Dear Robert,

Thanks for your reply. But when you write

I hope all noticed at least one group of warm bodies near you who got in 
touch via FrameWorks when they saw your locale. I think more real 
connections would happen if people identified themselves and their 
location(s).


The program you are teaching in sounds great, the kind of thing I'd 
consider if it came my way.


I'm proud to be remembered for having mentioned a sublimely great piece 
of classical music. Perhaps sometime I can find an excuse to post on 
Ockeghem's /Missa Prolationem/. I do think the decline of interest in 
"classical" music could somewhow be connected to the decline of formal 
complexity in new art and new cinema, and that in general pop/rock 
offers less interesting models for filmic structure.


I guess i don't understand the reason for your criteria, but so be it. 
The sound track to /The End/ may be "just" words and music, but it's 
very self-aware, calling attention to itself and to the viewing 
situation ("The person next to you is a leper.") I second the mentions 
of /Very Nice, Very Nice/, a film whose sound track was actually 
composed first. I don't know if a print can be rented by the NFB has a 
high-res version on their site. Lipsett's /21-87/ could be considered too.

[Frameworks] Stephen Partridge contact info: and/or a question about Monitor

[John Muse]

Anyone want to share contact info for Stephen Partridge.  I have a question 
about his work Monitor https://vimeo.com/19121750  It's simple really, and I 
posted it to "Steve Partridge" via the vimeo account.  The monitor sits on a 
table and behind it is a sharp diagonal line which cuts through the feedback 
loop.  The line appears to be on a wall: it might be the edge formed between a 
light colored paint above and darker wainscoting below--I can just make out 
some vertical lines in the darker surface which may be a sign of wainscoting.  
The line would then be diagonal because the table on which the monitor sits is 
at an angle to the wall, the right corner of the table closer to the wall and 
the left side of the table, which extends beyond the edge of the frame, 
farther.  Anyone have a better guess or definitive information?  

Thanks!

[Frameworks] Now! A Journal of Urgent Praxis - Call for NEW WORKS!

[Kelly Sears]

 As social, economic, and environmental crises mount, and precarity
increasingly becomes the defining condition of our age, the struggle for
justice requires forceful amplification.

Now!  A Journal of Urgent Praxis seeks to
provide a bullhorn, foregrounding NEW WORKS, conceived in response to these
NEW TIMES.

We seek:

NEW WORK! URGENT WORK! RADICAL WORK! CHEAP WORK!

NEW: Made in reply to something happening Now!

URGENT: Made with the velocity of the radical NEWSREEL. 7 days, start to
finish. 8 days is already a cheat. (But we’ll allow it.)

RADICAL: The outlook is TRANSFORMATION. The center can’t hold.

CHEAP: The budget is exactly what is at hand. Now! NEW WORKS aren’t
suffocated by poverty. They are instigated by it!

NEW WORKS of all durations will be considered. However, Now! is the
descendent of Noticiero ICAIC, and therefore shorter works are encouraged.

THE SKINNY: Make it fast. Make it radical. Make it cheap. Send us the link.
(santiagoalvarezli...@gmail.com) We’ll reply in one week or less. NEW WORKS
will be posted monthly, as they are produced.

Now! isn’t for festivals. It isn’t for museums. It isn’t for bankers.

Mike Snow's "Rameau's Nephew by Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by 
Wilma Schoen" is perhaps the most comprehensive study of the 
relationship between image and recorded sound. It runs 4-1/4 hours 
and took three years to make. We published a large book about the 
film based on interviews witih Mike, with details on each section and 
notes and sketches from the production (Re:Voir)

to rent prints, it would be helpful if the works were available from FMC, 
Canyon, MOMA or some USA domestic distributor.I would include:
Baillie’s Castro Street  & Quick Billy, Kubelka’s Unsere Afrikareise, Hindle’s 
WatersmithJack Chambers’ Hart of London
Thanks.
