Comments
I don't know Ulrich Seidl yet so I'm going to have to trust you on that until I get to see his films.
Haneke doesn't make only CCC films of course! I'm thinking of The Seventh Continent and Benny's video for instance.
Same problem with Akerman, Claire Denis, Wong Kar-wai, Kitano, Kiarostami... they also use traditional/mainstream narration. But they did make one or more films with hardcore CCC principles.
That's why I try to distinguish them with the "strict model". The ones in red color are usually making CCC films consistently, so their entire oeuvre can become referential to determine that "Contemplative" trend.
I'll add Panahi too.
Keep the suggestions coming! It's supposed to be a collective work. :)
Valeska Grisebach is cited for Sehnsucht/Longing (which is not entirely silent, or plotless, but is extremely minimalist for a rather classic "love triangle" melo. I haven't seen her other film either.
Do you think these two films don't fit in?
I always forget about Angela Schanelec because I didn't see any of her film yet. But Marina already recommended it and her films are on the chronological list.
I don't know about the others you cite, so I'll add them for you if you think they belong.
Thomas Arslan is one of the best filmmakers in Germany, maybe more a structuralist than a minimalist, but his documentary Aus der Ferne is an excellent example of contemplative cinema.
To add one more Name: Romuald Karmakar, if only for his great one-man-facts-only-documentaries The Himmler Project and Hamburg Lectures.
You're welcome to post an article on these films or to leave a link if you've reviewed them already. I'd like to read more informations on these.
I've added your suggestions to our big chronology listing
I just wish someone else would corroborate your suggestion first, since you're anonymous and nobody else here said to have seen these films.
did you see any Fred Kelemen film? They have been recommended for CCC too.
"contemplative" films listing:
NAS CORRENTES DE LUZ DA RIA FORMOSA
(1997-99)
MURI ROMANI (2000)
VERGESSENSFUGE (2004)
PASSAGES (2006)
and probably it would make sense to include ROMA - un ritratto improvvisorio
For further information you might check www.jon-jost.com
Your bio says you've been all over the world... Now under which country should I list you?
The films I listed above can be obtained via www.jon-jost.com, on DVD ($30 each+$3 shipping).
They all screened at various fests - Rotterdam, Munich, Jeonju and others. AT PLAY IN THE FIELDS OF THE LORD [NEBRASKA](2007, 23 mins) is showing this week at the Chicago Underground FF - it'd fit your criteria as well.
I noticed acquarello wrote a review of OUI NON very recently.
Thanks for the recommendations. I hope I can get to see them soon.
I haven't seen anything by Benedek Fliegauf, but David Bordwell mentioned him in his piece on Béla Tarr.

thanks for visiting us. Sorry about the approximate color code, it's only a rough indicator for this undefined "contemplative" trend. It has no definite or categorical significance, and I'm updating it along the way. We have so many films listed on this blog that I tried to pick a handful of auteurs most representative of all the characteristics.
I just added Raya Martin and Albert Serra after watching their latest film.
I didn't get the chance to watch any of your films so far, but they have been recommended by others. So I couldn't tell personally how contemplative they are.
If you tell me they correspond to the (arbitrary) profile (plotless, wordless, slowness, alienation) I give you the red paint.
Thanks for updating our database.
If you would like to participate, maybe some of our members who have seen your films could get in touch with you, for an interview, or a portrait that we could publish here.
And I hope I can catch your films very soon.
Thanks for the great blog - will watch, from now on!
Please do come back.
But what`s about connection between CCC and New Romanian Wave? I think the latest new-romanian works (such as Porumboiu`s Police, Adjective and Puiu`s Aurora) can be really described as examples of CCC.
And I agree with previous "Anonymous" that you could add to the list members of so-called Berlin School (Petzold, Arslan, Schanelek, Hochhäusler, Köhler).
