Great article. I didn’t know Gehr has moved from San Francisco to New York. Do you know if there’s any book about his films? It is strange that most of the called structuralist filmmakers as Snow or Frampton have some books released about their works. Besides the interview in A Critical Cinema 5 by Scott MacDonald and the Fred Camper reviews is there any other stuff?

great story, about gehr making art from his alienated labor. the view from my cubicle is somewhat less scenic, alas. a nice glimpse into the world of NYC cinephilia, too. thanks.
