  1. Dear Brainard Carey, Just listened and appreciated our talk. Flo tells me we had a problem with each other afterwards which I cannot recall. Truly sorry about that.

    Getting absurdly old, 88, but still making new cinema. A 2 Blu-ray set of works came out yesterday from Kino-Lorber, a book of my (unintended for publishing) writings coming out any day now from the UK. And if you can make it, I have shows tomorrow August 1 at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens and at MoMA on the 5th.

    Let’s not remind ourselves how or what teed us off. Ken and Flo
