Thanks, Rob.
Do you happen to know if there is US distributor for any of these
works (esp. on 16mm)? I was able to find Lemaitre's early work at
Light Cone, but the rental + shipping would be prohibitively
expensive.
Best,
Madison

Not on topic, but related: There's a way in which certain uncontrolled
practices of film bear witness to "authenticity," as when reportage, think
especially wartime footage, reflects the direct effect of the depicted events
on the materiality of the film: the shake, unexpected light flare, etc.
A couple of Croatian films I saw recently:
- Termites by Milan Samec (1963) was made spiling developer over the film
strip, creating random stains over it.
- In Zlatko Hajdler's performance piece 'Kariokinesis' (1965) the artist
slowed down the projector's speed so the film was burned by the lamp.
The other Lettristes Maurice Lemaitre Guy Debord etc. Obviously Jeff Keen.
Margaret Tait did a few experiements in the 50s and 60s.

This is pre-1945 obviously and not "experimental" as such, but worth
mentioning anyway as a classic precursor to this practice; the opening
newsreel scene in Citizen Kane (1941) was physically scratched and
manipulated by the editor dragging the film along the floor to give it
the look of a well-wo

at least one or two by Brakhage in the 1950s but I don't remember which
ones.

Raphael Montañez Ortiz's films are pretty destructive found-footage afairs.
"Golf" uses hole punches. "Cowboy and 'Indian' Film" and "Newsreel" subject
found footage to random recutting "with a tomahawk (per Ortiz's description,
although one suspects a proper splicer was used). All those film
Fellow Frameworkers,
Does anyone have suggestions for films 1945-1962 that create film
imagery in a destructive way? e.g. scratching, bleaching, hole
punching, etc.
I am thinking of works such as Isadore Isou's Venom and Eternity
(1951), less of Len Lye's Free Radicals (1958).
