Sitney analyzes in detail the work of eleven American avant-garde
filmmakers as heirs to the aesthetics of exhilaration and
innovative vision articulated by Ralph Waldo Emerson and explored
by John Cage and Gertrude Stein. The films discussed span the sixty
years since the Second World War. With three chapters each devoted
to Stan Brakhage and Robert Beavers, two each to Hollis Frampton
and Jonas Mekas, and single chapters on Marie Menken, Ian Hugo,
Andrew Noren, Warren Sonbert, Su Friedrich, Ernie Gehr, and Abigail
Child, Eyes Upside Down is the fruit of Sitney's lifelong study of
visionary aspirations of the American avant-garde cinema. Sitney's
earlier book and critical essays defined the field of serious
criticism of the American film avant-garde. He supplies a unique
approach, critical, formal and intellectual, rather than
sociological, ideological or institutional. Like his earlier book,
Eyes Upside Down is a dense, sustained blast of convincing
criticism which unfolds through a compelling personal vision. It
makes a serious contribution to cinema studies and it is sure to
remain in circulation for many years to come.
