[Frameworks] Call for Submissions - MEMIC UK experimental film night

2012-10-08 Thread Pigott, Michael

Hello there,

Details of a new experimental moving image event in the UK below:

Midlands Experimental Moving Image Collective
http://www.memic.co.uk

MEMIC Film Salon 1: Warpaint is the launch event of MEMIC (Midlands 
Experimental Moving Image Collective). This independent collective has been set 
up to instigate a critical dialogue about experimental moving image works and 
to provide a platform for experimental filmmakers, video artists, animators and 
multimedia artists.

Each Film Salon will consist of a traditional screening and an exhibition of 
moving image installation works. There will be facilities for digital video 
projection, 16mm and 8mm film, slide projection, as well as a number of HD and 
CRT monitors.

This event is a great opportunity to showcase your work to an audience and to 
network with other filmmakers and moving image artists.

You are invited to submit innovative work which will be screened at MEMIC’s 
first Film Salon on Friday the 30 of November 2012. The program for the evening 
will be published on www.memic.co.uk

The first Film Salon will take place at Althorpe Studios and Gallery, Royal 
Leamington Spa. Leamington is just over an hour by train from London, and 30 
mins from Birmingham, therefore strategically placed to become the centre of 
contemporary art in the UK. (yes!)

Deadline for submissions: November 15th 2012

Format for submissions: DVD or weblink to video

MEMIC Film Salon 1: Friday 30 November, 7pm onwards, admission free

Email your submissions to: michael.lightbo...@gmail.com

Post your submissions to: MEMIC, Althorpe Studios and Gallery, Unit 6, Althorpe 
Industrial Estate, Althorpe Street, Leamington Spa, CV32 5AU, UK.

[Frameworks] films featuring projectionists

2013-01-07 Thread Pigott, Michael
Hello there,

I'm trying to compile a list of films featuring projectionists or projection 
boothes. So far it feels like there's a lot less that I thought there was, so I 
wondered if anybody had any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Actually, a Matrox MX02 is a cheaper option, and it's an external card, so no 
need to open up your editing machine, or indeed more useful if you're working 
from a laptop

 If pure signal is what you want, then a scan converter will add another step 
 in the processing chain that you don't necessarily need. A video card with a 
 proper analog out is ideally what you want, like one of the Blackmagic 
 Decklink cards or a Matrox Mojito. Just offered the DVDplayer to VCR route as 
 a basic solution.

An experimentalish narrative feature: The Draughtsman's Contract

 Maybe those early 70s S8 films of the British countryside by Derek Jarman, I 
 always feel they contain menace in the pastoral views.

Re: [Frameworks] Films on dreams / sleep?

2019-06-13 Thread Pigott, Michael
I wrote an article on some experimental films that use the sleeping body as a 
central image - it's in a journal called Performance Research. The issue was 
themed On Sleep, so maybe other things of interest in it too: 
https://www.performance-research.org/past-issue-detail.php?issue_id=83

I'm happy to send you a pdf of the article if it's of interest.
