Re: [Frameworks] Conner/Marker and women of color suggestions
THANK YOU for all the folks that made suggestions on Conner/Marker alternatives. I greatly appreciate you taking the effort and am excited about what new works I can include in my classes. ALSO, on a side note EXPLODED VIEW MICROCINEMA in Tucson is still here, but we are taking a programming break to focus on other projects. That being said, if experimental filmmakers are going to be passing through the area, please connect with me about doing a show while you are here.

[Frameworks] Conner/Marker and women of color suggestions
In a university production course have shown both Conner's "A Movie" as a prompt for student found footage editing assignment and Marker's "La Jete" for photographic composition and sequencing. I would be grateful for suggestions of short works by specifically women of color that could be used as I mentioned above.

[Frameworks] Pageant lenses for "Empire" screening
We are looking to borrow/rent for a pair of matched 1"-1.5" lenses for a Pageant projectors for screening of Warhol's compete *Empire * at Exploded View Microcinema in Tucson on April 29.

Re: [Frameworks] Noren
Hey Scott, Do you think there is any way that we could screen an Andrew Noren program at Exploded View in Tucson? I have an understanding that Andrew was influenced by the landscape of the Chihuahua monument in SE AZ (large volcanic desert monoliths) What film could this be?

New experimental film venue in Tucson I wanted to let the Frameworks community know that we are opening a new microcinema this fall called Exploded View in Tucson! Rebecca Barten and myself (David Sherman) ran Total Mobile Home microCINEMA in San Francisco in the 90's and we did many wonderful shows with visiting filmmakers such as Nathaniel Dorsky, Scott Stark, Henry Hills, Zoe Beloff, Bruce Baillie and even Sidney Peterson!

The Fall is pretty much booked but if any filmmakers are planning tours, or visits (Robert Breer retired here in Tucson!) to the Southwest corridor in the coming year, please send us a query. Additionally, we are on a hunt for 1 1/2 lenses that will work for the throw of our space. We have Kodak Pageant, Singer Graflex, and Elmo CL projectors. If you have, or know of such 1 1/2 lenses that could be obtained free or at a reasonable cost, please contact us.
