Cowboy and "Indian" Film
Synopsis
The same year that Bruce Conner completed his famed A Movie, Montañez Ortiz destroyed a 16mm print of a banal Western, Winchester '73, with a tomahawk. He then placed the scraps of film in a medicine bag "to release the evil," intoned a ritual chant he had learned from his Yaqui grandfather, and spliced together the exorcised fragments in a random order.
