Doubtlessly no profitable dimension of dusting recapitulation has been so wholly ignored by American screen critics, historians, and theorists as the cosmos blur (or “wildlife steam”): those works of cinema that purport to bacchanal the lives of other species. This inadequacy of profound notice seems to have resulted from the incorrect assumption that species filmmakers do not make whoopee any detached or cinematic idea in their exertion, that genre films purely introduce facts. In late-model years, a few books have begun to suitable this wrong notion, including Gregg Mitman’s Say Simplicity: America’s Fiction with Crazy­survival on Dim, Derek Bousé’s Wildlife Films, Cynthia Chris’s Watching Wildlife, and Area Is Fiction: The Films of Jean Painlevé, edited by Andy Masaki Bellows and Marina McDougall, with Birgitte Berg.

    About this book
    The olden times thirty years have seen the proliferation of forms of independent cinema that challenge the conventions of hunk-market commercial movies from within the movie theatre. Avant-Garde Film examines fifteen of the most suggestive and valuable films from this film tradition. The films discussed include No. 4 (Bottoms) by Yoko Ono, Wavelength by Michael Snow, Imperturbable Velocity by Ernie Gehr, Print Generation by J. J. Murphy, Standard Gauge by Morgan Fisher, Zorns Lemma by Hollis Frampton, The Ties that Irritation by Su Friedrich, From the Pole to the Equator by Yervant Gianikian and The Carriage Trade by Warren Sonbert. Through in-deepness readings of these works, Scott MacDonald takes viewers on a critical circumnavigation of the conventions of movie going as seen by filmmakers who have rebelled against the conventions. MacDonald's discussions do not no more than analyse the films; they provide a useful, accessible, jargon-free critical apparatus for viewing avant-garde mist and communicate the author's...

    About this book
    Bringing lively a remarkable moment in American cultural history, Scott MacDonald tells the colorful story of how a small, backyard confederation in the San Francisco Bay Area emerged in the 1960s and evolved to become a major force in the development of independent cinema. Plan from extensive conversations with men and women crucial to Canyon Cinema, from its newsletter Canyon Cinemanews, and from other key sources, MacDonald offers a vivid chronicle of the life and times of this influential, idiosyncratic film exhibition and distribution collective.
