Re: [Frameworks] Film for sale - 16mm Kodak 7285 Ektachrome 100D 400ft Rolls
Jon, Has this film been claimed? Also, I have your overhead still! : ) Happy to return it at the end of this week Steve From: jdcap...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:41:49 -0400 To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Subject: [Frameworks] Film for sale - 16mm Kodak 7285 Ektachrome 100D 400ft Rolls Hi Frameworkers, I'm selling off 5 unopened 400ft rolls of 16mm Kodak 7285 (Ektachrome 100D) for $100 each. These rolls are about 2/3 years old and were stored in a freezer/refrigerator for most of the time, minus a short period where they lived in a cool drawer in my San Francisco apartment. I believe these rolls to be in great condition, but I haven't shot any of them in a while. So I am willing to throw in a 100ft roll that has been stored with them for the first person to contact me to test it out. If someone wants to take multiple rolls off my hands, I would be willing to let them get a snip test done on one of them. I live in Brooklyn and I would like to sell these locally if possible, but I could probably be convinced otherwise. Please contact me off list.

Re: [Frameworks] Film and Digital for beginners
While formerly a strong opponent of seeing films on video (an opposition that arose in the days of VHS tapes and CRT displays; see my 1985 article on this at http://www.fredcamper.com/Film/Video.html , which I think still makes relevant points about film), I now agree with Aaron and others that video is not any one format. The difference between different video formats can be wider than, say, the difference between 35mm and super-8. And some formats come much closer to the effects of film projection than many would have thought possible. Pip's film fundamentalism now reads strangely to me, almost as if he is arguing more from theory than from the actual viewing experience, even though I assume the latter, that he is arguing based on his own perceptions. But here's a thought: perhaps the differences between film and whatever video format you want to consider vary hugely from one viewer to another. I would certainly respect any filmmaker who has viewed and tried various video formats and feels they simply cannot produce the effects she wants, and, of course, vice versa. Peter Kubelka feels that video is not film, but also, that recorded music is not music. He has classical music training and has been a performing musician much of his life. I am not going tell him that he should listen to more CDs. At the same time, a good performance on LP or CD is more musical to me than a bad performance in concert, and I've heard more than my fair share of those -- including more than one attended with Kubelka, who didn't like them either. I have certainly seen films that could have just as easily been videos without losing much, and videos that likewise could just have easily been filmed, and even though my bias is toward art works that you the specifics of their media, surely some works that are less medium-specific are also worthy. Perhaps there is no one answer for all viewers. I would, however, urge everyone to be flexible, and to consider as open-mindedly as possible the possibilities of new formats as they come along.

Re: [Frameworks] Film and Digital for beginners
I've been enjoying the thread. Kudos to Jonathan for knowing how to get a summertime Frameworks thread going. I offer these two links not in response to specific points in the discussion so far, but because the discussion came to mind as I came across these in the past few days. First, via Bad Lit: http://prolost.com/blog/2011/3/28/your-new-tv-ruins-movies.html Avoiding for a moment the idea of how the films should look, I thought Jonathan might find this useful in explaining that big box electronics stores have their own aesthetic of the image. Second, via Roger Ebert: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2012/07/the_mega-epic_pissing_contest.html Not so much film vs. digital, but this relates to the idea about the range of digital projection options.

[Frameworks] Mark Street Films-- National Gallery of Art in DC July 21
Hey All, The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC is showing some films of mine July 21-- information below. http://www.nga.gov/programs/film/aonstreet.shtm I'm particularly thrilled to be previewing my new feature film, Hasta Nunca (See You Never). Details on that film are below, along with a short trailer ‘Hasta Nunca’ follows Mario Ligetti, a middle-aged DJ in Montevideo, Uruguay whose call-in radio show exposes the city’s “Secrets and Stories.” As Mario’s life becomes more entangled with that of his callers and listeners, his public and private personas are blurred and the intimate nuances of a city and its residents are revealed. The film is the product of a close collaboration between North American filmmaker Mark Street and an Uruguayan cast and crew, led by producer Uzi Sabah and lead actor Rufo Martínez, a real life DJ and television personality. Shot in cinéma vérité style, ‘Hasta Nunca’ takes a deeper look at one of South America’s under represented countries, carefully touching upon local themes like the lingering effectsof the military dictatorship and the illegality of abortion. The film interweaves documentary and fiction, scripted narrative and improvisation, and is as much a portrait of Montevideo as it is the story of one of its chroniclers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpyeBvmwUdQfeature=youtu.be best, Mark Street www.markstreetfilms.com ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
