a fantastikc novel called the flicker- cant remember author but sold
initially at momi london. its about contemporary cuture experimental
underground film-making and annhilqtion - (wait for it) - from punk and the
american underground with work of people like kenneth anger/warhol- traced
back to the catholic/cathars in the 13th century and burning of cathar
communities. almost like revenge of the cathars through b-movie and cheap
horror and experimental filmmaking- factually correct all the way through -
written as fiction as "we wouldnt believe fact" -
