Summary

A bold new account of its subject, Cinema Expanded provides the first scholarly studies of lesser-known avant-garde cinematic works, in addition to the works of artists like Andy Warhol and Nam June Paik, and argues that these works radically explore cinema's outer limits, even challenging the definition of cinema itself.

Additional text

Jonathan Walley's encyclopedic treatment of expanded cinema both historicizes the genre and — in its detailed attention to a new generation of practitioners — brings it up to date. Frequently polemical, Walley's analytical, modernist, and avowedly revisionist account is perhaps the first book to fully articulate the stakes of such expanded practices within the history of cinema proper.
