Anthology Film Archives,  probably experimental cinema's greatest defender and propagandist, and author of works such as The brig or Walden,  has announced his new projects.

Still fresh his new film Letters from Greenpoint, he's planning an ambitious project for next month: 365 videos, 3 to 5 minutes long, for Apple's Ipod (!), which he will release daily, starting next September 15th. Plus, he'll be the curator of a downloadable series of films, which will feature classic experimental shorts by Hans Richter, Marie Menken, Harry Smith and Robert Breer among others, and videos by fillmakers such as Martin Scorsese, John Waters, Jim Jarmusch and Abel Ferrara.
