Description
Deathtripping Underground Trash Cinema by Jack Sargeant is an in-depth study of the New York filmmakers who responded to Nick Zedd's radical manifesto. This comprehensive analysis places their work within the broader alternative film and downtown post-punk scenes, exploring seminal influences such as the Kuchar brothers, Jack Smith, and Andy Warhol. The book delves into the films of this movement, alongside interviews with key figures including Richard Kern, Beth B, Joe Coleman, Lydia Lunch, Tommy Turner, and Nick Zedd. A detailed history of underground and trash cinema is also examined, providing a rich understanding of this pivotal moment in film culture. By examining the work of these filmmakers and their collaborators, Sargeant sheds light on the creative forces that shaped the alternative film scene of the late 20th century.
