FILM NOISE AESTHETICS in Jackie Hatfield (Ed.) Experimental Film & Video Anthology (Luton) John Libbey 2006
The past thirty years has seen a shift from production to reception and the end of the autonomous object, which had been defined by its intrinsic or formal properties. Cinema, performance and music have interweaving relationships with art, sometimes close but more often diametrically opposed.

It is this dialectic and the emergence of noise within post-modernity, and in particular within experimental film, that this paper seeks to address.
