Avant Garde is experimental type of film. The genre of film experiments with all components included in film such as new ideas, techniques and editing style. Being experimental makes them type of film that pushes boundaries and invent new styles and conventions. Hence the name “Avant-garde” which means ‘ahead of their times” in French. Playing with the codes and convention of narrative creates an abstract style. This abstract style sees beauty and stories in the oddest objects which may shock viewers. Film makers that create ‘Avant-garde’ films normally want to shock and make the viewer think outside the box rather than sticking to ordinary. Experimental films are completely parallel to the typical codes and convention of a mainstream film that we see in everyday cinema that why these films are more underground and never make it to cinemas. Avant Garde films often receive mixed opinions; many people see it as poetry in film form and have a artistic visuals throughout. Some find it very weird and disturbing at times. So it’s a genre of film that seen as love and hate. Avant Garde film is made to shock the audience to bring out opinions that aren’t normally said after watching a film. This is a new way for people to express there opinion with emotion and passion as the film emotionally effects you as you watch it and it’s clear straight after watching a Avant Garde film whether you love it or hate it.
