>>> I want you to know about a new book, just out from Columbia University Press, on the filmmaker William Greaves. Jacqueline Stewart and I are co-editors of William Greaves: Filmmaking as Mission.
>>> 
>>> Best known for his experimental film-about-its-own-making, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, Greaves was a prolific and influential independent documentary filmmaker who produced, directed, shot, and edited more than a hundred films on a wide variety of social issues and on key African-American figures ranging from Muhammad Ali and Ida B. Wells to Ralph Bunche. Greaves was a multitalented artist whose career included stints as a songwriter, a dancer, a longtime member of the Actors Studio, and during the late 1960s, executive producer and co-host of Black Journal, the first nationally broadcast television show focused on African American culture and politics.
>>> 
>>> William Greaves: Filmmaking as Mission provides the first comprehensive overview of Greaves’ remarkable career. It brings together a wide range of materials, including a mix of incisive essays from critics and scholars; Greaves’s own writings (some never before published); an extensive meta-interview with Greaves, conversations with his wife and collaborator Louise Archambault Greaves and his son David; a dossier on the Symbiopsychotaxiplasm films, and the most complete filmography to date. 
>>> 
>>> Our book is an essential resource on Greaves’s work and his influence on independent cinema and African-American culture. We hope you will find it useful.
