[Frameworks] Cameraless film in the university

[Beebe, Roger W.]

Albert,

I’ve taught a cameraless filmmaking class every few years for the last decade or so at two large public universities in the US (the University of Florida and Ohio State University).  That class is definitely not industry-oriented—it’s an end in itself (i.e., fully in the experimental film tradition).  I have also taught it as a one- or two-week module in other classes, usually just to give students a sense of film material.

I don’t know how widely spread this practice is, but my sense is there are enough folks like me situated at public universities who sneak this in in one way or another.

Best,
Roger

Subject: [Frameworks] Cameraless film in the university

Hello,

Does anyone know if cameraless film is a common subject at university?

I am investigating the role of cameraless film in the studies of Fine Arts and Media Studies.

Most of cameraless film workshops are organized by art centers, alternative spaces or private film schools but i wonder the role it has within the university.

Is it taught as a technique that can be applied in the audiovisual industry (such as video clips, advertisements, fiction animated films, etc.) or as a line to develop artistic projects or personal film developments?

Would be great to know personal experiences concerning teaching this animation technique related to experimental cinema.

Best,
Albert
