[Frameworks] Conner/Marker and women of color suggestions

[Beebe, Roger W.]

I just saw An Ecstatic Experience by Ja’Tovia Gary for the second time last weekend at the Columbus Black International Film Festival & think it’s really doing interesting work with found footage:

Not a black woman, but equally worthy of attention is Christopher Harris’s “Reckless Eyeballing”:

As for composition & sequence, again not a black woman (just a woman), but I showed Katherin McInnis’s “Hat Trick” in my intro film production class to set up a flip book assignment this week, and I think the way she uses contact sheets of found images could be really interesting for both conversations:

And Jen Proctor’s remake of Bruce Conner’s “A Movie” is already becoming a classic of the genre (for the YouTube era):

Lots of non-white-dude options out there…

In a university production course have shown both Conner's  "A Movie" as a prompt for student found footage editing assignment and Marker's "La Jete" for photographic composition and sequencing.  I would be grateful for suggestions of short works by specifically women of  color that could be used as I mentioned above.
Many thanks,
David
