Re: [Frameworks] Christopher MacLaine

[Fred Camper]

I have an old short article on Maclaine at 
http://fredcamper.com/Film/Maclaine.html


The rare book collection at the University of California Berkeley, the 
Bancroft Library I believe, has books of Maclaine's poetry and copies of 
journals he edited.


If someone is doing a massive photocopy order for these, I can go 
"halfsies" on it.

(...who is still astounded by posts to an international mailing list 
that don't even mention the city, even posts about spaces for rent. 
These are almost invariably from New York or San Francisco, as if 
everyone knows in what city the "G" train runsThe old cliche about 
certain big city residents who assume that everyone worth anything lives 
in their city seems to still be true, if only about subconscious 
assumptions. Or of course there is also simple forgetfulness...)

Yes we still carry Maclaine's films on DVD.
The booklet is from Brakhage's chapter in FILM AT WIT'S END, which is 
enlightening and funny!

And I may be wrong, but I think Mark Webber has written extensively about
MacLaine's films too. Could be another lead...

Brakhage has an essay about MacLaine in his book, Film At Wit's End,  
available from https://www.mcphersonco.com/

Hello Gene,

Along with talking to Lawrence Jordan, he should also talk to Brecht

Brakhage in Radical Light discussing Maclaine.


Brecht---along with Brian Darr---conducted a massive, multipart  
examination of  Maclaine's The End for the SFMOMA's blog Open Space.  
(https://openspace.sfmoma.org/2010/09/in-search-of-christopher-maclaine-the-end-tour-1/ 
). It is a totally enjoyable, exhaustive autopsy of the film as they  
try and identify the locations throughout the Bay Area, and the  
folks who were in it, triangulating fragments of data, and providing  
tons of fascinating historical context.


I know that Brecht has spoken extensively with many people who knew  
Maclaine personally, including about his poetry. Your friend should  
most definitely reach out to him.


I can provide his email address off list.
