He left New York for Amsterdam in 1968. With Willum Thijssen and Paul de Mol he founded Holland Experimental Film (HEF) in the 70's, a cooperative which allowed a wide diffusion of local experimental cinema. At the end of this decade, Rubin set up Experiment 79 which discovered on a large scale east european experimental cinema (Yougoslavia, Hungary, Poland). For the 10-11th issue of CinémAction dedicated to Avant-Garde cinema, he coordinated the chapters about east european cinema.
