Peter, I agree with Albert’s response that you probably don’t need the qualifier “experimental” in front of “essay film,” since the essay film as a form is already experimental (to greater or lesser degrees, and depending on what one means by experimental).
For a reading and list of makers, I’d take a look at the recent collection of essays by Nora Alter and Tim Corrigan, Essays on the Essay Film. I just finished teaching a class on the essay film and this book was an invaluable resource for us: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/essays-on-the-essay-film/9780231172677 Best, Roger From: FrameWorks <frameworks-boun...@jonasmekasfilms.com> on behalf of Péter Lichter <lichte...@gmail.com> Reply-To: "lichte...@gmail.com" <lichte...@gmail.com>, Experimental Film Discussion List <frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com> Date: Saturday, May 18, 2019 at 1:19 AM To: "frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com" <frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com> Subject: [Frameworks] experimental essay films and one other question Dear All, We have 2 quick questions for a longer essay on experimental cinema: 1. Bori's question: Can you recommend films or artists in the field of experimental essay film, after 2000 until today? 2. Péter's question: can you recommend books or articles on the institutional system of the contemporary experimental cinema? I know the books of Scott Macdonald and Malte Hagener on the institutions of classical/post-war avant-garde film, but I do not know anything about the contemporary situation. Thanks!
