I feel like Bruce Conner's White Rose has so many of the right elements of an elegy.

Does it work as elegy, for you to decide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dadi7mw5gCs [https://www.bing.com/th?id=OVP.LFJAvlFUqDkfYu6ZsrSL1gEsDh&pid=Api]<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dadi7mw5gCs> Necrology (Standish Lawder, 1970)<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dadi7mw5gCs> www.youtube.com Necrology (Standish Lawder, 1970) When we had a memorial screening for Brakhage, we included Passage Through: A Ritual (1990, 16mm, color/ sound, 50min) And also Brakhage’s Panels for the Walls of Heaven is really lovely (2002, color, silent, 31 min.) Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive. And Kitch’s Last Meal, by Carolee Schneemann, (1976, 55 min.), perhaps. Hard to know what will work as consolation.

At AgX, we sometimes hold a salon for members. The theme of our next will be elegies. What filmic examples of elegies do you know? The Poetry Foundation defines an elegy as: "In traditional English poetry, it is often a melancholy poem that laments its subject’s death but ends in consolation."
