Mail Art Romance (1982)
Mail Art Romance is a documentary about the avant garde poets and artists John M. Bennett and C. Mehrl ("Lady C") Bennett's courtship through mail-art in the late 1970's and early 1980s. Shot on 16mm film by John McClintock, the film is both a document of the DADA / Fluxus related underground mail-art movement of the period and a unique testament to the power of "true love". The film features interviews with both artists as well as their Columbus, OH post-man, reenactments of collaborative poems by the couple, examples of their mail-art and footage from their July 4th, 1980 wedding in rural Mount Vernon, Ohio. -John Also Bennett, December 2012
