Did some digging around to find some of the videos relating to the videos or artists within the book "Broken Screen". Here's clips from the artists in the first chunk of the book. Just a warning, some of these are not family-friendly.
Eija-Liisa Ahtila:
Not sure if this film was discussed in the book but gives you an idea of her technique.
Robert Altman:
Live interview from the 70's(?)
A later interview from 1996. There are two other interviews before Altman, but the first one is definitely worth watching too.
Read this if you watched the first interview.
The trailer for "3 Women".
Kenneth Anger:
Mouse Heaven (2004)
Scorpio Rising (1964)
Kustom Kar Kommandos
John Baldessari:
I Am Making Art
Inventory
I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art
Matthew Barney:
Interview
Drawing Restraint 9 Clip
Couldn't find any full videos but here's some clips from the CREMASTER cycle they talk about in the text.
Cremaster 1
Cremaster 2
Cremaster 3
Cremaster 4
Cremaster 5
Cremaster 6 Haha.
That's all I got. Pretty much everything is on youtube if you want more, it is great.

Richard, thanks for taking the time (probably A LOT of time) to source out all these links. Much appreciated!
And yeah, Cremaster 6 was...umm...yeah. haha Oh, that Matthew Barney.
Yeah, I don't know about that Barney character. There are points within some of those Cremaster clips where I thought "Wow, that's kind of beautiful." But that feeling quickly subsided and was replaced with something not so complementary. I suppose I just have no desire to understand ridiculously convoluted allegories.
I'm sure we've all heard the saying "Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist." Perhaps Barney is living proof that it DOES in fact make you an artist. Things that make you go hmmm.
