While it is the task of Documentary or fiction film, to observe or reenact reality, experimental film is not bound to reflect “truly” the surface of “reality” like a mirror. It is free to create a new reality, a piece of art open for all kind of interpretation by the audience.In this course a wide range of films utilizing experimental modes are screened. Through the examination of cinematographic approaches across the various experimental films or experimental parts in conventional films students will get an idea of possible alternative ways of filmmaking.
