[Frameworks] artists films/experimental films about cinemas

[Eric Theise]

Richard Myers' Jungle Girl (1984) is feature length (100 minutes) and
its main subject is the 1940s film star Frances Gifford but I remember that
film being framed by the impending destruction of Myers' childhood cinema.

PFA's write up is better than the various coop descriptions.

I associate that film with Hiroshi Sugimoto's series of doomed cinemas…

… but Myers is the greater artist.
