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

Given the state of the world today, there are many compelling reasons for removing the idea of an avant-garde from art history and returning it to the political arena where it began. That’s been one of my goals as a theorist for a long time. Here’s a conversation about it 23 years ago.

Hi Charles, Yale does great work (although I hate their recent, printed leaders) and I don't think you'll find anything lower than their $15/roll advertised pricing. Spectra also processes R8, but they advertise $18/roll. -If you find something as good and cheaper, please post! ---Buck Bito

Hi Charles, I haven't ordered since my R8 100D order a week before the Kodak discontinuation announcement last year, but I have been happily ordering from International Film (John Schwind) for years without a problem. Just give him a call or drop an email to confirm he's got what you want:
