Desc: Free Radicals: A History of Experimental Film: Directed by Pip Chodorov. With Pip Chodorov, Ken Jacobs, Hans Richter, Stan Brakhage. What is experimental film, and why is it called that? Artists and poet working in celluloid since before WWI have always found themselves in a no man's land. Excluded both from the art world and from the film industry, they bodly created a grassroots network for making and showing their films. They also created a profound body of work that continues to influence our culture. I wanted to share a few of the films I love and introduce you some of the free, radicals artists who made them.
