So, 'Metamedia' is this fascinating snapshot of the avant-garde scene from 1966 to 1970, capturing raw energy and creativity. It features a smorgasbord of performances and events – like Timothy Leary at the Village Theatre and Kusama's work at Cooper Square. The pacing feels erratic, almost like a collage, which reflects the chaotic spirit of the time. It’s a tapestry of experiences that digs into the interplay of film and other media, making it distinct. The practical effects and performances are all about pushing boundaries, and you really get a sense of the avant-garde ethos just oozing from every frame.
This film is somewhat elusive in terms of availability; it often pops up at niche screenings or specialized collections. It’s worth noting that the original format has become quite scarce, which heightens collector interest, especially among those drawn to avant-garde cinema. Many collectors find it compelling not just for its content but also for the way it embodies the experimental spirit of the era.
