Re: [Frameworks] Films or videos with one person playing all the parts

Did anyone ever mention the work of Rachel Maclean? She plays all the roles
in most of her works.

Re: [Frameworks] Experimental shorts with science-fiction themes?

[Suzie Silver]

You could check out Strange Attractors: Investigations in Non-Humanoid
Extraterrestrial Sexualities. It¹s a book of art/writing that comes with a
two hour dvd with approximately 20 film/videos. There are films/videos by
Peggy Ahwesh, Shana Moulton, Jacob Ciocci and many others, most of which
have an obvious science fiction theme.

If you are interested, the most reliable place to get it is probably the
Video Data Bank for around $50.

Subject:  [Frameworks] Experimental shorts with science-fiction themes?

Hello all,

I'm looking for recommendations for experimental film and animated works
that have science-fiction/visionary themes, both overt (like La Jetee or
Tribulation 99) and subtle (maybe more along the lines of Christopher
MacLaine's The End or These Hammers Don't Hurt Us by Michael Robinson).

Thank you!
Gina

Re: [Frameworks] women and crime

[Suzie Silver]

Not sure if anyone posted these but here are a couple with female
detectives:

Mireille Enos as Sarah Linden in The Killing on AMC
Cagney and Lacey (1980s)

Here's a link to crimeculture.com article on female detectives in hollywood
film

Did anyone mention Office Killer dir. Cindy Sherman?

Thank you for the suggestions..

With groups of women I mean in crime. Let´s say a police office where the
boss and half of the crew are women -
or a group of female thieves working together.
I am interested in alternatives to the standard and classic structures of
women as victims (even if they are the ones committing the murder,Š) or of
male/female relationships,..

And are there any suggestions for female detectives?!
And always female directors!

November by Hito Steyerl is a great reference! Thank you!!

 There's actually quite a bit in the mainstream:
 
 
 for groups:  start with the TV series Orphan Black (first season on Blu-ray
 and DVD now, second season starts this spring); also earlier, Doll House
 also pretty good: Continuum (sci-fi) on streaming Netflix
 
 Of course, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc.
 
 Academic feminists have written a lot about this trend:
 
 Chris Holmlund, the deadly dolls chapter of Impossible Bodies
 Linda Mizejewski, Hardboiled and High Heeled
 Martha McCaughey and Neal King, eds, Reel Knockouts
 Hilary Neroni  The Violent Woman
 
 and there's the whole rape/revenge cycleŠ.
 
 that's just scratching the surfaceŠgood hunting

 Hello everyone,
 
 I´ve been following your discussions and conversations for some time and I´m
 amazed! Thanks for all the great input!
 
 Now I´ve got a question:
 Do you have any good suggestions for crime films/documentaries, also videos,
 short and experimental film, where either the detective or the
 thief/gangster/con artist is a woman. Especially interesting would be groups
 of women. 
 
 Thank you!

Hi Shelly! 
 
My few suggestions include the already mentioned Scott MacDonald book,
Screen Writings, which includes some Hollis Frampton and Yoko Ono text-based
work, among many other interesting artists.  Other suggestions include a few
of my own projects: Several years ago I riffed off of Ono's Paintings to Be
Constructed in Your Head by writing a self-published short volume called
Videos to Be Constructed in Your Head.  I could send you that booklet if you
like.  And recently, for Experimental Film Fest Portland's installation
exhibition in 2013, I collaborated with artist Jodie Cavalier on a
participatory piece, Uncertainty Principle, that invited people to
contribute an imaginary movie, conceptual video, or written film by
writing it on a little form we provided and sticking it to the cork board we
had put on the wall. See images here http://julieperini.org/blog/13837052
. I've been working on this kind of thing in my teaching too - in my Low
Tech Cinema course at PSU, the first unit explores no tech imaginary,
written films.
 
Keep me posted on how your research develops!
Julie
