Demonstrates how avant-garde films better reflect the complexity of history
than conventional film.
SHADOWS, SPECTERS, SHARDS: Making History in Avant-Garde Film
Jeffrey Skoller
University of Minnesota Press | 264 pages | 2005
ISBN 0-8166-4231-1 | hardcover | $74.95
ISBN 0-8166-4232-X | paperback | $24.95
Shadows, Specters, Shards examines experimental films, including work by
Eleanor Antin, Ernie Gehr, and Jean-Luc Godard, that take up events such as the
Holocaust, Latin American independence struggles, and urban politics. In his
discussion of avant-garde film of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, Jeffrey Skoller
reveals how a nuanced understanding of the past is linked to the artistry of
image making and storytelling.
“A passionate and close reading of a body of previously neglected avant-garde
films, which in Jeffrey Skoller's hands are revealed to be at the cutting
edge of some of the most significant social and intellectual debates of the last
three decades. Shadows, Specters, Shards is a timely and provocative
contribution to film culture and scholarship.” —Yvonne Rainer
