Re: [Frameworks] Looking for venue in Prague for animation program
Dear Tess, you should try Studio Béla (although only in Czech, this could give you an overview of their repertoire https://www.facebook.com/StudioBELA ) through their curator Klára Doležálková ( tutu...@gmail.com ). It is a cosy place run by an independent film distributor called Artcam. Bio Oko, Světozor and Aero (all pretty much similiar) are all run by another distributor called Aerofilms (http://www.aerofilms.cz/en/), so maybe make sure that people from Oko have checked with the other two cinemas which are all closely tied together. You can also try http://www.meetfactory.cz/en/ , which is a sort of multi-purpose gallery/theater space, but they usually plan well ahead as far as I know. I will ask around and think about some other non-cinematic places which could be appropriate, but Studio Béla would be my first choice, give it a shot.

I've already tried Bio Oko, Bio Ponrepo, Communication Space Školská 28 and iShorts, but unfortunately none of them are in a position to host during that time. I've also tried to contact the Avoid Gallery, Kino Svetozor, and NoD Roxy, but have not heard back. Anyone have any leads on venues or people I could contact to put on an awesome show in Prague?

[Frameworks] Fwd: Anémic Cinéma print(s) with inserted October (?) footage
Dear Frameworkers, I dare to seek your advice or comments on a rather curious version of Marcel Duchamp's Anémic Cinéma. This version is said to contain footage supposedly coming from Eisenstein's October and could be tracked down to Denmark (although it might not have originated there). Bruce Posner, who curated the Unseen Cinema project which has used this very version of Anémic Cinéma from the Danske Filminstitut for a DVD release (but with the October footage edited out in the end), was kind enough to point me in the direction of Tuby Mussman's writings on the film. The thing is that I'm trying to find any mention of this version (e.g. describing other imagery then the rotating disks), but haven't been successful with Mussman so far. What I know about is Bozena Jablonska's description including the October footage in Alicja Helman (ed.), Z dziejow awangardy filmowej, Katowice 1976. I'm not hoping for any detailed history of why and how this version came about, but at least by knowing about literature mentioning it could help me in establishing it's prevalence. Please excuse my potential overlooking of some otherwise well known sources, certain writings are hard to track down here from Prague, but nonetheless I believe I went through most of the relevant Duchampian/avantgarde film literature I am aware of. Neither was I was able to find any mention of this in any of the journals related to film archiving etc. Also my apologies go to those following both AMIA-L and Frameworks list, sorry for cross-posting.

Re: [Frameworks] copyrighted music in underground/experimental/avant-garde cinema
8mm 16mm home movies and other found footage for a local history film I'm planning. I might soon have to explore the legal issues of using found film. John -- *From:* Matěj Strnad matej.str...@gmail.com *To:* frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com *Sent:* Sunday, January 6, 2013 4:02:17 AM *Subject:* [Frameworks] copyrighted music in underground/experimental/avant-garde cinema Dear Frameworkers, I have a daring question regarding your experience with screening but especially publishing of experimental film/video works which feature copyrighted music. With today's level of copyright-crusade, I find it quite unlikely that anyone working now would deliberately choose copyrighted music without permission in his film (without perhaps conceptualizing it somehow). But there surely are many works from the times when this issue wasn't so exposed, I mean Harry Smith's films and such. I quite understand a certain touchiness of this subject (that is probably why I found so very little about it), but I would very welcome any relevant tips/readings/examples/contacts. It is not only my personal curiosity, dissatisfaction with how intellectual-property laws push economics over creativity (or effectively force us to disregard a part of our cultural heritage, so to speak). It is also that we are dealing with this problem right now (preserving and digitizing 8mm films from the 70s which were originally accompanied with copyrighted, US-record-label kind of music).

Re: [Frameworks] Experimental film in the Czech Republic
Hi, the Olomouc festival Pip mentioned is called PAF http://www.pifpaf.cz/en. The Jihlava festival does show some experimental films somehow trying to squeeze them into a category of experimental documentaries, it being a documentary festival in the first place, but it is definitely good place to go (starts in three weeks) for film culture in general. Then there are some occasional things happening for example in Skolska Gallery, Tranzit Display or in Kino Ponrepo (the film archive's cinema) or elsewhere, but nothing really regular. Feel free to contact me off-list, I'm a local, FAMU student.
