[Frameworks] experimental documentary...

[Gene Youngblood]

Johan van der Keuken is at least as “experimental” as the distinguished group of makers Matt cites.

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!

  hello Frameworkers-

  I am hoping to find good texts and/or essays concerning experimental-documentaries.  I've been having a hard time finding much written about the sub-genre, so if anyone has some recommendations it would be much appreciated.

  Also, while on the subject- I am trying to create a list of feature length and noted short films that might be classified as experimental documentary and would love feedback on that as well.  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.


  thanks!
  -Matt
