Dear "Frameworkers,"
This was sent to my personal mailing list two days ago. I post it here
as it has links to my newest films, as well as information about an
upcoming online film analysis.
__________________________________________________________________
I am writing with two announcements: one of a Zoom call analyzing the
film /M /(Fritz Lang, 1931), and the other of the release of eleven new
films of my own, 4K video, total running time 81 minutes,my largest
single release thus far. These consist of seven new /Interactions/
<https://www.fredcamper.com/A/Interactions/index.html>, numbers 29
through 35, with associated prints based on them, and four that begin a
new type of film for me, /Revisits/
<https://www.fredcamper.com/A/Revisit/>, four finished so far, more to
come. If you have limited time, I can recommend two of these new
films./Interaction 34: Vehicle Lights/
<https://www.fredcamper.com/A/Interactions/034/index.html> (9 minutes)
is rather unlike any of my others, and/Revisit 3 (6 7 8)/
<https://vimeo.com/1187147394> (12 minutes) is perhaps my own favorite
of these eleven, though I hope they are all of somewhat comparable
quality and interest. If either or both of those take too much time for
now, you could take a look at another favorite, a two minute film I
announced in my last release, /Journals 8: Alley on 180th Street/
<https://vimeo.com/1125224665>. /Interactions 32: To the Temenos/,
<https://www.fredcamper.com/A/Interactions/032/index.html> documents my
visit to this event and its environs, the outdoor screenings
<https://www.thetemenos.org/> of new sections of Gregory Markopoulos’s
great great film /Eniaios/, in 2024. The final sections of
/Eniaios/ will be unveiled at this year’s event in June.
I have also added what I hope is helpful new material to my Artist’s
Statement on /Interactions/. What follows below is entirely about the
/M/ Zoom call and related “film analysis” plans.
The first film analysis Zoom call, on Douglas Sirk’s /All That Heaven
Allows/, I wound up doing three times for audiences from the US, Brazil,
Europe, and East Asia. The film /M /has received more serious attention
than /All That Heaven Allows/ and over a longer period of time, but I
believe I have uncovered many aspects of it that have gone largely
unnoticed, contributing to overall formal patterns that amount to a
vision consistent with other Lang films.
if you are interested, I have four dates and times to propose, and if I
receive “this one is best for me” and/or “I want to attend but I cannot
make that one” emails, they will factor into my choice. Unfortunately,
as most people interested so far are not in Asia, I have chosen a time
that should work for the Western Hemisphere and Europe: 12 noon Chicago
(Central Daylight) time, or GMT-5. Possible dates are Saturdays and
Sundays, May 30, May 31, June 6, or June 7. Whether you write me with
preferences or not, you will receive another email when a date and time
are chosen. As with the first, there is no charge for this call. If
there is enough demand, I could do another at 8 or 9 PM which has worked
in the past for some people in Asia. Like the /All That Heaven Allows
/calls, this will be long, but likely not as long, perhaps closer to
three hours.
Fairly soon I should have a Patreon page with a small monthly fee and
ecordings of the Zoom calls, some of my writing on film not easily
available otherwise, and which I may also use to charge a larger fee for
a possible three or four month online courses. After some consideration,
I think the first one will be “Auteurs of Classical Hollywood,” mostly
films from 1960 or earlier, fifteen weeks, one or two films per
filmmaker. This could start in September, though not earlier. You are on
my general mailing list, so will receive notifications of all of these.
Anyone not on the list wanting to subscribe, send me an email with
“subscribe.” My address is the one that this is being sent from,

Thank you for your interest.
