Learning outcomes of the course unit:

Supplementary to a historical survey of avant-garde film, it is useful to examine aspects of this often difficult but generally very rewarding approach to filmmaking and film thought from a variety of different perspectives. In this series of mini-modules we will explore lesser known works and longer works or we will explore a series of more familiar works thematically or juxtaposed in an unfamiliar manner or order, in order to open your eyes and hopefully give you some new ideas.
