[Frameworks] Travelogues

[Gawthrop, Rob]

Chris Garrett’s Romantic Italy is made from a travelogue.

Maybe I've got my Larcher confused but I think the footage you (Nicky) refer to is actually a citation from one (both?) of the earlier films (MARE'S TALE; MONKEY'S BIRTHDAY).

Larcher's EETC (1986) is also a kind of travelogue. At least, it was made on the road, and there are shots of his bus, plus him processing film in a Morse tank, walking about etc. It's a great example of film-video hybridity too,

Philip Hoffman's The Road Ended At the Beach (1983) and Somewhere Between Jalostotitlan and Encarnacion (1984) are strong films and his Passing Through/Torn Formations (1988) might be appropriate.
Also Hollis Frampton's Ordinary Matter (1972) is a kind of metaphysical travelogue that spans the Brooklyn Bridge and Stonehenge.

Rumored to be the ultimate in long-form ruminative experimental travelogues are MARE'S TALE (1969, 160 min.) and/or THE MONKEY'S BIRTHDAY (1975, 360 min.), both by David Larcher.

Hello you,
I am trying to pull together a list of experimental films that either fall directly under the category of "travelogue" or bear witness to travel and distance from a point of origin on the part of the filmmaker. These would not be so much ethnographic works which are part of a sustained cultural exchange, but films made as a result of the filmmaker "passing through" and acknowledging the looming spectre/problem/pleasure of "the tourist film". Warren Sonbert, perhaps John Smith's "The Hotel Diaries"? I'm sure there are others...but can you name them?

Thanks/Grazie/Kiitos!
