Sorry to spoil the mood, but the first programme's a really bad mash up, eg clips from Berlin Horse overlaid with the music track from Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract. All but one of the so-called artist filmmakers discussed in the UK section are those who have crossed over to more or less big budget, more or less feature-film making; Steve McQueen, Clio Barnard, Ben Rivers. None of the clips is dated, so there's no way one could get a sense of chronology, let alone history. I realise there's a limit to how much can be achieved in 12 minutes, but even so. Despite the calculatedly un-patronising attitude of the presenter, the programme seems to have been tailored to the assumption, shared with the TV audience, that real filmmaking is really feature filmmaking.

Unfortunately, it's only available on Facebook, on BBC Talking Movies page, under videos, so I suspect you'll need a FB account (or maybe not). The episodes are the first two on the top left. Great stuff! Big shout out to Film-Maker's Cooperative in NYC, in the second episode. That's M.M Serra, its Executive Director, in the stacks. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=vb.115246171845694&type=2 <https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=vb.115246171845694&type=2>; Best, Elizabeth McMahon _______________________________________________FrameWorks mailing [email protected]https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
