant-Doc : Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema, Paperback / softback Book

Avant-Doc : Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema Paperback / softback

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.
