Re: [Frameworks] leads for research on USIA and avant-garde film?
Hi Ben, I would suggest posting on the Association of Moving Image Archivists' list-serv as well. Here is a post from 2013 that references a book by a former USIA employee: http://lsv.uky.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1302=AMIA-L=R18346=-3 List-serv sign-up is here: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/amia-l.html -Good luck, --Sincerely, ---Buck Bito - Movette Film Transfer www.movettefilm.com On Fri, July 29, 2016 10:13 am, Ben Ogrodnik wrote: > Hi all, > I'm interested in conducting a bit of research on the film-related > activities of the United States Information Agency (USIA) during the 1960s > and 1970s. > ... > -- > Ben Ogrodnik > PhD student > K.

[Frameworks] leads for research on USIA and avant-garde film?
Hi all, I'm interested in conducting a bit of research on the film-related activities of the United States Information Agency (USIA) during the 1960s and 1970s. I am curious about the range of film projects and filmmakers promoted by USIA (for example, the 1959 *Glimpses of the USA* project by Charles and Ray Eames), as well as the regions of the world where such films were toured during USIA's existence. Anyone know of an archive or resource that might direct me toward this information ? Alternatively, if anyone can point me to scholarly articles on USIA and its forays into independent filmmaking and exhibitions, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks in advance!
