American Avant-Garde Film

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

From 1947 to 1986 a whole new generation of filmmakers began experimenting with cinema. Some of the films from that period have just been released in a new DVD box set called "Treasures IV: American Avant-Garde Film 1947-1986." We’ll be joined by Jeff Lambert, assistant director of the National Film Preservation Foundation and by Andy Lampert of the Anthology Film Archives.
