Flicker

'In the 1960s, the avant-garde film movement known as structuralist or materialist film refocused attention on the phenomenon of flicker in its investigation of the ontological implications of the material base of the medium - hence the short-lived genre of the 'flicker film'.
Mary Ann Doane
