Summary

"This feature length documentary provides a vivid, eye-opening, and appropriately personal introduction to one of the most important, yet perpetually marginalized, realms of filmmaking: avant-garde cinema. Thanks in large part to the film's privileging of rare interviews with some of the most important filmmakers in the avant-garde tradition (including Jonas Mekas, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Hans Richter) and its inclusion of several films in their entriety Free Radicals : a History of Experimental Films is as expertly constructed an introduction to the topic as one could hope for"--Container.
