Hi Frameworks, We hope you'll take a moment to review our current crowdfunding campaign at www.igg.me/at/microscope, International contributions are welcome and if you live in the US they are tax-deductible (we also have many great gifts). Any amount is greatly appreciated.
We have been posting many of our screenings on Frameworks since we opened in the autumn of 2010 and many of you are among our regular audience members. Briefly, for those unfamiliar, Microscope is located in Bushwick, Brooklyn NY, and has been running a Weekly Event Series featuring primarily experimental film/video works by living artist - from emerging to pioneers - usually through solo shows. Since we opened we have held more than 250 events on site, as well as presented events off-site such as premiering new prints by Jack Smith that had been put into distribution at the Film-makers' Coop and "now what" and "now what 2", an opening call screening and expanded cinema event. We have been operating out of our current 420 square foot space, which we have considered as the absolute minimum size. Despite loving our intimate space, it was never our intention to remain so small. And now that our lease is almost up and being raised a ridiculous amount, we're on the move. Our new space is 2000 square feet and will require a lot of work, including upgrading all of our equipment for a larger space. We need to raise $16K to do so. For further information we urge you to watch the campaign video, where you can see excerpts from many of the shows we've held, including shows with Su Friedrich, Takhiko Iimura, Jonas Mekas, Ken Jacobs, Bradley Eros, Peggy Ahwesh, Joel Schlemowitz, Sarah Halpern, Andrew Lampert, etc etc. Thanks very much. And also, your help in spreading the word is greatly appreciated. And if you live in New York, we're on a push to break $5k by Sunday 7/20 at midnight and if we do we'll throw a Cake Party Monday for all contributors to date. Elle Burchill & Andrea Monti
