"Celebrated West Coast filmmaker Chick Strand (1931-2009) passed away this past summer, leaving behind a body of sensual and smart work significant for its exploration of the space between documentary and poetry, truth and fiction, and the politics and pleasure of representation. A key figure in the development of the American independent and avant-garde filmmaking movements, she helped co-found the seminal film exhibition and distribution collective Canyon Cinema in the mid-1960s. She began her own filmmaking career at the age of 34, combining a background in photographic collage and academic training in anthropology into a series of poetic documentaries shot in Mexico while an ethnography student at UCLA. "Ethnographic films" Strand once wrote, "should be works of art, symphonies about the fabric of a people."--Amy Beste, School of the Art Institute of Chicago
