I love Gérard Courant's film Cinématon which consists of (to this date) 2737 3.5 minute portraits of artists, writers, intellectuals and many other different kinds of people. You can see many of these portraits on YouTube or on Gérard's site http://www.gerardcourant.com/
I presented a screening of 50 of these portraits during one of our season opening events at International House Philadelphia. It was great to see them projected in a cinema setting. Here's an example: Cinematon #120: Paul Sharits (1981): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfakqYNFkYY Herb Shellenberger Programs Office Manager 3701 CHESTNUT STREET | PHILADELPHIA, PA 19104 phone: 215.895.6575 | fax: 215.895.6562 email: he...@ihphilly.org | web: www.ihousephilly.org From: FrameWorks [mailto:frameworks-boun...@jonasmekasfilms.com] On Behalf Of Brian Murphy Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 12:40 PM To: Experimental Film Discussion List Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Portrait films Here is a link to a video I made that may fall into this catagory. https://vimeo.com/50219263 Brian On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 12:02 PM, Marta Sanchez <ma...@pragda.com> wrote: Hi guapa Shumona, you can see wonderful Santiago by Joao Malles, Brazil.

He is an astrologer, linguist, and an agent of the Indian intelligence. I was wondering whether you could recommend films like Portrait of Jason, for me to watch. I am looking for poetic films that could be easy to access from places like ubu.com or kara garga. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Shumona _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
