Views from the Avant-Garde 2010
Gavin Smith, le rédacteur en chef du pointu “Film Comment” a concocté avec Mark McElhatten une série de programmes sur l’avant-garde qui seront projetés pendant le festival du film de New York du 30 septembre au 3 octobre. Les films présentés sont majoritairement américains et récents mais on aura aussi l’occasion d’y découvrir des rushs inédits de Pierre Clémenti, les derniers films de Jean-Marie Straub et un focus sur le travail de l’Allemande Helga Fanderl et de l’Anglais Jeff Keen.
Voici le programme en anglais, obviously !
