- Opposition to Mainstream Cinema - Doesn't get shown to a wider, mainstream audience
- It doesn't include Plots, it's non-linear, non-figurative and has no coherent narrative
- Poses questions rather than answers
- A lot of different genres and aspects
- Luis Bunuel - Un Chein Anadalon (1929)
- Matthew Barney - The Cemester 3 (2002)
- Oskar Fischinger - Spirals (1926) - Early abstract cinema
- James Whiting - Lapis (1966)
- Stan Brockhage - Black Ice (1994) - Short, handmade - Scratched / painted onto reel
- Stan Brockhage - Mothlight (1963) - Uses actual moth wings instead of paint / scratches
- Andy Warhol - Empire - Static camera filming the empire state building for 10 hours
Conclusion
- Challenging and Radical Cinema
- Takes the idea of cinema and looks at the medium from a fresh angle
- Honesty and Integrity as they are not made for the money - Outside Capitalism
