[Frameworks] seminal writing on American a/g film after 76

[Jack Sargeant]

Hi

Not sure how you are defining avant-garde, but what follows is a list of books (and a couple of articles and / or chapters) that deal in whole or part with experimental / underground / avant-garde (?) cinema post '76, or are over views which trace the influence of a pre-76 filmmaker beyond '76.

> Hello all,
> A friend is compiling a bibliography and needs to know the 4-5 most important scholarly books or articles on American a/g film made after 1976. My scholarship on the a/g is mostly in the 60s and 70s and while I know much of the work that comes after, I wanted to confirm my suspicions.
