[Frameworks] Deserts and experimental film

[Kornelia Boczkowska]

You may have a look at:

Visions in Meditation #2: Mesa Verde (Stan Brakhage, 1989)

Deseret (James Benning, 1995)

Arizona Byways (George Kuchar, 2001)

On The Line (Cathy Lee Crane, 2010)

Desert Road (Peter Kouroumalis, 2014)

You and I Remain (Kate McCabe, 2015)

HWY:: An American Pastoral (Jim Morrison, 1969)

Mauve Desert: A CD-ROM Translation (Adriene Jenik, 1997)

Lost Oasis (Liza Béar, 1982)

I've never come across any texts that specifically reflect on the 
relationship between the desert and experimental film and video, but you 
can consider consulting the folllowing sources that comment more broadly 
on how the desert landscape functions in art and film:

Jasper, David. The Sacred Desert: Religion, Literature, Art, and 
Culture. Blackwell Publishing, 2004.

Sykes, Brad. Terror in the Desert: Dark Cinema of the American 
Southwest. McFarland, 2018.

Byford, Chris. "The Garden of Light: Images of the Desert in Film." 
Public, vol. 18, 1999.

Best regards,

Kornelia
