Ways I Think An Experimental Film Can Be Narrative

When I think about narrative in something like experimental film, I don't always just consider what I'm watching on screen as the story. Instead, I wonder what the filmmaker was doing that led up to the filming of the movie as the story behind what I'm watching. I guess, the hidden motives behind the film are the story to me and it's almost more satisfying to have to use your head and think about what the artist was thinking, instead of just having a story spoon fed to you.

These films are important, I think, because its an excerise of pure artisticness with no reason to be done any way but exactly the way you want to. The fact that almost anyone can be a film artist comes out in the different experimental films of today and is the purest form of uniqueness in the film world.
