Skip Blumberg shoots a party that is celebrating the release of Dierdre Boyle's new book, "Guerrilla Television Revisited." We talk to the old friends, like Ira Schneider and Parry Teasdale. Other New School University faculty are there, including Paul Ryan and Sumita Chakravarty. We hear about video people who could not attend, like Nam June Paik, who was currently recovering from a stroke, and Nancy Cain. When Skip hands off the camera to give a toast, the person who takes it is chastised for looking through the viewfinder.
Good footage of Skip talking to himself – he makes up a song about how he loves New York, “The question is whether I’m going to run out of tape, batteries of interesting things to shoot first”, shows us a doorway to a restaurant that is supposed to look like a Paik piece.
