a.k.a. The New American Cinema Group. Est. 1961.
The largest archive and distributor of independent and avant-garde films in the world.
A documentary film by Pip Chodorov on the history of experimental film. Includes a 56 page book on the film.
Here is a film that shines with its cast: Hans Richter, Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage, Jonas Mekas, Maurice Lemaitre and other “star” experimental filmmakers (mostly americans, up through the ‘70s) parade in majesty. They do so with no false modesty (their candidness and confidence are rather surprising, sometimes humorous), and with a clear pleasure at having their turn in front of the camera, to be projected and listened to.
