Hi Andrew, I know you asked about films and not books, but anyways this could be helpful:
As Rob suggested, Michel Chions book "Film, a sound art" goes in depth with any kind of sound design and connection to the visual of film. Interestingly it spares out experimental cinema as a whole. It has a huge list of referenced films and not seldom after watching a movie i pick up the book and see if there is anything Chion had to say about the sound. Good luck and best, Kris --- www.krislimbach.com Am 14.11.2021 11:16 schrieb Rob Gawthrop: > Hi Andrew > > Your initial statement raises the ongoing problematic of the ontology of > film: if the statement was ...and make exceptional use of light, then the > dominance of language over the 'sensible' becomes even more apparent.
