Expanded Cinema: Fiftieth Anniversary Edition

Comprehensive look at experimental film as of 1970. Someone should do a new edition covering 1970 to 2023.

This amazing book captures the incredible and creative landscape of pre-internet visual art in concept and practice. In here you will see the philosophy that precursored YouTube, the internet, digital visual media, multi-media performance and production. The original promise of today’s digital world is laid out in quirky optimism and stands out in contrast to much of today’s reality. The foreword is written by Buckminster Fuller... and his style of writing is an acquired taste for some; the volume beyond that stands apart.
