[Frameworks] experimental documentary...

[Ruth Hayes]

Hi Matt,

If you're interested in experimental animation exploring non-fiction themes (I hesitate to call it "documentary" but others do) you could take a look at my vimeo page: Reign of the Dog: A Re-Visionist History (1994) and On Our Way (2011, currently password protected-but that is OOW2).

https://vimeo.com/31658076 (for On Our Way)

Also, there is a lot of discussion in the animation studies world about documentary animation currently.  See the following:

Of course there are a lot of animated "documentaries" that I don't really think are very "experimental" in nature, but that's another discussion....

Hope this helps!

I am thinking along the lines of films/makers such as Naomi Uman, Craig Baldwin, Bill Brown, Deborah Stratman, Lynne Sachs, Su Friedrich, etc, but also tempted to include films such as Nostalgia for the Light, Sweetgrass, Tarnation, etc- films made outside the experimental tradition but certainly swimming against the mainstream current.
