Stephen Dwoskin (1939-2012) became known through a series of short films in the underground scenes of New York and London in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dwoskin worked on several feature films, ranging from fiction to documentary portrait, essay film, and autobiography. Stricken with polio in his childhood, several of his films, including Behindert (1974), reflect his experience with disability. The author of around thirty experimental films with autobiographical inspiration, Dwoskin is known for his filmed diary. He also worked with artists Carolee Schneemann, Jenny Runacre, Carola Regnier, Cosey Fanni Tutti, and Beatrice "Trixie" Cordua, and had a long collaboration with composer Gavin Bryars. In the 2000s, Dwoskin returned to the underground, adopting new digital technology for the freedom it offered him, culminating in Age Is... (2012), his last film presented posthumously.
Between February and June 1991, filmmakers Robert Kramer and Stephen Dwoskin exchanged several video letters (four by Kramer, three by Dwoskin) shot in Hi-8. These _Videoletters_ freed them from the formalities that burdened their work and reflections at the time. Through this exchange, they began to learn and observe anew.
