There are no three possible to represent the entire world of experimental film.
But for women, you might want to start with Suspense by Lois Weber and Philip Smalley. It's extremely experimental for the year it was made. And with Shirley Clarke, having seen all of them now about two dozen times each over the past six years, I know that BRIDGES-GO-ROUND is everybody's favorite but I would say MOMENT IN LOVE is mine. Seeing her outtakes and notebooks, it's the one she worked the hardest to create and I love the work of choreographer Anna Sokolow. Also, we are just starting to show D. A. Pennebaker and Shirley Clarke's BRUSSELS LOOP films (there were also four or five other filmmakers involved) and they are really incredible up on the screen. But especially for artists, it's almost impossible not to include the best of experimental film without my favorite, which is BEGONE DULL CARE by Norman McLaren (and Evelyn Lambert) and it's tough to show him without the best of Len Lye. Also in mind with artists, and for more collaborations between man and a woman, you can't really go wrong with Alexeieff and Parker pin animation.
