Wavelength
First screened in December 2012
Director: Michael Snow. Cast: Lyne Grosman, Hollis Frampton, Naoto Nakazawa, Amy Taubin, Joyce Wieland, Roswell Rudd. Screenplay: Michael Snow.

Twitter Capsule: Conceptually provocative, incalculably influential, but quite stingy as self-conscious distillation of "what cinema is."

VOR:   Influence impossible to overstate for fellow underground filmmakers or for more commercial artists who absorbed this in school.
