Experimental films describes a whole range of styles of filmmaking that are completely different to mainstream filmmaking. Experimental covers a wide range of practice, an experimental film is often characterized by the ascence of linear narrative, the use of various abstracting tehcnqiues (out of focus, painting or scratching of film, rapid editing), the use of non-diegetic sound or even the abscence of any sound track. Most films were made on very low budgets, with minimal crew and often made by one person, possibly a student. Short films couldn't keep up with Hollywood and the mainstream style of fimmaking, so Avant-Garde found its own home in cinema as art. However, it has been argued recently that these Avant-Garde and experimental films have become a genre in their own. Avant-Garde filmmakers want to experiment with new ideas, forms, tehcnqiues and expressions. The fimmakers often seemd to be "ahead of their times". Avant-Garde represents a pushing of boundaries.
