FILM AS FILM: THE COLLECTED WRITINGS OF GREGORY J. MARKOPOULOS
Edited by Mark Webber, with a 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, one whose
 life’s work stands in testament to his strength of vision and commitment to the medium.
