[Frameworks] Film production courses for installation and expanded cinema?

[Beebe, Roger W.]

Joel,

I taught an expanded cinema class several years ago, and as part of that course we had both theatrical events and a student gallery show.  I gave them readings from Incite #4—I remember the Recoder/Gibson thing seemed to open up some possibilities for them.  I challenged them to think about the difference of the white cube from the black box—thinking about the different way time works, questions about sound, etc.  Almost all of the students were film (rather than art) students, so for a lot of them it was a real challenge to make work for installation, but I still felt like there were a handful of really interesting projects that came out of that general challenge.

Best,
Roger

Fellow frameworkers,

For those of you who teach filmmaking, I’m curious to know if you cover the making of film/video installation works to be shown in a gallery setting, or the creation of expanded cinema projection-performance work in any of your courses?

Is it an option within a more general filmmaking course, where students might choose this for a final presentation of work? Or perhaps a more specialized course, where all of the students make moving image installation pieces?

I ask this because of some technical resources I’m preparing, and I’m curious to know the degree to which gallery work is being created as part of a film curriculum (or filmmaking is incorporated into a fine arts program, as the case may be).

Please feel free to write me off the list if you so choose, or share your response if you think it may be of interest to others here. Thanks.

Best,
