Hi Frameworkers,
I thought some of you would be interested in my new book on experimental film
and media…
New from University of California Press:
Making Images Move
Handmade Cinema and the Other Arts
Gregory Zinman
Making Images Move reveals a new history of cinema by uncovering its
connections to other media and art forms. In this richly illustrated volume,
Gregory Zinman explores how moving-image artists who worked in experimental
film pushed the medium toward abstraction through a number of unconventional
filmmaking practices, including painting and scratching directly on the film
strip; deteriorating film with water, dirt, and bleach; and applying materials
such as paper and glue. This book provides a comprehensive history of this
tradition of “handmade cinema” from the early twentieth century to the present,
opening up new conversations about the production, meaning, and significance of
the moving image. From painted film to kinetic art, and from psychedelic light
shows to video synthesis, Gregory Zinman recovers the range of forms, tools,
and intentions that make up cinema’s shadow history, deepening awareness of the
intersection of art and media in the twentieth century, and anticipating what
is to come.
