Interesting publication, this Triple Canopy. Among the offerings in the second issue are Brush, a "video melodrama in six parts" by Keren Cytter, and Victory Over the Sun, by Michael Robinson, introduced by Thomas Beard, who writes: "Refiguring the romanticism of epochs past, his film elicits sober reflection on their radical aspirations while offering ecstatic glimpses of 16 mm’s continued (if endangered) capacity for fresh pleasures of texture and tone. Robinson affirms a notion that filmmaker Peggy Ahwesh once suggested (quoting Napoleon): 'The purpose of the avant-garde is not to advance, but to maneuver.'"
