[Frameworks] Werner Nekes Travels

[Ekrem (Squeaky Wheel)]

His website seems to be locked right now, and not sure how much info there
is on there about it, but I've been curious about those who attended Nekes'
workshops in other countries (besides those in Western Europe and the US.)

I know he's been to Argentina and Turkey, but would love to hear more if
any of you have attended or know of his travels.

RIP

Re: [Frameworks] Werner Nekes Travels

[lagonaboba]

Werner Nekes and Dore O. visited Sarah Lawrence College when I was an student 
there in 1971. While of course I recall their Jum Jum, I was more taken by Dore 
O.’s Kaldalon, an exquisite “landscape” film, shot during their recent travels 
in Iceland. Both were still rapturously enthusiastic about Iceland. I’ve wanted 
to visit the Iceland of that film ever since. I think the closest (in luminance 
and spirit) I ever got was in the high Andes of central Ecuador. Both Nekes and 
Dore O. were sweet, gracious and giving individuals, most generous with their 
time with eager young filmmakers. To expand a bit this eulogistic thread, Nekes 
and Dore O. came to Sarah Lawrence thanks to Howard Guttenplan, who brought a 
number of prominent filmmakers, all of whom played significant roles in the 
education of the two film students interested in Avant-Garde work.

Re: [Frameworks] Werner Nekes Travels

[John Sundholm]

dear all,


sad news indeed. in 2011 i programmed nekes' landscape films that he made in 
sweden. i suppose that not many know that he had a summer house in sweden since 
the early 70s and that some of his best films were made up there. 'hynningen', 
for example. nekes returned to sweden every summer.


nekes was direct and knew what he wanted.


in the program of 2011 nekes wanted also to include 'falun' (1976), because he 
had only a vague memory of the film and wanted to take the opportunity to watch 
the 35 mm print in a proper cinema. after the film had ended, he stepped up and 
said that he remember now why he did not remember the film: it was a failure, 
an embarassing bad film that he asked us to forget that we had seen.


best,


john

Re: [Frameworks] touring "A Roll for Peter"

[Eric Theise]

Another in my occasional updates about A Roll for Peter, the 16mm
multi-maker Peter Hutton tribute project. A number of venues and dates have
been added since my last email so here's the current list of upcoming
screenings.

1 March: Lexington Film League at 21c, Lexington, KY
7 March: UWM Union Cinema, Milwaukee, WI
13 March: Aggregate Space Gallery, Oakland, CA
18 March: Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles, CA
1 April: Other Cinema, San Francisco, CA
9 April: Hamilton College F.I.L.M. SERIES/Bradford Auditorium, Clinton,
NY
13 April, NW Film Forum, Seattle, WA
23 April: Cellular Cinema/Bryant-Lake Bowl, Minneapolis, MN
29 April: Iris Film Collective, Vancouver, BC
5 May: Niagara Custom Lab, Toronto, ON
12 May: Visions, Montréal, QC

For information about Saturday's screening at Atlanta's Eyedrum please call
the venue at (678) 813-7860.

That's today's snapshot. The best places to track updates to the tour are
http://erictheise.com/films/a-roll-for-peter/ and https://www.facebook.com/
arollforpeter/ (and why not Like it while you're there?).

There are very few opportunities left for bookings in March, April, or May.
If you run or know of a venue that would like to screen A Roll for Peter
during the first three weeks of February, please be in touch, pronto.

The first two screenings of 2017, at UNEXPOSED Microcinema in Durham
and Sunspot
Cinema/UCF Art Gallery in Orlando, were well received. For the latter,
feedback was: "so lovely… I wish I could see those films again! Such a
great opportunity to see such an ephemeral program", for the former,
simply, "f*cking killer".

Thanks!

Eric

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm E6 - Wittner vs. Agfa

[Herb Theriault]

Reasonably sure Richard Tuohy uses 3383 quite a bit. I've been wanting to pick 
some up ever since taking one of his workshops a few years ago. The low iso 
gives it a fair amount of flexibility for bi-packing and related fun things.

Re: [Frameworks] Werner Nekes Travels

[Gene Youngblood]

One of my fondest memories is an afternoon and evening in 1982 that Woody 
Vasulka, Alphonse Schilling, Peter Weibel and I spent with Werner and Dore, 
getting a tour of his pre-, proto- and para-cinematic collection. Truly 
astonishing. The conversation that followed over dinner and into the wee hours 
was equally revelatory to me. I usually talk a lot, but I was silent almost all 
evening, soaking up every word spoken by this extraordinary group of people who 
occupied an alternate history from my own. I vaguely recall Werner mentioning 
an offer to purchase the archive for $1 million, but I’m probably way off on 
that. As some of you may know, Werner (or was it Dore?) designed posters for 
all of his films, which were works of art in themselves. He had just premiered 
“Uliisses,” and the signed poster for it is in my studio today.

[Frameworks] 2017 Handmade Film Institute Summer Programs

[Robert Schaller]

Pacific Northwest Film Camp
June 3 - 11, 2017

Spend a week on beautiful Orcas Island, WA investigating celluloid film as a 
physical medium, learning to make your own emulsion, exploring various 
hand-processing techniques, and pushing the creative and aesthetic limits of 
the   handmade filmmaking process from start to finish. Our home base is 
located right at the water's edge - and whether you choose to camp in the great 
outdoors or take advantage of limited indoor accommodations indoors, the 
setting is an inspirational backdrop for an intensive immersion in all aspects 
of filmmaking. The week will also include a filmmaking excursion to uninhabited 
Sucia Island, designated as a Washington State Park. We will share gourmet 
meals featuring the Handmade Film Institute's legendary vegan cuisine. All 
materials are provided, and participants will have access to conventional and 
underwater filmmaking equipment, as well as darkroom and printing facilities.


The Handmade Filmmaking Camp
June 24 - July 2, 2017

Now in its fourteenth year, this is the Handmade Film Institute's foundational 
workshop. We spend a week at 8200 feet in the Rocky Mountains engaged in a 
comprehensive investigation of film as a physical medium. As film artists, we 
will delve into a detailed exploration of celluloid film stocks and development 
processes with an eye to unlocking and expanding their potential as artistic 
media. Choose your own spot to pitch a tent in the beautiful forests and 
meadows surrounding the house, and get ready for a focused, introspective and 
inspirational week. The week includes a filmmaking excursion to the Indian 
Peaks Wilderness, one of Colorado's most scenic preserves located at the 
Continental Divide.  Workshop participants will have access 24/7 to full 
darkroom and printing facilities, and all materials and film stocks are 
provided. Past participants rave about the gourmet vegan meals and the sense of 
creative community that is nurtured during mealtime conversations. If you're 
after a transformative experience through a thorough, intensive, lab-based 
study of the film medium, this is the workshop for you.

The Wilderness Film Expedition
July 15 - July 27, 2017

This unique backcountry expedition will be a more than one week immersion 
devoted to producing a complete 16mm "Mountain Symphony" film that we will 
shoot, process, edit and premiere in the wilderness.  We will explore 
zero-emissions filmmaking in this remote and beautiful setting both technically 
and aesthetically. We will be staying long enough that our artistic senses and 
creative decisions can themselves become permeated by the wilderness, and thus 
the visions that we create on location will reflect our presence there both in 
subject and in how we think about the subject. As in past years, we carry an 
entire simplified handmade filmmaking apparatus on our backs, including the 
necessary chemistry, film stocks, cameras, editing tools and projection 
equipment up to our campsite at 10,500 feet. Once established, the base camp 
becomes a filmmaking studio en plein air - the streams hydrate our chemistry, 
the sun dries our film, and the darkness of the night provides the limitless 
darkroom in which we work. Frequent climbs, day hikes, and opportunities for 
quiet reflection will offer unlimited opportunity to think, capture footage, 
push your limits, and explore this little-known magnificent area of Colorado.

I have just heard that Werner Nekes passed away.
I don't have confirmation yet but it's in the German press.
Important filmmaker and great collector of optical toys and art and

Re: [Frameworks] Werner Nekes

[Re X]

I saw *Film Before Film* twice at Anthology, and once Nekes was there. He
was very kind. I love that film. It always serves to fill the medium with
subtly and wonderment once again, when I am feeling more jaded about
'cinema'. Very glad for the work that Nekes did. May he conduct strange
experiments and illusions from the other side~
