FLUXFILM ANTHOLOGY 1963-1966
Complete Long Version
Fluxus was a term coined by George Maciunas in 1961 for an iconoclastic and disruptive approach to all media that brought many artists to public attention for the first time. Film was always at the heart of Fluxus plans, both as strips and as projections, but the original programs have previously been available only in drastically reduced versions. The Cinematheque is pleased to present the earliest known (1966) assemblage of Fluxus films by Muciunas, made possible through the generosity of historian Jon Hendricks, the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection (Detroit), and the Museum of Modern Art (NYC). Among the twenty-five pieces by Nam Jun Paik, Yoko Ono, Maciunas, John Cale, Paul Sharits, and others.
