With in-depth interviews of directors like Nina Davenport, Ross McElwee, Ed Pincus, and others, Avant-Doc provides a unique oral history of the hybrid genre of nonfiction film that combines the techniques of avant-garde auteurs with the more traditional methods of conventional storytelling.
Over the past fifty years, a unique hybrid genre of nonfiction cinema called the "avant-doc" has emerged in the world of independent film. Combining the unconventional techniques of avant-garde auteurs like Stan Brakhage with the verisimilitude of traditional documentaries, the avant-doc expands the way cinema captures and chronicles events. Drawing on firsthand interviews with nineteen of the form''s chief practitioners and participants, Avant-Doc constructs an oral history that provides the first insider''s perspective on the phenomenon.
