One rather obvious reason the animators Gene mentions are probably
not being shown is that they are US makers (or with Nelson someone
who has done much work in the US) and they probably do not have
prints readily available in the UK. This raises an important cross-
national question about the "canon" of work. Most US folks
interested in experimental film have seen very little work from the
UK, from Latin America, from Germany and Austria, Japan, and so forth
(even Canada). Those works which are known and easily available in
the US tend to be from people who lived in, worked in, or frequently
visited the US, such as Kubelka, Michael Snow, etc. To turn the
tables, how many of the works being shown at Hull are easily
available for a US program or classroom?
