Jen,
It has been ages since I've seen a copy, but there was an exhibition
catalog about the loop in artist's films in 2001-2002. It had many
short essays, some focused upon the exhibited artists, and others on
the loop as a concept, but none really longer than 5 pages (however
the catalog was in a Vogue-like page layout so the 5 pages may be
close to 10 pages if placed into a book). Each of the editors
contributed a text.
Here is the bibliography reference I have for it (and some of the
details):
Biesenbach, Klaus , Jennifer Allen, and Daniel Birnbaum, eds. Loop :
Alles Auf Anfang. Munich: Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung, 2001.
chiefly coloured ill. ; 31 cm. Texts in German and English
Catalogue of an exhibition held at Kunsthalle der Hypo-
Kulturstiftung, Munich, from Sept. 14 to Nov. 4, 2001 and at P.S.1/
MoMA, New York, from Dec. 9, 2001 to Jan. 27, 2002./ "Magazine 03/01,
Special issue"--Editorial./ "Loop - back to the beginning [is] an
exhibition featuring the diverse work of 20 international artists who
explore a strategy of repeated gesture, the loop."--Foreword./
Features the works of Canadian artists Rodney Graham, Stan Douglas./
Includes bibliographical references.
Loop, back to the beginning.; Magazine 03/01.
Boris Groys has also examined the loop as a formal structure, he
curated an exhibition at Apex Art in New York during the winter of
2008, there is still a web page up with a link to the exhibition
brochure:

I think the found-footage videos he produced in conjunction with the
exhibition were released by Hatje Cantz after the show moved to ZKM
in Karlsruhe, Germany :

Hi everyone,
Can anyone point me to any good writing on the notion of the "loop"
in cinema (that is, the repetition of a strip of film over and
over)? Of course, one of the ways cinema got its start was in
showcasing simple looped images, but I'm particularly interested in
its role in avant-garde film, expanded cinema, video art, etc.
Articles about repetition as a technique would be of interest too,
though those are a bit easier to come by.
Thanks!
Jen
