[Frameworks] historically informed experimental films
Hello Frameworkers, After reading Manohla Dargis' piece this morning in the NY Times about the recent crop of historically informed features coming out of Hollywood (link below), it got me thinking about historically informed experimental works. Works by Travis Wilkerson, Lynn Sacks, Craig Baldwin and Harun Farocki immediately jumped to mind, but of course there are many, many others. This is an interesting slice of the experimental filmmaking sphere- not simply non-fiction works, but films directly dealing with or referencing a specific historic event or topic that is at some level in the common record (therefore I am not including personal/diary type films in this query). Essentially, films that could be 'fact checked' and held up to some level of scrutiny, but simultaneously still clearly artistic/experimental works. If anyone is aware of any articles or texts of the subject, as well as other films/filmmakers to suggest, I'd love to hear people's thoughts. Thanks! -Matt NYTimes article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/23/movies/awardsseason/the-history-in-lincoln-argo-and-zero-dark-thirty.html?pagewanted=1_r=0hp -- --- www.rodeofilmco.com --- ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] historically informed experimental films
Jeffrey Skoller's book, Shadows, Specters, Shards: Making History in Avant=garde film Minneapolis: U of MN Press, 2005) is a great book (full disclosure, I'm his friend). He covers lots of figures including Dan Eisenberg, Ernie Gehr, Godard, Patricio Guzman, Elenor Antin, Abigail Child, Charles Burnett, Craig Baldwin, and more. And (not to be too modest) you can catch my star turn in Laura Kipnis' experimental video, Marx: The Video.

Re: [Frameworks] historically informed experimental films
Peter Forgacs. And a couple of Martha Colburn’s animations are historically informed (maybe inspired is better). Also David Sherman’s “To Re-Edit the World.” From: Chuck Kleinhans Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 12:39 PM To: Experimental Film Discussion List Subject: Re: [Frameworks] historically informed experimental films Jeffrey Skoller's book, Shadows, Specters, Shards: Making History in Avant=garde film Minneapolis: U of MN Press, 2005) is a great book (full disclosure, I'm his friend).

Re: [Frameworks] historically informed experimental films
Thom Andersen’s “Los Angeles Plays Itself’ seems to meet your criteria. It’s a social history that deals with a specific topic.
