Nowhere Films in the Scheme of Things http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/nowhere.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm3.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm4.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm5.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm6.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/canyonfilm7.jpg From the Canyon Cinema catalog, 1992: almost my entire filmwork to that date. The films ended up at Filmmakers Coop in NY, where they sit and rot. So the catalog represents better days of course; the descriptions give you an idea of what's there. One of them at least was shown at MOMA years ago; the others - I have no idea. They're safe but I worry that the splices might have given out, and the mag-stripe soundtracks on some of them might have flaked or printed-through; there's also the issue of warping. So they're becoming unknown artifacts. At one point they were shown, most often at Millennium in NYC; they were shown elsewhere of course, when I was actively promoting them; however I never made the canon. The earliest is from 1969-72. They're going fast I think. canyonfilm1.jpg 2007-04-22 20:57 572K canyonfilm2.jpg 2007-04-22 20:57 775K canyonfilm3.jpg 2007-04-22 20:57 597K canyonfilm4.jpg 2007-04-22 20:58 729K canyonfilm5.jpg 2007-04-22 20:58 688K canyonfilm6.jpg 2007-04-22 20:58 694K canyonfilm7.jpg 2007-04-22 20:58 284K
