TWO FILMS BY OWEN LAND features the illustrated scripts to the films Wide Angle Saxon and On the Marriage Broker Joke, complete with detailed footnotes that untangle their elaborate web of references. Reaching far beyond the two films alluded to in the title, it also includes a new interview, annotated filmography and recent essays by the artist.

"Two Films by Owen Land is much more than the texts of Wide Angle Saxon and On the Marriage Broker Joke, the two most complex films of Owen Land (aka George Landow). Mark Webber has scrupulously edited the first book on this major filmmaker, judiciously allowing Land's own words - his texts, his essays, hilarious annotations, and an interview - to reveal the depth and intensity of his engagement with cinema and other avant-garde film-makers. It is a very funny book: Land admits he has a been "converted more times than Uncle Ben's Rice," or speculated that Freud "would have bombed in Las Vegas" with the jokes in his book on Wit. The filmography alone constitutes a major contribution to the field." (P. Adams Sitney, author of Visionary Film)

George Landow [Owen Land]是20世紀60年代晚期至20世紀70年代早期的實驗電影布景的關鍵人物之一。他的作品在此時期在主要的國際影院和電影節中常被展放齣來，並被寫進有影響力的藝術刊物和開創性電影的參考書，如P. Adams Sitney的“幻想電影”。和Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton, Paul Sharits一起，他成為被景仰的人物，作為那一代的最原始的電影製作者和一名反自我製片的先驅。Land的電影通過文字遊戲和視覺模糊，質疑瞭電影的幻覺天性。Land常拙劣地模仿實驗電影本身，他使用現有的電影膠片，文本，副本和當時美國藝術關鍵時期進化的循環導軌概念藝術的習慣。崇敬由14段影片組成，包括後來被校訂和提取的早期的格式化的作品。由維也納謘terreichisches電影院保存和迴顧。這些電影質樸的新印刷品形式展示。此次鏇轉的迴顧之前在倫敦TATE現代藝術館，巴黎棚皮度藝術中心，維也納奧地利電影院和鹿特丹電影節中展示。

喬治·蘭道（George Landow）的《顯現片孔、旁字和塵土的電影》（Film in Which There Appear Sprocket Holes, Edge Lettering, Dirt Particles, Etc., 1966），采用一條呈現一名女子臉龐的測試片段，復製之後使得四個鏡頭填滿整個畫格，然後將結果循環展現，是以在連接的拷貝中，膠片上堆積瞭颳痕和塵土。
