The instruction manual: |
Bibliographic code: Section K1
|
Section K1 includes films that are based on, influenced by, or otherwise directly related to Ashbery or his work. Section K1 also includes works created for television or radio, and animations. These works may involve creative manipulation of film footage of Ashbery, the use of passages from his work, a character named "John Ashbery," etc.
Interviews with Ashbery that have been filmed are in Section H; filmed readings or lectures by Ashbery are in Section J3; Ashbery's own performances in films are in Section J5; and theatrical / stage interpretations of Ashbery's work are in Section K4.
Although Section K1 items are generally documented in the ARC archive by secondary materials such as reviews and announcements, rather than by the films themselves, each citation is written for the cinematic work itself. The title of the film is listed in the title and publication fields, the director and/or screenwriter is listed in the author and author/editor fields, and the date of the film's creation or original release is listed in the date of publication field. All information about the secondary materials that document these films is given in the notes field.
