	Experimental film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Experimental film [or "experimental cinema"] is a term used to describe a range of filmmaking styles that are concerned with avant garde approaches to film making.
		Many film scholars have argued that experimental film to be one of the major modes of filmmaking, along with the narrative film, the documentary film and the animation film.
		Though experimental film is known to a relatively small number of practitioners, academics and connoisseurs, it has influenced and continues to influence cinematography, visual effects and editing.

	Experimental Film (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the first song on their 2004 album The Spine and that album's first single.
		The song's lyrics are a satire of avant-garde cinema, and its perceived tendency toward a meaninglessness and pomposity.
		The video itself is a parody of experimental films and is ostensibly "directed" by Strong Sad and The Cheat.

	Photographs in Haunted Rooms: The Found Home Experimental Film and Merilee Bennett's A Song of Air
		Although aspects and examples of post-war American experimental cinema are central to the practice and historiography of both the home experimental film and its 'found' footage counterpart, my analysis focuses upon several works produced in Australia from the 1970s onwards that are deeply indebted to this movement.
		Most of the films I am examining in this essay are concerned with the recontextualisation of images produced in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, images produced by the families of the filmmaker or, as in the case of Stan Brakhage and the home experimental film in general, by the filmmaker themselves.
		Her found home experimental film, A Song of Air, is both an attack on the generational and gendered nature of auteurism and an investigation of the deeper 'rumblings' she discovers in her father's movies, such as the similarities between her filmmaking practice and that of her father.

	U B U W E B - Film & Video: Toshio Matsumoto
		He kindly wrote that from the silence of the stones as a symbol of death, to the beating of the pulse of life, The Song of Stones was the most refreshing film at that film festival and one he supported.
		Films that startle and arouse self-awareness of that kind of internal distortion change the condition of cinema itself–this I think is art’s form of struggle against authority.
		In that sense, there is an immeasurable significance to the fact not just film, but the 1960s avant-garde art movement in general impelled the de-systemization of artistic expression, artists, viewers, and the visual culture system as a whole, including the condition of initially being completely unaware of responsibility for the war that I first problematized.

	The General Post Office Film Unit
		Many critics believe that this body of films is Britain's greatest contribution to film theory and that John Grierson, the founder of the documentary movement, is 'the father of documentary'.
		The transfer of the EMB to the GPO film unit was followed by the acquisition of larger premises and of an inferior British Visatone system for sound recording as well as the appointment of Alberto Cavalcanti (1934), whose contribution was enormous especially in the fields of sound and editing.
		The most interesting unity of films made during the middle years of the unit were usually shot on lower budgets than the films in previous categories and included a variety of experiments in dramatic construction and in the use of sound.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Uchida Tomu: Blood Spear, Mt. Fuji
		Chiba goes on to speculate that the domination of films concerning romantic love during the first half of the decade reflects popular discontent with the lack of freedom to pursue romantic love in culture.
		Tomu’s choice of the song for the film's conclusion harks back to his previous enthusiasm for militarism and his respect for Amakasu, a man of action who died in his arms upholding the samurai ethic.
		Nevertheless, the film seems to suggest that, though the feudal frame may be flawed, the violence at the center of the samurai ethic of chugi (samurai loyalty) is an object worthy of conflicted respect if considered within the wider frame of sober criticism of the entire feudal system.

	FILM and VIDEO CATALOG - Avant-Garde works by Al Razutis
		Films like these broke new ground in the experimental film 70's because the film-video 'hybrid' tended to violate that 'special insularity' that both film and video artists of that time enjoyed.
		The exposition and form of the film is closely tied to the tradition of cine-structural poems which foreground the materials of the medium (light, dark, form as shadow-projection of the cinematic apparatus).
		Using alternations between positive and negative, the film chronicles the "coming to life" (of the apparatus) and the resulting action/movement and documentation of events - encompassing incidents (the near mishaps), human expectations (the arrival at the station), and human spectacle(the destruction of the trains, the station in chaos).

	Film Society of Lincoln Center
		I was his assistant on the film but the production also hired a real first assistant, a tough guy who made all the call sheets and stuff, but who had to hide from Dusan.
		Making a film had to be, not a personal experience, but an experience for the crew and the actors, something we would go through together.
		I have always felt that your films were very difficult for me, maybe because I tend to be rational despite being drawn to the poetic or imaginative work.

	Harvard Film Archive: Being Michael Snow
		Winner of the Grand Prize at the Fourth International Experimental Film Festival at Knokke-le-Zoute in 1967 and highly influential in its time, Wavelength masterfully conducts us through a filmic exploration of the phenomenology of space and time as it manages to encapsulate both the artist’s autobiography and the aesthetic zeitgeist of its era.
		In capturing the impact of Snow’s celebrated film Wavelength, filmmaker Teri Wehn-Damisch inverts that work’s formal process, beginning with a narrow field and ending with seven screens and a grand piano with the artist in performance.
		In between, as the frame widens, we are taken on a journey largely narrated by Snow himself: through his diverse works in still photography, cinema, and film-related forms that demonstrate the artist’s formal mastery and aesthetic evolution.

		There are three films to a trilogy." After that I wanted to do something different, and from film school my two favorite genres were the screwball comedy and the couple-on-the run film.
		The film comes from me putting myself in their place, thinking about the kind of emotional ramifications of their situation.
		The film doesn’t really focus on the homoerotic elements, except when they are forced to kiss and it becomes somewhat tantalizing – which is a kind of reversal of the usual two lesbians kissing for a guy.

		It's not the pigments he used "in his last films" that caused his cancer, but the pigments based on coal tar dyes he used for much of his career.
		While calling both films "stridently political" is a subjective judgment, I regard it as a major misrepresentation of both films' form and content, as I believe Brakhage would have.
