[Frameworks] suggestions for experimental road movies and/or experimental films about automobility

[Ruth Hayes]

Hi Bryan,

Eric Martin’s USA Film, 1976, would be worth seeking out. He shot a frame every sixth of a mile from Boston to DC, to Monument Valley, to SF. The soundtrack is radio reporting of the Watergate Hearings, as I recall. Eric may still be on the faculty at Cal Arts, or reachable through them. Or the film may be in the Harvard Film Archives.

Titles and links would be preferable and I am open to both historic and current works - if you have made something along these lines I would be happy to have the opportunity to view such films/videos as well.
