YoFi DMAC

For many, the world of experimental cinema is filled with inaccessible films that are beyond the comprehension of an average movie lover. In this class, you'll learn that nothing could be further from the truth. 

 

It will start with a brief discussion on the basic defining characteristics of avant-garde films and some of the techniques that are used by these artists. Then, using the work of specific filmmakers as examples, we’ll talk about all the ways in which experimental films can teach us to be more inspired filmmakers and film lovers. 

​

This is a FREE lecture with limited seating and general admission on a first-come, first-seated basis.

​

All persons 14+ are welcome.
