yes, it's true very true roger, i was aware/nervous about this when i
sent it, that's why i put 'play well together.' i unfortunately don't
have enough time/resources to spend an entire class on various
performed camera-less films. the frampton brings up a huge range of
issues (among them sitting in the dark w/strangers) not only having to
do with the fact that it's camera-less and i was hoping to expand out
from there. i also like the idea of starting off with the idea of
reperformance (speaking in someone else's voice twice removed).
i guess i'm casting the net wide, looking for experiments in thinking
about film - i could also happily show a warhol in the mix (endurance/
movement/non-movement). again a question of accessibility and time
and framing.
