This term I have been attending the 'Alternative History of Film and Video' Lectures and have come across some interesting video work already:
This video by Bjorn Melhus, is quite ambiguous in its theme, were not really sure what is going on when watching it, but it seemed to draw me in, I got the idea of aliens from it, or travelling down a blood stream. I liked the song also and how bizarre it is along with the costume and everything else. What we were discussing in the lecture is how to talk about film and how do we make sense of experimental film.
This piece is by John Smith and is called 'Girl chewing gum', I liked the idea that it is filming in a documentary style but has been narrated with a director as if he is directing the whole thing, and as we watch it we begin to realise how this is not the case as the things he directs get more ridiculous.
