[Frameworks] From Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles with LOVE

2015-08-13 Thread Paolo Davanzo
Hello, Friends and Frameworks Family!

This is the ECHO PARK FILM CENTER in Los Angeles sending a little cinematic 
love your direction. In case you are unfamiliar with our activities we are a 
media arts center, screening venue, film school, coop and an international 
itinerant cinema project. (www.echoparkfilmcenter.org)
This may be a strange email to send out on Frameworks (as most of you still 
actively work in film) but we thought some of you may live in Southern 
California and want to donate some of your dormant gear. We also sent out a 
special message to all our members (2400 people strong) and asked them for 
their film gear getting lonely somewhere out there  - in their dusty attics, 
basements and storage spaces waiting patiently to be resurrected!

W are writing because we have seen a real spike in people's interest and 
excitement to work with analog technology and we can't keep up with the demand 
for 16mm  Super 8mm cameras and projectors. 

We will gladly give a great home to most any FILM and AV gear you don't need 
with a special plea for 16mm and Super 8mm cameras, projectors and splicers in 
good working order for our community classes and workshops.

Please send us an email (off list) if you would like to donate any gear to the 
cause. We can give you a TAX ID Letter and a big hug. 

Thanks,
The EPFC FAMILY

[Frameworks] Echo Park Film Center - Good things come in THREES!

2014-11-14 Thread Paolo Davanzo
Dear Frameworkers and extended experimental film family,

We are writing from the Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles to send our love 
and alert you all to three wonderful and exciting things happening in the next 
few weeks at EPFC. For those unfamiliar with our organization, we are a media 
arts center located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles since 2001. We 
basically do 5 things: Screen experimental and documentary films and videos in 
our 60-seat microcinema.Teach free and low-cost film and video classes. Run an 
equipment rental co-op and retail store. Operate a traveling film school and 
cinema known as the EPFC Filmmobile. And host local and international artist 
residency programs. 

Here are the THREE things we want to share with you all!

LA AIR ( Los Angeles Artist-in-Residency Program) - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

In addition to our International Artist Residency we offer ever August (see 
website for details), We invite local artists to utilize EPFC resources in 
creating and premiering new, experimental, documentary, and personal work over 
a two-month period. We especially encourage applications from artists 
interested in engaging with EPFC's areas of specialty: small gauge film, 
progressive politics  community activism, alternative and handmade 
photochemical processes, local histories, multidisciplinary work, and expanded 
cinema. Additionally, we encourage artists to engage with the greater EPFC 
community during the course of their residency. Previous artists-in-residence 
have included public workshops, curatorial programs, multi-media 
collaborations, class visits as part of their residency. 
Artists are provided with a modest materials stipend in addition to equipment 
access, technical and creative support, and work/exhibition space at EPFC's 900 
square foot storefront in the Alvarado Arts Building at the corner of Alvarado 
and Sunset. LA AIR artists will present their completed work at a free public 
screening in the EPFC microcinema on the last Thursday of their residency 
cycle. LA AIR projects will be compiled and released as a limited edition set 
each year.

EPFC’s LA AIR program is open to artists of all ages and backgrounds who are 
living in the Los Angeles area, that are not currently enrolled in a degree 
program. Applications are due no later than 5 PM on Saturday, November 15. Each 
application must include a brief description of the proposed project to be 
started and completed during the residency period, along with any workshops or 
community engagement ideas, on a single page. We also require links to view 
past work online, complete works are much preferred over excerpts. Additional 
information such as CVs, resumes, bios, etc are helpful if you have them. 
Artists chosen for the LA AIR program will be announced at our December 6th New 
Works Salon Marathon event!

INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN

We took the plunge and have launched our first ever indiegogo crowdfunding 
campaign. After 13 years.we are beginning to show the signs of our age and 
are looking to buy new gear for community classes and workshops and update our 
website. If you believe in the power and beauty of community cinema to change 
lives then please make a donation.

Re: [Frameworks] Films/Videos looking at concepts of work

2014-01-08 Thread Paolo Davanzo
Hello Insa.

The Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles did a project in 2010 entitled WORK. 
There were 23 short films that examined various aspects of work (immigration, 
globalization, bad jobs, good jobs,  capitalism, neighborhood stories,  etc...)

It is powerful piece. We would be happy to mail you a DVD. 

Be well,

The EPFC Family

 Dear Frameworkers, 
 
 I would like to build a list of video art and films which look at aspects, 
 concepts and realities of work. One piece I came across recently is Johan 
 van der Keuken's Temps/Travail (1999).
 
 Does anyone have any other suggestions?
 
 Thanks,
