Larcher's EETC (1986) is also a kind of travelogue. At least, it was made on the road, and there are shots of his bus, plus him processing film in a Morse tank, walking about etc. It's a great example of film-video hybridity too,

Also Hollis Frampton's Ordinary Matter (1972) is a kind of metaphysical travelogue that spans the Brooklyn Bridge and Stonehenge. -- Michael Zryd Associate Professor / Graduate Program Director, Cinema and Media Studies York University, Department of Film, CFT 227, 4700 Keele St., Toronto, ON M3J 1P3 CANADA tel: 416-736- 2100 x 22513 / fax: 416-736-5710 / Skype: mjpzryd [email protected] / http://www.yorku.ca/finearts/faculty/profs/zryd.htm On 2011-11-10, at 1:48 PM, Steve Polta wrote: Rumored to be the ultimate in long-form ruminative experimental travelogues are MARE'S TALE (1969, 160 min.) and/or THE MONKEY'S BIRTHDAY (1975, 360 min.), both by David Larcher. a piece of writing: http://making-light-of-it.blogspot.com/2010/07/mares-tailmonkeys-birthday.html one of 'em screened in Leeds this year it seems: http://www.directorsnotes.com/2010/11/11/liff2010-mares-tail/ Good luck...

Levine <[email protected]> Subject: [Frameworks] Travelogues To: "Experimental Film Discussion List" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, November 10, 2011, 9:41 AM Hello you, I am trying to pull together a list of experimental films that either fall directly under the category of "travelogue" or bear witness to travel and distance from a point of origin on the part of the filmmaker. 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!
