Proposal draft: Hollis Frampton's contribution.

A reappraisal using research led practice.

In America in the 1960's, a film movement began that focussed on form and style as opposed to content.  One of the leaders in this structural approach was Hollis Frampton. 

What can be learnt from his practice and applied to filmmaking in today's short film festival scene?
Where did this structural approach originate?
What are its key works?
Where does Hollis Frampton's work fit in this radical movement?
What is unique about his contribution?

By investigating Frampton's seminal works and remaking them digitally, it is intended that new insight into this filmmakers unique contribution will be achieved.
