Have you considered the the use of the "accidents" of aging, deteriorating film? I'm thinking, for example, of Peggy Ahwesh's "The Color of Love" and Bill Morrison's "Decasia." There's also the final segment of Peter Delpuet's "Lyrical Nitrate."

Hello all,

I'm looking for films or videos that would qualify as "plan b"s:
created out of an original project's unintended circumstances or
mistakes. Right now I have "Sherman's March," "Far From Poland," and
"Lost in La Mancha" on the list, but I'm interested in more
experimental works. Lab mistakes, exposure problems, glitches or
performances gone awry... Any suggestions? It's for a class I'm
teaching.

Thank you!

Vera
