[Frameworks] Distributer for Sara Gómez: Ire a Santiago

2019-12-20 Thread Carl Elsaesser
Hi Framers,

I've been on a wild goose chase to track down Ire a Santiago by the film
maker Sara Gómez, but still can't find any lead. Any one know where one
could rent her work or who has the rights to her films?

All my best,
Carl Elsaesser

Would Joyce Wieland + Hollis Frampton's  A + B in 
Ontario<https://film-makerscoop.com/catalogue/joyce-wieland-a-andamp-b-in-ontario>
 count? Wieland and Frampton shot it in 1967, the

Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson's

Though, sure, I wouldn't say these are overlooked or under-appreciated. I'm

Subject: [Frameworks] The Participatory Camera

Hi Frameworkers,

Sorry to hit the list with one of those periodic crowd-sourcing requests, but 
I'm curious if anyone can recommend experimental films from the 1960s-80s, 
especially overlooked or under-appreciated, where the camera could be said to 
"participate" in the actions depicted, rather than simply to "observe." I 
understand that these distinctions are not so black-and-white, and, construed 
broadly, any instance of shooting film could be called "participatory." But I'm 
thinking more of examples like Carolee Schneemann's FUSES, where the camera is 
integrated into Carolee and Tenney's sexual life, and they pass it back and 
forth; or Brakhage's WEDLOCK HOUSE: AN INTERCOURSE, where Stan & Jane pass the 
camera back-and-forth during an argument. CHRISTMAS ON EARTH is another 
candidate. Anyone have similar examples of 
camera-sharing/participation/interaction with the instrument, however you want 
to construe such a thing?

Thanks for your assistance!

best,
John

Thanks for the response Fred. Somewhere in in the recesses of my mind I
thought of you when posting the question, a. because for decades I've
respected your insights, and b., because one of your most memorable posts
contained your statement (at least this is how I remember it.) that
Beethoven's Grosse Fuge is a definitive avant garde work.  A smile inducing
and welcome statement in the context of Frameworks.

 

As to anonymity, community and the internet, I prefer my community to
involve warm bodies sharing tangible space. Not to say the I don't
appreciate Frameworks, I do. And it's fascinating and heartening to know
that there are disembodied consciousnesses out there that profess to care
about something I believe I care about. But this is no fun to type about
abstractly. 

 

So, I'm Robert Harris. I live in greater Boston. I teach filmmaking (actual
16mm bolex/arri filmmaking in addition to digital video that everyone seems
to think should be called film) at Fitchburg State University in central
Massachusetts. I used to be involved with Anthology Film Archives Video
Program in 70's and 80's.

The program for which I'm planning a sound design component is the New York
State Summer School of the Arts.  Its a program I've run for 25 years,
having inherited it from Gerald O'Grady.

A few lurking frame workers have taught with me and/or been visiting
artists. Maybe even some former students out there. Tony Conrad taught in
the program under O'Grady. Sharits probably had a bit to do with the program
moving to my care. The program is for high school students.  We teach 16mm
film, digital video, digital photo, computer animation, and electronic
sound.  Watching healthy amounts of experimental film, from 16mm prints, has
always been an essential part of the program.

 

So that's that.

I appreciate the suggestions that have been offered, though I've not yet
found what I'm hoping for in the preliminary samplings I've been able to
view and hear.

So many works have music tracks, orchestral music, jazz, electronic music,
pop.sometimes with narration.  Sometimes the music is great, sometimes it's
lacking, but my search is for sound design that reaches farther or deeper
than sound track music. I enjoyed re-watching The End  but it's "just" text
and music.  Invocation of My Demon Brother  is "just" Mick Jagger's
electronic noodlings on a MOOG.  Robert Withers just posted that Abigail
Child's work is worthy, and I agree.  A title I didn't mention earlier is
Robert Gardner's Forests of Bliss.  Deborah Stratman frequently does great
sound work.  

I'm just hopeful that I learn that there is more really rich stuff out
there.  Sound is pretty wonderful.

To be contrary, I'd suggest Christopher Maclaine's The End and The Man Who
Invented Gold. They are very great films, in my view but not in everyone's,
with great soundtracks that do not meet your criteria, but they are not
"strictly intellectual" either -- far from it. Made with minimal means, they
might seem amateurish to someone who hated them.

Then there's my favorite Bruce Baillie sound track, the one for Tung. But
check into what i mean before renting the film.

Thanks, Todd – that’s really helpful! It does seem like one could figure out 
something using rewinds. I notice one difference between the loaders is that on 
mine the end of the center axle ends with a pulley wheel. Which makes me think 
there was another part to it that would turn the belt. maybe?

 

Anyway, thanks for your help!

Hi Carl,

 

Here's a link to some photos of the loader:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uxtk8fn768753yr/kO5KwtzU6NkKQkw2YwM3a?dl=0

 

Not sure if I've set it up correctly, or there aren't parts missing, but it 
works. I'm sure you could rig something up with rewinds and a rod to guide the 
film in at the right angle.

 

Looking at the tanks, I think one of them originally had the centre tube but 
it's been removed and the hole brazed up with a metal patch. They sat in the 
original owner's basement since the 70s, when he did light shows and film loops 
for psychedelic bands. 

 

Cheers,

 

Todd

[Frameworks] help identifying this film tank

2016-05-11 Thread carl
Hi Frameworks, 

 

I’m wondering if anyone knows anything about what looks to me like a film 
developing tank. I’ve posted pictures here:

http://mediastudy.buffalo.edu/10090-2/

 

What you can’t really see in the pictures is that the bottom of the tank 
actually has 3 concentric tank bottoms, each a little larger than the other. 
The top part of the tank (the one with the tube sticking out of it) only fits 
on the innermost tank. You can kind of see it in the last photo. Also, it’s 
pretty big – about 17” diameter…. It seems like there should be other parts to 
it? Or?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Oh, more jungle gym than swings, sure, but the crows do also collect across a

Re: [Frameworks] Titles of scratch films

2015-08-25 Thread Carl E Bogner


Tess, hi -


I had a colleague in the Film Department, recently transplanted to Ann Arbor, 
who wouldn't let a frame of her film go through the gate unless she had 
scratched on it.


I overstate but Naz Dincel's practice relentlessly involves scratching on her 
film -- or, that is to say, involves relentless scratching. Her film "Her 
Silent Seaming" -- to cite an example -- was a Jury Award winner at FLEX this 
year and also screened at Images, among other places.


(I think she has her ear to the ground so she may respond to you off-list? Naz, 
contact Tess.)


Also there is that propositional film that Frampton talked about in "A 
Lecture," its constantly inscribed scratch transplanting what the film is about 
from "Lana Turner" to that very scratch, if I recall correctly.


What's with Roger Beebe's premature fatigue? Man!

Re: [Frameworks] Kid-friendly films?

2015-07-13 Thread Carl E Bogner
Dan,

One of the best things I have been able to see this year was the Saturday 
morning cartoon 16mm program that EYEWORKS presented at Jesse Malmed's 
LIVE-TO-TAPE FESTIVAL in Chicago this last May.

The program was entitled "Make Me Psychic" and featured films by Sally 
Cruikshank, Kathy Rose, Trixy Sweetvittles, and Amy Lockhart. Some of the 
prints -- the Cruikshank and the (sublime) Rose films -- were, I think, from 
the holdings of Chicago Filmmakers, do I have that right?

I was smacked out on all of the free breakfast cereals provided and am old, but 
I thought it was all a delight, giddy and transcendent, of possible interest to 
your programming. Psychedelic/trippy presented, understood, as also 
kid-friendly?

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for avant-garde films that go over 
well with kids (12 and up). I'm not very good with censorship and always forget 
that there is something  "inappropriate" with most of my favorite movies... 
even just a good PG narrative is hard to find..

So far my go-to is usually "Neighbours" by McLaren, and "Dr. Strangelove" for a 
good narrative that won't get me in trouble..

thanks!

Re: [Frameworks] Andrew Noren

2015-05-25 Thread Carl E Bogner

The concluding -- and personal favorite -- passage from that Andrew Noren / 
Scott MacDonald interview (in Critical Cinema 2) that Mr. Youngblood referred 
to earlier:


“The absolute best thing I’ve seen recently and certainly the most avant-garde 
was a lightning storm over southern New Jersey. It was so spectacular and 
sophisticated and surely one of the all-time great movies. It was incredibly 
powerful and intricate and intelligent and terrifying. It blasted us awake at 
two a.m. and we watched it through the black frame of the back door: vivid, 
intense, electric presentation of every last single detail of each bush, tree, 
leaf-of-grass. Vibrating out of absolute blackness in blinding, blue-white 
light, figure and ground switching places several times a second. Violent 
dimensional collisions, macroscopic magnification of the smallest things. Then 
everything vanishing into blackness so intense that the after-images were 
almost as strong as the original. And sound! Earth-shattering contrapuntal 
booms and blasts of such power I was sure the house would be blown away. I wish 
I could begin to describe it. It was wonderful, and as avant-garde is it gets. 
We were enchanted.”

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Andrew Noren

Yes. Noren was an amazing filmmaker with an incredible body of work that threw 
done some serious aesthetic challenges and expressed, in purely visual terms, a 
very complex aesthetics-based philosophy that to me is incredibly deep and 
profound and still shakes me up to think about. I posted the following to 
facebook and paste it here too...

Today I learned that the great filmmaker Andrew Noren died a few weeks ago from 
cancer, age 72 (I think). For those who don't know, Noren's films were among 
the most visually intense and overwhelming films ever created. Noren was a 
master 16mm photographer, a master of capturing motion and a master of 16mm 
black & white (I never had the opportunity to see his color films but I'm told 
they were amazing as well). Noren's films tended to be long-form (30+ minutes) 
and were (the ones I've seen) relentless barrages of imagery—very fast cutting, 
incredible single-framing and time lapse—that only would pause for the briefest 
of moments. Generally (the films I've seen) shot in cities during the course of 
daily life, the films emphasize the passing of time and—in their speed and 
Noren's uncanny way of rendering solid forms as fragile and ephemeral—seem to 
be constantly concerned with not only passing time but the brevity of life. By 
the time I came to film, Noren—a contemporary and filmmaker-in-dialog-with 
Brakhage, Dorsky, Gehr and all those guys—had largely withdrawn his films from 
distribution and had done the (probably deliberate, although I don't know) slow 
fade into relative obscurity. Each rare screening of Noren's aggressive (if 
overwhelming) films was an occasion for ones personal sense of visuality (as 
well as filmmaking and film history) to be altered permanently, and for the 
better, in that these films feel like wake-up call jolts to the senses and made 
you feel exhileratingly alive (albeit in intense ways—given that they 
stressed—to me—the brevity of life and the non-reality of the physical world, 
they also really shook me up in ways that few other films have). His earlier 
films (which I've not seen) were attempts to document all aspects of his life 
on film and were—this is documented—the direct inspiration for DAVID HOLZMAN'S 
DIARY. It's really too bad that his films didn't screen more often but in later 
years Noren—a classic, intensely opinionated curmudgeonly filmmaker—did not 
make it easy. I was really glad to have seen him in person (and meet him 
briefly) at Pacific Film Archive in 2005 and to have screened IMAGINARY LIGHT, 
via San Francisco 
Cinematheque<https://www.facebook.com/sanfranciscocinematheque>, at SFMOMA in 
2012...

[Frameworks] Technical advice in the Bay Area

2013-03-13 Thread Carl Elsaesser
Hey there experimental film world,

I was wondering if there was any film person in the bay area that would be
up for meeting up sometime and giving me some technical advice. I'm working
on a film, shooting 16mm with a bolex outfitted with a motor and 400ft
reel. With all the shifts and discontinuations in Kodak and Fuji, I feel a
little out of the loop. I'd buy the coffee or the alcohol...

Respond to my email elsaess...@gmail.com or to my phone: 207-607-2610


Much love,
carl

Re: [Frameworks] Singularity and intentional incoherence

2013-01-24 Thread Carl Lee

Hi Ittai --

My memory is hazy, but I remember there's a Jane Campion film -- I think 
it might be The Piano, but possibly an earlier film than that -- where a 
girl is telling a story and it suddenly cuts to a short hand-drawn 
animation sequence.  It's the only moment in the film that's like that 
(the rest of the movie is "live-action") and it's never really explained 
why we're seeing it like this, though it does relate to the story the 
girl is telling.  (If I'm remembering correctly...it's possible I'm just 
imagining remembering it.but I'm sure others on fw would know for sure.)

This is interesting – thanks for asking a fresh question. As a

 Filmmaker Hollis Frampton made a film titled “Hapax Legomena”
which immediately comes to mind.
And although Mel Brooks doesn’t make this list too often, he’s
going to hit it twice right away. A good example of your singular
event would be in his Western film “Blazing Saddles,” the cowboys
are galloping across the plains and the movie music is playing on
the soundtrack, sounds like Count Basie and His Orchestra – well
my goodness, it IS Count  Basie and His Orchestra and the cowboys
just rode right past them, out there on the plains. It’s a simple
thing, played for laughs – the previously unseen soundtrack
orchestra revealed – but it is quite a singular moment.  And for
many people it probably changed, at least a little bit, the way
they think about “movie music.”
There is the moment in Jem Cohen’s “Lost Book Found” when the
conventional “unseen narrator” voice slowly fades out and is
replaced by a different, unexpected voice, delivering a more
cryptic message. It is a pivotal moment in that film. Similarly,
in Raul Ruiz’s “Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting” a guy is
sitting in a chair talking in rather flat tones, it becomes
increasingly boring, he slows down…. and he falls asleep. On
camera, the narration just goes to sleep. I only saw that film
once and am probably not remembering this correctly, but I do
remember the singularity of my experience sitting there,
listening to this guy, trying to make sense of it, getting a bit
bored, then watching him nod off. That woke me up!

Hi

My name is Ittai Rosenbaum, I am a doctoral student at the music
composition department at UCSC and in the process of defining my
Qualification Exams topics. I wondered if anyone could perhaps
have interesting knowledge or insights about a subject in film
theory that might parallel one of my topics.

I am interested in singular events in composition: events that
occur only once, contrasted and incoherent to the main musical
language of the work, yet deliberately conceived and
intentionally inserted in the composition, contributing, by way
of distraction and surprise, to the conception of the piece.

Coherence seems to constitute a compulsory element in
composition, and even incoherence (surprise, collage etc.) as it
happens in the music of, say, Charles Ives, George Crumb or John
Zorn, becomes coherent and even homogenous once it recurs. I
suspect that/singular/, incoherent events may ha

2012-08-18 Thread Carl Elsaesser
Perhaps this is a touchy subject on this list, but I'd love to hear what
anyone has to say on the subject of film MFAs. I am just starting the
research phase of applying and any direction would be much appreciated.
There seems to be such a polemic between film schools geared towards
positioning students for industry jobs and film schools that focus more on
individual practice, conceptualization, experimentation... And while I'd
say I am way more on the later side, I'd certainly love to find a school
that has a good technical foundation. Other than that, I'm looking for a
school that offers working as a TA, or full rides... which seems harder and
harder to find And just to throw it out there, any thoughts on Berlin?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I figured who better to ask!

Thanks so much,

[Frameworks] blackout fabric as screen material?

2012-07-10 Thread Carl Lee
Hi Frameworkers -

Has anyone had experience using white blackout fabric as screen 
material?  It's for a 3-screen video installation and I was thinking 
about using it to cover a seam where two portable wall come together.  
I'm assuming I'd have to build a frame?  Also, I guess I'd have to have 
it for all three projections to make sure the brightness matches?

As I write this, I'm thinking it'd be simpler and cheaper to tape, 
compound, and paint the drywallBut I'd still appreciate any thoughts 
or experiences with blackout fabric!

Thanks,
Carl

Re: [Frameworks] Digital Playback for Festivals, Etc.

2012-02-27 Thread Carl Lee
I would add that another very cool thing about the WD TV Live media 
players in particular is that some folks in the Netherlands have written 
open source software called HDSync that allows you to network multiple 
players for synchronized playback.  It takes a little tweaking (it's 
open source and you have to update the firmware on the players) and it 
helps to know some unix (I didn't, but got help and learned a tiny bit) 
but it's a great, CHEAP solution for synched, multi-channel 
installation-type situations.

This is their website if anyone is interested:
http://syncstarter.org/hdsync/

I used it for a 3-channel HD video (h.264 wrapped in quicktime) and it 
worked great.

Not sure if this is the one you're looking for, but there's a great doc

[Frameworks] non-profit sponsorship for applying for grants!

2011-11-10 Thread carl elsaesser
Hey workers,
I am trying to get several grants for a new film I am developing, but most
of the applications require non-profit status or partnership. I was
wondering if anyone knows of a non-profit film organization that I could
team up with so I could apply for these grants. I would work out some sort
of deal to cut the board a part of the check. I am located in San
Francisco, but I am not sure that matters... If any one has any advice or
could point me towards an organization that could help out it would be much
appreciated.

I plan on living over the next year or so with several facebook, googlers
and a variety of other start up web based executives and their families ( I
have already gotten permission from several people). I am fascinated with a
life that is so invested in an abstract and infinite space. How has this
lifestyle changed the poetic web of associations in these families. What is
intimacy now? How has this, and to a larger extent non-privacy and the
internet in general, play into how someone engages with nature. What is a
forest now?  How is language used and where does perspective lie when
someone invests so much time creating these two online.

Some of the people I would be living with develop the invisible functions
that limit and streamline our everyday internet use, from the push for
localizing personal internet searches so that the internet 'gets to know
you' to defining large masses of people on patterns that confuse individual
identity with projections of identity.

Most importantly this project will remain more as poetry than documentary,
churning and pulling apart some of these tensions as opposed to observing
as a static web-camera does. In order to address these ideas I have started
to collaborate with several dancers and other experimental film-makers
improvising and exploring different processes on going about this project.
And before I actually start production I'll need some financial support.

Thanks for any advice or criticism!

Too much love,

[Frameworks] Come see rare and beautiful films at Oddball 16mm Films (San Francisco) this Saturday October 1st<>!><<<

2011-09-28 Thread carl elsaesser
*“I Was Once an Angel with Thick Wings’: Cindy Collins”*. Oddball Films
guest curator
cArl Elsaesser explores the mind of Cindy Collins from these rare, personal
home movies and
her fascination with Angels. By combining the tape recordings she left
behind and her 16mm
silent films (color and B+W) with other filmmakers’ conceptions of Angels
this program weaves
together disparate conceptions of angels across multiple cinematic genres
including feature
films, experiment and animated shorts and television commercials.
Cindy documented her family from the 1940’s through the 1960’s capturing
both the awkward
moments of the extremely wealthy and a tender intimacy that unhinges the
images from
their time. Together with her amateur films and sound recordings we’ll
screen an excerpt
from Luis Buñuel’s infamous film “Exterminating Angel” (1962), animated
short “Night Angel”
(1988) produced by the National Film Board of Canada, “A Dream of Wild
Horses” (1962) the
landmark short film directed by Denys Colomb Daunant, and perhaps even some
Charlie’s
Angels commercials!
Date: Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 8:00PM.
