AVANT-GARDES

Chef-d’-oeuvre du cinéma experimental

4-Disc Box DVD PAL Region 0 — 8 Hours of Films
in French with English sub-titles

Lobster Films (Paris) has selected an international panorama of experimental films dating from the origins of cinema to the present from France, Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, and United States.

“Discover the invisible, create or visit parallel universes, surprise, invent, deconstruct and propose new logic. Between classical cinema and cinema of the real, there is a third exciting way, sometimes difficult, always promising. You will be astonished, reassembled, scandalized sometimes... But never indifferent. An extraordinary journey through 125 years of avant-garde cinema!” (Prosper Hillairet)

Co-curated by Serge Bromberg, Bruce Posner, and David Shepard

BREF
“Excellent way to appreciate the movie Avant-garde.”

MORTEL MANAGEMENT
“Incredible, astonishing, stunning spectacle.”
