[Frameworks] Fri at Millennium - Personal Cinema: Matt Peterson (me!)

2012-06-13 Thread Matt Peterson
I think Stephanie already posted this, but here's some more detailed
information on the program:

*Personal Cinema: Matt Peterson*

15 June 2012 - 8PM
Millennium Film Workshop
66 East 4th Street, New York, NY 10003

A program of film and video by Matt Peterson, often made in collaboration.
Produced along with the collective Red Channels (2009-2011), Dan Meyerson,
and others, these works include actualities, assemblages, cinema engage,
city portraits, direct cinema, documentaries, essays, screen tests, etc.

This will be a multi-media presentation/live cinema event, with musical
accompaniment and narration for select works, followed by an open
discussion.

--San Francisco Earthquake and Fire - Made with Red Channels, 1906/2009,
Film/Video, 17 minutes [with live music]
--Late Autumn - Made with Dan Meyerson, 2009, DV, 20 minutes [premiere
screening]
--As a Crowd Gathers [excerpt] - Made with Red Channels, 2011, Video, 7
minutes [with live narration]
--Scenes from a Revolt Sustained [excerpt] - 2012, HD, 20 minutes
TOTAL RUNNING TIME: 64 minutes | Digital Projection

SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE is a video produced for the Red Channels
program The Banality of Disaster: Mapping Materialism which took place
during the Brecht Forum's 2009 Visual Liberation Film Festival. This
program featured the premiere of Dan Meyerson and Matt Peterson's film
September (2008), screened alongside Alain Resnais' Night and Fog (1955)
and the Army-Navy Screen Magazine's A Tale of Two Cities (1946). While
looking for additional footage of cities being destroyed by either
environmental or manmade disaster, Matt and Dan came across a number of
films that had been uploaded online featuring contemporaneous footage of
the self-described earthquake and fire in San Francisco in 1906.
Unsatisfied that any of these films could on their own document this
moment, they created their own compilation video from the silent black and
white actuality footage found on the Library of Congress and Prelinger
Archives websites. As it was produced especially for a Red Channels film
program, it was the first video production credited to the project. The
film was later screened as part of a three-channel installation with
September and the Army Pictorial Service's The Atom Strikes! (1945) as part
of the End Times edition of the Get Ahead Festival, a program we called
Apocalyptic Architecture; then again as part of Archive Fever series at
the International House Philadelphia, with live musical accompaniment and
narration, and paired with Rick Prelinger's own Lost Landscapes of Detroit
(2010) as A City in Two Movements; then again silently as part of Red
Channels' Gentle People in Motion series in San Francisco, on a program
at New Nothing Cinema called History is a Prison, alongside the James
Baldwin film Take This Hammer (1964), and a new Red Channels video produced
for the screening, Take This Hammer Walking Tour (2011); and finally, again
with music, as part of Red Channels' Our Friendships are Constructed on
the Basis of Conflict: Collectively Produced Film  Video, with other
early silent films by La Coopérative du Cinéma du Peuple and Prokino. This
projection will feature live musical accompaniment by Ras Moshe.

LATE AUTUMN is a film produced with Dan Meyerson, their follow-up to
September. Created out of footage shot in the fall of 2007, initially meant
for a more traditional man-on-the-street direct cinema documentary, the
film continued to experiment with the silence used in San Francisco
Earthquake and Fire, and became an attempt at combining documentary film's
interview approach with Andy Warhol's screen tests, as a different kind of
city portrait/cinema verite project. The film has never been screened
publicly or placed online, only a handful of copies having been distributed
on DVD to friends.

AS A CROWD GATHERS is a video that came out of Red Channels' series in
Chicago which had the same name. For the Cultural Studies Association's
New Directions in Cultural Studies conference at Columbia College, Red
Channels prepared six short multi-media presentations as a sort of live
film panel. With the original title The Mob in Contemporary Political
Cinema, we collectively studied a genealogy of historical and represented
crowds, including the ways artists and social theorists, as well as
evolving media and technology, have used the crowd as a subject. We titled
this The Transmission of Affect through Crowds in Cinema. These
presentations/performances were edited together as a single-channel video
essay for Amanda Matles' Whitney Independent Study Program's Studio
Exhibition. This video later screened at West Germany in Berlin during
another version of our Collectively Produced Film  Video series; and
again at Eyebeam for Red Channels' Invisible Crowd program. This
screening will again feature a live reading of the essay over video, as
initially presented.

SCENES FROM A REVOLT SUSTAINED is Matt's latest work, as-yet-unfinished,
produced with

In that vein, Thom Andersen's Edweard  Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1975) 
might be considered an experimental documentary about a sort-of-scientific 
subject, but all of this departs from the original inquiry about films 
inspired by astronomy and physics, probably because there are very few. 
Early Belson and Thorsten Fleisch's Energie are poetic evocations of those 
ideas, but oblique evocations only.

Re: [Frameworks] Hand-cranking 16mm projector?

2012-06-13 Thread Scott Dorsey
DeVry had a hand-cranked projector which Edmund sold surplus for $20
so in the seventies and eighties.  They had a pull-down claw and would
go in both directions, with a fairly dim lamp.

I have a Speco motion analysis projector that can run on a motor or be
hand-cranked... in single-frame or hand-crank mode there is a heat absorbing
glass which drops down.

And it wouldn't be hard to turn an old BH 500-series projector into a 
hand-cranked thing... the hard part would be putting a much lower intensity
lamp into it, and rigging up a fan to keep the lamp cool.

And, if you get your hands on any of these, you can rewire the lamp portion to

Re: [Frameworks] Hand-cranking 16mm projector?

2012-06-13 Thread Steve Polta
It would actually be very easy to modify a 16mm projector to be hand-cranked. 
The inching knob found on many projectors (e.g the ubiquitous Bell  Howells) 
would be the obvious place to attach your drive mechanism. Reverse it and the 
projector can drive other devices. Kim Miskowicz' recent film Saving the Next 
to Last is a super-8 hand-cranked film (which also draws lamp power from a 
hand-crank—i.e. it's a post-apocalypse Gilligan's Island projector which does 
not plus into the wall). Sorry I don't have more info on this but here is her 
website: http://kimmiskowicz.com/news.html

I did a workshop with Alex and he showed us his 'wooden lightbox'. IIRC he took 
an old Pageant projector, gutted then motor, rewired the lamp for a lower 
wattage and then connected a rewind crank to the projector's drive shaft. He 
can get about 8fps with his setup and can run the film backwards and forwards 
with ease.

Re: [Frameworks] Hand-cranking 16mm projector?

2012-06-13 Thread Tom Whiteside
The Bell  Howell 173 is a 16mm analytic projector and it can be hand-cranked 
or run by the variable speed motor. A beautiful machine and a real workhorse. 
There are similar models by other makers, and because analytics are not sound 
projectors they can be rather inexpensive (gee, who would want a silent film 
projector?) They used to be quite common, there were tons of them in use in 
athletics before the advent of videotape.
Someone mentioned toy projectors - they can be fine as props, but the mechanics 
are often so rudimentary it's always dicey to run film through them. Some are 
ok, others are horrible.

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Science Films
In that vein, Thom Andersen's Edweard  Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1975) 
might be considered an experimental documentary about a sort-of-scientific 
subject, but all of this departs from the original inquiry about films 
inspired by astronomy and physics, probably because there are very few. 
Early Belson and Thorsten Fleisch's Energie are poetic evocations of those 
ideas, but oblique evocations only.

they are also doing processing for folks, Super8 BW and even color.  Give
them a call.

 They are still listed.  What makes you think they are gone?  Probably
 mainly doing digital transfers now.

 Pardon me if this is way out of date, but does anyone know what happened
 to Film  Video Services in Minneapolis? I had them process some S8 Plus-X
 a few years ago and they were cheap, fast, and great - now it looks like
 they're out of business. Just curious.

 On a related note - does anyone have recommendations for/warnings against
 Pac Lab in NYC?
