Description

Balancing close analysis of both major and lesser-known films with detailed examinations of their production, distribution, and exhibition, Arthur addresses the avant-garde's cultural significance while offering a timely reconsideration of accepted critical categories and artistic options. Rather than treating American avant-garde cinema as a series of soccessive artistic breakthroughs, this book emhasizes the importance of social and institutional networks, material exchanges, and historical disruptions and continuities.
