Malcolm Le Grice discusses the aforementioned Land/ow film and mentioned one of
his films (Castle 1) that uses countdown leader in this article from Frieze.

Just to add a few to Mark's list below, Bruce Conner's "A Movie" is also, of
course, filled with "inappropriate" leader ("End of Part IV," if memory serves,
comes very early in the film).
Also, I imagine you've come across this, but since it wasn't in your list, Owen
Land/George Landow's "Film in Which There Appear Edge Lettering, Sprocket
Holes, Dirt Particles, Etc." is nothing but a short stretch of leader featuring
a China girl.

I had thought the initial request was not just about leader in general, but
had some more specific focus, but maybe I misunderstood. Here are some more
films that deal with leader as a foregrounded subject or device of sorts:
"Leader", "Cross Cut - A Blue Movie" and "Red Stockings" by Robert Huot
"Colorfilm" by Standish Lawder
"Report" and "Ten Second Film" by Bruce Conner
"Standard Gauge" and "Cue Rolls" by Morgan Fisher
Plenty of filmmakers have used bits of leaders here and there in there
films as formal devices, or for some other effect. Pat O'Neill has a bit in
some of his films, like Runs Good. Brakhage did it a ton, but not really for a
leader-as-leader effect, rather he used clear and color leaders for their
specific color properties. Scenes From Under Childhood is loaded with colored
plastic leader. Robert Nelson did it a lot, but no one of his films really
focuses on leader itself as the subject. I'd probably say leaders have their
most significant use in his film Suite California Stops & Passes Part 1.
"Girls on Film" by Julie and Karin is also a 35mm short film, deriving from
the photo exhibit they created.
Genevieve Yue has been researching china girls, and has put together a
program of china girl related films at Anthology for sometime this Fall. I
could list some of them, but you'd have a more definitive list when her program
is printed, presumably soon.

Subject: [Frameworks] Re earlier inquiry about film leaders
Hi folks,
A few months back I posted a request for references to makers working
with, and writers writing about, film leaders. I got a few replies,
and have also followed up on some of my own leads. Anyway, here's what
I've got so far; paltry I know, but there ya go. (Thanks to Ken for
the reminder.)
Best,
Matt
