About This Item
U.S.A.: Princeton University Press, 1992. 352pgs. Black Cloth. Silver lettering. 12pages of black and white photos. Both the book and pictorial jacket have a touch of edgewear, otherwise as new. "The essays collected here discuss his films, including the underground classics Walden and The Brig ; his founding and longtime editorship of the influential avant-garde journal Film Culture ; and his widely read column in The Village Voice . Other memorable events in the New York underground scene are recalled as well, such as musician Charlotte Moorman's topless performances playing the cello during the uninhibited 1960s. Some essays are formal and scholarly, others casual and anecdotal". Size: Octavo. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fne/Near Fine.
