Hollis Frampton (1936–1984) was an American experimental filmmaker, photographer and writer. A leading figure of structural film, he made works that probe the basic materials and systems of cinema rather than telling stories. He emerged from New York's 1960s avant-garde alongside Michael Snow and Stan Brakhage.
