Re: [Frameworks] films using ancient Greek themes, etc.

[Mani Mazinani]

A little late to the party...
...However, a couple of my works may be interesting to the Caryn and the
list.

Both of these are video works, but they are single-channel and designed for
cinema presentation, so they'd fit with a film screening scenario.

*Scalene*, 2008
This work uses a text of Aristotle's excerpted from his (fragmentarily
extant) "Protrepticus".  The work stars Michael Snow, who reads the
Aristotle text in the original Greek.

*Screen Scene*, 2011
The piece incorporates two separate Plato excerpts dealing with a theory of
vision.  The actual text is appears in the context of the work.

Thanks and if you follow the links and view the work, your thoughts are
welcome! m...@manimazinani.net.


Best,
Mani


PS>  Speaking of Michael Snow, his *So Is This* (1982) quotes Plato's
*Phaedrus*.

Hi Caryn I have a short film at Canyon Cinema entitled Delaware Park in
Buffalo made circa 1968. I shot it while tripping on lsd and is a travel
through the Park ending up at the Albright Knox Museum. The sound track has
Ed Sander's singing "A Hymn to Sappho"  in Ancient Greek from the Fugs LP
entitled "It Crawled into My Hands, Honest".

I know it is on the "edge" of what you are looking for, however, it may
just work.

On the experiment side, certainly a few selected films by Gregory Markopoulos.

Dear Frameworkers,

For a program I’ll be co-teaching at The Evergreen State College next winter 
and spring quarters, I’m looking for short experimental and/or narrative films 
that use Greek literature, themes, philosophy and mythology as an inspiration 
or point of departure.  [Our program, called THE EPIC AND THE EVERYDAY, 
combines ancient Greek literature and media production.]  I’ve used feature 
films in a past iteration of this program (e.g. O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? and 
LANDSCAPE IN THE MIST), but I’d like to mix in more short work, since I will be 
teaching media production as part of this program and students will be making 
short work.  Films utilizing found footage would be especially useful.  (The

context.)  Happily, I will have a little bit of a budget to rent 
or—preferably—buy the work for our campus library.  Thank you for you

Re: [Frameworks] films using ancient Greek themes, etc.

[Fred Camper]

One obvious suggestion is Brakhage's /Visions in Meditation #3: Plato's 
Cave/.


Another is Hollis Frampton's /Works and Days/, a found film that he 
signed as his own and titled after a Hesiod poem.


There are also several relevant feature=-length films by Straub/Huillet

I sincerely hope your students will be required to read some of the 
great Greek texts seriously, and not just as an adjunct to media production.

[Frameworks] films using ancient Greek themes, etc.

[Caryn Cline]

Dear Frameworkers,



For a program I’ll be co-teaching at The Evergreen State College next
winter and spring quarters, I’m looking for short experimental and/or
narrative films that use Greek literature, themes, philosophy and mythology
as an inspiration or point of departure.  [Our program, called THE EPIC AND
THE EVERYDAY, combines ancient Greek literature and media production.]
I’ve used feature films in a past iteration of this program (e.g. O BROTHER
WHERE ART THOU? and LANDSCAPE IN THE MIST), but I’d like to mix in more
short work, since I will be teaching media production as part of this
program and students will be making short work.  Films utilizing found
footage would be especially useful.  (The last time I taught this program,
I used some of Jay Rosenblatt’s work in this context.)  Happily, I will
have a little bit of a budget to rent or—preferably—buy the work for our
campus library.  Thank you for you suggestions.
