It is (excuse the pretentious title--it wasn't my choice, but these days university presses have control of titles) American Ethnographic Film and Personal Documentary: The Cambridge Turn. The book focuses on the work (and the artistry) of a number of documentary filmmakers who have emerged over the past half-century in Cambridge, Massachusetts (mostly from within what was the MIT Film Section and from Harvard's Film Study Center and Visual and Environmental Studies Department): among them, John Marshall, Robert Gardner, Timothy Asch, Ed Pincus, Miriam Weinstein, Alfred Guzzetti, Richard Rogers, Ross McElwee, Robb Moss, Nina Davenport, John Gianvito, Amie Siegel, Jeff Daniel Silva, Lucien Castaing-Taylor, JP Sniadecki, Stephanie Spray, and Verena Paravel. I make a point of elaborating on some of the many interconnections between what is usually called avant-garde film and those films I discuss in detail. Unfortunately, the book is over-priced (the Press tells me $39.00 is a normal price for a book of this size, but it seems extravagant to me)--I'm sorry about this. But hopefully, the book will be of use to some of you.

Re: [Frameworks] textbook recommendation
Joan, all, I agree that there's not yet (and perhaps will never be) a single, comprehensive history, for all the reasons Scott says. I think those of us who teach and who may be following the current debates on MOOCs as pedagogical tools might propose to design one of these online courses. (How 'bout it? If McGraw-Hill won't have us, maybe Coursera or xEd will! The History of Avant-Garde Film. we could all make lots 'o' money!) Joan, I just finished teaching an Avant-Garde Film History course, which I offer fairly regularly at UNM. We spend a good few weeks at the beginning of the semester on the European avant-garde movements, and then move on to (mostly) American films, 1940s to the present. Because I haven't yet figured out a way to force my students to read, this semester I just typed out some excerpts from what I thought were the most useful articles on the particular film(s) or movements, and handed them out in class. For further reading (hope reigns eternal!) I also put some 100+ articles on e-reserves, which I can burn to a disc. I'd be happy to send those to you, or to anyone else who might be interested. I'll contact you offline, Joan.

I would say that about MOTION STUDIES, too. I hope it's clear that my point was that I don't think there is a single broad historical survey of avant-garde cinema, so that anyone who wishes to teach a survey course on the subject must cull together material from different sources, including most definitely your books. I've used several of your interviews and other writings in classes I've taught, as well as in my own research. Maybe it's wrongheaded of me to hope for a complete history - and as I suggested in my last post, anyone who attempted such a thing would probably be in for a lot of flack. I don't know that a historical survey ala Bordwell/Thompson's or David Cook's would ever find a publisher: no matter how broad such a study would be, it would still be too narrow and specialized to be appealing as a textbook to an academic publisher. And perhaps the very idea is anathema to the avant-garde spirit. Imagine the for dummies-style prose of a college textbook (MgGraw-Hill's The Big Book of Avant-Garde Cinema) applied to Brakhage, or Frampton, or Rainer - yikes. But I would still like to see, one of these days, a broad, synthetic, and straightforward account of the subject, as it might encourage more teaching of this kind of cinema at the college or even high school level.

To my knowledge, there is not a good general history of AGF, much less one accessible to students with little or no background in the subject (or related subjects like art history). Indeed, I can't think of any book that purports to offer such a history - the closest I can think of is A.L. Rees's A HISTORY OF EXPERIMENTAL FILM AND VIDEO, which, while fascinating, is a little advanced for uninitiated readers, and leaves off in the 1970s before going on to focus specifically on British practice. Despite its title, it's a little scattershot historically (which I say as an admirer of the book and of Rees's work generally).
Re: [Frameworks] experiments in cinema
Bernard, I agree! And what you say about these screenings, down to the ability to experience annoyance and frustration in the very midst delight and inspiration (in a world that insists on not allowing us to risk even a second of our time), goes, I think, to the heart of what happened this week. So congratulations, and SO many thanks to Bryan Konefsky, Michelle Mellor, and all my colleagues and students, who worked so hard to bring this experience to our lives.

If it appeared at one time that the meaning of a film screening were being lost, Experiments in Cinema is correcting the impression. I don't understand how there could be so many people in a cinema theater, night after night, in the middle of the week as well as on Saturday, and for experimental work - new work! No classics of the avant-garde here. On Sunday at noon? For work devoted to collaborations with the earth? In Albuquerque? What is going on! It has been a very long time since I waited in anticipation for a screening like I did last week - again and again. It's not the academic careers sustained by such a program, or the educational value of such an experience to people in town: I keep thinking about what it must've been like early on, sitting up there in the front row during the screenings of particularly demanding works, at a time when film . . even video . . the whole theatrical experience, really, has seemed an anachronism. Sitting up there, then, after listing the sponsors. And how could such an event draw such sponsorship? I don't understand. I don't need to understand. The work in video from Turkey that Ekrem Serder showed renewed my interest in abstraction. Again and again a film was shown with an optical sound track, an experiment, really. I didn't even see it all. I could afford to be annoyed. I could afford to walk out of a show early. I could afford to be an asshole.
