Experimental film is abstract films by individual artists that use alternative film strategies. They use different film stock, light, cuts, editing, movement that break the normal rules of filmmaking. Vinyl an experimental film by Andy Warhol is very groovy and shot interestingly. It brings us back to the 1960s immediately by the outfits, music, and location. A guy is dancing in the for front with men and a women in the backround. His dance moves are almost amusing. His facial expression is serious but he looks like he is having fun. He is just dancing and enjoying himself. I think this short film is an interesting take on the time period when rock and roll and dance clubs were prevelent. It is a moment in time that has stuck and is shown well through his camera. I will keep looking at more Warhol experimental films because as an artist he is very influential and unique.
I found a website with the top 25 best short films of all time. I watched a few of them and they are very interesting, very different from what I am used to watching. Eaten Horizons, specifically, was very strange in my opinion. It opens up to some sort of ritual taking place with very uncomfortable noises being made. One of the focuses throughout the film is on a loaf of bread. Throughout the film their are sounds played at different frequency to add to the oddness of the film. After opening and eating from a women back, a loaf of bread is once again obtained inside the women. The film ends with the bread opening up and spilling out. This film was very unusual to me and challenged my preconceived expectations of cinema.
