Mekas developed a form of film diary in which he recorded his daily observations. He became the barometer of the New York art scene and a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema. Every week, from 1958 until 1977, he published his “Movie Journal” column in the Village Voice, conducting numerous interviews with filmmakers from all over the world. Conversations is the first time that these interviews with his filmmaker friends and associates have been put together in a book. Mekas recorded the conversations with his camera. From the films he shot with his interlocutors, Mekas selected one photo or still to introduce each interview. The collection of texts is supplemented by letters and extracts from related scenarios /scriptsand rounded out with an index of the people involved.

A history of 1970s experimental film : Britain's decade of diversity / Patti Gaal-Holmes London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2015.
Call No: 771(410) GAAAuthor: Gaal-Holmes, Patti Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Palgrave MacmillanPubDate: 2015PhysDes: xviii, 231 pages ; 23 cm.Subject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS. UK ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; BRAKHAGE, STAN ; DWOSKIN, STEPHEN ; GIDAL, PETER ; JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES (BE/FR, Chantal Akerman, 1975) ; LE GRICE, MALCOLM ; MARXISM AND THE CINEMA ; MCCALL, ANTHONY ; VIDEO ART ; WARHOL, ANDY ; WOLLEN, PETER Summary: "This comprehensive historical account demonstrates the rich diversity in 1970s British experimental filmmaking. It acts as a form of reclamation by integrating films having received inadequate historical and critical recognition and placing these alongside films existing as accepted texts of the decade. This history challenges the problematic 'return to image' thesis, providing examples of written evidence and demonstrating how this has problematically perpetuated a flawed account of the decade. This is the first extensive overview of 1970s filmmaking, contextualizing films within broader aesthetic, theoretical and socio-political frameworks. The detailed textual and comparative analyses offer unique approaches to individual films, shedding light on technical, aesthetic and economic decisions informing filmmaking. As such, it provides a unique understanding of how experimental filmmaking grew from a small handful of films and filmmakers, at the start of the 1970s, to a veritable 'explosion' in filmmaking by the end of the decade"-- TROVENotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781349474912Language: EnglishContents: Introduction -- 1.
