At GreenCine Daily, Michael Sicinski discusses the The 10th annual Views from the Avant-Garde presentation of the New York Film Festival.
A brief quote:
"The 10th annual Views from the Avant-Garde … succeeds year after year in cutting a wide swath through the experimental film and video world, and not just because its typical two-day screening schedule allows for a quick, intensive fix of new, often hard-to-see material. … The main attraction is an abiding faith in the event’s curators, avant-garde programmer Mark McElhatten and Film Comment editor Gavin Smith, to assemble an instructive, impressive cross-section of experimental filmmaking now, not only a representative sample but also a complex, multi-layered art event. In this regard, Views 2006 didn’t disappoint. … [I]t wasn’t difficult to find stark beauty, conceptual rigor, and/or vibrant challenges to conventional perception in this year’s programs."
