> Dear all,
>
> I would appreciate any suggestions of films and videos using collage
> structure in the context of political work. I'm thinking of a great
> video by the Brazilian artist Tadeu Jungle, Herois da Decadensia (1987),
> which incorporates parallel tracks of political documentary,
> street performance art, Surrealist-inspired imagery, and other items.
> Though its elements are wildly divergent, it coheres into a kind of
> "collage narrative." It struck me that Makaveyev's WR: Mysteries of the
> Organism and Sweet Movie both work in this fashion, as does Rivette's Out
> 1, with its parallel conspiracy narrative and documentary footage of
> theater groups in rehearsal.
>
> Can anyone think of other work in this mode? Works that cut between
> divergent events and sections, to create a whole? I'm especially interested
> in knowing of short works, but anything that comes to mind would be useful.
> I've always been fascinated by this kind of work.
>
> I'm thinking of this "genre" as distinct from the found footage collage
> tradition exemplified by Bruce Conner's A MOVIE, since the above works were
> all shot by the filmmakers. Nevertheless, suggestions that frustrate this
> divide are also welcome. Many thanks.
