The first English-language book on the Greek Experimental Cinema director, Antoinetta AngelidiDiscusses diverse dimensions of Angelidi’s creativity, including installations and expos, as well as her innovative theories on cinema Engages with new analytical and theoretical perspectives on Angelidi’s films as artistic airings of an interdisciplinary discourse between cinema, philosophy, psychoanalysis and theories of literatureExamines Antoinetta Angelidi's four full-length fiction films: Idées Fixes / Dies Irae (1977), Topos (1985), The Hours: A Square Film (1995) and Thief or Reality (2001)Angelidi’s work has become synonymous with Greek Experimental Cinema, while her films and her theoretical writings have been the subject of numerous film courses, critical essays and retrospectives. The inversion and juxtaposition of codes, as well as the dream-mechanism and the uncanny, comprise her main creative strategies. The complexity of cinematic heterogeneity and the narrative multiplicity of different filmic elements which characterize her work are examined in depth in this edited collection dedicated to Antoinetta Angelidi’s oeuvre.
