Hello Frameworkers, After reading Manohla Dargis' piece this morning in the NY Times about the recent crop of historically informed features coming out of Hollywood (link below), it got me thinking about historically informed experimental works. Works by Travis Wilkerson, Lynn Sacks, Craig Baldwin and Harun Farocki immediately jumped to mind, but of course there are many, many others. This is an interesting slice of the experimental filmmaking sphere- not simply non-fiction works, but films directly dealing with or referencing a specific historic event or topic that is at some level in the common record (therefore I am not including personal/diary type films in this query). Essentially, films that could be 'fact checked' and held up to some level of scrutiny, but simultaneously still clearly artistic/experimental works.
If anyone is aware of any articles or texts of the subject, as well as other films/filmmakers to suggest, I'd love to hear people's thoughts. Thanks! -Matt NYTimes article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/23/movies/awardsseason/the-history-in-lincoln-argo-and-zero-dark-thirty.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0&hp -- ------------------------------- www.rodeofilmco.com -------------------------------
