Title from container. Includes booklet in English and French, with biography of Vanderbeek and descriptions of his films. "From early collage animation created in the spirit of the surreal and dadaist work of Max Ernst, but with a wild, rough informality more akin to the expressionism of the Beat Generation ..., to utopian experiments in expanded cinema, building a dome theatre with dozens of projectors or creating computer animated films and holographic experiments with Bell labs, Vanderbeek was a visionary well before his time. In the 1970s he designed global fax murals, steam projections and interactive television programs."--Container. Bonus: Vanderbeekiana (1968, 28 min.), a portrait of Stan Vanderbeek at home and in his MovieDrome, directed by Nick Havinga and written by Stephan Chodorov.
