The Modern Word - House of Leaves Review

"more about the empty spaces in our awareness, the tension between certainty and uncertainty, and the ambiguities in our apprehension of ourselves, others, and the world. ... All our efforts to catalogue and quantify the universe may be simple parlor tricks played by the anxious mind, fabrications to distract us from the void at the heart of our being, from the simple chaos that lies at the borders of our consciousness."

Title: Expanded Cinema and Its Relationship to the Avant-Garde Personal 

Author: Hatfield, Jackie Journal Name: Millennium Film Journal

Source: Millennium Film Journal no. 39/40 (Winter 2003) p. 50-65

Publication Year: 2003

Illustration ISSN: 1064-5586

Abstract: The writer argues that interactive moving image practice and its ancestors, expanded cinema, media, and performance, have been excluded from the main theoretical arguments that have shaped the histories of experimental film and video. She concentrates on the canonical arguments laid down by historians and film theoreticians and why she thinks they are problematic for future experimentation. She further argues that the historical uncertainties around the relationship between narrative and the avant-garde have created a reductive environment for experimentation with narrativity. She outlines the supposed lineages that have been applied to categorize experimental film and video and why she believes that these ideological positions must now be reviewed in the light of current interactive practice, but also in relation to experimental cinema as a whole.
