History Replayed: The Found Footage Film
Panel Discussion
29th October 2004 at 6.15pm
NFT2, London Film Festival
From archive documentary and home movies to Hollywood, the current
re-appropriation of existing film material by film-makers such as Yervant
Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi or Mike Hoolboom points to a diverse range
of interests and intentions when it comes to re-using other peoples films.
But can they really be called found footage films and what are the
implications for the narrative film when an entire feature is made from
someone else¹s material? Does found footage film offer fruitful ways of
exploring collective and personal histories or is it just a misappropriation
of other filmmakers material?
The diversity of films in this year¹s festival which make use of archive and
movie material provides a rich context in which to address these, and other
questions, concerning the nature of the found footage film. Curator Lisa Le
Feuvre and film theorist Rachel Moore are joined by the filmmakers Thom
Anderson and Eugeni Bonet to debate these questions and discuss with the
audience the reasons why they, and other filmmakers, choose to work with
appropriated footage.
