Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting

2011-11-29 Thread Maikel Aarts
There is indeed a quite spectacular cat fight in 'Coffy', where Pam Grier
puts razor blades into her Afro hair and provokes a girl. The rest you can
probably imagine.

 

Best,

Maikel

 

I imagine Russ Meyer has quite a few films with female fights. I'd suggest
looking at Pam Grier's 1970s films like Big Bird Cage (one of the many
women in prison exploitation genre films you might want to explore via
IMDB) or Coffy  Foxy Brown, although I think those two films might feature
more of her fighting men.

[Frameworks] Video Program at Millennium Film Workshop this weekend

2011-11-29 Thread Jake B.
I missed the listing, so I'm sorry for this, but...

My videos are being screened at the Millennium Film Workshop this weekend and I 
think they're well worth your while. I've pasted the show description below.



JAKE BARNINGHAM
 
Barningham's work is concerned first and foremost with the textures, 
rhythms and colors possible in video. Largely using re-appropriated 
footage from amateur meteorologists across the country, the videos in 
this program re-invision landscapes not as majestic natural sculptures 
but as objects, like video, that are struggling to exist. Colors and 
shapes snap, gesticulate and then dissolve in a membrane of pixels. 
Trees and clouds shift restlessly against ill-defined spaces and tremble at the 
hand of invisible forces.  Large fields bathe in scattered rays 
of light which arrive as quickly and as painfully as they vanish.
