Recenzii
Girls to the front! Garfield's book places female filmmakers at the forefront of experimental film and video. Reclaiming the energy of punk, DIY, deflation, the kitchen table aesthetic and the amateur to enthuse a new generation of filmmakers, where the emphasis is on making and being heard rather than slick production values and aspiring to mainstream monotony. Oh bondage! Up yours! I wish I'd had this book growing up.
Densely research, fiercely argued, Garfield's book goes a good way toward toggling our view of punk and No Wave film toward the exhilaration of feminist autonomy.
Experimental Filmmaking and Punk is the rare study that not only captures subcultural counter-histories (in this case, of music and film) but traces social, political, and aesthetic interconnections that have never fully been acknowledged, simultaneously offering a completely new way of thinking about life and creativity in this place and time.
Garfield writes a new lineage of experimental film, convincingly rendering the filmmakers' shared stance of "oppositional modernism". Celebrating edgy incompleteness, rhythm rather than plot, multiplicity instead of unity, DIY instead of glossy production values, Garfield sides with the heady, messy and personal.
Experimental Filmmaking and Punk restores complexity and nuance to an inspiring body of work that has, until now, been under-known and under-valued. Rachel Garfield draws on her deep knowledge of the punk movement to shed light on a generation of important yet marginalised female filmmakers. Exploring the impact of punk's anti-authoritarian spirit, she discusses how women refused gender norms in 'art' as well as 'life.' The DIY and kitchen table aesthetics described here are bound to resonate with the prosumer tactics of contemporary artists and cultural producers.
Rachel Garfield searches out the scuzzy filmic scenarios, kitchen table aesthetics and DIY approaches that characterise the "punk films" of overlooked feminist artists in the 1970s and 1980s. In doing so, Experimental Filmmaking and Punk convinces us to look beyond the avant-garde milieux of the day and instead towards punk rock to understand why these women made the films they did. Whilst not forgetting the importance of pioneering filmmakers that came before, Garfield shows how punk exemplars of gender non-conformity like Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex and Ari Up of The Slits demonstrated a riotous new ethic of self-fashioning for feminist filmmaking. As Styrene herself sang: "Anti-art was the start"!
In her joining of the dots between the key subject matter and the 'contextualising scaffold' of punk, as well as her situating of the filmmakers' art practices within the wider economic, cultural and political contexts, Garfield's work is a thoroughly informative, entertaining and riveting book.
