At the beginning of the new millennium, an explosion of experimental film took place in the Buenos Aires movie scene, and creators whose work attracted attention at world festivals began to appear in large numbers. In seven works by various authors the book Buenos Aires Experiment seeks to look at the conditions of experimental filmmakers´ work and to reflect on it in the context of broader artistic scene. It also follows links to Argentinean experimental authors from the late 1960s to early 1980s, which the young generation endorse. This book will please creators as well as spectators of experimental films and all those interested in non-European filmography.
