Yeah, I think I saw that Joe Dimaggio video at the Nightingale. What does that have to do with road movies? I am reluctant to look more closely at the list.
But I was also thinking that instead of the call for non-fiction or diary work, instead of titles that could be associated with documentary in some way, what would constitute an example of a film that is not any of these? What is it that is supposed to distinguishes a film "as film" (but one that has been shot and is not, say, an exploration of color effects) from whatever it is that is outside of the desired conception of a work? Is it always "narrative" that is to be counterposed to such a film? There was that more specific call on the list that invited titles of works that used a diary to compose words for the voiceover. (Oh hey, I would list my 2008 film, Postcard: 16 mm, black-and-white, oh so personal). This strikes me as effectively honing in on a communal sensibility about "avant-garde" that is "non-fiction." I recently saw a program of Todd Lillethun's work at Chicago Filmmakers. The first works were in the spirit of a list such as this, at least in their meditation on the outsider, the homeless. But then there were a couple of polished works for which Lillethun was director and writer, and which were all about the spoken lines, the roles, and the turns in development that made for a polished production about gay life that would have broad appeal. Lillethun had programmed a video of mine way back around 2004, and so I was struck by the evolution of his sensibilities. Should I protest the direction the work took? I would say so. And why? I would say because it took on the function of social oil, of providing material for a meeting-place type of screening event, it was community building in search of a broader audience that would be taking time out from a life like that which appears on screen (Woody Allen, for example). How about a list of filmmakers who have crossed the line . . the line you would draw between the real and the game.
