The exchange between friends begins with his early years of activism and involvement in the Newsreel Collective, considers essential films like Ice (1969) and Milestones (1975), and traces Kramer's shift toward Europe and his move to France in the late 1970s. Moving back and forth between Europe, the United States, Portugal, and Vietnam, Kramer was always able to work and make films like Doc's Kingdom (1987), Route One\/USA (1989), and Starting Place (1993). He died in 1999. The conversation was published in French in 2001 under the title Points de départ. More than 20 years later, Starting Places: A Conversation with Robert Kramer makes this illuminating account of a \"mid-Atlantic\" filmmaker available in its original language for the first time. The book is complemented by three of Kramer's essays from the 1980s and 1990s as well as an updated bibliography and filmography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBernard Eisenschitz in collaboration with Roberto Turigliatto\u003cbr\u003eedited by Volker Pantenburg\u003cbr\u003eFilmmuseumSynemaPublikationen Vol. 37\u003cbr\u003eVienna 2024, 224 pages, in English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-3-901644-95-5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eStarting Places—25 Years Later.
