[Frameworks] Exemplary Sound Design in AG Film

[owen at thenowcorporation.com]

Here are some I've screened in the past and they have been very well received. 
Ed Emshwiller's  thanatopsis is a perfect film for this class, thrilling.  I would add Scott Bartlett's films. He used sound in very powerful ways in all his work. moon1969 and Offon and Serpent
and Metanomen. Also, Time of the locust-Peter Gessner (1966) great use of sound powerful film. Great use of sound in Harmonica, 1970, 10 1/2 min., Larry Gottheim.
bruce conner-cosmic ray.(1961-2) 4 min.(sound)b&w. And Mary Ellen Bute-polkagraph.(1953)6 min(sound)color. And Dirt, 1971, 3 min.,Amy Greenfield

They are very great films, in my view but not in everyone's, with great soundtracks that do not meet your criteria, but they are not "strictly intellectual" either -- far from it. Made with minimal means, they might seem amateurish to someone who hated them.
