Avant-Garde Film Machine

Unlike narrative films, experimental films, also known as avant-garde films, often present formal and logical arrangements that reject story, theme, and other conventional structuring systems. Indeed, avant-garde filmmakers may discard traditional continuity and cinematographic style to experiment with other patterns. Most experimental films offer a logic of their own, but formal traditions exist within experimental cinema, such as the ironic juxtaposition of typically unrelated subjects. In this spirit of serious play, use the Avant-Garde Film Machine to create your own experimental films.
