[Frameworks] uncanny and experimental cinema

[Kornelia Boczkowska]

Hi Péter,

When I was working on my own publications that link the uncanny to 
experimental filmmaking (partly based on Mark Fisher’s theory of the 
weird and the eerie - see below), I’ve never come across anything that 
would specifically and exclusively discuss the relationship between the 
two. However, there are sections of larger publications that analyze 
selected works/concepts through the lens of the unheimlich, e.g.

Kamila Kuc, 2016, Visions of Avant-Garde Film: Polish Cinematic 
Experiments from Expressionism to Constructivism – photogénie and the 
uncanny (p. 95)

Patricia Mellencamp, 1995, Indiscretions: Avant-Garde Film, Video, and 
Feminism - Un Chien Andalou and the uncanny (p. 35)

Jeffrey Skoller, 2005, Shadows, Specters, Shards: Making History in 
Avant-garde Film – Chile, la memoria obstinada and the uncanny (p. 159)

Susannah Gent, 2016, The neuroscientific uncanny: an investigation into 
the limits of scientific metod (unpublished) – a psychoanalytical and 
neurological perspective

I also have two forthcoming publications on how the uncanny connects to 
avant-garde film, but the focus is very narrow, so I’m not sure if it is 
of your interest. If so, please let me know.

“Dwellers That Do Not Belong, Dwellings That No Longer Exist: Staging 
Hotel Interiors and (Unhomely) Domesticity in Experimental Documentary 
Film.” In Home Cultures: The Journal of Architecture, Design and 
Domestic Space, vol. 17, 2020

“Between Preservation and Disintegration in Decayed Cinema: The Uncanny 
and the Weird of the Sublime Archival Image in Hollis Frampton’s 
(nostalgia) and Bill Morrison’s Decasia.” In N. Carroll, ed. The 
Cinematic Sublime: Negative Pleasures, Structuring Absences. Intellect, 2020
