Hello frameworkers,

I am compiling a list of books written by filmmakers about their own 
work and contextualizing it within their life experience in the form 
of an autobiography of their life in relation to film.
I am interested in books by filmmakers reflecting on their practice in 
a deep personal way, where their ideas about film are framed within 
their particular approach to film-making and their personal 
understanding of what film is.
I am looking for full books, not articles. Books that compile personal 
essays reflecting on the filmmakers work are also considered. i.e 
Antonioni's Architecture of Vision.


I have found numerous books written by filmmakers ranging from Jean 
Renoir to Brackhage, however I am having trouble finding examples of 
books like this written by women filmmakers.
If you could give me some recommendations, that would be greatly 
appreciated.


Thank you very much,

Noé

It's not necessarily about filmmaking specifically, but 'Video Days; And
What We Saw Through The Viewfinder' by Nancy Cain could be considered.

There's also a two volume set of Maya Deren's writings and notes...  it 
contains personal letters, notes, film treatments, etc.

It's called the Legend of Maya Deren

[Frameworks] women filmmakers

2015-09-16 Thread Stephan Chodorov
Leni Riefenstahl’s autobiography; long and complicated and about much more than 
her work in film. She succeeded as a woman in a man’s world, at a time when 
there were hardly any woman filmmakers. And she lived to see her work (“Das 
blaue Licht”, “Triumph des Willens”, “Olympia”) seen and studied all over the 
world. You can’t take a course in film aesthetic without encountering these.

[Frameworks] Women filmmaker autobiographies (Noé Rodríguez)

2015-09-16 Thread Robert Withers
Check out 
This Is Called Moving: A Critical Poetics of Film (Modern & Contemporary 
Poetics) by Abigail Child and Tom Gunning (Jun 26, 2005)

(Tom Gunning wrote the introduction)

It's not strictly an autobiography but deeply personal, theoretical, feminist, 
and thoughtful. All intertwined.

 Of course there are the interesting Feminist Film Theorists: Laura Mulvey, 
Kaja Silverman, Teresa de Lauretis, Barbara Creed
and Maya Deren: 
Essential Deren: Collected Writings on Film Paperback – January 3, 2005


And Trinh T. Minh-ha of course, an accomplished filmmaker/essayist.

Hi Noe,

My colleague Jennifer Hardacker and I co-curated/edited "Kid on Hip,
Camera in Hand², a group of short films/interviews by women filmmakers
looking at the world through the lens of motherhood.

The project includes a DVD with the films, a booklet with filmmaker
interviews and a foreword by Marylin Brakhage. The filmmakers are Johanna
Hibbard, Kathryn Ramey, Cecilia Cornejo, Lynne Sachs, Emily Hubley, Sasha
Waters Freyer, Enie Vaisburd and Jennifer Hardacker. The interviews in
particular seem to fit what you are looking for.

Here is the website: http://kidonhip.com/.

Please let me know if you would like us to send you a DVD. You can reach
me at evaisb...@pacificu.edu.

Good luck!

Hello frameworkers,

I am compiling a list of books written by filmmakers about their own work and

of their life in relation to film.
I am interested in books by filmmakers reflecting on their practice in a deep 
personal way, where their ideas about film are framed within their particular

I am looking for full books, not articles. Books that compile personal essays

I have found numerous books written by filmmakers ranging from Jean Renoir to

If you could give me some recommendations, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Re: [Frameworks] Recording Skype

2015-09-16 Thread Colin Brant
Yes Chris you're right. One way to do it is with SoundFlower, which enables you 
to route your system audio (ie. the audio information that would by default be 
sent to the computer's speakers/headphone jack) directly into any other 
application such as QuickTime. After the SoundFlower software is installed 
you'll just have to setup your system setting and QuickTime inputs to match. 

Hope this is helpful,
Colin
