Re: [Frameworks] Haiku in film

[Salah Hassanpour]

Can’t help but chime in re. mention of WTC Haikus.   Is there a master/original/viewing copy of that work at Anthology? I will fess up to having seen a digitized version of what seemed to be a poor video dupe of it many years ago.   From: Chris Lange Sent: January 24, 2021 9:32 PM To: Experimental Film Discussion List Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Haiku in film   Looks like Morgan Dusatko made rules that translates syllables as seconds in a shot. That’s an interesting translation of form.   WTC Haikus by Jonas Mekas I found on youtube. Truly beautiful. Loose on definition with haiku; maybe it’s just influenced by haiku, just to be thought of as poetry, which it is. I thought the film footage was better and more vibrant than the video in this piece, but it’s all a great montage.   I will watch Lost Lost Lost. Looks like it’s on Amazon. Haha. Is it anywhere else? I see Imperfect Three Image Films is on Lightcone.com. Three images, like three lines in a poem. I’ll try to get it soon.   Pip, that’s a fun poem you have in memory:    “On wet sidewalk A lonely bicycle wheel Locked to a tree”   Very good, and it could be a film.   -Chris On Jan 23, 2021, at 4:32 PM, FrameWorks Admin <framewo...@re-voir.com> wrote:   Jonas also made Fool’s Haikus and Rabbit Shit Haikus which were part of Lost Lost Lost edited in 1976.   His more recent Imperfect Three Image Films are haikus suggested by Julius Ziz who proposed making films with only three images and edited together a 45-minute program with films by Bruce Baillie, Jonas Mekas, Nicole Blachon, Moira Tierney, Masaki Hosokawa, Auguste Varkalis, Vanessa Von Houten, Kurt Karpenter, Stom Sogo, Ken Jacobs, Jeff Perkins, Julius Ziz.   Incidentally sometimes when spending time together in a bar Jonas would suggest we write haikus about something we saw during the day.

The poem expands upon the image.   Can you please recommend some films or filmmakers that make use of haiku?   Thank you,   -- Frameworks mailing list Frameworks@film-gallery.org http://film-gallery.org/mailman/listinfo/frameworks_film-gallery.org
