Description

A lavishly illustrated inside account of one of avant-garde film’s most original outsiders, the filmmaker Robert Beavers.

Double Vision is a beautifully written work of biography and criticism that tells the inside story of Robert Beavers (b. 1949), a major American avant-garde filmmaker. Until now, Beavers’s dramatic life of itinerant self-imposed exile and resistance to commercial circulation has obscured his recognition as one of today’s most significant living filmmakers. In Double Vision, Rebekah Rutkoff—the first scholar to have full access to Beavers’s writing archive—pulls back the curtain to shed light on this deeply original underground figure and reveal the way Beavers’s films explore non-optical seeing—awareness itself—as an outcome of cinematic sight.
