Question: We have been exploring abstract animation from the perspectives of "visual music," "absolute film," "direct/cameraless animation," "universal language," "untutored vision," and more. In this post, I'd like you to select one of these modalities (though I understand that in some cases they overlap) and reflect on your experiences watching one film/filmmaker. You can talk about any aspect of your experience you'd like, but here are some thoughts to consider...

. What drew you to (or conversely repelled you from) their work?

. Were there particular formal/aesthetic elements or even guiding philosophies that captured your attention?

. Does the film live up to the guiding principles/philosophies of the filmmaker and/or their movement (i.e. "universal language," "untutored vision," etc.? Why or why not?

. When it comes to abstract animation does historical/cultural/political context matter? Should we care about and/or is it important to understand the philosophies of the movement or institution within which the film was made? Or about the experiences of the artist with regards to current events, the traumas of war, gender discrimination, etc.? Do these things matter more (or less?) when the animation is abstract (as opposed to narrative-driven) Is your experience of a given film affected by this kind of contextualizing information? Or does it have no bearing on the viewing experience?
