MacDonald Response

The article "Introduction to 'Avant-Garde Film'" by Scott MacDonald was interesting to read and find out how Avant-Garde film came about. Also, it is interesting to see how people react to Avant-Garde films since many people are not exposed until later in life. I agree that most people watching an Avant-Garde film will already have the traditional "Hollywood" movie as a frame of reference as to what a film "is." There are a lot of misconceptions about Avant-Garde films, probably because they are not completely understood and are more abstract than commercial films. Even these films cannot always be entirely understood, I think that's what makes Avant-Garde cinema so interesting.
