Dear Frameworkers:
I am working on a new film project with the Ealaíontóirí Mhuscraí
(that's Irish for the Muskerry Region Artists Group)
Part of the project will involve film / video making workshops where I will
show
them works from experimental film, creative documentary and artists' moving
Maya Deren has to be in there...

Yes, Meshes of the Afternoon. And Un Chien Andalou for sure. The third, for
me, would be A Movie by Conner.

There are dozens, no, hundreds of “essential” films for artists to see. But
here are three I might use: Stan Brakhage, “Dog Star Man,” Robert Breer, “A Man
and his Dog Out for Air,” Phil Solomon, “The Secret Garden.”

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