Reviews

By means of meticulous archival research Gracia Ramirez rewrites a key period of American independent and experimental film. She depicts in detail both the forerunners for the American Film Institute and its coming into being, connecting institutions, persons, and policies. This important study shows not only how behind every independent film and filmmaker there is a web of institutions and policy-makers, but also how these are part of both national and international American political aspirations. The American Film Institute and the Cultural Politics of Experimental and Independent Cinema constitutes essential reading for everyone interested in the history of American experimental film and cultural policy in general. --John Sundholm, Stockholm University
