"In a career spanning five decades, Robert Beavers has distinguished himself as one of the most important American avant-garde filmmakers ... This volume contains critical investigations of Beavers's most important films and a collection of the filmmaker's own writings. Occupying a unique space between poetry and philosophy, his aphoristic meditations vivify his own work and generously illuminate the art of film"--Back cover.
