Experimental filmmakers are individual
artists in the 20th century such as
Stan Brakhage,
Hollis Frampton[?],
Joseph Cornell, and
Tony Conrad who used film as a
visual art form rather than a
storytelling or as a form of commercial
media. Developed on both sides of the Atlantic at such artist-run organizations as
Anthology Film Archives[?],
The Millennium Film Workshop[?], the
Collective for Living Cinema[?] and
The Film Makers Cooperative[?] in
New York, the
British Film Institute[?] in
London and the
National Film Board of Canada. Many of the
artists involved in this movement remained outside of the
mainstream commercial
cinema and
entertainment industry and became teachers at universities such as the
State University of New York.
