Avant-Garde/Experimental
Venture Into The Unknown
Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
- Salvador Dali
My, what a daring soul you are to visit such a category... Welcome to the lair of the Avant-Garde film, where Expressionism collides with the Surreal, where Art is everything and mysteries abound! Often lacking plot or even reason, these films are certainly the most artistically driven in the Hierarchy. Sometimes designed to make you think, often made to put you in a whole other universe of thought or simply serve to confuse as a declaration of one person's 'vision'. Either way, we have here a fine selection from abstract shorts to epic trilogies touching the veil of the nonsensical.
