Re: [Frameworks] film undone series
Joan,
The film that immediately came to my mind is Robert Nelson's Bleu Shut ('71).
It begins by announcing that it will be exactly 30 minutes long, putting a
clock in the corner of the screen that stays there for the duration. It
actually runs to about 34 minutes; in the final scene, Nelson, in negative,
speaks into the camera about his intentions for making the film, but has
difficulty articulating his thoughts, in part because he claims to keep hearing
a strange noise from the camera. In the midst of Nelson trying to deal with
this, the film ends unexpectedly. Hilarious and brilliant film, and certainly
lacking a logical ending.
Hope to get to Bloomington to see this!
Best,
Jonathan

We're having trouble locating Nan or getting permission to use the slides--
so my first question
is that-- does anyone know how to contact her or her representative?
The second question is do you have ideas for other pieces (we have Warhol's
screen-tests; we showed Decasia last year
but might revisit parts of it). thanks-- Joan

Hey Joan,Jonathan's suggestion of BLEU SHUT is a good one. There's also FLAMING CREATURES.

David Larcher's videos are very discursive very open-ended: they don't conclude, on the contrary. Most of Morgan Fisher's films, especially ( ) and Projection instructions.
