Experimental film research

Recently I have been looking at experimental film artists from the 20th and 21st century. I looked at John smiths 'Girl chewing gum' and 'Black Tower'. Additionally, from the two I preferred 'Black Tower', the use of the metaphorical and abstract narrative created very strong mystery as I was aware there was a black tower but Smith only gave hints as to what it may represent instead of being direct.

Another artist was John Aconfrah; I looked at his movie 'purple' which was different as he used multiple screens to show multiple aspects of his abstract topic. Each screen told the same story but in briefly different ways. 

I looked at Merie Menken and her video 'Glimpse Of The Garden' Which was an intresting video exploring elements of a garden, zooming into different coloured plants, water ,plant pots and with strong bird sounds.

Afterwards, I watched 'Stellar' and 'The Wonder Ring' by Stan Brakhage, Overall I favoured 'Stellar' more. This is probably because it intrigued my own interest with space and stars.
