Shelly,
 
does it have to be experimental?
 
if not, try Peeping Tom, by Michael Powell.

dear all:
i'm putting together several classes that deal with power - different
varieties of power relations between those filmed and those doing the filming.
this could be extreme (or less extreme) interactions where the
filmmaker/cameraperson has power (most typical) or where it's firmly in the
hands of the people being filmed. This power can come through the presence of
the camera, through verbal interaction, or anything else.

I'm most interested in those cases which would make the audience feel
uneasy/queasy watching.

suggestions?

best!
