Chicago Area Videomakers Coalition (film #12 on Media Burn Archive). [Category: Sleaze and Outsider]

This is a clip from sample tape made during the 70s showing the work of a group of Chicago-area independent filmmakers. One segment shows an interview with some panhandlers in San Francisco, and the second segment is from a film made by two 8-year-old African-American girls about the older sister of one of them. Both look like fascinating outsider films––I wish the whole films were available.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
