(Women Art Revolution) Collection. 3. California Institute of the Arts Moving Image Archive: filmed and videotaped lectures by art, film, music, theatre, and dance faculty, including documentation of "Womanhouse." 4.Filmforum: video oral histories of filmmakers and artists involved with the L.A. experimental film scene from 1975-2000. 5.
