Assignment: 6 credits for 100% participation (Wednesday Ponrepo screening included!) + journal with commentary (3 pages)

As the primary focus of this class is analysis based on the direct experience of projected works, attendance is mandatory. Students must keep a JOURNAL of experimental films they see, both in class and outside. This should include sufficient information to convince me that you have seen the films, plus commentary indicating that some of what you have seen has given you some thoughts. Plagiarism from the internet is not acceptable and will result in failure and ridicule. These are due (e-mail to jitka.hejtmanova@famu.cz) by March 15, 2013.

Poznámka:

HENRY HILLS (http://www.henryhills.com/)

a 2009 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow, has been making dense, intensely rhythmic experimental films since 1975. Owing to a

personal involvement in film scenes in San Francisco in the 70´s & 80´s & in New York from the 80´s to the present, and his activities as a curator, he has a personal relationship with almost all the major figures in the Experimental Film movement. He is intimate with the evolving concerns and thus can present a first-hand history, both anecdotal and theoretical. His own work, which seeks abstraction within sharply-focused naturalistic imagery, the eternal within the temporal, and the ethereal within the mundane, promotes an active ttentiveness through a relentlessly concentrated montage. He brings a long association with various other art scenes as well, including „language“ poetry, the „downtown“ mprovised music scene, and post-Judson postmodern dance. His work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, was included in the Whitney Museum „The American Century: Art and Culture 1900-2000“ program, and screened in last year´s New York and San Francisco film festivals. A DVD of his 5 selected 16mm films is available on Tzadik (http://www.tzadik.com/) and his feature-length theater document JOHN ZORN/RICHARD FOREMAN - ASTRONOME - A NIGHT AT THE OPERA has just been released (also Tzadik). He is currently working on a multi-screen HD installation based on footage shot on his train commute between Vienna and Prague.
