book		A history of 1970s experimental film : Britain's decade of diversity / Patti Gaal-Holmes London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2015. Call No: 771(410) GAA Author: Gaal-Holmes, Patti Source: UK Place: London Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan PubDate: 2015 PhysDes: 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"-- TROVE Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781349474912 Language: English Contents: Introduction -- 1.

His witty, incisive criticism later worked exacting language into an exploration of the feelings and strategies that went into low-budget and radical films as diverse as Michael Snow's Wavelength, Werner Herzog's Fata Morgana, and Shantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman. Expanded with an in-depth interview and seven essays written in collaboration with his wife, artist Patricia Patterson, Negative Space gathers Farber's most influential writings, making this an indispensable collection for all lovers of film Notes: "First Da Capo Press edition"--T.p. verso; Includes index ISBN: 0306808293 (pbk. : alk. paper) LON: 13667387 More info
