Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text
In the same vein as Gently Down the Stream, you might take a look at Lauren Cook's Altitude Zero. I do think Lauren's film (like Gently and many of the others listed) rely on IMAGES just as much as text. It seems the list narrows considerably if you're thinking about films that are only textual (like Peter Rose's Secondary Currents), but even those films are not really just text, since they rely on a choice of typeface, a specific decision about where to place the text in the frame, etc. Some of David Gatten's text-heavy films, for example, seem to me equally to be about typography and about the texture of the pages as much as they're about the words themselves. ...

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text
Kelly Egan not only uses text as image in her films but also on the optical sound track as sound. CFMDC is her film distributor. But Kelly is also on this list.

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text
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 and film in Bruce Elder's book on Canadian experimental film, Image and Identity (1989), The Relation of Text and Image: Postmodernist Strategies, 293-295. There he also mentions Patricia Gruben's The Central Character, and his own films 1857: Fool's Gold, Illuminated Texts, and Lamentations.

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text
Hi Shelly, I'm just finishing a 35mm film that is based on text taken from my Will, plus I wrote out my Will onto the unexposed film stock using light from a laser pen. All done in complete darkness. The film is titled My Last Words. But if you are looking for mainly women filmmakers then I would defiantly recommend the already mentioned talented filmmaker Kelly Egan - Toronto filmmaker. Roger D. Wilson613 324 - 7504rogerdwilson@sympatico.cahttp://www.rogerdwilson.ca Without failure you can never achieve success. I have based my process and my career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new.

About a month ago, San Francisco Cinematheque (in association with Litquake [a literary arts festival] and the Canyon Cinema Foundation) presented a screening (curated by me) of works on this very topic—Films on the Visualization of Text. I paste the promo text below and also offer this link to our website: http://www.sfcinematheque.org/screenings/the-word-my-dear-is-piecemeal-films-on-the-visualization-of-text/ Notably, Stephanie Barber has done a lot a lot of film/video work using visualized text, including many of the works in her series *Jhanna and the Rats of James Olds*. Nearly the entire filmography of David Gatten deals with text as image and with the process of reading. Joyce Weiland is also a good call that has been made. Jesse Malmed's recent work is also (in a way) very much about visualized language and concrete poetry. See the link below; a lot of his work is online.
