P. Adams Sitney

An historical and analytical study of American avant-garde films and the leading filmmakers in this genre

The American Avant-garde

Visionary Film

Professor of Visual Studies P Adams Sitney

Sarah Sammis

Critics hailed previous editions of Visionary Film as the most complete work written on the exciting, often puzzling, and always controversial genre of American avant-garde film. This book has remained the standard text on American avant-garde film since the publication of its first edition in 1974. Now P. Adams Sitney has once again revised and updated this classic work, restoring a chapter on the films of Gregory J. Markopoulos and bringing his discussion of the principal genres and major filmmakers up to the year 2000.
