I love the humorous/anarchic line in experimental cinema. George Kuchar's video diaries - there are over 200 - are often very funny. I suggest the brilliant Precious Products - when I showed it in February the audience howled at some of George's asides. Robert Nelson of course. His great quote

There's a difference between funny, where you laugh out loud, and humorous, where you smile inside. Experimental film/video is almost always the latter. One consistent exception is George Kuchar. I would argue that the man who is the subject of his diaries is not only the funniest human being

Don't forget British artist Bruce Lacey, who's work is currently being restored at the BFI and screened and released on DVD in July! His early 60s 'British Rubbish' themed films make you smile inside, despite/because of their ascerbic political bite. And the Lacey Rituals (1973) - a kind of

From a British perspective, I'd certainly second the suggestions of John Smith and Bruce Lacey, and probably add Ian Bourn, who is but one of many British moving image artists with a very definite humorous streak. In terms of contemporary stuff I'd also add Nathaniel Mellors. I can't believe I

Scott Coleman Miller's Uso Justo(2005) was a riot when it first came out. It's a self-ironic restructuring of an old Mexican b/w film, in which the actors find themselves auditioning for an experimental film. Matt McCormick's Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal (2002) also swept through the
