In conversation: P. Adams Sitney and Ulrich Gregor

P. Adams Sitney is currently a guest of the American Academy in Berlin. The expert on European and American avant-garde cinema published his legendary book, Visionary Film, in 1974. He was co-founder of the Anthology Film Archives and a member of the selection committee of the Essential Cinema Collection founded in 1970. He will discuss with Ulrich Gregor, film historian and co-founder of Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek (today's Arsenal). Both will present short films and talk about the founding years of two seminal film institutions in New York and Berlin, both dedicated to independent cinema. (March 14)
