[Frameworks] age-fogged 'new' film?
hey folks anyone had a problem with fuji stock recently? bought some 250D from them about 2 months ago; just got some back from the lab and they said it looks age-fogged (& true enough, the grain is pretty remarkable); fuji said the stock is about 2 years old but has been in their fridges ... just sent them a sample, waiting to hear back from them, but I was wondering if anyone else has had similiar problems? cheers moira moiratierney.net vimeo.com/moiratierney___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Hello-
Thanks for the post, it was nice to hear your thoughts.
I am a film enthusiast as well, and I would also be interested in taking part
in a community of likeminded artists. I also make abstract, visual films that
my parents don't consider movies. I love Hans Richter, Maya Deren, and Man Ray
films, among many others.
I have a ton of gear, and I would like to make myself available as a resource
for film-related tools, etc. With an engineer friend, I custom build
film-related gear such as interval motors, upside-down tri-pods (for correcting
8mm-on-16mm 4-screen effect), external shutters, external scope lens gadgetry,
matte box masks, frankenstein optical printer hybrids, etc., etc. If there is
something anybody needs, I am sure I can help.
I also collect 16mm films, and have amassed a large collection, including about
200 amateur home movies that I would love to archive someday.
For a while now, I have been thinking about trying to start a film festival
that is devoted to filmmakers who shoot and finish/present their films on
celluloid. "The Film-Only Film Festival," or something to that effect. There
are, of course, already experimental film festivals out there, but I don't
think there is anything that is specifically, 100% devoted to the medium of
film, as in celluloid. Anyway, I think the idea could take off, and could help
to provide a community that is supportive to artists who are committed to film.
Maybe this could also help fill the void you are speaking of, and connect
likeminded filmmakers together. It could also perhaps help to preserve the
"dying," medium of film - a worthy cause that I think a lot of people and
institutions would be willing to help support.
Anyway, if anyone thinks that this is an idea worth pursuing, I am open to
collaborating, and building on the idea. Why not?! If we don't have a venue,
I guess we'll just have to build one!

Here is a "ready made" film, I made from an old commercial "film

I'm 30 and I spent 3 years and 10,000 dollars making a really
ambitious and stylized abstract 16mm movie called "PALMS", it's a
serious piece of work that I think is worthy of following in the

Maya Deren, Slavko Vorkapich, and Dziga Vertov, among others.
Are other people out there, particularly people younger than 50 and
currently active, who are also passionate and excited by the work
of all these great cinematic artists and are committed to working
on celluloid? The last 3 years have been a struggle for me to make
another movie and to get my 1st one even seen by anyone. and i also
just haven't been able to find people who share my love of
cinematic technique and will share it in any way, such as emailing
or talking to each other about great shots and montages and optical
techniques or sound design techniques in the brilliant movies by
these artists.
That kind of community and sharing is i feel necessary, even if
only between a few people, and it's sad when we're so alone in our
struggling and hard work. The only current 16mm moviemakers I know
that are similar to me in any way are Timoleon Wilkins and Mark

I know that maybe there are some really great cinematic-celluloid
artists working today out there who just make their work for
themselves and don't really show it and don't desire to know other
cinema enthusiasts. In a way I can understand wanting to be like
that and maybe nowadays it's the only way to be. I might get like

SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 2013 3/16 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue BEHINDERT by Stephen Dwoskin 1974, 96 min, 16mm-to-digital video This screening is part of: KISSING THE MOON: FILMS AND VIDEOS BY STEPHEN DWOSKIN "An astonishingly intimate recreation of Dwoskin's time with actor Carola Regnier (who gives a hypnotically intricate performance of her own desires and vulnerabilities). This is Dwoskin's masterpiece. Indeed, I have come to regard it as the one of the greatest works in cinema history. [ ] Like many of Dwoskin's pieces, it is a reflection upon his physical condition the title could be translated as 'hindered' or even 'handicapped', hence 'disabled' and the strains it poses on his exchanges with an able-bodied lover. But this is as far from a 'social problem' or 'disease of the week' telemovie as can possibly be imagined as the perfectly judged long takes, coupled with the relentless drone-score by Gavin Bryars, attest. "BEHINDERT remains Dwoskin's most daring and artistically successful attempt to splice his 'first person' mode of cinema with a staged fiction creating a kind of cubistic complexity from the constantly shuffled perspectives. The 'fourth look' which Willemen intuited not exactly the look of the characters, the spectator, or even the camera-eye, but some other, more forbidding look, like the gaze of society itself hovers over the interstices between these images, these tableaux, these scenes from a relationship. From a film-history standpoint, Dwoskin's breakthrough here is prophetic. Anticipating the ongoing novelistic autobiography of Philippe Garrel's work since the 1980s, BEHINDERT plays a thrilling, almost vampiric game with the proximity of real-life experience to its fictive recreation especially as its principals are the actual former lovers!"

She penetrated deep into East African indigenous culture to retrieve this hr.-long album of Ethiopian tribal rites and musics, published by Sublime Frequencies. OC's old comrade Mark Brecke opens with a Report Back on conditions on the ground in Somalia and Kenya.

Re: [Frameworks] ¿hay alguien en el d.f., Mexico?
Hi Kristie, I was living down in el DF up until recently and although my focus was not on mainstream Mexican films from the Golden Age I did work with a lady who was writing a book on the history of studios in Mexico. She may be able to help you with connections or first hand info but just lemme message her first. I'm not sure if she has time. Other than her, I would advise you to contact the Cineteca Nacional and the AMACC. They also have lots of info on Gabriel Figueroa (i'm sort of assuming you would want to research him too). oh and fyi, during semana santa and semana pascua a lot of locals head out to the beach so it may not be the best time to head down there. best of luck, Brenda Contreras = Hola. ¿que tal? Estoy buscando un cineaste de cualquier nivel en el d.f. Me interesta conocer alguien quien sabe mucho de la historia de cine mexicana yo he estado mirando mucho las peliculas de Pedro Infante, y me gustaria saber mas del estudio de Los Hermanos Rodriquez, quien hicieron la mayor de sus peliculas. Me gustaria ver donde en d.f. fue el estudio, y si hay locales donde se grabaron, si todavia existen en el d.f. O ¡a lo mejor! todavia viva alguien quien trabajó alli que quiere hablar conmigo.. Voy estar en d.f. en la semaña santa, y me gustaria investigar estes cosas mientras estoy alli. Cual quier informacion usted tiene, o si usted concozco alguien que gustaria hablar conmigo, ¡lo aprecio! gracias, Kristie Kristie Reinders, B.F.A.
