This is a great resource, especially since Millennium Film Journal No. 62,
to be published next October, will be devoted to book reviews. We already
have commitments from about eight authors writing about recent books, but
I'd be happy to consider more proposals. Deadline for 1st drafts is early
June.

While I'm here, I should remind Frameworkers that the MFJ price increase
will kick in early next week: to beat the increase, please get your orders
and subscription renewals to us by Sunday Feb 1st.

Information and orders: mfj-online.org

 I've suggested this before, but I'm putting my suggestion into action
 with this thread. I've created a shared bibliography using Zotero:

 https://www.zotero.org/groups/experimental_cinema


 What is Zotero?


 Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect,
 organize, cite, and share your research sources.

 When I was in grad school, Endnote was a popular, for-pay software
 package that served a similar function. Zotero's free, it displays over
 the web, and it integrates with open source software such as Libre Office
 and Open Office as well as Microsoft Word. It also hooks into WorldCat or
 other online library catalogs so that you should be able to get a list of
 nearby libraries that carry resources you're interested in.

 If you'd like to help build this bibliography, email me (off list) and
 I'll
 add you to the group. It'd be nice to grow this, and start, oh, tagging
 books and articles with the names of filmmakers given significant
 treatment.

 Eric


 P.S. Using Zotero uncovers a couple of typos.


 Sheldan should be Sheldon, Turin should be Turim, Parker Tyler's
 The Underground Film was not published in 1698, and Exhibiting art in
 contemporary cinema should be Exhibiting cinema in contemporary art.

A number of experimental and animated films are included in this series.  Other 
great films will be shown too.  


CARTE BLANCHE: WOMEN WRITING THE LANGUAGE OF CINEMA, a program of films of all 
genres including narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated works from 
the Museum of Modern Art’s collection and films preserved by the Women’s Film 
Preservation Fund, a project of New York Women in Film and Television, will run 
from February 2 - February 13, 2015 at MoMA, New York City.

Established in 1995 by New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT) and The 
Museum of Modern Art, the Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) is the only 
program in the world exclusively dedicated to the preservation of films made by 
women.  It has preserved over 100 films made by American women and women 
filmmakers from abroad working in the U.S.
