Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941

With the help of more than 60 of the world's leading film archivists, the makers of this fascinating anthology compiled avant-garde samples from the earliest days of cinema, beginning with the medium's infancy in the late 1800s and ending with the advent of World War II. The result is a rare collection of work from both amateur filmmakers and professional directors, some of which has never been screened in public.
