Hi Aaron It would be worth looking at English experimental filmmakers working with landscape in the 70s-80s - William Raban, Jo Millett, Chris Welsby and Malcolm LeGrice etc. all figure - as landscape painting (impressionism in particular) was frequently cited. To claim direct influence is difficult but when working with landscape imagery it is impossible to not be aware of Turner's work and influence cannot be denied. The book/catalogue "A Perspective on English Avant-Garde Film: A Touring Exhibition" and the Landscape edition of Undercut magazine give a good survey of that period. I can also acknowledge both Turner and Monet in my own film "Preservation" which uses the steam from steam trains to bleach-out the image while exploring representations of speed and fluctuations of light.
