I’ve been following these posts hoping that there would, sooner or later,
be some mention of actual films.


Perhaps the “old masters” like Man Ray, Len Lye, and Brakhage don’t need
special mention, but, before closing the thread, it would be great to see
some recommendations of a few cameraless films worth trying to see.


Any suggestions ?
