Prof. Alex Denison in Film Quarterly
Prof. Alex Denison’s review on Michael Zryd’s new book Hollis Frampton: Navigating the Infinite Cinema was published in the Winter 2024 Issue of Film Quarterly. See below an extract from Prof. Denison’s review.
“Hollis Frampton is one of the most recognizable names in American avant-garde cinema. Yet, despite the abundance of literature on Frampton’s life and work, there has not been a full-length survey on the filmmaker until Michael Zryd’s Hollis Frampton: Navigating the Infinite Cinema. Zryd attends not only to Frampton’s films but also to his theoretical writings, lectures, and personal correspondence. The book, however, is not a linear biography or chronological history of the filmmaker. Zryd is interested above all in the final project that preoccupied Frampton for over a decade before his untimely death at the age of forty-eight.”
