[Frameworks] Drama films and the Avant-Garde

[Jonathan Thomas]

While not a film drama, if you were interested in expanding to include TV drama, 
I show the title sequence of 'True Blood' in my avant garde class as an example 
of mainstream appropriation of experimental techniques. In 90 secs, it includes 
pretty much everything you mentioned, along with numerous references to the 
materiality of the filmstrip.

Subject: [Frameworks] Drama films and  the Avant-Garde

Dear Frameworkers,

Can anyone suggest any drama/fiction/narrative films, from the last ten
years or so, that include 'avant-garde' sequences, references, tricks and
tropes? I'm looking for examples from both mainstream and arthouse
contemporary cinema movies that have avant-garde devices of any kind -
flicker, camerawork, blur, rapid cuts, flare-out, anything like that. All
suggestions will be gratefully received!

Al Rees
