David Edward Gatten is an American experimental filmmaker and moving image artist. Since 1996 Gatten's films have explored the intersection of the printed word and moving image, cataloging the variety of ways in which texts functions in cinema as both language and image, often blurring the boundary between these categories.〔MacDonald, Scott. "Interview with David Gatten." Adventures of Perception Berkeley: University of California Press, Fall 2009.〕 His 16mm films often employee cameraless techniques, combined with close-up cinematography and optical printing processes.〔Armour, Nicole. "Private Investigations." Film Comment Nov./Dec. 2001: 71–72.〕〔Huldisch, Henriette. "Man of Letters." Artforum March 2006: 85.〕 In addition to the ongoing 16mm films, Gatten is now making hybrid 16mm/digital works and has completed an entirely digital feature-length project called ''The Extravagant Shadows.''
