    "Chick Strand's Recollections of Canyon Cinema's Early Beginnings with Added Commentary from Chick Callenbach." Transcribed conversation between Chick Strand and Ernest (Chick) Callenbach, Gunvor Nelson and Diane [Kitchen?]. Date unknown. Mildred "Chick" Strand (December 3, 1931 - July 11, 2009) was an experimental filmmaker who contributed to the movement of women's experimental cinema in the early 1960s-1970s. Chick Strand studied anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, and in the early 1960s organized film happenings with Bruce Baillie. In 1961, Strand established the Canyon CinemaNews, a monthly filmmakers' journal which became a focal point for the West Coast independent film movement and a precursor to the filmmakers' collective called Canyon Cinema founded by others, including Baillie, in 1967.
