Summary/Abstract: The beginning of avant-garde movements in cinema was given by the emergence of German Expressionism. The theme of the supernatural, the marginal, and the monstrous, perpetuated in the black-and-white aesthetic framework by the filmmakers of the Weimar Republic period, directly influenced a particular moment in the work of a small circle of Bulgarian writers who formed the avant-garde literary movement of diabolism. Through the process of metamorphosis, this meeting of the avant-gardes created mythologies in two sign systems, cinema and literature.
