Hello Bernie, apologies for my late reply. I took a weekend off, which once in a while happens. Your comments I think are to the point. One of my students reacted in a similar way, stating that what I screened was in a way a curatorial choice. Which in this case was a difficult process because

Thanks so much for posting this list. It's useful to my current teaching at Evergreen which is focused on integrating animation with marine microbiology and the anthropocene. In fact I just screened a few of Painlevés films day before yesterday. Ruth Hayes http://www.randommotion.com

Marco, we don't know one another. But the question posed here is appropriate for the list, in my opinion. This is because film is, in my opinion, just an element of a larger project, of which we are a part. For my part, the films will be shown as film. I can say that about work I make. But

This may be a bit academic, but there are conventions of citation within publishing, as well as a body of thought about "best practices" bearing on digital uses. I was remarking on the fact that all of the titles are written in lower case, and this seems unlikely to be how they were all titled.

Hey Bernard, I am not sure I get your point about higher and lower case. What I sent you is a copy paste of one of my work documents. The films were organized in groups according to thematic lines and some conceptual affinities amongst them, and properly introduced. On 28 January 2016 at 21:09,

Hello all, I just finished screening a number of films at the University of the Arts of Helsinki, in the context of a workshop for graduate students about filmmaking at the anthropocene. Some of you helped me identify suitable movies, and I am very thankful to you. I had promised, in return, to
