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. 563 Illustrated wrapper.|5CU-BANC. 650 0 Experimental films|zUnited States. 650 7 Experimental films.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00918452. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155. 700 1 James, David E.,|d1945-|eeditor. 700 1 Hyman, Adam,|eeditor. 710 2 Pacific Standard Time (Project) 752 Great Britain|bEngland|dNew Barnet. 954 20160401|bMarcive Authority Bib 956 20150911|btbpr 956 20160321|bpfmcq|cMC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20171126 994 C0|bCUY
