SUÁREZ The Gryphon group has had an uneven reception history: well-known and well-regarded in experimental film circles during its active years—the mid- 1940s to the late 1960s—it suffered an eclipse in succeeding decades and now seems poised for a return, as recent publications, conferences, and film programs begin to assess Gryphon’s place in the history of avant-garde cinema. The group’s core members were Marie Menken and her husband, Willard Maas. Among those who worked under the Gryphon imprint are Ben Moore, Charles Boultenhouse, John Hawkins, and Charles Henri Ford. And on the outer edges of the collective were Gregory Markopoulos and Stan Brakhage. Maas claimed them as members and they allowed their work to be connected with the group but did not feel strongly committed to it. 1 The list of Gryphon’s friends and collaborators makes up an impressive cross-section of the postwar avant-garde, and includes filmmakers Norman McLaren, Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, and Andy Warhol, poet and film - maker Gerard Malanga, critic Parker Tyler, Living Theater founders and directors Julian Beck and Judith Malina, the British poet George Barker— a protégé of T.S.

It is fitting that we celebrate with a programme For more than fifty years, that idea was foundational for Brakhage’s dedicated to the films of Jodie Mack whose work exemplifies the energy, gaze-obsessed artistry. Thanks to his films andMetaphors on Vision, exploration and sheer thrill that we've come to know through the legacy of his manifesto that opens with those lines, Brakhage’s imagination has Len Lye. Glitch Envy is the first survey of Mack's work presented in Aotearoa become equally foundational for film art at large.

  • Capital Campaign Brochure
    COMPLETION PROJECT Leading up to its 50th anniversary, Anthology Film Archives is undertaking a capital campaign to restore, upgrade, expand — and complete — its century-old East Village courthouse building to better meet the needs of the film-going public, visiting students and scholars, and its expanding collections and programs. MISSION Anthology Film Archives is an international center for the preservation, study, and exhibition of film and video, with a special emphasis on indepen- dent, avant-garde, and classic cinema. Fueled by the conviction that the index of a culture’s health and vibrancy lies largely in its margins, Anthology strives to advance the cause and protect the heritage of a kind of cinema that is in particular danger of being lost or overlooked. OUR WORK For nearly 50 years, Anthology has been committed to the preservation and restoration of work by the most important American independent and experimental filmmakers. To date, Anthology has preserved more than 1,000 works through modern preser- vation techniques — both photochem- ical and digital. Visited regularly by scholars, curators, writers, students, and aspiring filmmakers, Anthology works to make important titles accessible to the general public through screenings, archival loans, on-site research, and online access. Anthology’s programming is among the most diverse of any repertory cinema in the United States, encom- passing its Essential Cinema series, as well as premieres, revivals, retro- spectives, and survey screenings IMAGES FROM FILMS of contemporary and classic works “I am awed by what Anthology Film Archives PRESERVED BY ANTHOLOGY (TOP TO BOTTOM): MESHES of cinema from around the world.

  • Women's Experimental Cinema
    FILM STUDIES/WOMEN’S STUDIES BLAETZ, Women’s Experimental Cinema provides lively introductions to the work of fifteen avant- ROBIN BLAETZ, garde women filmmakers, some of whom worked as early as the 1950s and many of whom editor editor are still working today. In each essay in this collection, a leading film scholar considers a single filmmaker, supplying biographical information, analyzing various influences on her Experimental Cinema Women’s work, examining the development of her corpus, and interpreting a significant number of individual films. The essays rescue the work of critically neglected but influential women filmmakers for teaching, further study, and, hopefully, restoration and preservation. Just as importantly, they enrich the understanding of feminism in cinema and expand the ter- rain of film history, particularly the history of the American avant-garde. The essays highlight the diversity in these filmmakers’ forms and methods, covering topics such as how Marie Menken used film as a way to rethink the transition from ab- stract expressionism to Pop Art in the 1950s and 1960s, how Barbara Rubin both objecti- fied the body and investigated the filmic apparatus that enabled that objectification in her film Christmas on Earth (1963), and how Cheryl Dunye uses film to explore her own identity as a black lesbian artist. At the same time, the essays reveal commonalities, in- cluding a tendency toward documentary rather than fiction and a commitment to nonhi- erarchical, collaborative production practices. The volume’s final essay focuses explicitly on teaching women’s experimental films, addressing logistical concerns (how to acquire the films and secure proper viewing spaces) and extending the range of the book by sug- gesting alternative films for classroom use.
