[Frameworks] Avant-Garde cinema and war

[Kornelia Boczkowska]

Daniel Reeves’ Smothering Dreams (1981)

John Smith’s Hotel Diaries (2001-2007)

Also (though the war is not the main focus of these films):


Lynne Sachs’ Which Way is East: Notebooks from Vietnam (1994, made in 
collaboration with Dana Sachs) reflects on the historical trauma and 
memories associated with the Vietnam war


Martha Rosler’s Secrets from the Street: No Disclosure (1980) critiques 
(among many other things) covert war and the U.S. presence and military 
involvement in Central America
