And there are the four "Visions in Meditation" by Brakhage, also; road trips through the States and eastern Canada.

George is often cast as an outsider in these, though he did sustain his relationship to this project for several decades. Many of his diary videos, like 500 Millibars to Ecstasy and The Celluloid Cavalcade, document cinema-motivated travels to different cities. Rosa von Praunheim's "Army of Lovers" is a late-1970s travelogue of the U.S. from the perspective of queer activism. Not experimental (and not very self-reflective), but perhaps interesting alongside that formulation, would be the travel films made in the teens and 1920s by such filmmakers as Burton Holmes. Also the films of Martin and Osa Johnson (which Ken Jacobs later used for Star Spangled to Death). In a similar vein is Merian Cooper et al's "Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life."

These would not be so much ethnographic works which are part of a sustained cultural exchange, but films made as a result of the filmmaker "passing through" and acknowledging the looming spectre/problem/pleasure of "the tourist film". Warren Sonbert, perhaps John Smith's "The Hotel Diaries"? I'm sure there are others...but can you name them? Thanks/Grazie/Kiitos!
