McLaren's Lines Vertical, Horizontal, and Mosaic. But I think Vertical in particular fits very well with what you are looking for.

Para: Experimental Film Discussion List <[email protected]> Asunto: [Frameworks] meditative films? Hi, Frameworkers. I’m teaching a multi-part film/video-making workshop for high schoolers. We’re exploring rituals of care, different self-care practices, calming techniques, etc., and the students will be making a collaborative collage film/video related to all that. I’d love to show them some examples of moving image works for inspiration (or send them links to things they can check out on their own). Do you have any recommendations for short films, videos, animations, gifs, video art, etc. in the experimental/art vein that are that are viewable online that might fit with this? (I'm not looking for things like straight documentaries on self-care or anything -- I'm thinking about works that are more poetic, more in the arena of video art or experimental film.) Note that these students are brand new to experimental film, so I’m not looking for particularly challenging works that could be frustrating to them. Instead, I’m looking for pieces that are slower, poetic, perhaps repetitive, meditative that someone might be able to relax into. A couple of films that come to mind are Amy Halpern’s “Invocation” (except there's no digital version, dang it, and I can only show digital at this school) and James Whitney’s “Lapis”. But I hope to find more works that, like "Invocation," work with representational imagery—and works that, in particular, use documentation/documentary-style moving images since the students will recording visuals and audio at the school site where we’re working (though we may do some basic animation as well). I’m particularly interested in works by artists of color and queer artists, but I’m open to other suggestions as well. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!
