Gary and deg, To add to the wordless doc list, from Bullfrog Films:
Translation Possible http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/trans.html Using a simple filmic device, this film illustrates (visually, without words) the disorientation we all feel on encountering a new culture, and the way we gradually learn to fit in. Flight of the Stone (Steinflug) http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/flight.html Witty pixilation follows a stone, thrown in anger, in its flight around the world. Wordless. Toast http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/t.html Wake Up, Freddy! http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/wuf.html Thanks, Elizabeth Bullfrog Films -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Deg Farrelly Sent: Monday, November 01, 2010 1:01 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance? Gary Assume you prefer feature films, but on the documentary side there is "Our Daily Bread" (Not the King Vidor title, but the documentary distributed by Icarus) Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming. Produced between October 2003 and October 2005 the film looks into the places where food is produced in European farms, greenhouses, processing plants and other places where crops and animals are cultivated and processed to become food for people. The images of food and animals treated as an industrial products are presented without comment. No dialogue, just the sounds of machines and ambient noise. -deg Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2010 09:05:53 -0700 I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets, dialogue, voiceover, etc. VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
