Kurt Kren - Structural Films (Hardcover)

Kurt Kren was a vital figure in Austrian avant-garde cinema of the postwar period. His structural films--often shot frame-by-frame following elaborately prescored charts and diagrams--have influenced filmmakers for decades, even as Kren himself remained a nomadic and obscure public figure. Kurt Kren, edited by Nicky Hamlyn, Simon Payne, and A. L. Rees, brings together interviews with Kren, film scores, and classic, out-of-print essays, alongside the reflections of contemporary academics and filmmakers, to add much-needed critical discussion of Kren's legacy. Taken together, the collection challenges the canonical view of Kren that ignores his underground lineage and powerful, lyrical imagery.
