I've had some success showing John Smith films in this context before..."Girl Chewing Gum" is good, and "Om" if you're after something shorter. Both have a lot of teachable elements if that's interesting to you.
And of course, there's the early avant garde films..."Symphonie Diagonale" "Retour a la Raison", etc. I also liked showing Len Lye films ( colourful, usually not too long). I guess my suggestion here is that direct-film techniques rarely produce content of questionable moral fibre :) R On Sunday, July 12, 2015, Chris Freeman <[email protected]> wrote: > EFF Portland had a family friendly screening on one of the days of the > festival in 2013.
