Description
From Maya Deren to Su Friedrich via Stan Brakhage, Kenneth Anger, Yvonne Rainer and Michel Snow, P. Adams Sitney's book traces half a century of American avant-garde cinema by analyzing in detail the key films of its main protagonists. The both historical and theoretical dimension of Cinéma visionnaire, in its third edition entirely revised and expanded, the first in French, makes it the essential reference book on the subject. Abundantly illustrated, this work addresses both the specialist and the enthusiast, revealing the multiple facets of these fascinating films that challenge the very definitions of cinema.
