I am enjoying this thread a lot too. Thank you everyone!

I would add Burroughs-Balch Cut-ups works, and I think no-one mentioned La
Coquille et Le Clergyman, a collaboration between Artaud and Dulac.

I neglected to mention any British filmmakers in my first response. There's
Derek Jarman's poetry in *The Garden*. Jarman's cottage, which appears in
the film, is decorated John Donne's "The Sun Rising," though I can't
remember if this is legible in the film.  Also, you might want to consider
some of English writer Iain Sinclairs's collaborations with various British
experimental filmmakers such as Chris Petit, Emily Richardson, and Andrew
Kotting. Also, William Raban's *Thames Film* is loosely structured around
excepts from T.S. Eliot's *Four Quartets.

Okay, here are a few of my favourite poetry-films (I warned you they are, shall 
we say, archival):

Three short films from the National Film Board of Canada: "Travellers Palm," 
1977 (poem by P.K. Page); "Poen" [sic], 1967 (Leonard Cohen, "Beautiful 
Losers"); "A Said Poem," 1977 ("found poetry" by J. R. Colombo)
Ian Hugo, "Bells of Atlantis," 1952 (Anaïs Nin, "House of Incest")
Rick Hancox, "Waterworx," 1982 (Wallace Stevens, "A Clear Day and No Memories")
Margaret Doogan, "Screw: A Technical Love Poem," 1972 (poem by Diane Wakowski)
Ed Akerman and Colin Morton, "Primi Too Taa," 1986 (dada poem by Kurt 
Schwitters)
Max Crosley, "Assassination Raga," 1972 (poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti)
Henry Hills, "Kino Da!" 1981 (Jack Hirschman, poem in manner of Russian 
Futurists)
Rachel Libert, "Undertaker," 1995 (poetry performance by Patricia Smith)

Re: [Frameworks] Literature and experimental film

[Steve Polta]

And actually Konrad Steiner just presented a new film of his own (could
have been world premiere but I'm not sure; I'd never heard of its existence
prior), titled "way" in San Francisco at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a
68-minute film based on a reading by Leslie Scalapino of her long poem also
titled "way." I don't know if this is literary enough for the original
inquirer but it's a very interesting film. FYI...

Re: [Frameworks] Literature and experimental film

[Adam Hyman]

This is moving slightly away, perhaps, but I think is related to the concern
with literature and cinema.

Konrad Steiner in the Bay Area was doing work in poetry and cinema several
years ago, which has also led to a neo-Benshi movement, which is relevant as
well.  Two of the neo-benshi shows have been done at REDCAT in Los Angeles,
and more in the Bay Area, and I¹m sure elsewhere, all with current
contemporary authors writing new pieces that
accompany/explain/describe/expand upon a film that is playing as they read.

[David Tetzlaff]

You might show Christopher Maclaine's The End as an example of the 
incorporation of Beat literary style in film. The soundtrack can be considered 
a reading of a work of Beat literature written specifically for the film. (And 
it's readily available on DVD.)

And very exciting answers too! Thank you everyone. Hopefully more
Frameworkers will contribute to this topic.

Bill, please feel free to expand on poetry works, would love to know your
favourite examples and I really dont mind if they arent recent.

[Gene Youngblood]

George Kuchar’s diary “Kingdom By the Sea” (2002) is structured around, and 
contains a “performance” of, Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “The Enigma.”

Re: [Frameworks] Literature and experimental film

[William Wees, Dr.]

There are dozens, no, hundreds of poetry films and poetry videos (or 
videopoems), which is to says, films and videos that incorporate poetry and 
poetic texts on the sound track or in the images or both. Perhaps that is not 
the sort of thing you are looking for, but if it is I could send you titles of 
some of my favourite examples-though I have to say they would not include 
recent work (I haven't paid any serious attention to poetry films/videos since 
the 1990s). The person who has paid attention to the whole development of 
poetry films/videos and has published a manifesto on the subject is Tom

Re: [Frameworks] Literature and experimental film

[Richard Deming]

One obvious move would be to look at compare/contrast the various versions of 
Fall of the House of Usher--Curtis Harrington, Watson, Epstein…and Corman.

But also Larry Jordan's HD Trilogy and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Richard

Hi Esperanza,



I think (most of) the work of Jem Cohen could be really enlightening seen in 
relationship to (again, most of) the work of Walter Benjamin, especially his 
travel and city notes.

I'd look at Sitney's Eyes Upside Down; it's a fascinating look at the American 
cinematic avant-garde in relation to the literary legacy of Emerson. I'm sure 
Scott MacDonald's work would be really helpful here too.


As far as specific films go, from the top of my head I would list Mekas' Walden 
(Thoreau), Brakhage's  Dante Quartet (Divine Comedy), and Marjorie Keller's The 
Answering Furrow (Virgil's Georgics).

Something else that might be worth considering is the relationship between 
David Foster Wallace and experimental film, though this is really a case of 
literature partly inspired by experimental film rather than the other way 
around. I'm currently working on a project tracing Infinite Jest's relationship 
to the avant-garde film tradition and I'd be happy to share some details off 
list.

This is a great topic and I'm eager to see what others suggest!

Hello,


I am doing my PhD research on Gregory Markopoulos. Markopoulos has based on 
ancient and modern literature in many of his films. For example, Psyche from 
his trilogy, The Illiac Passion, Twice a Man etc. Let me know if you need any 
more information. Good Luck!
