Exquisite corpse programming is a method by which a poem is collectively assembled through titles from the FMC's archive. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence by being allowed to see only the title that the previous person contributed. This process was pioneered by surrealists in the early 20th century.
Films included are by FMC filmmaker-members Mary Filippo, Dean Carol Wilder, Joyce Wieland, David Devensky, Tim Kennedy, Gail Camhi, Marvin Jones, and Yuri A.
The Film-Makers’ Cooperative (a.k.a. New American Cinema Group) is the largest archive and distributor of independent and avant-garde films in the world. Established in 1961 by a group of 22 path-breaking moving image artists (including Andy Warhol, Jonas Mekas, Shirley Clarke, and Stan Brakhage), the Coop has more than 5,000 films, videotapes, and DVDs in its collection.
