Hello Dan, I'm 30 years on the spectrum myself, however I don't have teaching experience with autistic students. While your students may not find found footage filmmakers Bruce Conner or Bill Morrison as appealing as I do, one thing to keep in mind is that this generation is prone to video game and YouTube stimulation. I would suggest looking up YouTube Poops. The name may sound very infantile, but believe me when I say that a lot of editing and work go into remixing and warping movies and television shows in such a way that it creates a zany-surrealist humor effect for spectators. I have a guilty pleasure for these because of the quick, responsive in-jokes and edits that shoot by so fast, they catch me off guard.
I would also look into VHS recycling channels such as Memory Hole or Everything is Terrible.

In part two of "Adventures in First-Time Community College Teaching," I'm wondering if anyone has experience better reaching autistic students. There are two in my "Intro to Video" class, and we're starting out making a found footage movie from archive.org. The trouble is that finding visual connections and the Bruce Conner-style of filmmaking is a really tough hurdle for a person living with autism. (let alone most non-autistic folks!) Are there any autistic filmmakers on the list, or film/art instructors that have experience working with them? thanks!dan anderson _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
