Re: [Frameworks] Singularity and intentional incoherence

2013-01-26 Thread Fred Camper
Quoting Andy Ditzler a...@andyditzler.com:

 Hello,

 Consider the brief close-up appearance of the cockatoo around the last
 third of Citizen Kane. Cut to bird, loud bird shriek on soundtrack, then
 back to the story. Welles' purpose in this odd cutaway was to wake up the
 audience, exactly as Tom Whiteside describes with his experience. (It has
 a sort of purpose, but no meaning - reference on p. 72 of This Is Orson
 Welles.) I suspect other singularities, at least in the novel use of them
 by Hollywood, have a similar purpose/effect.

There's a little problem with this: just after the screaming bird  
flies away, Kane's second wife, who had felt imprisoned in Xanadu,  
leaves him.

Two masterpieces of what I have called destructive cutting, in which  
shots detract or subtract from or even divide previous shots in  
opposition to both classical Hollywood's additive editing and  
Eisensteinian montage, are Christopher Maclaine's The End and Ron  
Rice's Senseless.

Re: [Frameworks] Singularity and intentional incoherence

2013-01-26 Thread Francisco Torres
The films of Raul Ruiz are full of weird 'out of the blue' events that
are never explained. He talks about them in his Poetic of Cinema books.
Ruiz favored the unexpected

*'For years I watched so-called Greco-Latin films (toga flicks, with early
Christians devoured by lions, emperors in love and so on). My only interest
in those films was to catch sight of planes and helicopters in the
background, to discover the eternal DC6 crossing the sky during *Ben Hur*‘s
final race, *Cleopatra*‘s naval battle or the *Quo Vadis* banquets* .

[Frameworks] voyeurism / street photography in exp cinema

2013-01-26 Thread matt's frameworks address
Hello Frameworkers,

I am trying to drum up a list of films/videos that use voyeurism and/or
street photography as a central component.  But in typing this I realize
that neither 'voyeurism' nor 'street photography' are really the correct
words/terms to use for what I am looking for.  I am interested in the
cinematic equivalent of 'street photography,' specifically films like those
made by Nathaniel Dorsky or Jem Cohen, where the filmmaker is
filmming/recording people on the street and/or other public places without
their knowledge.  Voyeurism tends to be associated with watching people in
private spaces doing private things, which is not what i am interested in,
but the word still lends itself to this query.

Any ideas of films, and good words/terms to describe them would be much
appreciated!


-Matt

Re: [Frameworks] voyeurism / street photography in exp cinema

2013-01-26 Thread Chuck Kleinhans
Helen Levitt's IN THE STREET is probably a prime example.  She worked as a 
still photographer and reportedly developed a camera that actually took 
pictures looking in a different direction than what the casual observer would 
think.  Not exactly hidden, but unaware.  When she made the film, with James 
Agee and Janet Loeb, she might have used the same technique.  The film shows 
kids, often showing off--aware and  for the camera?  or just for the grown up 
who is a stranger and paying attention to them?  sometimes not….
It might be on UbuWeb.
Of course today it might get you in trouble to just go film kids, even in 
public, without their parents permission since you might be taken as a 
voyeur/predator.

The title slips my mind, and I'm not around my books at the moment, but Ernie 
Gehr has a wonderful NYC film that was shot from inside, slightly above street 
eye level, looking out at people on the street who are mostly elderly and shown 
in closeup detail, without faces, as they go about daily routines.  It's very 
loving in attention to detail and motion…respectful.

David Rimmer's Real Italian Pizza would be another classic of the observational 
street film.  See also much of Peter Hutton's work.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but there's a little known
Milos Forman film called Taking Off that has a series of audition scenes. I
happen to have a friend (not an actor) who was in one of those scenes.
These are the actual auditions for the film from an open call. No one knew
these scenes would be used.

Re: [Frameworks] voyeurism / street photography in exp cinema

2013-01-26 Thread Beebe, Roger
Do we get to count all the films of the French New Wave?  Breathless is loaded 
with memorable street scenes with only a few people who are actually part of 
the fiction in the frame.  I just taught Shoot the Piano Player and was 
especially struck by a scene in which Truffaut unnecessarily has his characters 
in the middle of a conversation in an apartment open the doors to the balcony 
and continue the conversation in front of the swarming Parisian streets.

Re: [Frameworks] voyeurism / street photography in exp cinema

2013-01-26 Thread Jason Halprin
The Super 8 work of Jaap Pieters fits this bill. 

Two of my own films, I Colonize the Golden Trianlge and War Heb Je Voor Het 
Gekkeken feature this type of voyeurism as central elements, and many of my 
Super 8 diary films feture it as supporting elements. You can see these on 
vimeo.
Some of Mark LaPore's work would fit in too.

Actually a number of Ernie Gehr's films do this, including the
afore-mentioned *Untitled: Part 1 (1981)*, *This Side of Paradise*,
*City*(digital video) and his recently released digital video
translations of
street scenes filmed in the 1970s (or '60s?). Or even his *Eureka* if you
want to go there.

Also recommended:
—Scott Stark's *Acceleration *and *posers* (which observes people posing or
photographs) and others*—*Starks' *Angel Beach* anyone?
—the late Stom Sogo's *PS: When You Think You Are Going to Die* observes
muggings and drug dealing from a San Francisco apartment. Paranoid.
—John Smith's *The Girl Chewing Gum* and it's follow up *The Man Phoning Mum
*. —Gibbs Chapman  Catherine Lam narrativize surveillance footage in *I
know something is going on back there*
—*Open *by Katherin McInnis

etc etc

 Anyway, there's the Frampton walk-through-NYC film (forget the name), and
 if memory serves me correctly Nightspring Daystar may also fit the
 bill... Also parts of The End.

Another by Ernie, Signal: Germany on the Air. Also Jay Leyda’s A Bronx Morning. 
I don’t remember if People on Sunday has unaware pedestrians. Re Breathless, 
there’s a great production photo online showing the covered pushcart they put 
Raoul Coutard in to follow Belmondo and Seberg down the Champs Elysees. I think 
it’s on Paul Schrader’s Facebook page.

There's also the second section of Hollis' 'Surface Tension' (which may be
the one you're referring toŠ.
