In 2011, San Francisco Cinematheque and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presented the event "Muybridge in Three Movements" that included film, dance and "a Muybridge-driven conversation on cinematic space and time." The conversation was more of a reading by Rebecca Solnit from her book on Muybridge, the dance piece turned out to be actually about the Lumiere Brothers and the film selection (by Solnit and myself) was as off of a grab-bag as a four-film program could be but two completely relevant films screened were "Motion Studies" (1995) by Mark Wilson and "*INGENIVM NOBIS IPSA PVELLA FECIT" *(1974, of which excerpts were screened) by Hollis Frampton. This latter film—which to my knowledge is rarely discussed or screened—directly addresses Muybridge's motion study work in that it consists of endless variations on nude figures performing endless mundane and pointless tasks (up a ladder/down a ladder; water a plant; etc) all in the neutral black-background Muybridge-ian null space. See the program description here: http://www.sfcinematheque.org/muybridge_in_three_movements/
Wilson's film is available from Canyon Cinema: www.canyoncinema.com Frampton's from the Film-Makers' Cooperative: http://film-makerscoop.com/rentals-sales/search-results?fmc_author=250(looks like an excerpt is on Criterion's Frampton DVD set as well...)
