Recenzii

"This captivating book offers a thorough exploration of intermediality in 20th century filmmaking, examining how three renowned filmmakers have utilized a range of media forms to push the boundaries of traditional cinema and create new, immersive experiences for audiences. Through insightful analysis and thoughtful commentary, readers will discover how these filmmakers used intermedial experiments to innovate cinema and create a thrilling, multi-sensory experience for the viewer. With its scholarly rigour and fresh insights, this book is a must-read for advanced graduate students and scholars in film and media studies, cultural studies, translation studies and avant-garde studies." - Frederic Chaume, Universitat Jaume I, Spain
"Loukia Kostopoulou’ s study on intermediality in European avant-garde cinema is a cohesive investigation into how literature, theater and painting are ingeniously employed as modes of experimentation in modern filmmaking. Through its perceptive use of contemporary film examples, by Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov, it provides critical and constructive material that, while is an invaluable resource in the scholarly field, is also accessible to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students." - Evripides Zantides, Cyprus University of Technology

Descriere

The book proposes a new perspective on avant-garde cinema, utilising approaches from intermediality to explore how the spirit of experimentation, a hallmark of historical avant-garde and post-war artistic movements, is still present in contemporary filmmaking today.

The volume explores how contemporary avant-garde filmmakers have brought innovation to modern cinema. Filmmakers, such as, Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov and their contemporary works will be analyzed, reflecting on their experimentation with cinematic techniques and the mixing of the film medium with other media, such as literature, theatre, and painting. Important research questions considered throughout the book include: How do intermedial experiments convey meaning in films? What is the impact on the spectator of the mixing of various media forms in cinema? And how are the contemporary films of Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov innovative and experimental? The book is devoted to all these themes and provides a thorough analysis of contemporary films examined through an intermedial perspective.

Providing a comprehensive analysis of contemporary avant-garde filmmaking from an intermedial perspective, this book will be of interest to graduate students and scholars working in intermedial studies, film and media studies, and cultural studies.
