Nothing Official did this film of the opening of the new Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College. Check out her full blog on blip.tv

In 1969 Gene Youngblood wrote a book called expanded cinema. The cinematic experience has influenced all our lives. The meta-narrative of film has become our collective mythos.
