I seem to recall Amy Halpern telling me that although she hasn't released DVD/digital versions of her work, there are transfers made in most cases. You might try contacting her directly through her website to find out at amyhalpern.com.
I would suggest COLLEEN FITZGIBBON's 1975 film RESTORING THE APPEARANCE TO ORDER IN 12 MIN as one that documents a ritual of self-care, in this case the methodical scrubbing of a filthy sink in her art studio. You can view an excerpt here: https://vimeo.com/21020445 Strangely...I might also suggest Hollis Frampton's NOSTALGIA as an accessible experimental film dealing with transformation, memory, and ritual...if not exactly self-care. Depending on where how expansive you are with your definition of self-care (to include mourning, for instance) and ritual (the replacement of a community ritual with a personal one), I might suggest my 2007 Super 8 film APOSTATE UNVEILING (3 min), viewable here: https://vimeo.com/37219050 Jason Halprin [email protected] jasonhalprin.com <[email protected]> On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 11:38 AM Christian LEBRAT < [email protected]> wrote: > Most of Brakhage films... > > Le 12/12/2019 à 17:26, Francisco Torres a écrit : > > most of Ken Jacobs films... > > > > 2019-12-12 12:15 GMT-04:00, Scott Dorsey <[email protected]>: > >> First of all, this is a metafilm, some hollywood propaganda, and it is > >> not meditative at all, but it is a thing that students should see in any > >> introduction to film class: > >> > >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhhnFP1GWHI > >> > >> The youtube version looks terrible, if anyone knows of a better one I > would > >> love to see it. > >> > >> I guess I think of Jordan Belson's _Cycles_ as the kind of thing you are > >> looking for.
