NEW YORK THEATRICAL PREMIERE RUN!
Pip Chodorov
FREE RADICALS: A HISTORY OF EXPERIMENTAL FILM
August 3 – 9
 
This
 feature-length documentary provides a vivid, eye-opening, and 
appropriatelypersonal introduction to one of the most important, yet 
perpetually marginalized, realms of filmmaking: avant-garde cinema.
 
Achieving
 the near-impossible task of doing justice in a mere 82 minutes to this 
incredibly rich, varied, and expansive domain, FREE RADICALS is as 
expertly constructed an introduction to the topic as one could hope for,
 thanks in large part to the film’s privileging of rare interviews with 
some of the most importantfilmmakers in the avant-garde tradition 
(including Jonas Mekas, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Hans Richter),
 and its inclusion of several films in their entirety.
 
Narrated
 in a personal and plainspoken manner by Chodorov, the film’s sincere 
admiration for its subject is best reflected by Chodorov’s own 
description: “I wanted to share a few of the films I love and introduce 
you to some of the free, radical artists who made them.”

“Named
 after the experimental film classic by Len Lye, FREE RADICALS is an 
informative yet above all passionate film essay, as well as a fine 
introduction to the world of avant-garde film. … Using a range of 
different film formats along the way, Chodorov sketches out the 
genealogy of avant-garde filmmaking in a playful, yet ultimately very 
accessible documentary that aims to transmit this legacy to a new 
audience.” –ROTTERDAM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

The
 7:00 opening night screening will feature a live performance by Black 
Lake (Slink Moss & Susan Jennings), the composers of the FREE 
RADICALS soundtrack.–Friday, August 3 through Thursday, August 9 at 7:00 & 9:00 nightly. Additional screenings on Saturday and Sunday at 5:00.


(FREE RADICALS, Pip Chodorov, 2010, 82 minutes, video. Distributed by Kino International.)
