Re: [Frameworks] FILM Ferrania Kickstarter: potential new color reversal film stock

2014-10-06 Thread Scott Dorsey
 There is no C-41 Ferrania stocks being manufactured, hasn't been for some 
 years. Ferrania closed their film factory 2006. 

Wow!  I had no idea.  I'm still seeing Ferrania films coming out of the
pipeline but they're probably just the dregs of old production.  For a 
while, Ferrania were the kings of house brand C-41 film and every 
supermarket and drugstore brand print film said Made in Italy in tiny
letters.

 This Ferrania is a new company. They are starting everything from scratch 
 (they do have the recipes, but those have to be modified to replace some 
 chemicals that aren't available anymore due to environmental regulations).

Making film is a difficult process; even if you know what went into the
original making a replica in a consistent fashion is difficult.  Kodak had
an army of engineers and when they moved production of their cinefluorography
films from France to the US it took them a year before they could get the 
consistency right.  And that's a simple, single-coating BW film.

 When starting from scratch E-6 is a better choice than C-41 because there is 
 only one company producing E-6 films left (Fuji) and that same stock can be 
 sold for both still and motion picture use.

Granted, although with C-41 there are only two companies making it.

 There is also a working existing infrastructure to process those films 
 already in place. For C-41 the problem would be that motion picture film 
 could only be home processed.

No, C-41 stocks will work okay in ECN-II chemistry.  The curves are a little
funny, but here is an example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkHYwjVCscY

This isn't a very good quality transfer, but this was Kodak 400ASA consumer
film in a Eyemo.  Edited workprint scanned on a Marconi machine.  Yeah, I
should have brought a tripod...

[Frameworks] tableau vivante : experimental film and single frames

2014-10-06 Thread Rebekka Erin Moran
Hi,

I am researching a project of the use of the Tableau Vivant in experimental or 
avant-garde filmmaking (history, theory, etc).
I am particularly interested in any examples of filmmakers that were 
investigating the tableau vivant as a reference to a film frame and not to a 
painting.
Also any sub themes that may relate to tableau vivant as a durational film 
frame or living freeze frame, or a tableau vivant as a non-active scene/image 
shot stop motion or frame by frame (in camera or optical printed). 

Any suggestions for readings or names would be greatly appreciated!

best,
Rebekka

Re: [Frameworks] tableau vivante : experimental film and single frames

2014-10-06 Thread herb shellenberger
Rebekka,

While not always associated with experimental film, though there is a
distinct aesthetic overlap, the films of Sergei Parajanov would be good to
look at if you're not already thinking of them. The Color of Pomegranates
uses the tableau vivant extensively (as do the rushes for this film,
completely separate footage four hours in duration that was broadcast on
Italian TV and is findable on some torrent sites), as well his films The
Legend of Suram Fortress and Ashik Kerib. Parajanov was influenced by
visual arts so it might not be exactly the focus you are looking for.

Best,
Herb

Re: [Frameworks] tableau vivante : experimental film and single frames

2014-10-06 Thread David Tetzlaff
Rebekka:

It would help if you could explain your ideas some, e.g.

 I am particularly interested in any examples of filmmakers that were
 investigating the tableau vivant as a reference to a film frame and not to
 a painting.

What characteristics do you imagine any such references might display?
Hypothetical examples if not actual?

A Living Painting would seem to be the inverse of cinema. It mimes a static
two-dimensional framed artwork, but does so in three-dimensional space and
real time that may be absent any physical frame. It's defining
characteristic is absence of motion where we would normally expect motion
to be. Even presented on a proscenium stage, the 3D and temporality of a
Living Painting allows it to be perceived from multiple points of view by a
single spectator. Cinema, of course, presents the camera frame POV to all
spectators, and employs static 2D images to create representations of
movement through time. It also ay employ sound and editing to create off
screen space outside the frame.It's defining characteristic is movement
where we would normally expect movement to be (i.e. a picture displayed on
a wall).

However, Wikipedia references the practice of tableax vivant as
pre-cinematic:

 a professionally produced series of *tableaux* presented on a theatre
 stage, one following another, usually to tell a story without requiring all
 the usual trappings of a live theatre performance. They thus 'educated'
 their audience to understand the form taken by later Victorian and
 Edwardian era magic lantern shows, and perhaps also sequential narrative
 comic strips.


So are you looking for films that somehow reference an INDIVIDUAL Living
Painting, or the tableax vivant form of a sequence of static poses? In the
former case especially, would you be considering films or sequences that
include minimal movements within otherwise static frames, or introduce
movement as a form of surprise after establishing a form of statis? Does
your definition of tableau-vivant-in-film restrict you to scenes in which
human figures are the central subjects of the composition, or would 'moving
still lifes' like J.J. Murphy's Highway Landscape or Peter Hutton films
count? What role does editing play, especially changes of camera
perspective within the same screen space? Would the tableau-vivant-in-film
need to be a long take or series of long takes?

Granting I have no clue what the specific targets may be, a few titles pop
into my head in response to vague suggestion:
Warhol: Vinyl. Benning: One Way Boogie-Woogie, 11x14. Rubin: Christmas On
Earth. Conner: Marilyn Times 5. Frampton: (nostalgia), Poetic Justice.
Mulvey/Wollen: Riddles of the Sphinx. Sharits: T.O.U.C.H.I.N.G, Piece
Mandala. Shiomi: Disappearing Music For Face
And, of course, anything involving Jack Smith, including the performances,
which is to say every waking moment of his adult life.
