简介：一战以前，影院的的艺术家和诗人往往都是激进分子，他们热衷于拍电影并把这种艺术形式向新的方向发展，他们被排除在艺术领域和电影工厂之外，像是被困在一座孤岛上，他们大胆的创造出自己的电影世界并拥有一个自己的工作网络，并作出了不可估量且有力的贡献
This feature-length documentary provides a vivid, eye-opening, and appropriately personal introduction to one of the most important, yet perpetually marginalized, realms of filmmaking: avant-garde cinema.
Achieving the near-impossible task of doing justice in a mere 82 minutes to this incredibly rich, varied, and expansive domain, FREE RADICALS is as expertly constructed an introduction to the topic as one could hope for, thanks in large part to the films privileging of rare interviews with some of the most important filmmakers in the avant-garde tradition (including Jonas Mekas, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Hans Richter), and its inclusion of several films in their entirety. The film's sincere admiration for its subject is best reflected by Chodorov's own description: "I wanted to share a few of the films I love and introduce you to some of the free, radical artists who made them."
