New videos

posted on - July 31, 2020

I watched a few of the videos we have recently acquired, particularly the documentaries on artists, and I’d like to recommend a few.

Barbara Rubin and the Exploding NY Underground is about a young filmmaker on the underground film scene in New York in the 1960s, inspiring and making connections among other artists like Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, the Velvet Underground, and (one of my heroes) Jonas Mekas. I really enjoyed it.

Lifeline: Clyfford Still is a PBS-style documentary on the Canadian-American abstract expressionist painter. There was a PBS documentary about Still’s contemporary Mark Rothko earlier this year.

I am pretty sure Toni Morrison: The PIeces I Am aired on PBS too. We have it on DVD.

I have not watched the documentary on Ursula K. Le Guin yet, but I read good things about it. The Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin
