Bruce Connor: A Movie 1958 + Jennifer Proctor: A Movie by Jen Proctor (2010) 11.36

Connor’s breakthrough 1958 film is considered a classic ‘database film’ (Lev Manovich) - a film about film and film-making - appropriating clips, including structural leaders - a strictly formalist or Structural-Materialist approach to film-making. These are characterised by a focus on technique and the film process itself -treating film-making in the same way that avant grade composers were exploring soundscapes, ambient and random aural compositions at this time.
