This deluge of suggestions is incredible, thank you all so much. Just to narrow a bit, before researching these brilliant options (I know some postings included this information already for the short films), are any of the mentioned films (quasi) feature length, available both in print and on dvd (just in case)? The short films will be helpful for another project.
Thanks again.

Hollis Frampton, Works & Days
Hollis Frampton
Works and Days (1969) 16mm, black and white, silent, 12 min
Genre: Experimental
Keywords: Found Footage
N.B. All proceeds from the rental of this film will go to support
publication of the film-makers' coop catalogue. I bought this film in
a Canal Street junk shop for $1.00 and found myself in complete
agreement with it. The ostensible pretext is the humane and practical
discipline of making a vegetable garden (hence the title, borrowed
from Hesiod). The gardeners are masters of their art, so that their
work blossoms into overarching metaphor. I have attached my logo to
the film, not to claim it as a ready-made, but in the spirit of
Chinese connoisseurs who affixed their vermilion seals to paintings
as a mark of admiration.
Rental: $30.00
