Community Rules:

Dangerous videos that contain flashing or other images that may cause symptoms such as epileptic seizures must be posted with the NSFW setting, even if they do not contain sexual or violent content.
As a basic premise, topics in this community are limited to those related to experimental film.
Because experimental films are experimental, they often use visual elements that some people find offensive. Even if you dislike the elements, please comment calmly and rationally.
Moderator is Non-European languages speaker, non-English speaker. Therefore, posts may be written in any language, but please use a standard, official, and polite style, similar to that found in your country’s national language textbooks.
No matter how common it may be, please never use unofficial language, including internet slang. Please understand that these words are meaningless and incomprehensible to speakers of other languages, including moderators.
When submitting content about the film itself, the format should be “Film Director - Title [Video length](Year of Production or Release Year)”.
If your content focuses on experimental film itself, you may post trailers and other content.
If the artist has uploaded the video to a video service other than YouTube, please post the link to that service first. This is because “Google Do Be Evil”.
Questions and chat about experimental film are welcome.
