I would certainly add Marie Menken to this names.  It is so important nowadays 
in the world of selfies and Go-Pro footage we find in the web.

Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it is to 
start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and select 
exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage), minimalist 
(Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include 
Brakhage’s lens-captured films in the problematic “abstract.

2015-03-28 Thread Dennis Doros
There are no three possible to represent the entire world of experimental
film.

But for women, you might want to start with Suspense by Lois Weber and
Philip Smalley. It's extremely experimental for the year it was made.

And with Shirley Clarke, having seen all of them now about two dozen times
each over the past six years, I know that BRIDGES-GO-ROUND is everybody's
favorite but I would say MOMENT IN LOVE is mine. Seeing her outtakes and
notebooks, it's the one she worked the hardest to create and I love the
work of choreographer Anna Sokolow. Also, we are just starting to show D.
A. Pennebaker and Shirley Clarke's BRUSSELS LOOP films (there were also
four or five other filmmakers involved) and they are really incredible up
on the screen.

But especially for artists, it's almost impossible not to include the best
of experimental film without my favorite, which is BEGONE DULL CARE by
Norman McLaren (and Evelyn Lambert) and it's tough to show him without the
best of Len Lye.

Also in mind with artists, and for more collaborations between man and a
woman, you can't really go wrong with Alexeieff and Parker pin animation.

2015-03-28 Thread Elizabeth McMahon
RIP Cecile Starr. She championed so many experimental filmmakers,
especially those who were women, and yes, it, gender, it is an important
distinction. Few would know about Mary Ellen Bute (and Ted Nemeth), or
(Alexander Alexeieff and) Claire Parker (or Starr and her husband, recently
newly widowed husband, partner is celluloid crime Aram Boyajian) who, without
her intense and incisive scholarship, advocacy, and distribution of
experimental, avant garde, and animation of each type, we would all be so
diminished in our understanding of film history.  Dennis is right about
McClaren as so brilliant as to be included in the top of essentials, but I
won't play this silly 3 films limit nonsense. All you need is the
filmography from Anthology Film Archives ongoing, infamous Essential
CInema series, a stalwart primer in basic film knowledge, to know what to
program for your students or friends. Gary Handman, nee of UCLA, happily
retired albeit available if you seek him out, is a librarian after just
about everyone's heart, his syllabi in film studies over the years he
worked and taught are essential, too, if what to see and know about in film
history and studies. Perfect distillations with no BS.

But, yeah, for each of the 3 chosen, I would program McLaren. Neigbours
and Spook Sport are my two faves. Geez, Oskar Fischinger is my favorite,
anything just anything, and good golly, Lotte Reineger, anyone? See, I
succumbed and fell in to this nonsense. This is just absurd.

2015-03-28 Thread Bernard Roddy
The only print I showed was Serene Velocity by Gehr, but I used a
Sharits DVD and a DVD of FLUXUS work to get the early bottoms film by
Yoko Ono (Gehr and Ono being discussed in the MacDonald).

I also tried to include an orientation toward film and video that drew
its inspiration from the manipulation of mass media.  The text I used
for this was in the Video Vortex Reader (#4) and mentions Ian
Breakwell's diary for broadcast (as well as a stunt by Chris Burden).

But my great discovery fell under the underground heading, where it
made sense to be talking about the use of actors and the thinking
about rehearsals (think of Kuchar's I a Woman).  Check out Franz
Zwartjes, out of the Netherlands.

I taught an introductory course in which I framed things under the
terms underground, avant-garde, studio-art video, video as
technology, documentary, and a concluding section called film
culture (histories of organizing, concluding with Cashmere's Incite
issue devoted to exhibition).

1. For underground we get Amos Vogel and are allowed relatively populist
clips.
2. For avant-garde we get Scott MacDonald and the classics of his
early text, Avant-Garde Film (which is really useful to keep us in the
history game, since there's that initial link in MacDonald to the
split identified in Kracauer's Theory of Film, the formative and the
realist tendencies).
3. For studio-art video we get Catherine Elwes, who can position body-
and gender-oriented video nicely into a context with Paik.
4. For video as technology we get Yvonne Spielmann, who has a notion
of experimental with respect to video that is about signals, not
frames or even images.  This is essential to talk about Steina.
5. For documentary we have a chapter from Renov and a chapter from
Marks.  Renov can get us Saddie Benning.
6. I found the film culture to be the most useful for introducting
the Austrian work, like Kren's.  Hans Scheugle's text in
Tscherkassky's volume ensures that we have some context for the
expanded of cinema art.

 Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it is to 
 start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and select 
 exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage), minimalist 
 (Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include 
 Brakhage’s lens-captured films in the problematic “abstract.

Re: [Frameworks] What are the 3 Essential Films that you would show Artists on their first foray into the Moving Image Realm ?

2015-03-28 Thread Bernard Roddy
You can get a canon of women, no problem.  I would list early Su Friedrich.

But I wouldn't want to be raised as a potential name for a list because of
my gender.

As it happened, in the class I taught I found myself watching Norman
McLaren next to Joanna Quinn's Girls' Night Out.  The comparison made
less sense than a comparison with early video on the Experimental
Television Center's collection, which is also abstract.  Want to look for a
woman on those discs?  No problem.  But I thought the comparison was
interesting because of differences between forms of abstraction, one made
on strips, the other made using signal.

[Frameworks] Antony Balch / Bill Tony

2015-03-28 Thread Dietmar Schwärzler | sixpackfilm
Hello

Does anybody know, where I could get a print (analog or digital) of Bill 
Tony (1972) by Antony Balch? Balch did that film in collaboration with
William Burroughs.

I have been in contact with Lux, BFI and Raro Video (US; they released a
DVD) but without success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Best, Dietmar

Re: [Frameworks] What are the 3 Essential Films that you would show Artists on their first foray into the Moving Image Realm ?

2015-03-28 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
In a talk I heard P. Adams Sitney give in Berlin a few years ago, it sounded 
like he was doing some revisionist history to credit Marie Menken’s “Arabesque 
for Kenneth Anger” with being the film that broke from the psychodrama 
tradition.  If that’s the case—and why not?—then that seems a MAJOR mile marker 
of a-g film history.

(Still not going to pretend it makes any sense to name just 3 films.)

 Hello

 Does anybody know, where I could get a print (analog or digital) of Bill 
 Tony (1972) by Antony Balch? Balch did that film in collaboration with
 William Burroughs.

 I have been in contact with Lux, BFI and Raro Video (US; they released a
 DVD) but without success.
 Any help would be much appreciated.

 Best, Dietmar

Paul Auster in The Book of Illusions

Too much given, I felt, not enough was left to the viewer's
imagination, and the paradox was that the closer movies came to
simulating reality, the worse they failed at representing the world --
which is in us as much as it is around us.

Re: [Frameworks] What are the 3 Essential Films that you would show Artists on their first foray into the Moving Image Realm ?

2015-03-28 Thread nicky . hamlyn
I showed Wavelength yesterday to first year Fine Art students. It's  a very 
tough introduction to a/g film, a real plunge into the deep end. It really 
annoys and baffles some, but enthuses others, but it always stimulates debate 
in a way that few other films can. For these reasons and others, it's essential,

Nicky.

Wavelength (Snow, 1967); Zorns Lemma (Frampton, 1970); Arnulf Rainer
(Kubelka, 1960) - in that order.

I taught an introductory course in which I framed things under the
terms underground, avant-garde, studio-art video, video as
technology, documentary, and a concluding section called film
culture (histories of organizing, concluding with Cashmere's Incite
issue devoted to exhibition).

1. For underground we get Amos Vogel and are allowed relatively populist
clips.
2. For avant-garde we get Scott MacDonald and the classics of his
early text, Avant-Garde Film (which is really useful to keep us in the
history game, since there's that initial link in MacDonald to the
split identified in Kracauer's Theory of Film, the formative and the
realist tendencies).
3. For studio-art video we get Catherine Elwes, who can position body-
and gender-oriented video nicely into a context with Paik.
4. For video as technology we get Yvonne Spielmann, who has a notion
of experimental with respect to video that is about signals, not
frames or even images.  This is essential to talk about Steina.
5. For documentary we have a chapter from Renov and a chapter from
Marks.  Renov can get us Saddie Benning.
6. I found the film culture to be the most useful for introducting
the Austrian work, like Kren's.  Hans Scheugle's text in
Tscherkassky's volume ensures that we have some context for the
expanded of cinema art.

 Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it
is to
 start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and
select
 exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage),
minimalist
 (Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include
 Brakhage¹s lens-captured films in the problematic ³abstract.
