Bohdan:

 

I believe you should check out Noel Burch's _The Theory and Practice of

Film_ 1972.  This book is essential for describing temporal and spatial

articulation.  Burch is also a noted scholar in the primative cinema and

has made two films the critically discuss the primative cinema:

_Correction Please_,  and _What Do These Old Films Mean?_.  I believe both

are available from the Modern Museum Of Art, in New York City.

 

Bart Testa has written a book that deals with these Issues as well:  _Back

and Forth:  The Advant-Garde and the Primative Cinema_,  University of

Toronto Press, 1993.  Further suggested readings include _Before the

Nickelodeon_.
