Many of William Raban's and John Smith's films are documentaries, more or less, of east London,

Dear Matt,

If you're thinking outside the US, I would also consider Artavazd Peleshyan, Mike Hoolboom, D'est by Akerman, some Godard, some Peter Mettler (love Petropolis, an abstract-greenpeace film), etc.
best wishes,

Dear Jason, Would be good to add Shirley Clarke, Chick Strand and Barbara Hammer to your inquiry list.

Best,

Hi Matt,

Two of the collections in the Visible Evidence series--'Feminism and Documentary' and 'Between the Sheets, in the Streets'--each have a couple of essays on experimental documentaries by Su Friedrich, Leslie Thornton, Michelle Citron, and others.

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
