experimental cinema

Experimental cinema refers to a genre of film that explores unconventional techniques, structures, and themes, often challenging the traditional narrative and aesthetic norms of mainstream filmmaking. It focuses on artistic expression, emphasizing visual and auditory experimentation rather than storytelling. This can include abstract visuals, non-linear plots, and innovative uses of sound and editing. Experimental films often provoke thought and evoke emotions, inviting viewers to engage with the medium in new ways. They can range from short films to full-length features, often created by independent filmmakers seeking to push creative boundaries.
