Here are some artists that make experimental films.

Ghosts at Breakfast is a very enjoyable film to watch, it has humor in it when it could have easily been macabre. The footage is played backwards in  parts of it which make you view the subject material differently. This would be a good technique for me and Conor to use.

Digital Speech is a bizarre film that questions consciousness, the actor does this through largely voice which shows how important sound can be for exploration.

 I really like the film Berlin Horse, it is to different and beautiful. Malcolm Le Grice experiments with his use of colour and reversing images. I think me and Conor should experiment with this technique for our film.
