Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to present the development of experimental and avant-garde cinema within the broader framework of technological and stylistic changes since the invention of the cinematograph. In particular, the major figures and their groundbreaking works will be examined, as well as the generic, aesthetic and conceptual background of other artistic disciplines intertwined with the moving image in unilateral or mutual influence.
Students are able to describe the technological aspect of movies. Students are able to compare and interpret historical periods of avant-garde film, experimental film and videoart. Students can evaluate the exaples from sontemporary film, gallery and archival practise.
