[Frameworks] Creative crisis in experimental cinema

[Simon Payne]

 Dear Albert,
I don't know about a creative crisis per se but here is a link to a recent piece YES/NO. https://vimeo.com/534327153/822d29911f
I must have had Kren's No Film at the back of my mind to some degree (and no doubt other films).Clearly it is a positive assertion re: cinema as much as a negation.
Best wishes,

 Hello Frameworkers,
Thinking about the work "No Film" by Kurt Kren I was wondering if there are some other films about creative crisis related to experimental cinema or artists' videos. 

It was a time when I was desperately unhappy that I wasn’t really doing anything, no more films. Wilhelm and Birgit Hein once took a photograph from a newspaper, saying that, although the image doesn’t move on the screen, it’s still film. I shot a few words – “No Film” – which don’t move either but are a film just the same. And so: no film. Question mark. (Kurt Kren) https://kurtkren.info/films-1977-96
In auteur cinema it is easy to think of titles like 8½ by Fellini. And in cinema focused on literature there are dozens of titles like Barton Fink or Adaptation to give two examples.
But what about avant-garde cinema and experimental film? Any suggestion will be appreciated .
Best,
