In light of this week’s post on Matthew J. Avant’s “found footage documentary” Lunopolis, it seems like fortuitous timing that Glenn Erickson over at DVD Savant has just passed on a couple of links dealing with Les documents interdits, a series of found-footage shorts by French filmmaker Jean-Teddy Filippe. For anyone who enjoys the form, this is a fascinating collection made for European broadcaster ARTE in 1989.
Kit MacFarlane’s article at PopMatters provides both a useful introduction to Filippe’s project and a thoughtful analysis of what found-footage is as a genre and how it works.
