Hello everyone,

I can't recommend this program enough. I saw it at Anthology a few
years ago - came out with a completely different view of 60s-70s
British avant-garde film than I went in with. I would love to see it
tour the U.S. It would start a much needed new wave of scholarship on
the subject.
