There are numerous avant-garde and experimental films concerned with
literal representations of the body and what you decide to incorporate
in your project depends on your particular methodological approach to
the study.
You can start with consulting Ara Osterweil’s Flesh Cinema (2014), which
examines the corporeal turn in the 1960s American avant-garde film - the
notion of flesh cinema is mostly applied here to sexually explicit work
of Stan Brakhage, Yoko Ono, Barbara Rubin, Carolee Schneemann, Paul
Sharits or Andy Warhol. Another good reference is R. Bruce Elder’s A
Body ofVision (1997), which discusses the work of such filmmakers as
Bruce Conner, Stan Brakhage, Andrew Noren, Carolee Schneemann, James
Broughton, etc.
Besides, check out artists traditionally associated with the underground
Cinema of Transgression, e.g. Nick Zedd, David Wojnarowicz, Richard
Kern, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Casandra Stark, Beth B., etc.
Some other filmmakers that reflect on the body or bodily
transformations/spectacles include MM Serra, Michael Wallin, Barbara
Hammer, Jack Smith, Barbara Rubin (Christmas on Earth), George Kuchar
(Hold Me While I’m Naked), Peggy Ahwesh and many others...
Good luck!

Dear Frameworks,
I am working on an independent research project for a thesis
project and think the great community here might help me out.
My project involves films that document/ involve the body. Along
the lines of Yoko Ono's work, Stan Brakhage’s “The Act of Seeing
With One’s Own Eyes".
Does anyone have recommendations for similar films I can study?
Thank you,
Madison
