Abstract
Raymond Bellour’s 1975 essay ‘The Unattainable Text’ has, in recent years,
enjoyed new life as a founding text of the loose, global movement devoted
to the making and theorizing of audiovisual essays. Where the film-text
was once unattainable to scholars and artists, now we can get our hands
on it thanks to the various technological waves that were once only a
distant dream. However, there are challenges in Bellour’s text that are
conveniently overlooked in its optimistic interpretation; in particular,
the multiple meanings attached to the word text itself. Attaining this
‘text’ is not a straightforward procedure of downloading and re-editing
digital files. What more is at stake that we need to make explicit today
in discussing the audiovisual essay?
