Views from the Avant-Garde (NYFF 2010)

All’interno della 48esima edizione del New York Film Festival 2010 (24 settembre – 10 ottobre) si è tenuto il 14th Views from the Avant-Garde (30 settembre – 3 ottobre) presso il Walter Reade Theater (165 W. 65 St.), sezione dedicata al cinema sperimentale e all’avanguardia curata da Mark McElhatten & Gavin Smith.
Un programma folle e fiammeggiante composto da 18 menù’ di 76 fra video e film, e due live performances. 24 ore di immagini in movimento: una selezione ricca di recuperi del passato prossimo e di opere cult.

Questo il programma sparato sugli occhi degli spettatori presenti in sala, fra c’era Ben Russell (una delle sue opere "Trypps #7 – Badlands" era presente nella selezione), che ne ha dato conto per MUBI.com (The Auteurs) attraverso 45 scatti che riportiamo in coda a questo articolo:
