Known and Unknown Forms
Abstract
Book review of The Struggle For Form: Perspectives on Polish Avant-Garde Film 1916-1989 (eds. Kamila Kuc and Michael O’Pray, 2014). The author presents the volume, which familiarises the English speaking reader with the problematics of Polish avant-garde cinema. The book consists of previously published texts, which the reviewer considers its greatest fault – as it proved impossible to present a unitary vision of Polish experimental cinema. However selected chapters written by experts in the field, are highly praised.
