book		Experimental filmmaking and punk : feminist audio visual culture in the 1970s and 1980s / Rachel Garfield London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2022. Call No: 771-02 GAR Author: Garfield, Rachel Edition: 2021 Place: London Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic PubDate: 2022 PhysDes: xiv, 274 pages : illustrated ; 24 cm Subject: CHILD, ABIGAIL; DICK, VIVIENNE; BENNING, SADIE; THORNTON, LESLIE; WOMEN FILMMAKERS; NIGHTCLEANERS (UK, Berwick Street Film Collective, 1975); BORN IN FLAMES (US, Lizzie Borden, 1983); RIDDLES OF THE SPHINX (UK, Laura Mulvey & Peter Wollen, 1977) Summary: Just as punk created a space for bands such as the Slits and Poly Styrene to challenge 1970s norms of femininity, through a transgressive, strident new female-ness, it also provoked experimental feminist film makers to initiate a parallel, lens-based challenge to patriarchal modes of film making. In this book, Rachel Garfield breaks new ground in exploring the rebellious, feminist punk audio-visual culture of the 1970s, tracing its roots and its legacies. In their filmmaking and their performed personae, film and video artists such as Vivienne Dick, Sandra Lahire, Betzy Bromberg, Ruth Novaczek, Sadie Benning, Leslie Thornton, Abigail Child and Anne Robinson offered a powerful, deliberately awkward alternative to hegemonic conformist femininity, creating a new “punk audio visual aesthetic”. A vital aspect of our vibrant contemporary digital audio visual culture, Garfield argues, can be traced back to the techniques and forms of these feminist pioneers, who like their musical contemporaries worked in a pre-digital, analogue modality that nevertheless influenced the emergent digital audio visual culture of the 1990s and 2000s. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781350293083 Contents: Introduction -- 1.

book		Remembrance and the moving image / Ross Gibson (ed.) Melbourne, Australia: Australian Centre for the Moving Image, 2003. Call No: 175 REM CorpAuthor: Australian Centre for the Moving Image Place: Melbourne, Australia Publisher: Australian Centre for the Moving Image PubDate: 2003 PhysDes: 22 cm; 151 pp Subject: AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR THE MOVING IMAGE [ACMI]; BENNING, SADIE; MARKER, CHRIS; SOKUROV, ALEKSANDR; SEN, IVAN; VIDEO ART; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS Summary: Memory works in a myriad ways: it can trick, it can go missing, it can confuse, and it can lay claim to undiscovered truths. The moving image has taken a wondrous path through memory over the last century. With the increasing creative potential of digital technologies, filmmakers and artists can express a multitude of parallel memories at once. This collection of works is not so much about what we remember, but how we remember through the moving image. Remembrance and the Moving Image is the first in a series of publications dedicated to the Exhibition Collection of the ACMI.
