[Frameworks] cfp: Russian and Soviet experimental and documentary films of the Global Arctic
We are seeking proposals for a volume entitled Films on Ice: Arctic Imaginations, Landscapes, and Populations in Twentieth Century Moving Images. Films on Ice is the first book of its kind to analyse the cinemas of the Arctic from a transnational, global perspective. Bringing together an international array of scholars and researchers from the Arctic countries (Canada, the US, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Russia), we aim to trace out the key issues facing the study of Arctic moving images, both those made in the Global North and those that, for various reasons, appropriate the North to their own political and aesthetic ends. Much like the moving images of the Global North itself, our project stretches back to the beginnings of cinema and forward to the present day. We are centrally concerned with how the concept of the Arctic is imagined and how these imaginings are articulated through moving image production. At this time, we are interested in receiving proposals from scholars who have an interest in researching and writing on Russian and Soviet Arctic films, broadly defined (documentary, experimental cinema, propaganda, etc). We are in communication with a university press and have received quite enthusiastic responses to the project. If you are interested in contributing a chapter on a topic aligned with the above, please email the co-editors Scott MacKenzie (Robarts Centre, Visiting Research Fellow, York University, Canada, scott.mackenzi...@gmail.com) and Anna W. Stenport (Dept. of Germanic Languages and Literature, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a...@illinois.edu) by August 15, 2012, with a short, 100-200 words proposal. We will appreciate your broad sharing of this CFP with anyone you think may be interested. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] projector sound
I was rather amazed last November when a guy came to the same film program two nights in a row, the second night he said he wasn't going to watch the program again, he just wanted to make an audio recording of the 16mm projectors. Perhaps you could borrow his audio recording for your screening of Mothlight. Sorry, I didn't get a name. Tom Durham Cinematheque Bryan McManus wrote: I've only seen Brakhage's mothlight digitally - and would love to see it on film because of the sound the projector makes. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] projector sound
What a marvelous idea - thank you Tom. Perhaps I will dig around for an audio recording - or even run a 16mm projector in the back of the room with the digital projector.

[Frameworks] Zoom lens for Bolex reflex
hi all, I recently purchased a H16 Bolex Reflex and was wondering if a Som Berthiot lens f=17-85mm 1:2 C-mount would work fine on my camera (i'm guessing the lens is not RX, but the person who has one tells me lots of people use this anyway...). i'm attaching a small res photo of the lens just in case. thanks,pablo attachment: Capture01.JPG___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Tri-X Gone?
Only some of the Tri-X cat numbers like the high speed pitch got discontinued and I think odd loads like the 50' spools for High Speed.

Re: [Frameworks] Tri-X Gone?
Looks to me like they just discontinued double perf and the high speed camera loads. 1R is still in the catalogue, though with Kodak who can tell? --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Tri-X Gone?
Oh, the Orwo reversal stuff is beautiful, it's like Tri-X used to be pre-1976 when the black levels were degraded. Have you tried processing the 400 ASA Orwo negative stock as reversal? I know they don't recommend it. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
