Description
Double Vision: A lavishly illustrated biography and criticism of American avant-garde filmmaker Robert Beavers. Robert Beavers is one of today's most significant living filmmakers, yet his dramatic life of itinerancy has obscured his recognition. This beautifully written work sheds light on Beavers's unique cinematic language, which fuses spiritual aims with cultural critique and explores nonoptical seeing-awareness through his films. Richly illustrated with compelling film stills, many never before seen, Double Vision celebrates Beavers's singular achievement and promises to make him known to all who have not yet encountered his work.
