Hey hey Frameworks, Hope you're all doing well today!
Am reaching out to try and see if anyone here has information on Carl Linder, or where any of his films might be currently located. Have done some digging on my end, largely with the Filmmakers Co-op's paper archive and some information from Canyon Cinema, and have hit a bit of a dead end. From the descriptions and reviews that I've read of his films from the likes of Jonas Mekas, Ken Kelman, and P. Adams, they seem fairly major (or perhaps they're more films of their time, who knows?) I know Linder wrote a book on filmmaking near the end of his life (the technical merit of the book, from what I've read, seems awfully spotty) and that he pulled his 8-or-so films from the Co-op in 1979 right before going on a college tour (he died unexpectedly in 1980, so I'm guessing the unavailability of said films is connected with that) but any information anyone might have would certainly be of great help! I know the Academy houses both *Womancock *and *Vampira*, but I'm trying to locate information on his other films as well. (I also know Anthology uploaded a video to their YouTube page that's credited to Linder, titled *Electrolux Lover* and featuring Jack Smith, but they took it down earlier this year). Feel free to contact me privately if you feel more comfortable that way. Best, Paul
