Chuck Workman [Calliope Films; 2010] An accessible documentary about movies that are anything but, Chuck Workman’s Visionaries, scans 70-odd years of American avant-garde cinema. “I felt in order to really understand what experimental cinema is, you should just go back and show a little history,” Workman explained over the phone from Los Angeles. “There are people that know Bergman and Fellini and Tarkovsky pretty well, but don’t have the faintest idea of who these people are.” He’s referring to pioneers like Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage, Kenneth Anger, Robert Downey, Sr.—and, perhaps above all, Jonas Mekas, the Lithuanian-born grandfather of this country’s experimental cinema.
