So What, or How to Make Films with Words - Duttmann, Alexander Garcia

Images, whether filmic or not, cannot be replaced by words. Yet words can make images. This is the general thesis underlying So What, a collection of essays on canonical filmmakers such as Luchino Visconti and Orson Welles; experimental directors such as Marguerite Duras; and visual artists, including Hollis Frampton and Agnes Martin.
