explored and that other filmmakers can benefit by these techniques'. The the
whole film is redeemed by the glimpse of Brakhage's pipe!
Thank you, Greg. We will indeed be in touch.
Best wishes,

While volumes can be written on the logistical, psychological, bureaucratic,
nepotistic, and economic challenges and limitations of entering film festivals
in this day and age, I'd like to share one personal motivation and one anecdote.
I began entering festivals on the cusp of a time when
I agree with Chuck's comments. Given how bad mainstream media can be,
this report is really quite good, considering that it was meant for an
evening-news mass audience. Of course nothing profound is said, and
Warhol could easily seem like a fool to those who don't take seriously

After reading Fred's post I ran (well, typed) straight to the online database
Academic Search Complete to read the Time article. Here it is, for anyone
interested. It is indeed bad (my favorite description is of Brakhage as a
husky hypochondriac), but it's about what you'd expect from a

Was there no music in the Velvets sequence because of music rights, or did the
report air that way?
Jonathan, thanks a lot for posting this, but the article I remember was
earlier, and even worse. It described the films of filmmakers who had
just gotten a Ford Foundation grant in outrageous, and outraged, terms.
I couldn't find it on Time's own site, though I didn't try that hard.

Yeah, the article Jonathan posted (thanks, J.!) was nowhere near as bad as the
one Fred described. You could even defend it's rhetoric on the same grounds
Chuck brought up in terms of the CBS piece. This article follows the classic
form of a persuasive speech to a hostile audience I used to
You weren't dreaming Fred, I found the article. I can't read it or copy it here
though because I don't have the required subscription to Time. Maybe someone
else on the list can help share? My curiosity has been activated.

Has anyone on here had much experience with Konvas 35mm cameras? Curious to
know the pros/cons. Seems like this is the cheapest way to actually own a
35mm motion picture camera and I would like something to experiment with.
I'm assuming they're MOS only but has anyone here used them to shoot sync
It's worth noting that Time/Life always saw itself as protecting mainstream
(American) moralities, including sexual, by this treatment of underground
and bohemian arts and subcultures. Underground film was certainly one, Beat
poetry and culture another, as was the gay world. There's an article on
