Ah!  Thanks for this tale.  I'll share it with students.

I like this film; not what I expect from Viola; nice to see this.

The cable wrapped around the fan until it wouldn’t rotate any more, then he reversed the direction of the fan and video’d until it wrapped up again. He hung the camera so that the orbit wouldn’t be a perfect circle. He put the microphone in a trash can so the voices sound distant.

It’s a mess overall, but it does have some very inventive circular camera moves, all the more interesting for the way they’re edited. One scene alternates rapidly between 360-degree dollies and pans in one space, something I hadn’t seen before.

Here’s a list of films that were displayed:  “Another room in Fassbinder – JETZT is dedicated to one of Fassbinder’s favoured formal techniques: the 360 degree tracking shot. Scenes from Rio das Mortes (1970), World on a Wire(1973), Martha (1973), Chinese Roulette (1976), Berlin Alexanderplatz (1979/80), and Querelle (1982) play on a loop on a hanging screen.”
