For mainstream features, check out the BFI Screen Guides text, 100 Modern Soundtracks by Phillip Brophy. Brophy’s introduction offers a constructive contextualizing perspective. Decent text for laying a groundwork for thinking about sound in narrative features. Bresson is always brilliant with

Re: [Frameworks] Films about glass and light

While it has been too too many years since I have seen the early work of Andrew Noren, I’m certain that the film formally known as Kodak Ghost Poems, and some of his later films would definitely meet your criteria. Certainly the part about light, and much of Noren’s light came in through glass

Stephanie, Whether or not the forum is appropriate, I think the question is too broad and too vague. An opening question would be does Media Studies mean production? If “yes” to production, what are your aspirations and how much money do you want to spend? A frequent contributor to this forum,

I’m reticent to put art associative words around anyone’s work, but you might consider the work of Aldo Tambellini, who painted on, inked on, scratched on, film, in the early 1960’s. You would have to ask him if he considered his work “abstract expressionist”. He’s till alive and active at 87,
