Active from the early 1960s until his untimely death in 1984, Frampton's films are celebrated for their intellectual rigor and innovative exploration of film form. One of his standout works, "Notes on the Buffalo Conference: 'Autobiography in American Independent Cinema'" (1973), is particularly sought after by collectors for its insightful commentary on the evolution of independent filmmaking in America.

Collectors hunt for his works to understand the experimental roots of modern cinema and to own a piece of a legacy that continues to shape artistic expression.
