Avant-Garde Re-Enactment: World Mirror Cinema, Decasia , and The Heart of the World

Abstract

This essay looks at how a number of avant-garde films that work with cinematic images of the past involve spectators in the imaginative creation of historical worlds. These films are re-enactments, not in the sense of offering re-creations of specific historical events, but in the sense of involving spectators in an experience that offers them a feeling for the past.
