Re: [Frameworks] A - very - Long Shot: how to get in touch with Michael Shamberg?

[Brecht Debackere]

Hi Christopher, 

It seems like this is exactly the information I was looking for and I was 
looking at the wrong Michael Schamberg! 
So thank you very much for the information and rectification!

Kind regards, 

Brecht.

[Frameworks] A - very - Long Shot: how to get in touch with Michael Shamberg?

[Brecht Debackere]

Dear all, 

While Michael Shamberg is better known for his commercial Hollywood 
productions, he also commissioned/produced a videoclip for the band 
Electronic’s track ‘Getting away with it’. 
This clip was made by none other than Chris Marker! 

I’m trying to get in touch with Michael Shamberg (or his agent or whatever) in 
regards to this video (to see it, to learn who owns the rights). 

Maybe there’s someone here who has an idea?

kind regards, 

Brecht Debackere

Re: [Frameworks] A Celebration and Screening of TAKAHIKO IIMURA

Would love to see the movies on the big screen... too bad New York is a bit far 
away. 
If you have a facebook event, I'd also be happy to share it on the exprmntl

Onan was part of the 'Prix à l’ensemble de la sélection japonaise' at the 3d

[Frameworks] EXPRMNTL DVD pre-order

[Brecht Debackere]

Dear all, 

It’s with great pleasure and pride that I can announce the start of our 
pre-sale for the DVD of Exprmntl. 
After a year of festivals around the world we figured it was time to get it out 
there. 

This mailing-list has helped us on several occasions during the production of 
this film, ranging from contact info, help with finding rights-holders and 
screenings at festivals. 

We’ve set up a campaign to get the necessary pre-sales in order to finance the 
production of the DVD so it would be a great help to spread this info to people 
you think might be interested in this film. 
We’ve also set up the possibility for both private and institutional license at 
a very nice price. This is (for now) the only way to obtain the film on DVD. 

For those of you who don’t know ‘Exprmntl’: it was a legendary festival for 
avant-garde film in Knokke, Belgium. It was the place for experimental 
filmmakers from around the world to meet during one cold winter week in 
December. It was where Peter Kubelka and Jonas Mekas met, where Harun Farocki 
was protesting as a young student from the Berlin film academy, where Yoko Ono 
spent half the time performing ‘Black Bag Piece’ in the middle of the casino 
floor, where Jack Smith’s ‘Flaming Creatures’ created a wave of protests for 
being censored,...  

I highly recommend you check out the trailer on the page and pass it on: 
https://www.ulule.com/exprmntl/


Kind regards

Brecht.

Re: [Frameworks] experimental MTV idents

Hey Lilly, 

I can tell you I was looking to license one of these clips recently for my 
documentary.
The place to be is VIACOM, although I'm not sure if they know much about the 
content itself...
I do know they used a.o. a clip from Len Lye as an ident and Bill Plympton made 
an ident for them if I'm not mistaken. 

Regards,

Re: [Frameworks] Support my new Kickstarter project for my new great 16mm motion picture!

[Brecht Debackere]

Dear Doug, 

I’m not sure that insults will move people to open their wallets. The amount of 
options for people to spend their ‘disposable income’ is huge and in your 
kickstarter you fail to give people any reason why they should spend it on 
you/your film. 
You blow your own horn, but you fail to substantiate the superlatives you use 
to describe yourself. Why was your previous film ‘great’? Are there any 
reviews? Was it shown in any festivals or other places? Did it win any awards? 
Can we see it somewhere and maybe judge for ourselves? 
Furthermore you fail to tell us anything about the film you want to make except 
for its title. The money you aks is apparently needed to financially support 
you and to allow you to buy equipement. You then go on to try to elicit 
sympathy and pity in an attempt to bring people to fork out the cash. 
Your Kickstarter campaign further fails to allow anyone to give you a small 
amount as you only give the option for 500$ and 1000$. If you’re begging for 
cash, which is what you’re doing, you’re not encouraging potential backers at 
all, but you have the audacity to claim that people are unsupportive/ not 
encouraging: "Prove you're not a completely useless, unsupportive 
"non-community" of old cranks & send money to me for my next movie & to save my 
life!"

"I'm always respectful & compliment everyone who doesn't know me” 
vs. 
"if they don't care about me or my motion pictures then fuck them.” /  "lame, 
unsupportive, non-nurturing excuse for a community” /  “Almost everyone is a 
whiney old loser or just non-communicative & non-responsive"


regards and fuck you too!

[Frameworks] Restored Print of 'Verifica Incerta' - Missing!?

[Brecht Debackere]

Hi all, 

We’re looking for the restored print of Verifica Incerta by Baruchello and 
Grifi for use in our Exprmntl documentary. 
We have an agreement with both Associazione Grifi and Baruchello, but none of 
them seem to be able to pinpoint the location of the print!

The restored version is, and I quote, “the one without the pink images in the 
beginning”… 

This is getting quite an urgent matter for us, so I hope anyone here might be 
able to help!

regards,

[Frameworks] Distribution EXPRMNTL documentary

[Brecht Debackere]

Dear all, 

For the past years we’ve been working on a documentary about the EXPRMNTL 
festival of Knokke Belgium & Experimental film. 

The movie is nearing completion and is scheduled to premiere as the opening 
film of the L’Age D’or festival, organised by the Cinematek,Brussels. 
Reactions to the rough-cut of those involved (Belgian broadcasters RTBF & VRT, 
Cinematek,…). 

The movie stars Peter Kubelka, Harun Farocki, Birgit Hein, Werner Nekes, Jonas 
Mekas and some unseen interviews, archive with o.a. Jacques Ledoux, the former 
curator the Cinematek. 

As we are preparing the release of this film, we are looking for possibilities 
to distribute it across small independent art-house cinema’s, cinematheques, 
etc. 
For this we are interested to learn where we could possibly screen the film and 
who might be interested in an ‘early access’ screening for a reduced screening 
fee. 

If anyone here runs such a cinema or venue, I would also be interested to hear 
from you what you consider to be a reasonable screening fee. 

Kind regards, 

Brecht Debackere

 Dear Frameworkers,
 
 Here is the Press's description of my new book, AVANT-DOC: Intersections of 
 Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema. The book may be of interest for some of 
 you:
 
 Avant-Doc: 23 in-depth interviews exploring the intersections between 
 documentary and avant-garde filmmaking. Scott MacDonald reviews early 
 overlaps between what have seemed two distinct traditions, then talks with 
 seminal figures in the evolution of ethnographic film (Robert Gardner and 
 Lucien Castaing-Taylor,  founder of Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab, 
 avant-doc’s most productive studio) and personal documentary (Ed Pincus, 
 Alfred Guzzetti, Ross McElwee, Nina Davenport, Jonathan Caouette) and with 
 crucial contributors to the modern European “avant-doc”: Dutch-Indonesian 
 Leonard Retel Helmrich, Austrian Michael Glawogger, and Portuguese Susana de 
 Sousa Dias. Paweł Wojtasik discusses how a mystical experience freed him from 
 depression so that he could realize a cinematic form of perceptual 
 transcendence; and Todd Haynes discusses his early faux documentary, 
 Superstar: the Karen Carpenter Story and how his early experiences with 
 avant-garde filmmakers and experimental documentaries paved the way for the 
 commercial anti-biopic I’m Not There.
 
 MacDonald’s interviews with filmmakers who have been working for 
 decades create a context for a panorama of discussions about recent 
 breakthroughs, including Jane Gillooly’s Suitcase of Love and Shame, Amie 
 Siegel’s DDR/DDR, Alexander Olch’s The Windmill Movie, Betzy Bromberg’s 
 Voluptuous Sleep, Godfrey Reggio’s Visitors, Castaing-Taylor and Véréna 
 Paravel’s Leviathan, Jennifer Proctor’s A Movie by Jen Proctor, and Stephanie 
 Spray and Pacho Velez’s Manakamana. The 22 filmmaker interviews are preceded 
 by a conversation with Annette Michelson about what led to her early 
 championing of documentary pioneer Dziga Vertov and avant-garde filmmakers 
 Stan Brakhage, Yvonne Rainer, and Hollis Frampton in Artforum. An extended 
 discussion of the thinking behind Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab concludes 
 the volume.

I'm trying to get in touch with Martin Scorsese for a feature documentary about 
the Exprmntl festival of Knokke, Belgium. 
I've been in touch with the National Film Preservation Foundation and Sikelia 
Productions, but so far no luck. 
I know it's a long-shot because he's undoubtably a very busy man, but I thought 
I'd try through here, maybe someone has an idea on how I bring get some 
documents to his attention...

kind regards, 

Brecht Debackere

[Frameworks] EXPRMNTL festival - Docu footage

[Brecht Debackere]

Hi all, 

Some time ago I've posted a similar question and since it's been quite some 
time, maybe it will unearth new things. 

We, in collaboration with the Belgian Cinematek, are currently working on a 
documentary about the Exprmntl festival of Knokke Le Zoute Belgium which took 
place between 1949 and 1974. 
We've found a number of archive documents, publications, photos and films so 
far but we have the feeling there's more to be found, judging by the amount of 
people filming in numerous clips. 

I'm calling upon you guys to help us check around with friends, colleagues,... 
who might've been there, or know someone who was and who might have any films, 
photos or other info we can use for this film. 
In return we can offer high quality digitisation of 8mm, 16mm footage and of 
course a credit. Rights fees can be discussed.

I hope this message can gain some traction and help make this film contain even 
more wonderful footage than we already have; contact details for the production 
can be found below. 

kind regards, 

Brecht Debackere

Re: [Frameworks] Music rights, seeking sample documentation.

[Brecht Debackere]

Personally I would not bother with screening rights for festivals. Festivals 
are usually regarded as a 'safe haven' since they are often places where works 
can be discovered and possibly find additional funding, sales, etc. (e.g. 
Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen by Georgy Palfy has been shown at numerous 
festivals but has in no way cleared all the rights and third party-re-use 
fees). 

That being said, in terms of DVD's: 
what the publisher wants to know is which rights you want: 
Geographically: world-wide? specific territories only? 
Temporaly: a limited time? Ad Aeternam
Media: DVD only? all media (so also TV, DVD, Internet...)
Copies: 100? 1000? 1? 

Depending on the song you need to clear both rights to the composition and 
publishing rights, usually with artists that are still alive they have the 
rights to the composition, the labels have the publishing rights. 
If you can negotiate with the artist, start with that. His price might be much 
lower and the publisher usually will ask the same amount. 

Your strategy in respect to clearing the rights could be to decide what you 
really want, and then add to it. Say you only want to make 100 copies of the 
dvd and only want the rights for that, ask them for 1000 copies and all media 
rights etc. Their price will be higher, but you can start stripping away the 
things you didn't want in the first place, so since you ask for less each time, 
they'll be obliged to lower their price ;) 

Hope that helps.

 Hello All--
 
 Some weeks back, I posted an inquiry regarding music rights and fees.  I 
 received some highly informative responses so I thought I would try here 
 again.
 
 I have sent a proposed fee to the publisher and label regarding music rights 
 for a short experimental film.  I have requested screening rights for 
 festivals and possible use for a future compilation of my work.All seems 
 well excepting the label has requested that I state more exact terms.   
 
 Having not gone through this process before, I am a bit in the dark.  If 
 anyone has an example of music rights documentation I could look over I would 
 greatly appreciate it!  
 
 Well wishes for 2014, 
 Zach

Re: [Frameworks] new critical studies film course in car culture

[Brecht Debackere]

Some titles you probably already know:
Len Lye made 'Rhythm', about the construction of a car
'Christine' (based on Stephen Kings novel)
There's of course the fast and furious series, the Blues Brothers movies which 
seem to focus especially on police-car crashes, the gone in 60 seconds movies 
(old and new), Bullit, Days of Thunder,...

 I don't suggest these as good films, but rather interesting examples of how

Re: [Frameworks] new critical studies film course in car culture

[Brecht Debackere]

And 'Crash' naturally, by Cronenberg, based on G.J. Ballard's novel.

Re: [Frameworks] experimental film festival research

[Brecht Debackere]

Hi Greg, 

I am currently making a documentary about the Xprmntl festival in co-production 
with the Cinematek. The have a lot of information, a lot of which is in French 
or Dutch though. (as is the biggest wikipedia entry: 
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_international_du_cin%C3%A9ma_exp%C3%A9rimental_de_Knokke-le-Zoute)
Xavier Garcia Bardon has written his masters thesis in history on the festival 
and is now continuing this research in a phd research project; a 'summary' of 
this thesis has been published in an issue dedicated to the festival in Revue 
Belge du Cinema, nr. 43 (decembre 2002). 
There's more, references in books, pressmaterial,… I've been in contact with a 
lot of people already and am preparing a series of interviews for the 
documentary, which I plan to share in their entirety online, but that's future 
music. 

regards, 

Brecht.

 Hello.  I am preparing a new research project on the history of 
 experimental/avant-garde film festivals and thought I might ask the list for 
 advice.  I am primarily interested in the early history of these film 
 festivals (pre-1980s) and would love to know about any throughout the world 
 that should be included in this study.  I am particularly interested in the 
 history of Knokke Experimental Film Festival and would also love to know if 
 anyone has research materials on this festival, or possibly oral narratives 
 they would be willing to share.  Thank you in advance for your ideas.

 The film The Mystery of Picasso by Henri Georges Clouzot is one of the 
 greatest documentaries ever made about a painter.  Another one is In 
 the Realms of the Unreal by Jessica Wu about an outsider artist named 
 Henry Darger.

[Frameworks] EXPRMNTL Knokke - Archives/Amateur Footage/Photo's/...

[Brecht Debackere]

Dear all, 

Visualantics, an independent Brussels based production company is currently 
working on a documentary film covering the EXPRMNTL filmfestival which took 
place in Knokke. 
While we have uncovered several films covering the festival (from filmmakers, 
TV stations and archives) we are convinced that more footage of this festival 
exists. 

I'm sending this call out to everyone who might have been there, who might have 
made photo's or films during the festival, both in Knokke (or at the World Expo 
'58, where the 2nd edition took place) and in the Casino itself. 
If you have any material, or know anyone who might have filmed and photographed 
the festival we would love to hear about it! 

Kind Regards, 

Brecht Debackere
