Structural Film is the name that has been attached to some of the work produced by members of the London Filmmakers’ Co-op in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Modernist rather than post-Modern, it broadly combines analysis of the structuring of perception with an exploration of film’s material components – Tate Britain.
A simple structuralist film where the editing process – the change of speed, direction, repetition, jump cuts, residual sound and color shifts – become the film-time and the film-image. Stripped bare, a re-filmed and deconstructed fragment allows the simple act of chasing after a scarf in the wind to build into a visual score.
