Bruce Conner: The Art of Montage
"Beginning with his groundbreaking found-footage masterpiece A MOVIE, the films of San-Francisco-based artist Bruce Conner (1933-2008) have marked a radical intervention into the language of filmmaking. Often referred to as the "father of found footage film" and the "father of MTV music videos," Conner paired his trademark rapid-fire editing style with a broad spectrum of music from R&B, gospel, classical, pop and punk, to minimalist compositions. His pioneering body of work continues to exert a broad and lasting influence on both mainstream and avant-garde film culture."
