"This captivating book offers a thorough exploration of intermediality in 20th century filmmaking, examining how three renowned filmmakers have utilized a range of media forms to push the boundaries of traditional cinema and create new, immersive experiences for audiences. Through insightful analysis and thoughtful commentary, readers will discover how these filmmakers used intermedial experiments to innovate cinema and create a thrilling, multi-sensory experience for the viewer. With its scholarly rigour and fresh insights, this book is a must-read for advanced graduate students and scholars in film and media studies, cultural studies, translation studies and avant-garde studies." - Frederic Chaume, Universitat Jaume I, Spain

"Loukia Kostopoulou' s study on intermediality in European avant-garde cinema is a cohesive investigation into how literature, theater and painting are ingeniously employed as modes of experimentation in modern filmmaking. Through its perceptive use of contemporary film examples, by Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov, it provides critical and constructive material that, while is an invaluable resource in the scholarly field, is also accessible to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students." - Evripides Zantides, Cyprus University of Technology
