Travis Wilkerson, Adele Horn, Ben Russell, Ben Rivers, Naomi Uman, and
collage-essayist Craig Baldwin. Also <3 Trin T MInha and Chick Strand
Historical stuff I love =70's collective documentaries. Newsreel films, like
The Womens Film, and Kartemquim's "What the f*ck are these red squares" --
so awesome. Also their Inquiring Nuns, a sort of American version of Rouch's
Chronicle of a Summer.
etc. yum.
