Subject: [Frameworks] Weapons and the military in avant-garde cinema?

Hello all,

For a little under a year my main source of income has come through working as 
a gallery warden in a historical museum specializing in arms and armour (it's a 
questionable place to work in admittedly, but anyway...). Recently the museum's 
cinema space has become freely available to staff members to use on evenings 
whenever it's available and given both the digital and potential film 
projection facilities available, and the cinema itself being housed in quite a 
unique location, I've been pondering over the idea of independently programming 
a selection of experimental/underground/artists' films and videos that ties 
together the avant-garde as we commonly know it with its original military 
terminology. Either way, it would make a refreshing change to the current 
programming decisions of showing Hollywood war and action films that everyone 
has seen a hundred times over...

Can anyone on FrameWorks offer any suggestions for moving image works - both 
new or old, landmark or obscure, abstract or representative - that may explore 
such vanguard themes? Or know of any existing curated screenings or written 
texts that have also explored this connection? I'm open to hearing any and all 
suggestions for works involving the military and armed forces, weapon 
technology (firearms, explosives, swords etc), armour, combat and self-defence, 
historical battles or wars (maybe even fictional ones too), appropriated 
war/training films, critiques of the armed forces, militias, laws involving the 
right to keep and bear arms, etc etc etc...

Many thanks for reading!

Best,
John

Re: [Frameworks] Weapons and the military in avant-garde cinema?

2014-01-28 Thread Chuck Kleinhans

IF you want to stretch a bit, there's a group of films that show, document, 
etc. protests against weapons such as the anti-nuke movement in the 50s on, and 
films showing anti-war protests.

Jonas Mekas, his diary film of the 50s on (under some different titles as it 
evolved, as I remember--try Lost Lost Lost) includes a very poignant section of 
people protesting against air-raid drills in the 1950s.

Not quite so avant garde, but still original Peter Watkins: Culloden, a you 
are there docudrama of the turning point battle in the Highlands depicting the 
devastating power of British rifles against what amounted to stone age weapons 
of the Scots.  Perhaps especially appropriate for a museum of arms.  And 
powerfully anti-war.


There have been some powerful films about specific weapon systems:  Agent 
Orange and land mines, etc.  Usually in the aftermath and about the after 
effects.

Haroun Farocki's Inextinguishable Fires, on Napalm is pretty powerful, and 
experimental.

Thanks.

Oh, and back on topic - If I recall, and it has been a while, there is 
something special about the bottom of the Arri S, something about a 
handle or support that would send a rod up into the bottom of the 
camera, starting it when you pressed the trigger. I think it was through 
the 3/8-16 threaded mounting hole (got to be a better term for it). 
Perhaps I misremember and it was the IIC.

Re: [Frameworks] Tripod for Arri S

2014-01-28 Thread Jeff Kreines
Steven:

Didn’t know you were at BH.  What department?

The Arri grip was plastic, and had a 3/8-16 thread, and an activator rod that 
pushed a switch in the base of the Arri 8.  Which was pretty silly, since the 
16S held better using the built in thumb-grip and viewfinder tube (with prime 
lenses).

These grips held well, fit the hand nicely, and were used by Pennebaker in his 
early rigs.  Of course they had the problem of being plastic.  Penny famously 
(after unknowingly ingesting some wine laced with acid at the Monterey Pop 
festival) put his camera on a table and walked away, forgetting the camera was 
tied to his battery belt.  The camera smashed on the floor, and the grip broke 
off.  Penny shot Hendrix using the short stub of a handgrip that remained.  My 
first Auricon with CP motor had a version cast from that grip out of aluminum.

But as usual I digress.

Jeff, Your digressions are better than my on the topics.

I'm in the Web content division where I work - I write up product 
descriptions, and the occasional article. Any opinions I express here 
are of course my own, and not my employers.


Separated from wife, needed a stable job and stable schedule. Have to 
work anything else in around that. I did some shooting on a doc and a 
short film, so I can make the schedule work between full time job and 
Kids, but it is a stretch.


Please let me know next time you come to NY, I'd love to actually meet 
you one day.


Oh yeah, once in Africa I forgot the Headphones were still attached to 
the Nagra, man those machines were tough. Glad that I'm not the only one 
whose done that sort of thing.


The director and cameraman never stopped talking the whole shoot, and 
that was when I decided camera was a better position than sound.

Didn’t know you were at BH.  What department?

The Arri grip was plastic, and had a 3/8-16 thread, and an activator 
rod that pushed a switch in the base of the Arri 8.  Which was pretty 
silly, since the 16S held better using the built in thumb-grip and 
viewfinder tube (with prime lenses).


These grips held well, fit the hand nicely, and were used by 
Pennebaker in his early rigs.  Of course they had the problem of being 
plastic.  Penny famously (after unknowingly ingesting some wine laced 
with acid at the Monterey Pop festival) put his camera on a table and 
walked away, forgetting the camera was tied to his battery belt.  The 
camera smashed on the floor, and the grip broke off.  Penny shot 
Hendrix using the short stub of a handgrip that remained.  My first 
Auricon with CP motor had a version cast from that grip out of aluminum.


But as usual I digress.

Oh, and back on topic - If I recall, and it has been a while, there 
is something special about the bottom of the Arri S, something about 
a handle or support that would send a rod up into the bottom of the 
camera, starting it when you pressed the trigger. I think it was 
through the 3/8-16 threaded mounting hole (got to be a better term 
for it). Perhaps I misremember and it was the IIC.
