Re: [Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Jonathan Walley]

Hi Jihoon,

Thanks for your email - good to hear from you. I’ve been in touch with Minyong, 
who has kindly agreed to send me his film (which I’m very excited about).

Hope all is well with you.
Best,
Jonathan

Re: [Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Ji-hoon Felix Kim]

Hi Jonathan,

I recently came to know that Jang Minyong's *Dark Room* has not been
distributed by any institution but has been handled by Jang himself. Thus,
if you haven't known his contact info, I will be able to forward it to you.
Please contact me personally in that case.


All the best,

- Jihoon

Re: [Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Gene Youngblood]

If one wanted sort of “introductory” or otherwise contextualizing shots, 
there’s an external view of the San Francisco camera obscura in one of Nick 
Dorsky’s earlier films, and maybe also at the end of “Flower Thief.” Then 
there’s an interior in Bertolucci’s “Before the Revolution” where the reflected 
image turns to color while the rest of the frame remains black and white.

Hi Pip,

Thanks so much for these suggestions - I was able to see extracts of these 
online (including on the Light Cone site) and think they’re both terrific. I’m 
putting an order in with Light Cone tomorrow.

Best,
Jonathan

Re: [Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Patrick Friel]

I strongly second Thomas Comerford¹s pinhole films!

Gioli has more than the one pinhole that Pip mentions.

Minyong¹s THE DARK ROOM is a very beautiful film.  Canyon doesn¹t seem to
have it; it¹s probably only available from him.  According to his Facebook,
he¹s back in South Korea (he went to SFAI).

Ernie Gehr¹s video/digital work is only available from him directly, as far
as I know.

Tomonari Nishikawa¹s CLEAR BLUE SKY is not a pinhole film (video), per se,
but uses a narrow slit to achieve a sort of similar effect.  Plus, it¹s
lovely.

Re: [Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Albert Alcoz]

Some Robert Schaller films like Under the shadow of Marcus mountain were
also made using a pinhole camera:
http://www.robertschaller.org/film/

*Terra incognita* (2002) by Ben Russell.

Aïm Deüelle Lüski
​ has work on super 8 and has design some curious pinhole cameras but maybe
just for pictures.. Some of them were exhibited here:
http://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/lavirreina/es/exposiciones/aim-deuelle-luski-imagenes-residuales-fotografia-documental-en-tiempos-oscuros

*Glider* by Ernie Gehr
​i​
s such a marvelous
​and surprising ​
work.

Re: [Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Pip Chodorov]

Paolo Gioli's FILM STENOPEICO was made in 16mm using a pinhole camera.

And Patrick Bokanowski's LA FEMME QUI SE POUDRE is a beautiful film 
made using a camera obscura and reworked glass  (he called his lenses 
subjectifs instead of objectifs)

Thomas Comerford has made a number of films using handmade pinhole cameras. He 
teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

[Frameworks] Camera obscura films

[Jonathan Walley]

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for experimental films (including videos) about camera obscuras, 
and/or made using camera obscuras or pinhole cameras. I know about Glider by 
Ernie Gehr and Minyong Jang’s The Dark Room, although I don’t know who 
distributes these (anyone know?). But any other suggestions are welcome.

This is for a week-long event at Denison in April featuring camera 
obscura-based installations by Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder. More 
information, for those of you in/around/sort of near central Ohio, will be 
forthcoming.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Yours in obscurity,
Jonathan
