Bibliography

“R. Bruce Elder is not only one of Canada’s foremost experimental filmmakers, he is one of our greatest artists, thinkers, critics, and filmmakers, period. . . . In a country noticeably quiet about our manifestoes, Elder has made quite a stir over the years with his dizzying epic and provocative output, in film and in print. His incomparable interrogations of history (and its follies) have spawned the colossal THE BOOK OF ALL THE DEAD (1975–1994), a forty-two-hour film cycle spanning eighteen years in the making that secured his international reputation. He has since maintained a prolific pace through his seemingly inexhaustible passion for writing, filmmaking, and teaching—one that continues to inform the independent filmmaking scene in Canada” (Andréa Picard, for Cinematheque Ontario)
