Possibly Brakhage's Blue Moses (1960) might fit what you're looking for, or in 
another way, Made Manifest (1980)

Subject: [Frameworks] The Participatory Camera 

Hi Frameworkers, 

Sorry to hit the list with one of those periodic crowd-sourcing requests, but 
I'm curious if anyone can recommend experimental films from the 1960s-80s, 
especially overlooked or under-appreciated, where the camera could be said to 
"participate" in the actions depicted, rather than simply to "observe." I 
understand that these distinctions are not so black-and-white, and, construed 
broadly, any instance of shooting film could be called "participatory." But I'm 
thinking more of examples like Carolee Schneemann's FUSES, where the camera is 
integrated into Carolee and Tenney's sexual life, and they pass it back and 
forth; or Brakhage's WEDLOCK HOUSE: AN INTERCOURSE, where Stan & Jane pass the 
camera back-and-forth during an argument. CHRISTMAS ON EARTH is another 
candidate. Anyone have similar examples of 
camera-sharing/participation/interaction with the instrument, however you want 
to construe such a thing? 

Thanks for your assistance! 

best, 
John
