Hi Mark and Pip,
I find this only now after returning from a longer absence and would
like to add a few lines. In fact, Standish was a bit "disorganized" as
you can see by the fact hat he even planned to release a DVD with me on
Red Avocado Film - to bring him to Osnabrück was my idea and done with
my financial contribution. We even managed to shoot an interview
documentary on the spot for inclusion on the DVD. Trying to continue
this co-operation long-distance and all the while to no avail was more
than frustrating - but such is life, sometimes. News of his passing
away were sad but didn't come completely as a surprise. The only
question that really matters now: is there a possibility for you to
release a DVD of his truely essential work? I would simply LOVE to see
it. And as for the interview film: I will probably upload it to the Red
Avocado Film web site. In its edited version it's just a bit over 30
minutes but probably depicts one of the last times that Standish was up
to the task and gave insights into his life and work. May this great and
too often overlooked filmmaker rest in peace.

Re: [Frameworks] Standish Lawder & Runaway
Thanks Mark,
That's a very nice blog post.
I met Standish a couple of years ago on his trip to Osnabruck and
Paris and we became good friends. He stayed in my place, and he sold
me a good print of Corridor at that time. We stayed in touch and
planned to release a DVD of his films together, but he soon became
disorganized in his thoughts as some dementia set in and he moved to
California.
It was great to revisit him a little in your post.
My only criticism is that it's hard to read white text on a black
background (Jonas would really take you to task for that). So I'm
seeing lines everywhere in my head now.
All the best,
Pip Chodorov

Hi all -
If you're interested, I've written something about my experience
picking up Standish Lawder's films in 2007, prompted by the arrival
of the rest of his film elements today from his daughter (and the
discovery of one element in particular).
