Film Quarterly (Summer 1966) [cover: Buster Keaton]

Berkeley CA: University of California Press. Very Good. 1966. (Vol. XIX, No. 4). Periodical. [a bit of wear along spine and edges, some creasing to rear cover, light external soiling] (B&W photographs) The primary features of this issue are interviews with Buster Keaton (by Arthur B. Friedman) and Richard Lester (by George Bluestone); Keaton's recent death is acknowledged in a brief editor's note, as is that of Hedda Hopper -- the former lauded as "a great creator [whose] films will live when all of us too are dead," the latter excoriated for "the provincial puritan vulgarity, the rapacity and disdain of genuine creativity, which were her special contribution to the American film world." Other articles include: a special feature on 8mm filmmaking (articles by Ernest Callenbach and Ralph Sargent); "The Dynamic Gesture: the New American Independents" by Albert Johnson; "Experimenting with Freedom in Mexico" by Vivian Lash; and "Red, Blue, Godard" by Paul J. Sharits (an analysis of Godard's use of color in his films). .
