2. Sitneys says structural film takes these previous concepts of film further into the human mind. Whereas Brahkage was trying to represent vision and Deren was trying to represent dreams, the structural film attempts to recreate consciousness (cinema of the mind rather than the eye). Characteristics include fixed camera, loop printing, re-photography, and the flicker effect.
3. I think sort of hit on this is the last answer. Brahkage’s camera is that of the eye, Structural film makes are one step further back into the brain. Structural film attempts to challenge the conciseness of its viewers through numerous aural and visual cues.
4. Warhol as well as the fluxus filmmakers used many of the same characteristics in their films, just to achieve different products. The filmmaking process was very similar (fixed camera/flicker film) and many fluxus filmmakers actually made their way into structural film in these early years.
