Re: [Frameworks] seminal writing on American a/g film after 76
Hi Not sure how you are defining avant-garde, but what follows is a list of books (and a couple of articles and / or chapters) that deal in whole or part with experimental / underground / avant-garde (?) cinema post '76, or are over views which trace the influence of a pre-76 filmmaker beyond '76. best Jack Sargeant Steve Anker, Kathy Geritz, Steve Seid, eds, Radical Light: Alternative Film And Video in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1945-2000, University of California Press, Berkeley, 2010 Dirk de Bruyn, ‘D-Light + MM2 = Dutch Experimental Film’ in Senses of Cinema, issue 34, February 8th, 2005 Ian Christie, ‘Histories of the Future: Mapping the Avant-Garde’ Film History, Vol 20, 2008 Martha Gever, John Greyson and Pratibha Parmar, eds, Queer Looks: Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Film and Video, Routledge, London, 1993 Branden W Joseph, Beyond the Dream Syndicate, Tony Conrad and the Arts After Cage (A ‘Minor’ History), Zone Books, New York, 2011.

Re: [Frameworks] seminal writing on American a/g film after 76
The timing of the neverending conversation coincided nicely with me getting the new MFJ - David Curtis mentions how Maya Deren saw her films as chamber cinema: Maya Deren...described her own films as 'chamber cinema' rather than experimental or avant-garde film, making a crucial point about scale and appropriate context. Implicitly, she saw artists' film as small in scale, which like chamber music should ideally be performed to an attentive audience in an intimate space. Chamber films were 'poetic, lyric-form, abstract, eloquent,' and required small groups of 'virtuoso performers, with every note heard individually,' not lost within a larger orchestration. (via David Curtis in Fall 13 MFJ, Deren quotes from a lecture she gave at Smith College) Obviously her description applies very specifically to her own films, but as a matter of bringing to mind scale / intimacy, I really like the term. Obviously it's far too specific in it's historical referent while being far too open in it's cinematic one to legitimately be used in general, but a nice way to think when making / putting on shows on a personal level.

Re: [Frameworks] seminal writing on American a/g film after 76
a·vant-garde noun 1. new and unusual or experimental ideas, esp. in the arts, or the people introducing them. adjective 1.favoring or introducing experimental or unusual ideas. So avant garde science would include all the unsuccessful experiments regardless of significance, validity, or connection to any historical development. Fortunately science never succumbed to the tradition of the new which undermined sanity in the arts. Insanity seems to rule and reference to or use of tradition is branded as (been there done that - anti avant garde) plagiarism. I prefer the idea of art, like science, being built on a history of useful discoveries for expression, not expression for its own sake at the expense of insightful universality, technique, and craft. -not making any friends, Myron Ort On Nov 7, 2013, at 11:25 AM, Stashu Kybartas wrote: Perhaps we should just admit that the Avant-Garde ended where Post-Modernism and identity politics picked up.

Re: [Frameworks] seminal writing on American a/g film after 76
If Avant-garde is considered as any politically advanced or progressive cultural practice then there is still a desperate need for it (though the concept of 'progressive' may have ceased). The contexts of globalisation, reification and commodification need resisting and not conforming to. Post-modernity isas Lyotard put it, a condition and as a condition (and not a successor, 'replacement or 'style') and encompasses both the traditional and the modern.
