American avant-garde

Japanese: アメリカン・アバンギャルド - あめりかんあばんぎゃるど
American avant-garde

In the same year, avant-garde filmmaker Stan Vanderbeek called the experimental films of the time, including his own works, "underground." This term was widely used as a journalistic term, but in film history it is called "New American Cinema" (not to be confused with "American New Cinema," which was later given to works such as "No Tomorrow for All Men" and "Easy Rider"), or "American avant-garde." From the late 1930s to the 1940s, the Museum of Modern Art in New York began acquiring and screening prints of European avant-garde films by H. Richter, V. Egeling, F. Léger, Man Ray, Rene Clair, M. Duchamp, S. Dali, and L. Bunuel, and J. Cocteau's "A Poet's Blood" (1930) was released in theaters, which excited young people who were dissatisfied with the traditional Hollywood film system, which had become a film empire, and who rebelled against it but were also burning with the urge to make their own films.
