ODD COUPLESFROM THE HISTORY OF CINEMABy P. Adams SitneyA new collection of essays from P. Adams Sitney, author of Visionary Film, an important and influential early study of American experimental cinema. P. Adams Sitney explores incongruous pairings of films, such as Day of Wrath and Smiles of a Summer Night, Bringing Up Baby and There’s Something About Mary, Rashomon and M. Hulot’s Holiday and Marnie and The Red Desert. Sitney also considers some of the American avant garde filmmakers (such as Jonas Mekas, Stan Brakhage, George Landow and Marjorie Keller), and looks back on his career in teaching and studying films. P. Adams Sitney is Professor of Visual Arts at Princeton University. He previously taught at the Cooper Union, Chicago’s Art Institute, and New York University. He co-founded the Anthology Film Archives in New York in 1970. Sitney was an important teacher of cinema studies at Princeton and elsewhere. David James (University of Southern California) dubs Sitney ’the dean of American film historiography’. In 2008, P. Adams Sitney received the Logos-Siegfried Kracauer Award from Anthology Film Archives. He was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2010. In 2011 he was awarded the Anna-Maria Kellen Berlin Prize from the American Academy in Berlin. He was admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011. P. Adams Sitney’s books include: Visionary Film: The American Avant-Garde, 1943-2000, Vital Crises In Italian Cinema, Eyes Upside Down: Visionary Filmmakers and the Heritage of Emerson, The Cinema of Poetry, and Modernist Montage: The Obscurity of Vision In Cinema and LIterature.
