Subject: [Frameworks] The eye in experimental cinema

Hello Frameworkers,
I am currently embarked on designing an installation the draws on cinematic instances of the human eye and, as I write about it, I'm interested in finding examples of the eye as a major symbolic device, particularly in the realm of experimental and avant-garde cinema. I can think up a couple of examples...Man With The Movie Camera, for instance, or Un Chien Andalou, but I'd be happy to hear of other such appearances.
If it helps narrow the (admittedly broad) field, of particular interest are examples where the eye is used to refer to the cinematic apparatus itself, or the camera's voyeur qualities.
Thanks in advance!
Ryder
