D.E.F.
is both an acronym for “DePaul Experimental Film” and the slang word “def,”
meaning “cool.” Experimental film is a visionary art form, boundary pushing and
virtually limitless in scope. And yes it’s really, really cool!
The juried “Showcase
Screening” features short films that span many forms of the experimental
filmmaking medium, from letterist cinema, to lyrical film, to collage, to
structural, to landscape, to music video, to dance film, to experimental
documentary, experimental narrative, and beyond. In many cases the work is
challenging and complex, stunning visually, and oft times incredibly
personal—it is work that deserves to be seen and celebrated. Preceding the
“Showcase Screening” is Experimental Animation on loop from 1–2:30pm.
These projects were
created by DePaul University School of Cinematic Arts students in Experimental
Filmmaking I and Experimental Filmmaking II classes.
50
