I am looking for some recommendations for books that may encompass at least a basic history of avant-garde cinema, rather than focusing on a specific artist or theory. You can assume that I know nothing, or at least very little. I have started with Jonas Mekas's Film Journals and Alternative Projections, both of which I am enjoying very much. I don't care how academic or informal the books are. I am more looking for something broad that will give a jumping off point for as many artists as possible, so that I may then pick and choose which to research individually. Thank you all for your time and consideration.
