Re: [Frameworks] experimental/feminist films with a woman's voice-over narration?

[Toni-Lynn Frederick]

Hi

What Food Did (1996) has voiceover narration done by a female (me). It was part 
of the Magnetic North touring exhibit—a collaboration between Video Pool and 
the Walker Arts Centre, if I recall. I believe USC and possibly Harvard have 
copies, plus there’s a very thick catalogue for the show. 

Feel free to contact me off-list, if you like.

Best wishes

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Super8 digital camera

[Toni-Lynn Frederick]

Hello

Maybe I’m a lone voice on this forum, but I’m actually quite excited about 
Kodak’s new Super 8 film camera, and I find it somewhat disappointing to read 
so much negativity about an attempt to offer a new Super 8 film camera to a 
digital world. 

I’ve hardly drank the Kokak Kool-Aid, but if I wanted to look at things with a 
less conspiratorial eye, I’d see it as Kodak attempting to bridge the gap 
between digital and celluloid — and between generations of users — because 
there is a market there. If one neither wants nor needs that bridge, then don’t 
buy it. 

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but is it not the case that, with the creation 
of this camera, comes the guarantee of continued stock production — or at least 
it means that raw film stock won’t disappear as soon as some of us feared? 

That’s got to be worth something, no?

Maybe I just get too excited about new gear, though ;)

Re: [Frameworks] mental problems

[Toni-Lynn Frederick]

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but there’s a great sequence in 
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz where the family hires an experimental 
filmmaker to document their son’s bar mitzvah….

Or, really, anything from the Death and the Family exhibit, of which The

Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material

[Toni-Lynn Frederick]

Hi

If you want inexpensive, you can buy a roll of plastic table cloth material 
from a party store, and cut it to the desired length.  It hangs lovely, and can 
take front or rear projection. Of course, there’s always just regular canvas. 
I’ve used both materials and they work just fine, though I sprayed the canvas 
with super hot water to make it nice and taut.

Best of luck — and please let us know what you end up using, and how that goes 
for you!

Re: [Frameworks] Basement Films is being evicted from the studio we have occupied for 20+ years - help!

[Toni-Lynn Frederick]

With or without a lease agreement, is it even legal to give someone, especially 
a long-term tenant, just 30 days to vacate their rental?

Have you thought of creating an online petition (such as, "sumofus") in order 
to press for an eviction deferral?  I'd sign it!

Good luck
