Hi Stefan, I spent a few days at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh about a year ago. My recollection is of Greg Pierce telling me that Nameth had pulled all exhibition prints of EPI, and that he was planning a fundamentally new, drastically recut project. This was in the context of offering to show me peripheral works (on VHS) that would be difficult to see outside of a media collection.
We showed the film several times in the Experimental Film Coalition screening series at Randolph St Gallery in Chicago back in the mid-to-late 1980s, and I have my own VHS copy of it, so I didn't take him up on his offer, but if you're not finding prints in expected places, that may be why. I hope you'll post back with what you eventually find. --Eric P.S. Always amused that the closing titles credited "John Cahill", if memory serves.
