[Frameworks] films featuring projectionists

2013-01-07 Thread Pigott, Michael 
Hello there,

I'm trying to compile a list of films featuring projectionists or projection 
boothes. So far it feels like there's a lot less that I thought there was, so I 
wondered if anybody had any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Frameworks] copyrighted music in underground/experimental/avant-garde cinema

2013-01-07 Thread Bernard Roddy 
Back when Steve Kurz was on the block, I posted a discussion of intellectual 
property at interactivist site:

http://interactivist.autonomedia.org/node/4923

If using music without clearance is considered bold on Frameworks, we may be 
rather far from appreciating what's going on in the Brose case.  

Activism has always been an important aspect of experimental and underground 
film culture, and although the legal developments and policing strategies hold 
some interest, official policies should not be a substitute for thought and 
debate.

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] copyrighted music in 
underground/experimental/avant-garde cinema
 

Great question and something I think not discussed enough. There seems to be a 
don't ask don't tell attitude to this issue. My experience with local film 
festivals  screenings has led me to believe that most festivals don't care 
whether you've got the rights to songs or video clips. As long as you claim 
you've got the rights when you submit they don't worry. I've seen short films 
made on a shoe string that have used music from bands as famous as Elvis, The 
Beach Boys, Black Sabbath and The Beatles to name a few. I'm positive the 
filmmakers did not clear the rights.


In my own experience I usually use original music or obtain rights from local 
musicians. But I did use a public domain song for a film of mine a few years 
back. When I was researching public domain songs in the U.S. it seemed that a 
lot of this material is squatted on by various companies who may or may not 
have the copyright but will vigorously go after any violation. Because of that 
it seemed the practice was such that professional film company's would pay them 
for the rights as a way of protecting themselves.

I settled on using a classical  Beethoven song recorded in the 1930s and 
obtained on a well known public domain publishing label in Canada. At the time 
it was public domain in Canada and Europe but not the U.S. I decided to go 
ahead with using it as I lacked the money to get a U.S. clear song and since I 
had no expectations of the film ever being sold or broadcast. As long as I was 
clear in my own country I felt I would be fine. The song was looped in parts, 
edited in other parts and digitally cleaned up by a friend.


After a modest festival run it sat on the shelf until I decided to post it on 
YouTube last year. In the years since, the public domain status of that 
recording has changed in the EU and is no longer in the PD. I got flagged on 
YouTube by a company in Austria claiming copyright on the song. Since PD status 
can be easily changed in one country and not another, I will probably not ever 
risk using a song in the PD again in any major work. Unless its something very 
unique it seems like too much hassle.


However, as recent interests have drawn me to explore using locally shot 8mm  
16mm home movies and other found footage for a local history film I'm planning. 
I might soon have to explore the legal issues of using found film.

Dear Frameworkers,

I have a daring question regarding your experience with screening but 
especially publishing of experimental film/video works which feature 
copyrighted music. 

With today's level of copyright-crusade, I find it quite unlikely that anyone 
working now would deliberately choose copyrighted music without permission in 
his film (without perhaps conceptualizing it somehow).

But there surely are many works from the times when this issue wasn't so 
exposed, I mean Harry Smith's films and such. I quite understand a certain 
touchiness of this subject (that is probably why I found so very little about 
it), but I would very welcome any relevant tips/readings/examples/contacts.

It is not only my personal curiosity, dissatisfaction with how 
intellectual-property laws push economics over creativity (or effectively force 
us to disregard a part of our cultural heritage, so to speak). It is also that 
we are dealing with this problem right now (preserving and digitizing 8mm films 
from the 70s which were originally accompanied with copyrighted, 
US-record-label kind of music).

With many thanks for any on- or off-list responses,

If you can track down a copy of Gregory La Cava's *His Nibs* (1921), it's a
formally-sophisticated satire of projectionists who cut/censor film prints
for their own purposes.

You've probably already noted the opening sequence of Bergman's *Persona*.

Doesn't the killer in *Peeping Tom* project his own films?

Moments in a few Scorsese films come to mind I think you get a glimpse
of the booth in the porn theater in *Taxi Driver*. Maybe a few scenes in *The
Aviator *-- I remember film projected on a body.. a la *Kundun* a few years
prior. One of the early episodes of *Boardwalk Empire* features a few dudes
watching some stag (nitrate) films on a hand-cranked projector that
eventually gets caught in the gate and catches on fire... might be the
first episode (directed by lil' Marty)... *Hugo* also has some hand-cranked
projector action...

Do we see the booth in *The Last Picture Show* (1971)?

Self-reflexivity? How about Morgan Fisher's *Projection Instructions *
(1976)?

Scene from *National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation *-- Chevy Chase in the
attic...

I haven't scene the new Ethan Hawke vehicle *Sinister* (2012) -- the
previews show him projecting a lot of 8mm and Super8, then destroying it
all. And yes, he's wearing a Bennington College shirt

the list goes on and on...

[Frameworks] Moviola question(s)

2013-01-07 Thread Mike Morris 
Hi all,

I recently acquired what seems to be a very nice 6 plate flatbed Moviola (that 
may prove to be a contradiction in terms, we'll see). I haven't played with it 
much yet. I've been warned that it's a notorious film snapper, but I haven't 
experienced that yet. 

I wonder if anyone knows how to track down a manual on one of these? I've 
worked quite a bit with Steenbecks in the past and I'm realizing just how 
different they function. 

The main problem I've run into so far, and this may be user error rather than 
something that needs to be repaired (i hope), but after I've turned on the 
switches for the two pix plates for the picture, and they put tension on the 
film, I turn the variable knob labeled Master, which I assume is suposed to 
transport the film, but nothing happens. The two mag sound knobs seem to work 
just fine. I'm figuring I just don't have something adjusted right since the 
table was in use as of 2 years ago, from what the fellow told me. Anyway, any 
help is appreciated.

I would first check the pot labelled master and then start working my
way down the chain.

If you put the first mag sound deck in so that it locks ot the master pix
deck, and then you turn the master knob, does the mag sound deck turn?
If so, the control signal is making it out and it's the drive electronics.

I'd reseat all the cards underneath too.

 recently requested UltraPan8 frameshots to be projected onto a
 classroom wall at the University of Szeged in a newly minted public
 institution called Szent-Györgyi Albert Agora.The scale of these
 digital projections are stunning! A big thank you to Péter Rózsa!

 Szevasz Miklós!

 Now I am working for an institute, for the informatorium.

 By the end of 2012 the University of Szeged, the city of Szeged, the
 Biological Research Center in Szeged and the John von Neumann Computer
 Society will complete the establishing of a prestigious public
 institution called Szent-Györgyi Albert Agora, which will create a
 unique opportunity on a national level for presenting scientific
 achievements, innovation results and their industrial utilization.

 So, we have a screen wall whither we can project great pictures (a few
 months and films too).

 Miklós! Would you be able to send photos form your UltraPan8 films or
 other photos of Yours in that scale?

 Best, and Merry Xmas!

 Áldott karácsonyt!

Hello there,

I'm trying to compile a list of films featuring projectionists or projection 
boothes. So far it feels like there's a lot less that I thought there was, so I 
wondered if anybody had any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

[Frameworks] projectionist and booths

2013-01-07 Thread Dana Berman Duff 
There¹s a scene in Agnes Varda¹s ³Cleo from 5 to 7² where Cleo and her
friend deliver a film to the friend¹s boyfriend Raoul, a projectionist. They
watch a short film (starring Jean Luc Godard) from the booth window.
