[Frameworks] Film language forests

[Jonathan Walley]

Hello Shumona,

A few recommendations, some of which are canonical so you may already know of them, or have already had them recommended to you:

Reassemblage (Trinh T. Minh-ha, 1982); also, her Naked Spaces: Living is Round (1985)

Les maîtres fous (Jean Rouch, 1955)

River Rites (Ben Russell, 2011)

Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti (Maya Deren, 1954)

Leviathan (Lucien Castaing-Taylor, 2012)

Las Hurdes: Land Without Bread (Luis Bunuel, 1933)

Your Day is My Night (Lynne Sachs, 2013)

Hide and Seek (Su Friedrich, 1996)

Poto and Cabengo (Jean-Pierre Gorin, 1980)

Unsere Afrikareise (Peter Kubelka, 1966)

George Kuchar’s weather diaries 

A lot of these are legitimately available on DVD, and many of those that aren’t (and several that are) can be glimpsed on YouTube and the like.

Best,
Jonathan
