Hi all,
We screened a print in 1998 at a Shirley Clarke retrospective, assembled
with her daughter Wendy Clarke, and presented at the UCLA Film & TV Archive
and at KAOS in Los Angeles.
Portrait of Jason screened at UCLA. Which doesn't answer the question of
where the print came from, but I can check. My guess would be either the
UCLA Archive or MOMA. If the former, it probably is available only to other
archives, but I have to check.
Best regards,
Adam Hyman
