[Frameworks] Avant-Garde cinema and war

[Alan Sondheim]

Fwiw, Back around the time of the Vietnam War, I made a series of 
in-camera 16mm sound films w/ Jerry Lewis' old auricons, about North 
Korean, Kim Il Sung, etc. I was teaching at UCLA. The films are probably 
sitting at the Coop. Later though I found a 16mm double-sprocketed reel, 
about 20 minutes, which was a reprint of a North Vietnamese film about the 
effects of Agent Orange. It was horrifying. The sprocket holes ran through 
the soundtrack. I had the film copies to single-sprocket mag stripe and 
added a new soundtrack (the old was destroyed) about the war, Nixon etc. 
That was also shown, I'm sure at Millennium (as were the others re: above) 
and is either sitting at the Coop or in my archives at NYU.
