NACG developed in New York in the 1960s around major figures such as Stan Brakhage, Robert Breer, Bruce Conner, Jonas and Adolfas Mekas, Marie Menken and Stan VanDerBeek. Opposed to Hollywood standards and aligned with the literary, theatre and art movements of the counterculture, the group produced low-budget short and full-length films featuring controversial and disruptive content. |
