Alternative Perspectives is an intensive viewing class, focusing principally on films that are not seen in other classes in this school, being principally radical, non-narrative, experimental films, sometimes long and often difficult, although certain classic silent and early sound films, which are frequently discussed but rarely viewed, will also be explored, insofar as they represent some of the most innovative departures in film history in the practices of montage and sound design. As the primary focus of this class is analysis based on the direct experience of projected works, attendance is mandatory.

Henry Hills somehow alternates between Prague and Vienna, New York and his cabin in rural Georgia. His new film „arcana“ premiered at the New York Film Festival and recently screened at Rotterdam Film Festival. He was a 2009 Guggenheim fellow and his work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
- Assessment methods and criteria
-
Students must keep a JOURNAL of experimental films they see, both in class and outside. This should include sufficient information to convince me that you have seen the films, plus commentary indicating that some of what you have seen has given you some thoughts. Plagiarism from the internet is not acceptable and will result in failure and ridicule. These are due (by e-mail) the end of the last week of classes. If you use Windows, please send as PDF file.
