European Avant-Garde at the NFSA

Event

Arising from postwar disaffection, combined with the political and countercultural youth movements of the 1960s, the European avant-garde rejected the cinematic conventions of the past. Instead, it turned to experimental forms, fragmentation and playful absurdity, abandoning the comforts of narrative continuity.
