This book has been a useful resource to point us in the direction of films and filmmakers that we will look into further (particularly Nina Menkes and Abigail Child). It has also been useful in giving us techniques and characteristics of experimental and avant-garde film that we are excited to play around with. Here are some things that interest us:
idea of rearranging perception and experience
conducing and provoking eperience
film acting as a spell that tries to change reality
non-linear, non naturalistic, challenging subject matter, obtrusive camera work, unconventional editing patterns, long takes to look like photography, repetition, collage, surrealism, fragmentation, hand-held camera, first person perspective
stunning visual adventures!
the question: to what extent should identity be understood as malleable
the violence of desire
relationship of the body and audience
revealing the dimensions of experience not evident in photographed imagery
subject not being frozen in specific gaze
