Hanhardt, John G.
"Film image/electronic image: the construction of abstraction, 1960-1990." Visible Language v 29 no2 [1995]. p. 138-59
"John Hanhardt interrogates the interrelation between video art and the history of abstraction during our century. His thesis is that a specific body of film and video works has explored the issue of abstraction as a means to define their respective media. This has been done, Hanhardt points out, "by choosing the basic temporality of the moving image and the material basis of the image itself as sires for an epistemological inquiry into the viewing experience, thus exploring the perceptual transaction between spectator and text." Whereas critics like Kuspit and Jameson have seen video as marking an epistemic break with modernism, Hanhardt shows some of the fundamental interconnections between video art and the history of avant-garde abstractionism, for example, as reflected in the work of experimental film-makers like Stan Brakhage."

"The writer presents his reinterpretation of the artistic phenomena that composed historical avant-garde art. He uses a method of interpretation that approaches the historical artifacts, such as structural film and collective work, through recent phenomena. He proposes three steps in the evolution of the 20th-century concept of joint creative work: avant-garde general strategies of artistic collaboration, avant-garde film works oriented toward creative collectivism, and collaborative artistic practices that manifest themselves in nonhierarchical strategies of contemporary interactive art."

"The writer analyzes the use of music and sound in Australian experimental cinema from the 1960s to the present. The writer distinguishes six aesthetic categories: film as backdrop to live music, live music as backdrop to film, prerecorded music as a "bed" for images, images as a "bed" for prerecorded music, disjunction between image and sound, and image-sound fusion. He addresses a debate over the effects of musical rhythm in cinema." [Art Index]

The Avant-Garde Cinema of the 1920s: Connections to Futurism, Precisionism, and Suprematism Leonardo, Vol. 17, No. 2. (1984), pp. 108-112.
UC users only
Three of Cubism's derivatives--Futurism, Precisionism, Suprematism--played important roles in shaping the avant-garde cinema of the 1920s. Overshadowed by Dada and Surrealism, however, these Cubistrooted movements have rarely been discussed from this perspective. In this article, the varied, modernistic qualities and concerns of Futurism, Precisionism and Suprematism are discussed and their likely influences on the development of the avant-garde cinema are examined.

"When analog cinema becomes digital memory." Wide Angle v 21 no1 1999. p. 180-204
"Part of a special issue on the relation of digital media to the memory of cinema. A number of film and video artists have probed the terrain bridging early- and late-20th-century techno-social transitions. The move to digital media marks a site of convergence for so-called experimental/avant-garde film and video. As both film and tape become technical anachronisms, their memory and legacy open the door for a second reading, and the positioning of the viewer becomes significant as changing operation systems structure inscribed memories differently in the retrieval and fabrication of memorable events. For example, media artist Peter D'Agostino's cybernetic installation VR/RV: a Recreational Vehicle in Virtual Reality examines the video-to-virtual reality genesis and the geography of representation inscribed by this transition. Filmmaker Ken Jacobs's analytical study of an old short film titled Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son reinvents the cinema, revisiting its origins and probing the boundary between fascination and meaning."

"Part of a special issue devoted to the notion of borders as addressed by contemporary art. A discussion of the recent documentary work of Chantal Akerman. In this work, Akerman's attention to gender, cultural, and historical difference is always explored through aesthetic means, therefore providing a fruitful alternative to the rhetoric of ethnographic film as conceived within documentary realism's framework. Through her hyperbolic use of formal devices, Akerman is able to effect and extend the film medium's materiality to the subjects and objects both in and outside her films. Her experimental ethnographic projects are informed by her placing of film's materiality at the service of referentiality--thereby enacting a division within her practice between the material and the referential, the literal and the symbolic, the indexical and the abstract. The writer goes on to discuss Akerman's ethnographic projects D'Est (1993), a film shot in Germany, Poland, and Russia; and De l'autre cote</EM%> (2002), a film shot on both sides of the Mexican-American border."

"The writer discusses issues of displaced memory and indirect Jewish identity in Chantal Akerman's 1996 film D'Est (From the East). The Holocaust created a distinct and traumatic before and after for generations of post-Holocaust Jews. The effect for Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern European descent is that "the old country" becomes an imaginary construct with no actual geographical correlate. In D 'Est, in which she goes "back" to Eastern Europe, the region where her parents lived until World War II, Akerman attempts to reach across the divide while simultaneously conceding the futility of the gesture. Not only is her method indirect but her memory is as well; it is in effect her mother's memory that weighs on Akerman as if it were her own. The writer shows how, with this appropriation of another's memory, there is an extended sense of self at work that challenges commonly held conceptualizations of individual memory as well as any narrow definition of autobiography."

"Filmmaker Chantal Akerman's 1998 exhibition in New York, NY, offers a glimpse of her experimentation with cinema as well as her intimate vision. Her installation combined video quotations from the films 'Jeanne Dielman,' '1080 Bruxelles,' '23 Quai du Commerce' and 'D'Est,' with a novella-length text entitled 'A Family in Brussels, 1998' functioning as an ambient voice-over. Akerman's cinematography was compelling due to its reliance on attenuated movement and muted color." [Expanded Academic Index]

"Cliches of Identity: Chantal Akerman's Musicals." Quarterly Review of Film and Video v. 24 no. 1 (2007) p. 11-17
"Chantal Akerman's 1986 musical Window Shopping is discussed. This film is set in an indoor shopping mall where everything is about display and appearances, and where its characters work and play, sing and dance, and, above all, gossip and flirt, their behavior conforming to stereotypes of romance and retail sales alike. It suggests an equation between deadpan postmodern irony, the ubiquitous commodification of all forms of self-expression, and the conventional nature of the signs that represent our feelings both to others and, perhaps most crucially, to ourselves. This point is already made in Akerman's 1983 film The Eighties, which she made as a sort of demo tape for it, and which contains many sequences that correspond closely to the ones in it, albeit to a very different effect: The earlier film illustrates the process of construction of feelings and roles, and this one shows those feelings and roles already constructed."

"Intervals of Inner Flight: Chantal Akerman's News from Home." Screen, vol. 45, no. 3, pp. 190-205, Fall 2004.
" The writer engages in a Deleuzian reading of Chantal Akerman's film News From Home (1976). The film is a 90-minute image-track comprising a series of mostly static shots of New York City, never showing the mother-daughter relationship alluded to in the letters that Akerman recites in voiceover. Stephen Heath, in his Questions of Cinema, reads the film in terms of absence based on its lack of sutures using a shot/reverse-shot sequence or central character. Equally, feminist-influenced readings of the film tend to imprison it in a stereotypical psychoanalytic interpretation based around the dichotomy of intimacy and claustrophobia of the mother-daughter relationship. In contrast, it is possible to read Heath's emphasis on absence through a Deleuzian framework to answer Heath's "impossible question of a woman's desire" with the actuality of affective sensations whose movement liberates the spectator from the constraints of identification."

"La captive." Cahiers du Cinema no. 550 (October 2000) p. 14-17, 19
"A review of La Captive, a film by Chantal Akerman. An adaptation of Proust's La Prisonniere, this film represents and dramatizes Simon's obsession with Ariane. Akerman approaches the film via an unpredictable and roundabout route, by way of Hitchcock and Kubrick but above through the modes of modern cinema of the 1970s, the accents of which can be seen in the interaction of the actors, the choice of sequence shots, and the real-life representation of frontality and violence. The fascination of the film comes, among other things, from the miraculous balance of all its parts." [Art Index]

"Proust regained." [C. Akerman's film, La captive based on M. Proust's La prisonniere]. Film Comment v. 36 no. 4 (July/August 2000) p. 61
"Chantal Akerman's La Captive completely respects and engages with the spirit of the novel it is based on, which more than makes up for it not being literally faithful. The film is a free update of Marcel Proust's The Prisoner, generally regarded as the least adaptable section of Remembrance of Things Past. Akerman has changed the names of the two main characters, and viewers unfamiliar with Proust's work could leave the film without suspecting its origins. To make an extreme simplification, The Prisoner is a novel in which nothing happens, or in which something is happening but the reader never knows exactly what. Instead of attempting to fill the novel's deliberate gaps, Akerman seizes on them to proffer her unique poetic vision." [Art Index]

Delorme, S.
"La captive." Cahiers du Cinema no. 550 (October 2000) p. 20-1
" The writer discusses the influences on Chantal Akerman's film La Captive. This film is almost a thriller, and its dramatic mise en scene of obsession and wandering recalls Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. It deviates significantly from the novel by Proust, La Prisonniere, from which it is adapted. Through this work, Akerman has shown that adaptation is not a translation but a montage." [Art Index]

Vincendeau, G.
"La Captive." Sight & Sound v. ns11 no. 5 (May 2001) p. 45

"Akerman's Proust adaptation is made more difficult by her choice of one of his most difficult volumes, setting it in the present, and filming it in her trademark minimalist style. While her film obsessively pursues the "mystery" of lesbian desire, she keeps Proust's male viewpoint and only offers ambiguous answers. The characters are reduced to ciphers, which is reflected in dull performances." [Art Index]

"John Hanhardt interrogates the interrelation between video art and the history of abstraction during our century. His thesis is that a specific body of film and video works has explored the issue of abstraction as a means to define their respective media. This has been done, Hanhardt points out, "by choosing the basic temporality of the moving image and the material basis of the image itself as sires for an epistemological inquiry into the viewing experience, thus exploring the perceptual transaction between spectator and text." Whereas critics like Kuspit and Jameson have seen video as marking an epistemic break with modernism, Hanhardt shows some of the fundamental interconnections between video art and the history of avant-garde abstractionism, for example, as reflected in the work of experimental film-makers like Stan Brakhage."

"Thoughts on Birth and Brakhage." Camera Obscura no. 64 (2007) p. 194-6
"Part of a special section presenting an archive for the future of feminism, culture, and media. Lynne Sachs, a maker and teacher of avant-garde film, reflects on the impact of Stan Brakhage's short film Window Water Baby Moving (1962). Explaining that the film shows startling imagery of Brakhage's wife Jane's labor and at-home delivery of their first-born baby, she discusses the passionate, even vitriolic reaction that this film always creates in her classes, and asserts that it reveals to her an ever-evolving cultural fascination with birth and the body. She considers how her own work addresses similar issues about the representation of women in film and the relationship that exists between the camera and the body. For the Archive for the Future, she proposes a list of possible lecture topics one might give in conjunction with the screening of Brakhage's film, as a vehicle by which to ponder the last 40 years of American cultural history."

"A tribute to filmmaker Stan Brakhage, who died on March 9, 2003, aged 70. Brakhage, who released up to 12 new works every year for 50 years without a break, virtually came up with and singularly dominated the characteristic genre of American avant-garde cinema: the crisis film, that lyric articulation of the filmmaker's mode and observations, following a rhythmical association of images without a predetermined scenario or enacted drama."

Steve Anker, a critic, curator who served as artistic director of the San Francisco Cinematheque, discusses about St an Brakhage's work and his contribution to experimental cinema. He states that thinking of Stan's death as the 'end of an era' overstates the importance that he or any single individual can have to the activity sometimes called avant-grade or experimental cinema.
