Assertion (A): The experimental filmmakers, whether favouring rhythmical abstraction or surrealistic projections of inner reality, approach the cinema with conceptions which alienate it from nature.

Reason (R): They are ignoring the spirit of modern printing and literature and preferring creativity that inhibit camera exploration of reality.

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false

(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true

Correct Ans: (C)

Explanation:

Assertion (A) claims that experimental filmmakers focus on rhythmical abstraction or surreal projections. They separate cinema from nature by prioritizing artistic expression. These filmmakers challenge conventional norms by exploring inner realities.

Reason (R) suggests that they ignore modern printing and literature. It claims they prefer creativity that blocks the camera’s ability to explore reality.

This reason is inaccurate. Experimental filmmakers do not necessarily ignore modern literature or printing. Instead, they use creativity to redefine reality. They focus on inner experiences rather than conventional forms.

Their work often draws from artistic movements and literary ideas. They aim to reshape how we view reality, not to limit the camera’s exploration of it.

Thus, (A) is true. However, (R) is false because it misrepresents the filmmakers’ purpose. The correct answer is (C) – (A) is true, but (R) is false.
