Re: [Frameworks] nail polish & bleaching film

[Roger D. Wilson]

Hi Kelly,
I like to use glycerin with cotton q-tips and wipe it onto the areas where I 
want the emulsion left untouched by the bleach. Do tests first to figure out 
thickness. You can also use Vaseline but it's a little thicker and can be a 
little harder to wash from the film afterwards. You can by the glycerin at the 
pharmacy. I have also used masking tape but prefer the oil bass materials.
Hope this helps!
Roger

Hi Mark,

John's done two films for me (from super 8, regular 8 and 16mm to 35mm)
and has done excellent work.

He's also done Lina Rodriguez's super 8 to 35mmm blow-ups that you might
have seen at views a few years ago.

Re: [Frameworks] nail polish & bleaching film

[Kelly Gallagher]

As a quick update for others who may be interested- I've been messaged that
melted wax works. I've also just ordered some non-toxic, 5-free, organic
nail polish that I'll be testing in a few days with the bleach, to see if
it keeps the film emulsion. If folks are interested in how this goes, what
non-toxic brands work best, etc, please feel free to msg me!
Cheers and happy handmade filmmaking!

[Frameworks] Even the Good Times Were Bad: The New Pluralism Revisited - Thurs March 19 - London

[herb shellenberger]

Hello Frameworkers,

While it's not the most hospitable time, I wanted to alert the list of a
screening this Thursday afternoon in London at Central Saint Martins. It
was put together by the students (myself included) of the MRes: Moving
Image course run by CSM and LUX.

It was the result of some good research both at LUX and the British
Artists' Film and Video Study Collection. There will be a discursive
element of this program appearing on the LUX website soon which will
include short interviews with the artists whose work is being shown.

Thanks,
Herb Shellenberger

==

Thursday 19 March
2:30PM
Central Saint Martins - Lecture Theatre E002

Students in the MRes Art: Moving Image programme at Central Saint
Martins/LUX present a screening in response to The New Pluralism, a
mid-decade survey of British film and video art held at the Tate Gallery in
April 1985. Curators Michael O’Pray and Tina Keane selected nearly one
hundred works for the exhibition in an ambitious attempt to map the
pluralistic practices and politics that emerged as a reaction against the
Structuralist aesthetic of 1970s British experimental film. Revisiting this
exhibition as a moment rather than a movement, the students will reactivate
some of these works within a contemporary critical framework. Works shown
as part of this programme will include Kim Flitcroft and Sandra
Goldbacher’s Scratch video supercut Night of a Thousand Eyes (1984) and
Mark Wilcox’s surreal, proto-Lynchian videotape Calling the Shots (1984).

They will also invite these artists to reflect on the moment of The New
Pluralism and its legacy in British art and beyond. These interviews will
appear on the LUX website.

Blue Monday, Duvet Brothers (4 min, 1984)
Silent Film, Michael Maziere (15 min 1982)
Scratch Free State, George Barber (5 min, 1984)
Calling the Shots, Mark Wilcox (12 min, 1984)
Visual Art Songs for the 80s (#2: Beatnik), Marty St. James & Anne Wilson
(5 min, 1984)
Night of 1000 Eyes, Kim Flitcroft & Sandra Goldbacher (28 min,1984)

Part of the symposium Now That's What I Call Pluralism, presented as part
of the Strangelove Moving Image Festival at Central Saint Martins.

Free, booking essential.

[Frameworks] nail polish & bleaching film

[Kelly Gallagher]

Hello frameworks team,
Anyone know of any safer, less toxic/ less fume-y ways of doing the nail
polish (/rubber cement) & bleaching of film process? (À la Naomi Uman).
Anything similar to nail polish that would keep film emulsion through a
bleaching? (Without the fumes/ toxicity?) I'm thinking of trying non-toxic
nail polishes but not sure they'll hold through the bleaching like
drugstore ones do... (I've been using splicer tape in place of nail polish
for sections when I can, but I can't do that for the entire film. Protects
the wanted areas of emulsion through a bleaching like nail polish.)
Cheers,
Kelly Gallagher
