[Frameworks] Carl Linder's Films

[Dominic Angerame]

To my memory two of Carl Linder’s films Womancock, and Vampira were pulled from distribution and believe that they were sent to Anthology in New York…The Canyon Cinema paper archives were sold to Stanford in 2011, (thankfully, since we were about ready to go under) and u may search the filmmaker files to see if there is a note in his file about the whereabouts.

Have done some digging on my end, largely with the Filmmakers Co-op's paper archive and some information from Canyon Cinema, and have hit a bit of a dead end. From the descriptions and reviews that I've read of his films from the likes of Jonas Mekas, Ken Kelman, and P. Adams, they seem fairly major (or perhaps they're more films of their time, who knows?)

I know the Academy houses both Womancock and Vampira, but I'm trying to locate information on his other films as well. (I also know Anthology uploaded a video to their YouTube page that's credited to Linder, titled Electrolux Lover and featuring Jack Smith, but they took it down earlier this year).
