Timeline
Mark Rappaport (born January 15, 1942, in New York City, United States) is an American independent/underground film director and film critic, who has been working since the 1960s.
Born and raised in Brighton Beach, New York, Rappaport graduated from Brooklyn College in 1964 with a B.A. in literature.
Starting in 1966, Rappaport directed a number of short films and six low-budget features, all made independently with low budgets.
• ;Independent films (1966–1990)
• 1966 : Blue Frieze (short)
• 1968 : Bay of Angels (short)
• 1968 : The Stairs (short)
• 1969 : Persepolis (short)
• 1970 : Chronicle (short)
• 1971 : Fluorescent (short)
• 1971 : Blue Streak (short)
Rappaport’s first feature, Casual Relations (1974), was later described in The A.V. Club as “a formidable exercise in the narrative ambiguities that would dominate many of his films to come.” The next several years brought Mozart in Love (1975), Local Color (1977), the Max Ophuls-influenced The Scenic Route (1978), and Imposters (1979).
• 1974 : Casual Relations
• 1978 : The Scenic Route
Roger Ebert called the film “a witty and mannered exercise in style and social observation.” Rappaport’s last narrative feature was Chain Letters (1985).
• 1990 : Postcards (short)
In 1992, Rappaport began the second phase of his career, in which he moved from scripted narrative to the form of the video essay.
The first of these was Rock Hudson's Home Movies, a documentary on Rock Hudson's homosexuality as seen through clips from his films.
• ;Found footage films (1992–2002)
• 1993 : Exterior Night (short)
In 1994, Rappaport started contributing to the French film journal Trafic, created by Serge Daney two years earlier.
Because of this work, critic Matt Zoller Seitz called Rappaport "the father of the modern video essay."
• 1997 : The Silver Screen : Color Me Lavender
In 2005, he moved to Paris, France, where he resides and works.
In May 2012, Rappaport filed a lawsuit against professor Ray Carney for refusing to return digital masters of his movies which the filmmaker had previously entrusted to Carney to transport to Paris.
The suit was later dropped due to rising legal costs, and Rappaport started an online petition demanding that Carney return the masters.
Since then, he has published more than 40 pieces, and several collections, including The Moviegoer Who Knew Too Much (2013) and (F)au(x)tobiographies (2013).
Starting in 2014, Rappaport turned to short video essays on film history, chronicling the careers of actors (Anita Ekberg, Marcel Dalio, Debra Paget, Chris Olsen, Conrad Veidt, Will Geer) and specific directors (Douglas Sirk, Max Ophuls, Sergei Eisenstein, Jacques Tati and Robert Bresson).
