乔治·兰道

George Landow [Owen Land]是20世纪60年代晚期至20世纪70年代早期的实验电影布景的关键人物之一。他的作品在此时期在主要的国际影院和电影节中常被展放出来，并被写进有影响力的艺术刊物和开创性电影的参考书，如P. Adams Sitney的“幻想电影”。和Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton, Paul Sharits一起，他成为被景仰的人物，作为那一代的最原始的电影制作者和一名反自我制片的先驱。Land的电影通过文字游戏和视觉模糊，质疑了电影的幻觉天性。Land常拙劣地模仿实验电影本身，他使用现有的电影胶片，文本，副本和当时美国艺术关键时期进化的循环导轨概念艺术的习惯。崇敬由14段影片组成，包括后来被校订和提取的早期的格式化的作品。由维也纳謘terreichisches电影院保存和回顾。这些电影质朴的新印刷品形式展示。此次旋转的回顾之前在伦敦TATE现代艺术馆，巴黎棚皮度艺术中心，维也纳奥地利电影院和鹿特丹电影节中展示。

乔治·兰道（George Landow）的《显现片孔、旁字和尘土的电影》（Film in Which There Appear Sprocket Holes, Edge Lettering, Dirt Particles, Etc., 1966），采用一条呈现一名女子脸庞的测试片段，复制之后使得四个镜头填满整个画格，然后将结果循环展现，是以在连接的拷贝中，胶片上堆积了刮痕和尘土。

TWO FILMS BY OWEN LAND features the illustrated scripts to the films Wide Angle Saxon and On the Marriage Broker Joke, complete with detailed footnotes that untangle their elaborate web of references. Reaching far beyond the two films alluded to in the title, it also includes a new interview, annotated filmography and recent essays by the artist.

"Two Films by Owen Land is much more than the texts of Wide Angle Saxon and On the Marriage Broker Joke, the two most complex films of Owen Land (aka George Landow). Mark Webber has scrupulously edited the first book on this major filmmaker, judiciously allowing Land's own words - his texts, his essays, hilarious annotations, and an interview - to reveal the depth and intensity of his engagement with cinema and other avant-garde film-makers. It is a very funny book: Land admits he has a been "converted more times than Uncle Ben's Rice," or speculated that Freud "would have bombed in Las Vegas" with the jokes in his book on Wit. The filmography alone constitutes a major contribution to the field." (P. Adams Sitney, author of Visionary Film)
