Avant-Garde Films

L.H.O.O.Q., Marcel Duchamp (1919)

Avant-garde
in French means front guard, advance guard, or vanguard.
The avant-garde pushes the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm within definitions of art/culture/reality. 
I suppose all artists are avant-garde at some time in their work because they have to push boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status-quo.

Jean Cocteau
Jonas Mekas
Man Ray
