SITAC The Tired Frame
Directors
The benchmark of a new kind of subjectivity. Since its origin, film is one of the few fields in which the linear narrative has always been contested. Filmmakers as well as artists have examined the experimental potentiality of the moving image through various formats, in museums, theaters, cinema, and the internet. Why does the prevailing model for experimental film continue to be rooted in a discourse of non-narrative or modernist european cinema? At this juncture, are other paths possible—not only other models of storytelling, other nationalities, other histories—but other modalities of thinking that move beyond this tired frame?
