Film
and Video Documentation
This
page features video excerpts from Jud Yalkut's
rare film and video documentation of the 4th and 7th Annual
Avant Garde Festivals in 1966 and 1969, respectively. The
4th festival was held in Central Park and the 7th was held
on Wards and Mill Rock Islands in the East River. These excerpts
capture the experimental, multidisciplinary spirit of the
festivals. Jud Yalkut participated in seminal moments of underground
film and video art, and was the resident filmmaker for USCO,
a countercultural collective, in the 1960s. Further information
of these works by Yalkut can be found in EAI's Online Catalogue. Click on the appropriate links to play
