>From another UK perspective, might also want to look into a trio of films
that Christopher Petit (often credited as just Chris Petit) did with Iain
Sinclair in the 90s for Channel 4, as well as 'Content', his recent work

Channel 4.
It's probably geoblocked, but in the UK you can watch 'Content' here:
