Amos Vogel's Film as a Subversive Art
Favs/dislikes: 193:12. "Film as a Subversive Art was first published in 1974. According to Vogel--founder of Cinema 16, North America's legendary film society--the book details the "accelerating worldwide trend toward a more liberated cinema, in which subjects and forms hitherto considered unthinkable or forbidden are boldly explored." So ahead of his time was Vogel that the ideas that he penned some 30 years ago are still relevant today, and readily accessible in this classic volume. Accompanied by over 300 rare film stills, Film as a Subversive Art analyzes how aesthetic, sexual, and ideological subversives use one of the most powerful art forms of our day to exchange or manipulate our conscious and unconscious, demystify visual taboos, destroy dated cinematic forms, and undermine existing value systems and institutions." This list contains all movies in the revised version from 2021. Included in this list are movies: 1. with dedicated texts. 2. shown in movie stills. 3. mentioned otherwise as an example of subversive cinema in the context of the text it is mentioned in. Excluded from this list are movies that are mentioned in any other way than an example of subversive cinema. The movies are sorted by appearance in the book. Some movies appear multiple times. In that case, the preferred position is the dedicated text, then a movie still and lastly a mention. The book is divided into parts: Introduction (#1 - #20) Part 1 - Weapons of Subversion: The Subversion of Form (#21 - #170) Part 2 - Weapons of Subversion: The Subversion of Content (#171 - #355) Part 3 - Weapons of Subversion: Forbidden Subjects of the Cinema (#356 - #572) Part 4 - Towards a New Consciousness (#573 - #598) #599 is the back cover. -
