Ex-Cinema. Akira Lippit

Ex-Cinema - Akira Lippit

What does it mean for film and video to be experimental? In this collection of essays framed by the concept «ex-»—meaning <i>from, outside,</i> and <i>no longer</i>—Akira Mizuta Lippit explores the aesthetic, technical, and theoretical reverberations of avant-garde film and video. <i>Ex-Cinema</i> is a sustained reflection on the ways in which experimental media artists move outside the conventions of mainstream cinema and initiate a dialogue on the meaning of cinema itself.
