Drawing from extensive conversations with men and women crucial to Canyon Cinema, from its newsletter Canyon Cinema news, and from other key sources, MacDonald offers a lively chronicle of the life and times of this influential, idiosyncratic film exhibition and distribution collective. His book features many primary documents that are as engaging and relevant now as they were when originally published, including essays, poetry, experimental writing, and drawings. 606 $aIndependent films$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndependent films 676 $a384/.80973 700 $aMacDonald$b Scott$f1942-$0835457 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456821503321 996 $aCanyon Cinema$91867370 997 $aUNINA
