Dear Connie: Michael Snow's films are generally engaged in all sorts of shenanigans. When Hollis Frampton "dies" in front of the zooming camera, and refuses to stop to find out what's going on, that's pretty funny. However, the one that I like the best is This is the Title of This Film, which is a

At the risk (certainty) of blowing my own horn I'd suggest that my upcoming show at Anthology might fit into the rubric of "humorous". On May 30th I'll be showing "Secondary Currents" (often shown in tandem with Snow's "So Is This"), SpiritMatters, Babel, and Pressures of the Text, among other

"Sour Death Balls" (Jessica Yu) is hysterical. I don't know if it would technically qualify as "experimental," but it is funny as hell. Same goes for "FaerieFilm," by Eugene Salandra, which I think hews closer to being experimental, certainly impressive. An awesome experimental film classic "Ta

I'm all for droll humor, but I wouldn't call Wavelength a laugh riot. It's a long wait before Hollis shows up. I think there's a lot of humor in Frampton, especially Hapax Legomena 1-3 [(nostalgia), Critical Mass, Poetic Justice) but it's subtle, and tickles the back of your brain more than boin
