“The most impressive avant-garde film-maker of the 1970s was George Landow (a.k.a. Owen Land). Since 1969, when he released Institutional Quality and thereby found a place for his astonishing verbal wit in his cinema, he has produced a coherent body of aggressively original films and has asserted, through those films, a unique position in opposition to the very genre in which he works.” — P. Adams Sitney
