[Frameworks] I'm searching for films by Pedro Costa

[mat fleming]

Hi,

I'm working for a festival hunting down films. We're looking for Pedro
Costa's Fontainhas trilogy - Colossal Youth, Ossos and In Vanda's room.

Can anyone help me with contact details for him, or international
distributors (they have none in the UK as far as i can tell) email me off
list.

Thanks

Mat

Re: [Frameworks] Presenting a native ultraPan8 projector.

[mat fleming]

Hi Nick, your work on this is terrific!

You might find original 'Span 8' cameras in Switzerland. Apparently a TV
company was interested in it as a viable commercial format.  Martin
Baumgarten describes past uses of this kind of format in the end of his
article here:
http://lavender.fortunecity.com/lavender/569/8mmfilmgauges.html
I tried it once too, but your's is beautifully sharp, mine makes really soft
images.

Re: [Frameworks] Presenting a native ultraPan8 projector.

[mat fleming]

No sorry i don't have any other information about the Swizz company Martin
refers to. I made my own Span 8 camera a couple of years ago, It's very
ropey but I guess it's kind of cool. At the time I found it hard to find
regular 8 film and I went throgh a terrible financial patch so i didn't test
it much. I keep meaning to have another go maybe this will motivate me.

Cheers

Re: [Frameworks] European cinemas who program and project 16mm films ??

[mat fleming]

i dont think you have Husets Biograf in copenhagen on the list. They are
running a handsome left handed Bauer (i think) in the booth. which they run
on quite a regular basis.

contact:  Jack Stevenson at (jack.steven...@mail.dk) who you need to add to

[Frameworks] Preview screening of More Cooks at Star and Shadow Cinema Thursday night

[mat fleming]

Hello everyone,

A new film by, Deborah Bower and Harriet Plewis and myself, *More Cooks* is
being previewed for friends and funders at Star and Shadow Cinema on
Thursday night. We are very proud of it and we wrote something and posted a
little clip which LUX have featured on their blog here:

http://www.lux.org.uk/blog/more-cooks-or-how-make-film-about-collective-collectively

If you're somewhere near the north east of England and you want to come
please be in touch quick because there are very few places left. If you
want a screener - once we get around to making them - please let me know
too.

[Frameworks] Filming a film projection

[mat fleming]

Hi,

Sorry if this topic has been covered before. It's quite a difficult one to
conjure narrow search terms for.

Can someone explain the basics of filming a film projection.
I have an 8mm projector (a Eumig) which will run at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18fps
(but not accurately). and a 35mm projector (which i want to use as the
camera with print stock in it) which can run at any speed.

To get the least flicker should I run them at the same speed or make one
slightly faster than the the other?

what happens if they are at mismatched speeds?

Thanks,

Mat

Re: [Frameworks] Filming a film projection

[mat fleming]

Thank you everyone who gave tips. Sounds like I just need to give it a shot
and try to match the speeds as much as possible.

Amazing to hear you can do blow ups Graeme. I'll defo be asking you more
about that in the near future! Between us we have it covered then because
we can do reductions up here.

cheers

Re: [Frameworks] Ektachrome or 16mm color reversal

[mat fleming]

Hi

Presumably Kahl, http://www.kahlfilm.de/, is the place to go now, but Fuji
still make Velvia right? so Cinevia is still an option.
http://www.cinevia.eu/, I hope they start to sell it in 400'/30m loads. It
doesn't come cheap but maybe these little companies will get stronger if we
move our custom from Kodak - which is a good thing.

Now I all I need is a job to pay for the stuff.

[Frameworks] Cinema interior commission

[mat fleming]

Hello everyone,

Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle is offering a commission to an artist or
a screening collective to design and build the interior of their new
auditorium.

The artists' fee is low but there is a little money, travel and
accommodation available for an artist or a team of up to 4 people to join
us for a month and realise an idea with help from a large international
volunteer labour force. This will need to happen over March/April time.

The travel budget aims this at Europeans but we'll consider and try to
accommodate any proposal we really like.

If you would like the full call out please email me at
matflemin...@gmail.com as I don't think I can make an attachment on the
list.
