In this paper, by applying three-mode division of image-movement by Gilles Deleuze to three case studies from the artistic practice of experimental archive cinema, I will attempt to point to three modes of reading/watching archive documentary film images, by which I tend to recognize also three different instances of reading/watching certain historical events, represented by images in these films. The three films, which I analyze following these guidelines, are Frammenti elettrici [Electric Fragments], by Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci-Lucchi, 2001–2005; Блокада [The Block], by Sergei Loznitsa, 2006; and Respite, by Harun Farocki, 2005.
