Péter Forgács' _Wittgenstein Tractatus_ springs to mind.

Hi all,

Can you recommend to me any experimental, avant-garde films that examine key works/thinkers of Western continental or analytical philosophy?

The type of film I'm interested in is not a film that can be analyzed through a philosophical lens, but rather one in which a philosophical text makes some kind of direct appearance (through a quotation, intertitle, etc.) For instance, one example might be the 16mm film Valley Fever by Stephanie Beroes, 1986, which features a woman reading lengthy excerpts from Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological thought.

I am currently working on a list of experimental films united by a common interest in visualizing philosophical texts.  Alas, this subfield is not my main area of expertise, so your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
Ben
