"...a ground-breaking anthology that brings the conference papers together with specifically commissioned essays, an account of the screening series, reprints of historical documents by and about experimental filmmakers in the region, and other rare photographs and ephemera. With contributions from scholars, graduate students, archivists, curators, and filmmakers from three continents, the resulting diverse and multi-voiced collection radically extends film historiography. It is of great importance, not simply for its relevance to Los Angeles, but also for its general discoveries and projections about alternative cinemas."--Back cover.
