Book Presentation:
The practice of re-using film (or video) is a unique field in the history of experimental cinema. From surrealist collage to subversive re-purposing, from structural cinema to mash-ups of videos of every description, the idea of producing a new and original work by using exogenous material has taken numerous forms in experimental or avant-garde cinema. As this book dedicated to found footage will show, the study of this singular and seemingly marginal practice makes it possible to highlight an entire area of the history of film techniques and technology, the history of the reproducibility of moving images and the transformation of materials, pointing out the connection between the material conditions under which films were made and the aesthetic approaches with which they are often closely connected.
