Course contents:

This course provides a general historical excursion into experimental film between the early American underground and the end of the 1980s in Europe. Each lecture presents one historically limited period through key films and filmmakers. The first part of the course covers various aspects of earl American experimental film (trance film, mythopoetic film, ....) and further into their structural, abstract and collage forms in the 1970s. The second part is devoted to important European historic trends, such as structural-materialistic (England - 1970s), The Viennese formal school and its continuation in the creations of artists in the 1980s. Particular chapters are devoted to experimental film of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and Japan.
