Loop Collective, 1996-2013

 Loop Collective, 1996-2013, by Kelly Egan, Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof and others, 2013
Introductions by R.Bruce Elder and Kathy Elder. 

Part critique, part biography, part history, part artist statement, part manifesto, this book is a nice starting point to introduce one to this group and even, in a way, to lead others to the brave/foolish/necessary path of creating a mad little collective of their own 

Page 1. Mission statement. Concern with dialogue between film and other arts. 
Page 7, History of begining of group, reference to teh 1989 "notorious experimental film congress which shattered teh already tiny community of experimental filmmakers".
Page 8, Susan Oxtoby adn Independents Series in 1995.
Page 9-10, Group finally gels at Allan Ginsberg reading and reception they entered with Bruce Elder's ticket.
Page 80, Enka Loio poetic comparison of film to a book.
