Experimental

The first sentence in Fred Camper’s article about experimental film states that it is difficult to define these kinds of films because there is a broad range of styles within the form. With that being said they do share a few qualities, such as they are usually made by one, single person or a small group of filmmakers, or that they the stories are very unclear. Camper states that experimental films usually don’t have to follow the all of the qualities to be classified as an experimental film, but they should all be considered. There are a few films that actually do meet all of the qualities, an example being Meshes of the Afternoon, by Maya Deren.
