*FILM AS FILM: THE COLLECTED WRITINGS OF GREGORY J. MARKOPOULOS Edited by
Mark Webber. Foreword by P. Adams Sitney The Visible Press, September 2014*

*Film as Film: The Collected Writings of Gregory J. Markopoulos *contains
some ninety out-of-print or previously unavailable articles by the
Greek-American filmmaker who, as a contemporary of Kenneth Anger, Stan
Brakhage and Andy Warhol, was at the forefront of a movement that
established a truly independent form of cinema. Beginning with his early
writings on the American avant-garde and auteurs such as Dreyer, Bresson
and Mizoguchi, it also features numerous essays on Markopoulos’ own
practice, and on films by Robert Beavers, that were circulated only in
journals, self-published editions or programme notes. The texts become
increasingly metaphysical and poetic as the filmmaker pursued his ideal of
Temenos, an archive and screening space to be located at a remote site in
the Peloponnese where his epic final work could be viewed in harmony with
the Greek landscape. Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928-1992) is a unique figure
in film history, whose life’s work stands in testament to his strength of
vision and commitment to the medium.

“This collection of writings by a key figure of the New American Cinema
complements, illuminates and extends an incomparable body of work. Equal
parts theory, criticism and mythical prose, the texts reflect the charisma
and originality of its author – and his enduring romanticism. Brandished by
the same absolutes and passion that fuel his films, *Film as Film* is a
seminal addition to film scholarship and film history.”
----- Andréa Picard, Toronto International Film Festival

“For the first time the full depths of Gregory Markopoulos’ rigorous
imagination can be fathomed. Film as Film is an indispensable companion to
Markopoulos’ unique cinema and a fascinating chronicle of his probing
thoughts on filmmaking.”
----- Haden Guest, Harvard Film Archive
