MARKOPOULOS\/BEAVERS: FILM AS FILM<\/strong> Gregory Markopoulos\u2019 status as a leading figure of avant-garde cinema was affirmed by Twice a Man<\/em>. This homoerotic adaptation of the myth of Hippolytus, set in 1960s New York, employs a radical editing style that integrates single-frame \u2018though-images\u2019 within its larger narrative. Five years later, Markopoulos and his partner Robert Beavers, left the US for Europe to pursue filmmaking in relative isolation. Beavers established a regular practice of filming in order to explore the potential of the 16mm camera. Early Monthly Segments<\/em> is the result of this experimentation \u2013 an exhilarating process of discovery that also documents the daily lives of both filmmakers. By the 1980s, Markopoulos had begun to regard the Greek landscape as the ideal environment in which his work should be viewed. Dani\u00ebl Singelenberg\u2019s Temenos<\/em> is a rare document of one of the annual presentations of \u2018film as film\u2019 at a remote site in the Arcadian countryside.<\/p>\n
