Description

Continuing Scott MacDonald's compilation of personal interviews and public discussions with major contributors to independent filmmaking and film awareness. An informative exchange with Amos Vogel, whose Cinema 69 society drew American filmgoers into a broader sense of film history, is followed by interviews reflecting a wide range of approaches to filmmaking. Sally Potter discusses her popular feature, "Orlando," in relation to the experimental work that preceded it and Canadian indepedent John Porter argues for small-gauge, Super-8mm filmmaking. Ken Jacobs discusses the "Nervous System" apparatus with which he transforms old film footage into new forms of motion picture art; Jordan Belson describes his Vortex Concerts, ancestors of modern laser light shows; and Elias Merhige talks about going beneath the "rational structure of meaning" in "Begotten.";This text presents independent cinema as an international phenomenon, with interviews with filimmakers from Sweden, France, Austria, Armenia, India, the Philippines and Japan and examines the work of African Americans, European Americans and Hispanics. The interviewer provides an introductory overview of each interviewee.
