Lessons in Perception: The Avant-Garde Filmmaker as Practical Psychologist

By Paul Taberham

Book Overview

It draws together cognitive film theory and avant-garde film theory. It is written in an intentionally accessible way. Particular films are analysed which haven't been explored elsewhere. It also features (I think) the most detailed analysis of Robert Breer's aesthetic to date. Themes that have been mentioned in passing in texts on experimental film (such as narrative, memory, visual perception and synaesthesia) are addressed directly in detail.
