Basically, in one sentence, give us the definition of the {\textquoteleft}Cinema of Transgression{\textquoteright}.{\textquotedblright} Nick Zedd: {\textquotedblleft}Fuck you.{\textquotedblright}

Nightmarish scenarios of violence, dramatic states of mind, and perverse sexual abysses {\textendash} the films of the Cinema of Transgression that were consciously aimed at shock, provocation, and confrontation, bear witness to an extraordinary radicality. In the 1980s a group of filmmakers from the Lower East Side in New York went on a collision course with the conventions of American society. Transcending all moral or aesthetic boundaries, the low budget films reveal social hardship met with sociopolitical indifference. Sometimes shot with stolen camera equipment, the films contain strident analyses of life in the Lower East Side defined by criminality, brutality, drugs, AIDS, sex, and excess.\

In the late 1960s and {\textquoteright}70s, artists in Yugoslavia rejected the official language of expression licensed by the regime, abstract art, and replaced it with "anti-art". This book explores this crucial period in the Yugoslav art scene and situates it in the broader cultural context of Central and Eastern Europe. The book follows the show "As Soon As I Open My Eyes I See a Film. Experiment in the Art of Yugoslavia in the 1960s and 1970s", Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, April 24-June 22 2008.
