Description
An anthology of the numerous theoretical and critical texts on experimental cinema and moving images written by Yann Beauvais, alongside his films and his activities as programmer and exhibition curator, published in journals, catalogues, or collective works, in French, English, Portuguese, German, etc.
Bringing together texts published since 1979, this book presents an impressive cartography of experimental cinema, past and present. It traces the history of its authors and venues, examines the work of light, space, editing, and sound, questions projection conditions and narrative forms. It explores found footage and sampling, film diary practices, LGBT and queer cinema, and the musical. It engages in dialogue with filmmakers in France, England, Germany, and North America, but also in Taiwan, Brazil, Central and Balkan Europe, etc. Throughout its pages, it above all demonstrates the vitality of film as an aesthetic and political practice capable of challenging both artistic and social forms.
"This imposing and necessary book initiates new questions and perspectives. It constitutes a rich testimony from those who persist in transforming our ways of seeing."
Mildred Durán Gamba, Critique d'art
Edited and introduced by Antoine Idier.
