Dear Frameworkers,I'll be teaching a History of the American Avant-garde class in the fall (there'll be 2 weeks of early cinema and then we'll move quickly into the 1942-present period) -- and I would like to have a good history to use as the basic text, to be supplemented with journal essays, artist's essays etc. Is there a text you'd recommend, preferably one that discusses some of the major critical responses to the films as well as the films themselves?
The class will be offered to juniors and seniors, with very little experimental film background or experience. There will be a production for component for students who sign up for it (so students can take the history course alone or take an experimental production course in conjunction with my crit/hist class). Feel free to respond to me offlist. Many thanks, Joan -- Joan Hawkins Associate Professor Indiana University Dept of Communication and Culture 800 E.
