...best show on Newbury St. is at the Rigelhaupt where eight sculptors of the "$2000-for-that-thing-I-could-make-it-mayself" schools try to show the gallergoer that he can't. "Art in Process: The Visual Development of a Structure" collects some of the most questionable genres of modern art and affords a glimpse into their creation by surrounding each sculpture with the notes and drawings that helped form it. As a study of the creative process the exhibit is spread much too thin--each artist has only the most token representation, and each work only...

...periodic excitement in the main tent. Seventeen nations were represented in a program that included ten or a dozen superb shorts and five fine features. Pursuing ever more strongly a direction evident for more than a decade, the new films showed more freedom of narrative form, more richness of visual vocabulary. The new moviemakers more and more firmly reject the rules of the drama, and more and more sensitively obey the laws of the eye. They mean to write with the lens and not with their pens. The festival's best...
