    Found Footage Is Not a Used Car, by Bill Nichols

    Found footage films speak to me afresh, offering unexpected perspectives and new insights, often by using the most pedestrian or trivial of found footage material within which much more meaning resides than meets the eye.

    An honor to have on board one of the most revered theorist as our guest author.

    Found Footage Magazine issue #7: Special on Christoph Girardet & Matthias Müller

    Their approaches to found footage, at once likeminded and singular, have served Christoph Girardet and Matthias Müller well since 1999, during which time the two of them have collaborated on nearly thirty films and photographic works. Varied metaphors and modes of inquiry have been used to analyze their oeuvre: to some, Girardet and Müller provide a “suggestive continuum,” exposing the patterns of light and darkness, absence and presence, by which cinema operates; to others, the filmmakers dissect the body of film history and of the cinematic apparatus, suggesting the moving image as a corporeal grouping of skin, guts, brains, and bones to pick apart.

  • Gustav Deutsch: Not Home. Picturing the Foreign Films 1990-2015

    Over the past half-century, two tendencies have dominated independent, artisanal filmmaking. One of these is the fascination with the material artifacts of cinema´s history: it is often called »found-footage filmmaking« and sometimes »recycled cinema«. Filmmakers working in this vein are often archeologists of cinema, aesthetically and/or ideologically engaging with the work of earlier generations of filmmakers of all kinds.

  • Binghamton Babylon: Voices from the Cinema Department, 1967-1977

    In Binghamton Babylon, Scott M. MacDonald documents one of the crucial moments in the history of cinema studies: the emergence of a cinema department at what was then the State University of New York at Binghamton (now Binghamton University) between 1967 and 1977. The department brought together a group of faculty and students who not only produced a remarkable body of films and videos but went on to invigorate the American media scene for the next half-century.
