20 Essential Films for an Introduction to Avant-Garde Cinema

"The avant-garde interest in Cinema can be traced in the modernism obsession with photography. If the depiction of reality was Art's main role, Art was falling short in front of a camera. Though the positions of Avant-garde manifestations at this issue vary, most of them found in photography and especially in Cinema a suitable media to divorce Art from its institutional canons.
The amount of films regarded as Avant-garde is huge. Today, as a term applied to films, Avant-garde is used in a more open sense to refer all movie experimentally produced. Moving through the limits of narrative, time and technique, those movies are a matter of great interest to Cinema students and dilettantes.The next is a list of twenty Avant-garde films. It doesn't cover all the big names of Avant-garde Cinema, nor does it take account of all its essential titles. Its intention is merely to work as brief introduction to the richness of Avant-garde Cinema".
