Title: Film Culture N. 47 Summer 1969.
Description: (New York: Film Culture Non-Profit Corporation), 1969. 1969. - Quarto [approximately 11 inches high by 8-3/8 inches wide], softcover. Printed self-wrappers. 48 pages plus 8 pages of black-and-white illustrations. The edges of the wraps are slightly darkened & there is a small stain to each wrap. Very good.

Leading off this issue is the nearly 9-page long landmark essay by P. Adams Sitney describing "Structural film", a term he coined. Sitney identified the formal characteristics common in Structural films as fixed camera position, flicker effect, and loop printing ("the immediate repition of shots"). Among the other contents of this issue are interviews with George Landow and Bruce Baillie. There are articles on Stan Brakhage's "Mothlight with verse by Robert Creeley, on Rossellini's "The Rise to Power of Louis XIV" by Ken Kelman and on World War Two and American film by Lewis Jacobs. There is also an article by Tom Chomont on "Eros, O Basileus", a film by Markopoulos. Very good .
