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

Tue Jul 23 15:40:21 UTC 2019

James Herbert’s Automan (1988, 20 min.) might be an interesting addition stressing ‘automobility.’

Intriguing program.

Hi Bryan,
I'm now working on a three-year, grant-funded post-doctoral project on road movie and travelogue forms in avant-garde and experimental film. Eric, many thanks for recommending my research!
Below please find a selection of films that follow and/or ideally experiment with some of the (mainstream) genre's conventions as proposed by Laderman and other scholars - just skip the titles that have been already mentioned. And feel free to contact me off list if you're interested in the details of my project.
Good luck with your program,
Kornelia

Hello all, I am in the process of building a program that looks at automobility and road movies from an experimental perspective... wondering if anyone has suggestions about artists' films that study this topic... 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.

thanks everyone

Great art has always gone to the masses, to their hopes and dreams, for that spark that kindled their souls. The rest, "the many, all too many" as Nietzsche called mediocrity, have been mere commodities that can be bought with money, cheap glory, or social position.
- Emma Goldman
