You might want to look at Jean Vigo's Taris,
roi de l'eau (1931) (aka Jean Taris, Swimming Champion) -
beautiful, as one might expect. In more recent history, Robert Nelson's
More (1971/1999) is a truly amazing auto-ethnographic film
featuring an amateur softball game (with great sideburns) as its central
dramatic/comedic action.

Hello all,
I'm setting up a program for The Experimental
Film/Video Series at Woodland Pattern Book Center here in Milwaukee and was
wondering if anyone has some titles to suggest.
This program will address
the question: What does a marginalized cultural force (underground and avant
garde film/video) have to say about a dominant mainstream cultural force
(competitive sport)? I began to think about art and sport after hearing
a story in which the director of athletics at Princeton suggested that sport
be made a topic for academic study, and that to study athletics is no
different than studying other performative art forms. He received, along
with the journalist reporting the story, many hostile
reactions.
I am looking for short works that reference
mainstream competitive sport in any way, even if they don't seem to relate to
this general question.
sincerely,
Sarah Buccheri
