Ron Green The Emergence of the Film/Video Loop

Ohio State’s Film Studies Program, founded in 2005, draws together the teaching and research expertise of recognized scholars from almost a dozen university departments, offering students the opportunity to think historically and critically about the entire culture of global cinema. Presenting the annual Film Studies Lecture this year is Ron Green, professor in the department of History of Art and member of the Film Studies faculty. His topic is the history and significance of the repeating form of the film loop, using Fernand Léger’s Ballet Mécanique (1924), Hollis Frampton’s Magellan cycle (1970s), Ann Hamilton’s spinning video (2004), and other more recent installations as examples.
