[Frameworks] Independent research- looking for recommendations

[Ugo Bo]

Your request reminds me of a beautiful programme: 'The body in
extremis', cured by Michael O' Pray, it was 1992, in Birmingham (GB),
and for me it was maybe my first great immersion in experimetal
cinema. I still have the leaflet (covered of tons of dust - cough
cough). The titles screened were:
Un chien andalou (Louis Bunuel)
Pas de deux (Norman McLaren)
Alone (Steve Dwoskin)
Window water baby moving (Stan Brackage)
Meditation on violenece (Maya Deren)
Coalface (Alberto Cavalcanti)
Chant d'amour (Jean Genet)
Kiss film (Birgit and Wilheim Hein)
Between (Claudia Schillinger)
Imaginary II (Moira Sweeney)
Descent of the Seductress (Jean Matthee)
Fuses (Carolee Schneeman)
The Ossuary (Jan Svankmajer)
Upstair Inside (Kathleen Maitlaind-Carter)
K (Jayne Parker)
Reel III 16/67 (Kurt Kren)
Dimension of Dialogue (Jan Svankmajer)
The act of seeing with one's own eyes (Stan Brakhage)
Mano destra (Cleo Uebelmann)
Kali film  (Birgit and Wilheim Hein)
Le sexe enrage (Roland Lethelm).

If you need it I can send you a pic of the program.

good luck
Livio
