This is the inspiring story of The Flaherty, one of the oldest
continuously running nonprofit media arts institutions in the
world, which has shaped the development of independent film, video,
and emerging forms in the United States over the past 60 years.
Combining the words of legendary independent filmmakers with a
detailed history of The Flaherty, Patricia R. Zimmermann and Scott
MacDonald showcase its history and legacy, amply demonstrating how
the relationships created at the annual Flaherty seminar have been
instrumental in transforming American media history. Moving through
the decades, each chapter opens with a detailed history of the
organization by Zimmermann, who traces the evolution of The
Flaherty from a private gathering of filmmakers to a small annual
convening, to today's ever-growing nexus of filmmakers, scholars,
librarians, producers, funders, distributors, and others associated
with international independent cinema. MacDonald expands each
chapter by giving voice to the major figures in the evolution of
independent media through transcriptions of key discussions
galvanized by films shown at The Flaherty. The discussions feature
Frances Flaherty, Robert Gardner, Fred Wiseman, Willard Van Dyke,
Jim McBride, Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton, Erik Barnouw, Barbara
Kopple, Ed Pincus, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Bruce Conner, Peter Watkins,
Su Friedrich, Marlon Riggs, William Greaves, Ken Jacobs, Kazuo
Hara, Mani Kaul, Craig Baldwin, Bahman Ghobadi, Eyal Sivan, and
many others.
