STRUCTURAL FILM ANTHOLOGY. EDITED AND WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PETER GIDAL. BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE, LONDON.

The "Structural Film Anthology" is a collection of texts about what have been termed Structural Films. It attempts to bring together texts from Europe, Britain, and the United States, providing a first attempt to do so. The anthology was published to coincide with the series of eighteen programs, Structural Film Retrospective, at the National Film Theatre, London, in May 1976. It includes contributions from various filmmakers and writers such as Peter Gidal, Malcolm LeGrice, Michael Snow, and others. The anthology is a significant resource for understanding the theory and definition of structural/materialist film and the work of filmmakers associated with this movement Contents......Page 5 Introduction......Page 6 Theory and Definition of Structural/Materialist Film......Page 7 Abstract Film and Beyond......Page 28 Peter Gidal......Page 34 Gordon Gow......Page 36 Jonas Mekas......Page 39 Simon Hartog......Page 42 Annette Michelson......Page 44 Peter Gidal......Page 51 Michael Snow......Page 56 Peter Gidal......Page 58 Malcolm LeGrice......Page 62 Peter Gidal......Page 70 Peter Gidal......Page 79 Hollis Frampton......Page 81 Lois Mendelson and Bill Simon......Page 84 Mike Dunford......Page 93 Paul Sharits......Page 96 Peter Gidal......Page 100 Peter Gidal......Page 101 Peter Gidal......Page 103 Jonas Mekas......Page 104 Deke Dusinberre......Page 115 Birgit Hein......Page 120 Gill Eatherley......Page 126 George Landow......Page 127 Fred Camper......Page 129 Peter Gidal......Page 132 John Du Cane......Page 133 William Raban......Page 135 Peter Gidal......Page 137 Verina Glaessner, Fred Drummond......Page 139 Roger Hammond, David Curtis......Page 140 Malcolm LeGrice......Page 141 John Du Cane......Page 143 Regina Cornwell......Page 145 Afterword......Page 147 Edited And With An Introduction By Peter Gidal.
