Technology and the Making of Experimental Film Culture
Powers, John (Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies, Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies, Washington University in St. Louis)
Technology and the Making of Experimental Film Culture examines how the avant-garde embraced small-gauge media technologies such as the Bolex camera, 16mm reversal film stocks, commercial film laboratories, and low-budget optical printers, investing them with meaning and value. This book uses technology as a lens for examining the process of making: where ideas come from, how they are put into practice, and how arguments about those ideas foster cultural andartistic commitments and communities.
