Synopsis:

A documentary film by Pip Chodorov on the history of experimental film. Includes a 56 page book on the film. Touching and personal, this documentary will serve as a guide for all those who are touched by the desire to plunge into this era, taking them for a journey. The 'free radicals' of the title are artists that, beginning in the 1920's and through the 1970's, have pushed cinema toward experimental visual poetry. [...] The film pays worthy homage to this fringe of cin- ema, too often reduced to a hermetic citadel rather than a space open to the winds, where chance, a do-it-yourself ethic, and humor have often played a large role.
