[Frameworks] Now! A Journal of Urgent Praxis - Call for NEW WORKS!

[Kelly Sears]

 As social, economic, and environmental crises mount, and precarity
increasingly becomes the defining condition of our age, the struggle for
justice requires forceful amplification.

Now!  A Journal of Urgent Praxis seeks to
provide a bullhorn, foregrounding NEW WORKS, conceived in response to these
NEW TIMES.

We seek:

NEW WORK! URGENT WORK! RADICAL WORK! CHEAP WORK!

NEW: Made in reply to something happening Now!

URGENT: Made with the velocity of the radical NEWSREEL. 7 days, start to
finish. 8 days is already a cheat. (But we’ll allow it.)

RADICAL: The outlook is TRANSFORMATION. The center can’t hold.

CHEAP: The budget is exactly what is at hand. Now! NEW WORKS aren’t
suffocated by poverty. They are instigated by it!

NEW WORKS of all durations will be considered. However, Now! is the
descendent of Noticiero ICAIC, and therefore shorter works are encouraged.

THE SKINNY: Make it fast. Make it radical. Make it cheap. Send us the link.
(santiagoalvarezli...@gmail.com) We’ll reply in one week or less. NEW WORKS
will be posted monthly, as they are produced.

Now! isn’t for festivals. It isn’t for museums. It isn’t for bankers.

Re: [Frameworks] DVD to .MOV on Mac OS Yosemite

[Kelly Sears]

I'm a fan of MacX DVD Ripper.  I think you get 5 free rips without any
watermarks and then you have to pay $40.

Best,

Kelly

 Ripit still works with Yosemite - not free but worth the 25$ as a stable
 supported decryption tool for commercial DVD’s. I use MPEG Streamclip to
 export the decrypted .VOB files (stream) to a .mov or whatever - not sure it
 works with Yosemite (it’s free so you can try). QuickTime Pro (ver. 7) will
 also convert .VOB files to .mov but not sure it will glue disparate .VOB’s
 that are often the byproduct of commercial DVD’s to a stream like MPEG
 Streamclip will. However, with a little poking around the .VOB files you can
 usually find the main one for a film (without supplements, etc) and use QT
 Pro to convert as a one-shot. Beyond that I am not sure what else is out
 there - pretty sure no all-in-one tool exists, that would be too easy : )

 Subject: [Frameworks] DVD to .MOV on Mac OS Yosemite

 Hi all,

 Sorry to ask this simple question, but I just got a new Mac Book Pro, with
 OS Yosemite.
 How does one now rip a (commercial, region encoded) DVD to a ProRes .mov
 file?  Mac the Ripper doesn’t work; Handbrake doesn’t get you to .MOV.
 Boards online are cluttered with people hawking software.

 Best regards,

 Adam

  I agree this is a particularly apt example.

  While not quite so visually abstract, for some earlier theoretical
 discussions of the political aspects of (relatively) abstract (or
 minimalist) film, you could look at Peter Gidal's edited collection of
 essays on what he called Structural/Material film (most polemically in his
 own films and writings; the others discussed are sort of roped in, IMHO).
  And preceding that, Noel Burch's book, Theory of Film Practice, has lots
 of interesting insights into work emerging especially in the 1960s, reading
 both politics and form in challenging ways.

Re: [Frameworks] abstraction and politics

[Kelly Sears]

Thank you everyone for your responses.  These are satisfying the itch
behind this question.  I very much agree, the terms 'political' and
'abstract' both have so much grey area around them.  I'm interested in
exploring these varying degrees  of grey behind this question.

Brakhage's production as an argument/strategy against commodified, object
oriented production,  is something I'm very interested.  I'm interested in
Politics with a capital P refering to specific event-based narratives as
well as politics with a lower case p- and the Brakhage/object-oriented
consumer conversation is a fantastic example of that.

In my own work, I'm thinking about the tension between the figure and
animated textures and am looking at other textural work that can embody
some kind P/political narrative.  Roger, I'm excited to follow up on your
suggestions.

Thanks again for taking the time to chime in.

All the best,

Kelly

 Of course, Brakhage, and of course, 23rd Psalm Branch. I have also
 argued, for example in my liner notes  for the Criterion DVD, that his work
 as a whole constitutes an argument against our object-oriented,
 commodified, static, consumerist culture. This to me is arguably a
 profounder statement than a film that takes a particular position on a
 particular issue of the day.

 In his remarks at the premiere of The Text of Light, published in
 several sources, he talks about opposing the typical American view of
 landscape as real estate, something to be divided up and bought and sold.

 Quoting marilyn brakhage v...@shaw.ca:

  While they probably wouldn't normally be considered political, some Stan
 Brakhage films are short, abstract works that can be seen, at least in
 part, as meditations on certain cultural histories.  For examples:
  Unconscious London Strata, In Consideration of Pompeii, b Series
 (containing Retrospect:  The Passover, Blue Black Introspection, Blood
 Drama, I Am Afraid:  And This Is My Fear, and Sorrowing), Three
 Homerics, The Egyptian Series, Persian Series and Chinese Series.  .
 . . And of course, 23rd Psalm Branch, perhaps his most political film,
 does have significant abstract passages.

  Dear frameworkers,

 I would love to pick your collective brain about some film/videos that
 use abstraction to address political, social, or cultural histories.   I
 would double love it if anyone had any suggestions of writings on this

 strategy and lack of the figurative or representational could be used in a
 political/critical way.

 Many thank yous.
