David Gatten made a series of films literally made out of text. I forget
what they are called.

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text

[mike rice]

Hollis Frampton has some great works revolving around the use of text. Some
that come immediately to mind: Gloria, Zorns Lemma, and Poetic Justice. As
far as works made by women, the first filmmaker I can think of is Su
Friedrich and her work film Gently Down the Stream, is a film which
involves a lot of text.

Hope this helps, Mike Rice

Kelly Egan not only uses text as image in her films but also on the
optical sound track as sound. CFMDC is her film distributor. But Kelly is
also on this list.

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text

[Stephen Broomer]

Joyce Wieland uses text prominently in several of her films: 1933, Reason Over 
Passion, Sailboat, Solidarity, Pierre Vallieres. Mike Rice mentioned Hollis 
Frampton -- Frampton collaborated on the alphabetical permutations of text of 
Wieland's Reason Over Passion.
There's a short chapter on text and film in Bruce Elder's book on Canadian 
experimental film, Image and Identity (1989), "The Relation of Text and Image: 
Postmodernist Strategies," 293-295. There he also mentions Patricia Gruben's 
The Central Character, and his own films 1857: Fool's Gold, Illuminated Texts, 
and Lamentations.

[Roger Wilson]

Hi Shelly,
I'm just finishing a 35mm film that is based on text taken from my Will, plus I 
wrote out my Will onto the unexposed film stock using light from a laser pen. 
All done in complete darkness. The film is titled My Last Words.
But if you are looking for mainly women filmmakers then I would defiantly 
recommend the already mentioned talented filmmaker Kelly Egan - Toronto 
filmmaker.

Roger D. Wilson613 324 - 7504rogerdwilson@sympatico.cahttp://www.rogerdwilson.ca
Without failure you can never achieve success. I have based my process and my 
career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it 
pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new.

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text

[Steve Polta]

About a month ago, San Francisco Cinematheque (in association with Litquake
[a "literary arts" festival] and the Canyon Cinema Foundation) presented a
screening (curated by me) of works on this very topic—"Films on the
Visualization of Text." I paste the promo text below and also offer this
link to our website:
http://www.sfcinematheque.org/screenings/the-word-my-dear-is-piecemeal-films-on-the-visualization-of-text/

Notably, Stephanie Barber has done a lot a lot of film/video work using
visualized text, including many of the works in her series *Jhanna and the
Rats of James Olds*. Nearly the entire filmography of David Gatten deals
with text as image and with the process of reading. Joyce Weiland is also a
good call that has been made. Jesse Malmed's recent work is also (in a way)
very much about visualized language and concrete poetry. See the link
below; a lot of his work is online.

Best,
Steve Polta
San Francisco Cinematheque

Presented as part of Litquake
2013,
San Francisco Cinematheque presents a screening of film/video works in
which written text is visualized and plasticized, explored and displayed.
Battering, caressing and seducing viewers/readers while exploring
syntactical forms (including poetic lyric, introspective essay,, journal,
harangue, laundry list, love letter and song), the seven film/video works
on this program form a thumbnail catalog of the diverse expressive
potentialities of language’s graphic notation displayed as light moving in
time. Screening: Jeanne
Liotta’s
*Dark Enough* (2011), a celestial contemplation, “a virtual proscenium
stage for the poetry to play itself upon,” a collaboration with poet Lisa
Gill; Stan Brakhage’s *I… Dreaming* (1988), a sound film visualizing the
lyrics of Stephen Foster; *Word Movie *(1966) by Paul
Sharits,
a radically flickering, optical/conceptual sound/text conflation, a
three-and-a-half minute word; Stephanie
Barber’s
*letters, notes* (2000) a melancholy compendium of lost correspondence and
found photography; David Gatten ’s silent love
letter *How to Conduct a Love Affair *(2007); Su
Friedrich’s
harrowing dream journal *Gently Down the Stream*, Jesse
Malmed’s
sound/image/data morass *Supernym *(2013) and a very rare screening of
Michael Snow’s 1982 epic monolithic film/text essay *So Is This*, a direct
confrontation/repudiation of the very notion of cinematic language itself*.*

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text

[Julie Perini]

Hi Shelly!

My few suggestions include the already mentioned Scott MacDonald book, Screen 
Writings, which includes some Hollis Frampton and Yoko Ono text-based work, 
among many other interesting artists.  Other suggestions include a few of my 
own projects: Several years ago I riffed off of Ono's Paintings to Be 
Constructed in Your Head by writing a self-published short volume called Videos 
to Be Constructed in Your Head.  I could send you that booklet if you like.  
And recently, for Experimental Film Fest Portland's installation exhibition in 
2013, I collaborated with artist Jodie Cavalier on a participatory piece, 
Uncertainty Principle, that invited people to contribute an "imaginary movie, 
conceptual video, or written film" by writing it on a little form we provided 
and sticking it to the cork board we had put on the wall. See images here. I've 
been working on this kind of thing in my teaching too - in my Low Tech Cinema 
course at PSU, the first unit explores "no tech" imaginary, written films.

Keep me posted on how your research develops!

Re: [Frameworks] films/videos using/made up of text

[Beebe, Roger]

In the same vein as Gently Down the Stream, you might take a look at Lauren 
Cook's Altitude Zero.  I do think Lauren's film (like Gently and many of the 
others listed) rely on IMAGES just as much as text.  It seems the list narrows 
considerably if you're thinking about films that are only textual (like Peter 
Rose's Secondary Currents), but even those films are not really "just" text, 
since they rely on a choice of typeface, a specific decision about where to 
place the text in the frame, etc.  Some of David Gatten's text-heavy films, for 
example, seem to me equally to be about typography and about the texture of the 
pages as much as they're about the words themselves.

great publication…old issues are a treasure trove




Some readings:


The book I used (actually more of a booklet) is Edward R. Tufte, The Cognitive 
Style of PowerPoint.  This might seem a little spendy but it is excellently 
produced in color and well worth the cover price.  Tufte is a brilliant thinker 
and innovator in the field of information graphics and design presentation, so 
you might look at his other books too.



There are various books on "motion graphics" which especially cover TV,

To a mention of "Secondary Currents' I'd also add "SpiritMatters", made by 
writing the script directly on celluloid and then refilming the strips and 
using them as subtitles.  It can be seen at

In the same vein as Gently Down the Stream, you might take a look at Lauren 
Cook's Altitude Zero.  I do think Lauren's film (like Gently and many of the 
others listed) rely on IMAGES just as much as text.  It seems the list narrows 
considerably if you're thinking about films that are only textual (like Peter 
Rose's Secondary Currents), but even those films are not really "just" text, 
since they rely on a choice of typeface, a specific decision about where to 
place the text in the frame, etc.  Some of David Gatten's text-heavy films, for 
example, seem to me equally to be about typography and about the texture of the 
pages as much as they're about the words themselves.

Well, why not?  I will promote my new piece since I am excited to show it, jeje.

"On the Road by Jack Kerouac" is the re-writing on Kerouac's scroll onto 35mm 
film using a typewriter.  There are several versions, here's the positive one:

There's my movie: A Self-Referential Film in 30 Sentences, which is (mostly) 
all text.
