And actually Konrad Steiner just presented a new film of his own (could have been world premiere but I'm not sure; I'd never heard of its existence prior), titled "way" in San Francisco at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a 68-minute film based on a reading by Leslie Scalapino of her long poem also titled "way." I don't know if this is literary enough for the original inquirer but it's a very interesting film. FYI...
