Here's an advocacy documentary that examines sleep deprivation by the well 
known cinamamtographer, Haskell Wexler:

Who Needs Sleep?

http://whoneedssleep.weebly.com/index.html

  Ahhh... the glamorous life in Hollywood. Or is it? Film crews routinely work 
sweatshop hours, often clocking 15 to 18 hour days at the expense of their 
families, their health, their well-being, and even their lives. 

  In 1997, after a 19-hour day on the set, assistant cameraman Brent 
Hershman fell asleep behind the wheel, crashed his car, and died. Deeply 
disturbed by Hershman's preventable death, filmmaker and multiple-Oscar-winning 
cinematographer Haskell Wexler shows how sleep deprivation and long work hours 
are a lethal combination. Who Needs Sleep? is a commentary on our quality of 
life.

Barbara Sternberg's TRANSITIONS
1982, 16mm, 11:30

Transitions” is a film of inner life and speaks of time, reality,  
power. It depicts the disquieting sensations of being between -  
between falling asleep and being awake, between here and there,  
between being and non-being. These metaphysical themes are evoked by  
the central image of a woman in white over which layers of images and  
sound (voices) are superimposed.

available from the cfmdc: http://www.cfmdc.org/node/1446
--

i have seen the film several times and it is an absolutely incredible  
film!  one of my favourites.  lots of optical printing... images of a  
woman tossing and turning in tangled sheets on a bed, sitting on the  
edge, smoking a cigarette, other images as well, repetitive  
superimpositions and the sound track is filled with layers of whispers  
some of which emerge more than others... i seem to recall the  
recurring phrase "i can't go to sleep"  or something like that it  
is such an evocative and powerful film, especially for anyone who has  
ever spent a night laying half awake, half asleep.

Tehching Hsieh's One Year Performance 1980-1981

My favorite of his one-year performances. He punches a time clock every
hour on the hour for one year. He documents the process by firing one frame
of film for each time-clock punch. The object created: a time-lapse film of
a man spontaneously sprouting hair and shivering (due to slightly different
poses every hour) standing next to a spinning clock.  A rare (and
effective) study of monotonous labor.

2011-11-04 Thread Jorge Lorenzo Flores Garza

Well, yes, of course, reading Mark Toscano's reply, there are all those films 
made at night.  I saw one by Takashi Ito called GHOST.  It was made in a 
dormitory in the company where he worked.  And he wrote that he was sleeping 
like two hours a day because of shooting long exposures frame by frame.  I 
highly recomend his work.  SPACEY is very interesting.  It uses animation 
techniques with photographs of a huge gym, but it seems like it was shot in the 
same painstaking conditions...I'm sure he didn't sleep much.

And let's not forget Jeanne Liotta's OBSERVANDO EL CIELO.  I am one of the 
unfortunate one that hasn't seen it, but the clips look really good and I am 
sure she didn't get much sleep while doing it.

Cheers,

Jorge Lorenzo

Different sizes of hole-punches in black leader.  I think Fred made this during 
insomnia-driven late nights, but not sure.  His scratch film BOULEVARD may also 
be relevant.  And perhaps EVERYDAY BAD DREAM.

999 BOY by Chris Langdon
10 minutes of 400-speed b/w footage driving in the desert at night, only 
headlights illuminating the landscape - the night merging with and emerging out 
of the grain field that makes up the film's dominant imagery.

HAULING TOTO BIG by Robert Nelson
Covers dream states, documented reality transformed as folklore, hypnosis, 
landscape wanderings, many other things...

Many by Lewis Klahr or Janie Geiser (like THE FOURTH WATCH)  Actually, Lewis's 
GOVINDA would be great.  Late night softporn, a found student film, and a super

There are two good docos about call centers in India, where the workers keep 
odd night schedules:
  Sonali Gulati: Nalini by Day, Nancy by Night
  Ashim Ahluwalia: John and Jane
Very different in style and POV, so not redundant.

Also, the guy whose rampage is the subject of the excellent doc "Cul De Sac" by 
the late Garrett Scott was a laid off late shift worker with insomnia. Some of 
the interview footage in this film is poorly shot, but don't let the odd look 
put you off. Overall, it's edited very well, very smart, and remains powerful, 
disturbing and extraordinarily topical. Highly recommended

Re: [Frameworks] I can´t sleep

Alan Berliner made a doc about his insomnia, Wide Awake I believe it is. I 
haven't seen it, but he's one of the few filmmakers who has made really good 
documentaries AND really good experimental films. Rudy Burckhardt had a nice 
little poetry film In Bed. Nightcats and the Sexual Meditations by Brakhage.

On a practical note, if you can't sleep, turn on the tv. It will do it for you.
