Re: [Frameworks] Electronic Soundtracks for Avant-Garde Films

Albert, I believe Ian Hugo's films had electronic soundtracks that predate many of the examples discussed here. Louis and Bebe Barron (who, with Forbidden Planet, gave commercial cinema its first electronic score) composed the sound for Bells of Atlantis (1953) but many of his later films (ex.

Re: [Frameworks] Jazz Music and Avant-Garde Film

Hi Albert, Jack Chambers' R34 features a section of Ayler's Bells for the last stretch of it. Joyce Wieland's Rat Life and Diet in North America has a violent cacophony of free jazz at the beginning that I've not been able to identify. Joyce's Water Sark has an improvisational soundtrack by

Hi Richard, Christine Lucy Latimer has used VHS to make some very interesting work dealing with the format's aesthetic character. The Pool comes to mind -- https://vimeo.com/32115389 I screened this work about three years ago and seem to remember her entrusting me with an exhibition copy on a

Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Films on Farming/ Agriculture

I saw The Loom for the first time a few weeks ago - much of it is shot from fixed vantage points looking into a chicken pen (the image becomes layered - other barnyard animals enter - painted images are superimposed, as are flames, if memory serves). Perhaps others can correct me if my

Herb, A couple of examples from Canada: Jack Chambers' R-34 (1967). This is Chambers' film of the neo-Dada collagist and painter Greg Curnoe, which mixes footage of Curnoe at work in his studio with scenes from his daily life and his community in London, Ontario; Chambers' editing mirrors

Joyce Wieland uses text prominently in several of her films: 1933, Reason Over Passion, Sailboat, Solidarity, Pierre Vallieres. Mike Rice mentioned Hollis Frampton -- Frampton collaborated on the alphabetical permutations of text of Wieland's Reason Over Passion. There's a short chapter on text
