[Frameworks] Experimental films using Astronomy & Satellite imagery - recommendations

[Justin Mackenzie]

Hello Adam,


I'm thinking of the series Spaceship Earth by the director Nicolas Gessner.


You can see all of the episodes here on youtube :

Man I love this! Biggups to Ubah and Wynn for bringing it back to me! There are a total of 52 episodes, one for each week of Earths rotation around the Sun ...





Good luck on your project,

Justin

Hi Adam,

i made an experimental doc '540 nanometers' on the topic in 2012.

Erth John Latham UK 1971
"A journey from outer space to the centre of the world, in which consciousness itself is revealed as a form sedimented history. With distant views of the approaching Earth punctuated by black and silence, light years are compressed into a cosmic imaginary." Lux

Moon 69 Scott Bartlett 1969
"Moon 1969 is a beautiful, eerie, haunting film, all the more wonderful for the fact we do not once see the moon: only the manifestation of its powers here on earth, the ebb and flow of the waters.. fiery rainbows into a cloudy sky... men and rockets transformed into shattering crystals... creating a picture if the cosmos in continual transformation."-- Gene Youngblood

I'm working on programming a series around a theme of earth satellites &
astronomy, for a museum that is doing an exhibition linked to JPL (Jet
Propulsion Lab - the people behind our space probes, etc)

This is supposed to be a more mainstream series, and there will be some
Hollywood sci-fi features as part of it, so we're not going too far out
(so to speak).

But I'm looking for recommendations of experimental films that somehow
involve/invoke astronomical imagery, or, perhaps even better, imagery of
earth-orbiting satellites, and views of earth from satellites.  I hope to
run one in front of each feature, or have one evening of them.

I am thinking of:
Films by Semiconductor ­ Brilliant Noise; Black Rain
Films by Jeanne Liotta
Films by Jordan Belson ­ Allures; Samadhi (1967); Cosmos (1969); World
(1970)


I have already been through Robert Haller's booklet on his series
"Universe" but I think I am not going to stretch this series to include
his time or other science-based films.  We're sticking with astronomy and
satellites.

Additional suggestions, please?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Adam
