7:30, The Pilot Light
THE ILLINOIS PARABLES
Deborah Stratman's experimental documentary comprised of regional vignettes 
about faith, force, technology, and exodus. Eleven parables relay histories of 
settlement, removal, technological breakthrough, violence, messianism and 
resistance, all occurring somewhere in the state of Illinois. The state is a 
convenient structural ruse, allowing its histories to become allegories that 
explore how we’re shaped by conviction and ideology. The Parables consider what 
might constitute a liturgical form. Not a sermon, but a form that questions 
what morality catalyzes, and what belief might teach us about nationhood. In 
our desire to explain the unknown, who or what do we end up blaming or 
endorsing?

Re: [Frameworks] Introductory books on experimental cinema

[Esperanza Collado]

Hi Maxwell,

Welcome to the list!

The list Chuck sent lacks the title I would have recommended in the first
place: Michael O´Pray's "Avant-Garde Film: Forms, Themes and Passions". It
is actually conceived as an introduction to avant-garde film. It doesn't
cover recent works but it goes from the 1920s to 1980s - 90s. It's a great
book for a beginner, and if you are looking for "something broad that will
give a jumping off point for as many artists as possible" you may want to
have a look at Vogel's "Film as a Subversive Art" too!

[John McAndrew]

I'd say just start with books that are easily available and cheap to pick
up, like A.L. Rees' A History of Experimental Film and Video, published by
the British Film Institute (either edition is fine). I don't think
bombarding someone with a list of 30 or so books as an "introduction" is a
good idea... if they want to research the subject further then they can
investigate some of those other titles in the bibliography at the end of
that book - you know, after they've first finished reading it.

Hello everyone,
I have followed this thread for several years, but this is the first time I am 
posting. I am looking for some recommendations for books that may encompass at 
least a basic history of avant-garde cinema, rather than focusing on a specific 
artist or theory. You can assume that I know nothing, or at least very little. 
I have started with Jonas Mekas's Film Journals and Alternative Projections, 
both of which I am enjoying very much. I don't care how academic or informal 
the books are. I am more looking for something broad that will give a jumping 
off point for as many artists as possible, so that I may then pick and choose 
which to research individually.

Thank you all for your time and consideration.

Best wishes,
Maxwell di Paolo
