Scott,


This looks great. As it happens, I'll be team teaching a course on the "Essay Film" this fall, so I'm sure this will be a wonderful resource. Thanks for the information!

Dear Frameworkers,


I'm hoping some of you might be interested in a new book of mine that has just been published by University of California Press.


It is (excuse the pretentious title--it wasn't my choice, but these days university presses have control of titles) American Ethnographic Film and Personal Documentary: The Cambridge Turn. 

The book focuses on the work (and the artistry) of a number of documentary filmmakers who have emerged over the past half-century in Cambridge, Massachusetts (mostly from within what was the MIT Film Section and from Harvard's Film Study Center and Visual and Environmental Studies Department): among them, John Marshall, Robert Gardner, Timothy Asch, Ed Pincus, Miriam Weinstein, Alfred Guzzetti, Richard Rogers, Ross McElwee, Robb Moss, Nina Davenport, John Gianvito, Amie Siegel, Jeff Daniel Silva, Lucien Castaing-Taylor, JP Sniadecki, Stephanie Spray, and Verena Paravel.


I make a point of elaborating on some of the many interconnections between what is usually called avant-garde film and those films I discuss in detail.


Unfortunately, the book is over-priced (the Press tells me $39.00 is a normal price for a book of this size, but it seems extravagant to me)--I'm sorry about this.


But hopefully, the book will be of use to some of you.


Best Regards,
Scott

Scott MacDonald
