[Frameworks] 40 years of VHS - short video recommendations?

[Stephen Broomer]

Hi Richard,

Christine Lucy Latimer has used VHS to make some very interesting work dealing with the format's aesthetic character.

The Pool comes to mind -- https://vimeo.com/32115389

I screened this work about three years ago and seem to remember her entrusting me with an exhibition copy on a shiny red VHS tape.

40 years of experimental VHS.

We're working on a programme of shorts, aiming to celebrate the 40th anniversary of VHS. I would love to hear some recommendations for both early canonical and more recent works that deal in specific and contrasting ways with the experimental possibilities of the medium.

I do appreciate that this question is too big, for a 90m screening, and a bit like asking if anyone knows any good experimental films...  but if anyone feels like suggesting a few starting points, it would be most appreciated.

Very best,
