Captured : a Lower East Side film & video history

"New York's Lower East Side has been a fountain of creativity and art since the turn of the century starting with the Yiddish Theater, a free-wheeling bazaar of ideas and artists that has challenged and shaped mainstream culture. Captured tells the story of film and video in the Lower East Side and the East Village in the artists' own words. Part formal history and part inspirational text, Captured serves to remind people on the outside looking in how often their contributions form the invisible pillars of American art and popular life."--Jacket.
