[Frameworks] experimental documentary

[Amanda Christie]

I like to use examples of Phil Hoffman's films when teaching  
experimental documentary.   "O,Zoo?!" is one of my favourites, but  
"What these Ashes Wanted" is also another great one.  They're  
distributed by the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre.

There is also a book about him and his work that was edited by Mike  
Hoolboom and Karyn Sandlos with essays by several Canadian  
filmmakers.  it's called "Landscape with Shipwreck:  First Person  
Cinema and the Films of Philip Hoffman"
The Canadian Film Institute has also recently put out a book on  
Hoffman's films called "Rivers of Time: a Retrospective of the Films  
of Philip Hoffman"
