Dear Deke,

Thank you for sharing this very sad news. I’ve long admired Al’s work - his book and numerous articles on experimental film are never far from my reach when I’m writing, and I’m sure many other scholars would say the same. He was encouraging of my own work, which meant a lot to me. He’ll continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
All best wishes,
Jonathan
