[Frameworks] Passing of long-time director Howard Guttenplan -Millennium announcement
Howard Guttenplan 1934-2015 It is with profound sadness that Millennium announces the passing of former Executive Director Howard Guttenplan. He died peacefully in his sleep on February 23, in his own surroundings, while receiving compassionate care from hospice workers and friends. He was a Navy veteran, and in accordance with his wishes was buried at Calverton National Cemetery, Calverton, NY. Howard led Millennium Film Workshop from 1971 to 2011 -forty years, a biblical generation. A brilliant administrator, visionary programmer, and pragmatic supporter of aspiring filmmakers, he worked tirelessly and with passion to make Millennium’s founding idea real: “To offer the non-commercial film artist -of whatever experience, or proven degree of proficiency, and without interference in either film-subject or style -the use without cost, or at minimal cost, of the tools of filmmaking, instruction in filmmaking, and a means of contacting others of like creative interest.” In the near future Millennium will coordinate a screening series celebrating Howard’s work on behalf of moving image artists. Further information will be available at Millennium's website http://millenniumfilm.org/, its Facebook page http://facebook.com/millenniumfilm, and through its email list (you may join at the website). -posted at Millenniumfilm.org http://millenniumfilm.org/ on 3/4/2015 ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] Millennium Members & Friends Informational Meeting (bylaws revision presentation)
Members and friends of Millennium Film Workshop are invited to an Informational Meeting that will introduce proposed Bylaws revisions on Wednesday October 7 at 7:00pm. The presentation with Q will be held in the Gallery of Brooklyn Fire Proof East, Bushwick. This revision and restatement of the Bylaws, commissioned at the April 2012 Members Meeting, are intended to meet the letter and spirit of new state non-profit laws, strengthen Millennium’s governance and support, increase transparency and accountability, and enhance member participation. This meeting will be an opportunity to learn why Bylaws revision is critical to Millennium’s future, and how this revision can move us ahead. In a few weeks we will ask the members to vote their approval of these new bylaws. Then elections will be held for our new expanded governing board. At this meeting we will explain the new candidate recruitment process that will lead to the board election, and why it is central to Millennium’s new process of board development. We will explain candidate expectations, and the diverse skills and life experiences Millennium seeks to build a stronger board. Brooklyn Fire Proof East is located at 119 Ingraham Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
