Description

The unique contribution of Austrian avant-garde film to world cinema is universally acknowledged. Yet there is no single English book dedicated to illuminating its historical and aesthetic evolution. We intend to address this lack with a comprehensive publication. The core of this book will consist of a richly illustrated text that provides an exhaustive description of avant-garde film production in Austria, both past and present. This overview written by editor Peter Tscherkassky will be accompanied by a compilation of essays authored by an international constellation of respected thinkers. Each will focus upon the work of individual filmmakers as well as contextualize their emergence. Reprints and facsimiles of important texts relating to the Austrian avant-garde will further enhance understanding of seminal works. The book will also be a handy reference, including short biographies and complete filmographies of all the artists, as well as an extensive bibliography. People interested in art and film as well as educators, students, programmers, curators and journalists constitute our target audience. Austrian Avant-Garde Cinema will bring alive and enrich understanding and enjoyment of one of the strongest and most influential well springs of innovative film in the world today.

Contributors: Steve Anker, Steve Bates, Livio Belloï, Christa Blümlinger, Nicole Brenez, Stefan Grissemann, Christoph Huber, Adrian Martin, Maya McKechneay, Norbert Pfaffenbichler, Andréa Picard, Barbara Pichler, Bert Rebhandl, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Hans Scheugl, Peter Tscherkassky, Maureen Turim.
