[Frameworks] Fantastic Focus on Experimental Filmmaking On BBC Talking Movies

[nicky.hamlyn at talktalk.net]

Sorry to spoil the mood, but the first programme's a really bad mash up, eg clips from Berlin Horse overlaid with the music track from Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract. All but one of the so-called artist filmmakers discussed in the UK section are those who have crossed over to more or less big budget, more or less feature-film making; Steve McQueen, Clio Barnard, Ben Rivers. None of the clips is dated, so there's no way one could get a sense of chronology, let alone history. I realise there's a limit to how much can be achieved in 12 minutes, but even so. Despite the calculatedly un-patronising attitude of the presenter, the programme seems to have been tailored to the assumption, shared with the TV audience, that real filmmaking is really feature filmmaking.

Nicky.

Here’s a link to one of them, not requiring Facebook, focusing on England:
http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20140829-are-experimental-films-elitist

And the overall webpage
http://www.bbc.com/culture/tv/talking-movies

But the one on the Film-makers Coop and Indian films doesn’t seem to be on that page yet.

If you love experimental/avantgarde filmmaking, you'll eat up these two episodes focused on its history! Unfortunately, it's only available on Facebook, on BBC Talking Movies page, under videos, so I suspect you'll need a FB account (or maybe not). The episodes are the first two on the top left. Great stuff! Big shout out to Film-Maker's Cooperative in NYC, in the second episode. That's M.M Serra, its Executive Director, in the stacks.
