non-narrative film

Non-narrative film is a type of filmmaking that does not follow a traditional story structure with characters and a plot. Instead, it emphasizes visual expression, mood, texture, and abstract ideas, often exploring themes or feelings through imagery, sound, and editing. These films may lack a clear storyline or characters, focusing instead on creating an experience or provoking thought without relying on storytelling conventions. Examples include experimental films, avant-garde works, and certain documentaries that prioritize aesthetic, emotional, or conceptual exploration over linear narrative.
