Dear fellow experimental filmmakers I've published The East Village Detective: On Bill Morrison's Historical Poetics <https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/east-village-detective-on-bill-morrison-historical-poetics/> in the Los Angeles Review of Books last week; my essay works around Morrison's most recent work (The Village Detective: A Song Cycle) to survey how his career demonstrates the place of experimental film in the practice of history (not just film history, but history period). It brings Morrison's work into conversation with that of other experimental filmmakers, mainly Joseph Cornell, as well as conventional "historical" documentarians, such as Ken Burns.
In any case, I'd like to share it with y'all, and I will be pleased to hear any feedback from you. Too, of course, please share it with all whom you feel might find it interesting for their own practice, scholarship, or teaching. Best wishes, Seth Fein sevenlocalfilm.com
