I suspect Arnulf Rainer is excluded because it's abstract, my assumption being based on Gidal's critique of Sharits., ie, the viewer can fantasise 'into' blank colour frames just as much as they can falsely identify with a character in a movie. Some of Gidal's own films, eg Room Film 1973, use

Dave, thanks for these speculations, which are helpful and not even wrongheaded. 1. I wholly except and will use your revision: not "structuralist/materialist films by women" but "films by women relevant to the debates around structuralists and structuralist/materialist cinema." 2. Yes, Gidal

I've been thinking, about the original query from John Muse in light of the follow-up query about Michelson, doing some wild-ass speculating. Mark's post (he certainly knows WAY more about this than I do) suggests my imaginings are at least not grossly inconsistent with known facts. And my

Hi John, I was the one asking the one question at the event with Peter Gidal at the Southbank. One of my colleagues at LUX was meant to record the conversation but something went wrong and for some reason the recording is empty, so we were actually talking about it this very same morning and

Thanks, Jonathan. Right, to his credit, Gidal "curates" in the conflict with Snow over "Back and Forth." Love that. The Michelson excerpt includes the line that seems to offend him most: "Snow has re-defined filmic space as that of action." Strange that he doesn't include the exchange of

Can someone briefly explain--or point me to resources that explain--how it is that in 1976 Peter Gidal can include Annette Michelson's June 1971 Artforum piece "Towards Snow" in his Structural Film Anthology when in the September 1971 issue of Artforum he excoriates her and this piece in
