ANARCHIST FILM:

DOCUMENTS ON GUY DEBORD'S FILMS:

Ken Knabb, the human behind the Bureau of Public Secrets, an online collection of material on situationism, has just added several documents on the films of Guy Debord, one of the movers and shakers behind the SI. See the following list. Ken Knabb has also translated Guy Debord's 'Complete Cimatic Works' (see http://www.bopsecrets.org/cat.htm or order from AK Press ). Still more info on Debord can be found at Guy Debord Cineaste, and at the LibCom online Guy Debord Archive (for his written works), as well as at the Situationist International Online site. Knabb's BOP site has excerpts from his films as well as the latest information on the films themselves. You can also see downloadable samples from his films at http://www.ubu.com/film/debord.html . For a complete DVD set of the films (in French) see Gaumont (cost about 50 Euros). On to the list...
