Hollis Frampton's "Hapax Legomena"
Afterimage, Jan. 1978, v. 5, no. 7, pp. 8-13
Scott MacDonald assesses in detail the seven films comprising Hollis Frampton’s Hapax Legomena, a work he finds underappreciated due to the rigorous depth of thought it demands from viewers. Both personal and formal, the early parts of Frampton’s series hint at fraught relationships, whereas the later films deal primarily with the film medium itself.
