Re: [Frameworks] Rare Jordan Belson work in CVM UK events

Hi Scott,

In our new program, the newly restored rare Belson, the Cage films, and the Yalkut are 16mm. Belson's unfinished Quartet is from a digital file. Only the 3 Fischinger prints are 35mm. Yes, we would show these at venues with very good, responsible projection we trust (such as Colgate?).  It would be good to continue another US northeast tour next Spring. Colgate, HFA and more? Maybe Binghamton and Bard this time too. We don't have plans to rent the prints individually at this time (other than possibly the Cage for special events), only in a full CVM program.

 

I also just transferred to HD - Belson's demo reel for Kaufman and The Right Stuff, "The Astronaut's Dream."

 

best,

Cindy

Hey Cindy,

Are all these films on 35mm or are they 16mm prints--and do you show them at non-archival places?

Just checking!

Hope all is well--glad you're busy with Belson!
Scott
