UNDERGROUND NEW YORK<\/strong> In the 1960s, filmmakers investigated new forms of production in dialogue with radical shifts in art, music, performance and popular culture. Following the example of the Beats, the counterculture was alive with protest, freedom of expression and the breaking of taboos, and from the Film-Makers\u2019 Coop to Andy Warhol\u2019s Factory, portable 16mm cameras were bringing a whole new way of seeing to the cinema screen. These heady days of \u201cunderground film\u201d were captured by Gideon Bachmann in a spirited broadcast for German television. Rarely seen today, it is one of the few surviving documents to show aspects of New York\u2019s independent film culture during this exhilarating period.<\/p>\n UNDERGROUND NEW YORK (PROTEST WOF\u00dcR) Presented by Mark Webber, the Gershwin\u2019s outgoing artist in residence, who is currently researching an oral history of avant-garde cinema from the 1950s through the 1970s.

\n New York Gershwin Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nGideon Bachmann, 1967, black & white, sound, 51 minutes
\n<\/strong>Shirley Clarke grows carrots on top of the Chelsea Hotel and meets Jonas Mekas and Michelangelo Antonioni at the Film-Makers\u2019 Distribution Center. Allen Ginsberg, Susan Sontag and Tuli Kupferberg protest for peace and are apparently shipped off to the Department of Correction. USCO freak out in their intermedia church and Maurice Amar stages a happening at the Movie Subscription Group. Gideon Bachmann goes on location with Adolfas Mekas in New Jersey, George Kuchar in the Bronx, and Carl Linder in his bedroom. Bruce Conner dances in a diner, and Andy Warhol fakes it for television.<\/p>\n
