Hi Péter,
When I was working on my own publications that link the uncanny to
experimental filmmaking (partly based on Mark Fisher’s theory of the
weird and the eerie - see below), I’ve never come across anything that
would specifically and exclusively discuss the relationship between the
two. However, there are sections of larger publications that analyze
selected works/concepts through the lens of the unheimlich, e.g.
Kamila Kuc, 2016, Visions of Avant-Garde Film: Polish Cinematic
Experiments from Expressionism to Constructivism – photogénie and the
uncanny (p. 95)
Patricia Mellencamp, 1995, Indiscretions: Avant-Garde Film, Video, and
Feminism - Un Chien Andalou and the uncanny (p. 35)
Jeffrey Skoller, 2005, Shadows, Specters, Shards: Making History in
Avant-garde Film – Chile, la memoria obstinada and the uncanny (p. 159)
Susannah Gent, 2016, The neuroscientific uncanny: an investigation into
the limits of scientific metod (unpublished) – a psychoanalytical and
neurological perspective
I also have two forthcoming publications on how the uncanny connects to
avant-garde film, but the focus is very narrow, so I’m not sure if it is
of your interest. If so, please let me know.
“Dwellers That Do Not Belong, Dwellings That No Longer Exist: Staging
Hotel Interiors and (Unhomely) Domesticity in Experimental Documentary
Film.” In Home Cultures: The Journal of Architecture, Design and
Domestic Space, vol. 17, 2020
“Between Preservation and Disintegration in Decayed Cinema: The Uncanny
and the Weird of the Sublime Archival Image in Hollis Frampton’s
(nostalgia) and Bill Morrison’s Decasia.” In N. Carroll, ed. The
Cinematic Sublime: Negative Pleasures, Structuring Absences. Intellect, 2020

Dear All,
Can you recommend any text, book, essay (or even screening catalogue)
on the relationship between the "uncanny" (Freud: unheimlich) and
experimental cinema?
Thanks!
Péter
