Outside Mainstream & Film Experiments

Why is experimental film important? Experimental film making is a world all its own, and it's one that is often overlooked by the majority of the population. It's a unique and powerful art form that provides countless benefits beyond the fact that it allows us to be artists in the truest sense of the word.

In this technological era artists are finding new ways to experiment by inventing and reinventing new and old techniques. Avant-Garde was a military term that literally translate to "forward guard." It described the soldiers on horseback that led troops into battle. Avant-garde filmmakers are basically doing the same thing with art. Paving the way and creating art that is not mainstream. It is important to have these experimental film makers to push boundaries. These type of short films allow the audience to experience the world in an unfamiliar way that may shock, amaze or disturb us.
