Ken Jacobs

Ken Jacobs [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0414499/] (born May 25 1933) is an American experimental filmmaker. He is the director of "Tom, Tom, The Piper's Son" (1969, USA), which was admitted to the National Film Registry in 2007, and "Star Spangled to Death" (2004, USA), a nearly seven hour film comprised largely of found footage.

He coined the term "paracinema" in the early 1970s, referring to cinema experiences provided by means outside of standard cinema technology. He was an influential teacher of Art Spiegelman of "Maus" fame, former painting student of Hans Hoffman, and in 1969 with Larry Gottheim started the Cinema dept. at Harpur College (now Binghamton University), providing arts education and tools of critical thinking to students until his retirement in 2003 as a Distinguished Professor of Cinema. He is included in the Whitney Museum's list of the hundred greatest artists of the twentieth century. He resides in New York City.
