I would certainly add Marie Menken to this names.  It is so important nowadays in the world of selfies and Go-Pro footage we find in the web.

The problem with this list, as is often the case, is that women filmmakers are written out of the 'canon'. Please include Maya Deren! (as per Vicky Smith's post)

Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it is to start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and select exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage), minimalist (Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include Brakhage’s lens-captured films in the problematic “abstract."

Dear Frameworkers:

I am working on a new film project with the Ealaíontóirí Mhuscraí 

(that's Irish for the Muskerry Region Artists Group) 

Part of the project will involve film / video making workshops where I will show

them works from experimental film, creative documentary and artists' moving image works

as a point of reference and inspiration for their own initial explorations

into the realm of the moving image

I am compiling a short-list of 'Essential' works to show them during these workshops 

and I would appreciate responses to the question:

'What are the 3 Essential Films that you would show Artists 

on their first foray into the Moving Image Realm ?'

I look forward to hearing any suggestions

Le míle buíochas (with many thanks)
