Experimental Filmmaking and Punk: Feminist Audio Visual Culture in the 1970s and 1980s

Autor Dr Rachel Garfield
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 noi 2021
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.

Recenzii

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.
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.
