Re: Experimental Remakes (& perfection)Owen Land partially remade Wavelength in aparodistic manner in the film we just showed. In fact, he's pastiched a bunch of experimental films.

Dear Frameworks,
today I lectured about insects in
experimental cinema and your responses and
your list of films helped me a
lot.

This urge to reify
the creative process by integrating and highlighting the source material seems
less homage and more retailing – redeploying the power of the original, with
implicit added value. (Of course it wouldn’t be retailing if it
remained in the private space, but the experimentalist generally seems unable
to work outside the public arena.) As for re-contextualization,
phoey. I liken this deceptive faux-word to the self-reflexive
modish verbal oeuvre of the rag-tag “studies lot”. The re- is
tautological, redundant and, interestingly, absurd, although the
‘repetition of meaning’ might, I suppose, be an
apt trope.
As for Wavelength
revisited, someone will get round to it, and sadly, think it’s a neat idea,
and others, sadly will agree; and so it goes.
Hope you and Jo are
settling-in OK.
Cheers

infrequently on Frameworks”) Woods

There have been experimental
re-makes of (such perfect) films as Lumiere’s Arroseur arrosé, (Malcolm Le Grice) GA
Smith’s Miller & the Sweep
(Jo Millett & myself) and others ....?. Both originals having been
plagiarised in the distant past.
This re-making or rather
re-contextualising is quite different to commercial re-making, which in fact
has a lot more in common with the nineteenth century plagiarists. If
Wavelength had been highly profitable then a digital re-make -
wide-screen, using CGI and shot across an expensive and trendy loft
space - would be the equivalent .
