INTERVIEW - The Radical Cinema of Robert Kramer, with Whitney Strub Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

In the late 1960s, when a wave of revolutionary fervor swept the globe, many international filmmakers asked what role cinema could play in activating social and political change. In America, that filmmaker was Robert Kramer. But though his films like ICE (1970) and MILESTONES (1975) are key documents of their time, he has largely been excluded from American film history. On this interview episode, Will talks to Whitney Strub about his new book "Films That Explode like Grenades: Robert Kramer and the Search for a Radical Cinema."
