[Frameworks] Films about remediation

[Beebe, Roger W.]

Just had another thought about remediation, although one that moves in a slightly different direction than the previous posts.  I was thinking about the history of Kinescope recordings, where live TV would be shot on film off of a video monitor prior to the introduction of videotape (and, in certain circumstances and geographical regions, significantly after that as well).  I remember the first time I saw one of these films, I was confused by the feeling that there was an extra screen inside the screen.  (I think it was the slight reflection off the glass of the monitor that tipped me off.)  There are decades of such recordings out there, some fairly significant.  Not sure if this would fit in with your programming, but I still thought I'd share.

There's Hollis Frampton's TRAVELLING MATTE (1971), part of his HAPAX LEGOMENA suite. He filmed with a portapak and subsequently filmed the video with 16mm film: given the low light conditions created by Frampton's shooting through a "tube" made by his hand (his inversion of the traditional travelling matte) the "distortions" in the video and the graininess of the b&w film create a strange mixed texture.

Dear Frameworkers,

Does anyone have any suggestions of films that involve remediation of some sort? I'm thinking the fusion of analogue-digital (which I've posted about before so I have some titles already - Shambhavi Kaul's Scene 32, Thorsten Fleisch's Wound Footage, Jurgen Reble, Dietmar Brehm), but I'm also interested in earlier examples of one medium/format being contained within or reworked by another medium, for example Martine Rousset's Chants ​or Malcolm Le Grice's Little Dog For Roger. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks
Kim
