Funded Activity Summary

Experimental Cinemas and their Publics. The aim of this project is to undertake a major study of the cultural organisations and institutions that have shaped different types of cinematic experiment and their publics in Australia, Britain, and the United States since the mid-1940s. This study's assertion that all experiment in the cinema has been undertaken in an environment of culturally and institutionally controlled risk, has been designed both to contribute to an important revision of the way experimental cinema is thought about and taught, and to engage film and new media producers themselves in critical discussion about the roles of institutions in experimental media cultures.
