The experiment Part 4 A long look back

‘The Experiment’ is a quarterly screening series that charts the border regions of documentary and experimental modes of filmmaking. This year’s final Experiment takes a much broader focus than previous screening and casts a long look at cinema history.  When did these two genres emerge, and what is their relationship in the context of cinema history? Modern works will be shown along side this first films ever shot in this special one-night event.
