[Frameworks] Polyester Base Stocks
Hey Frameworks! Has anybody used a stock on polyester base instead of acetate in their Bolex? What was your experience? And also, has anyone tried bi-packing it? Asking for a friend. No, really. :) --charlotte ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Calling all Microcinemas!
Hi Frameworks! Do you run a microcinema, screening series, experimental gallery, or alternative film education space? If you do, we (Mechanical Eye Microcinema) want to send you a postcard, and invite you to participate in our zine: "Microcinema! A Survival Guide for the 21st Century". If you don't already have a postcard from us, send us your address (off list at: mechanicaleyemicrocin...@gmail.com)!!! Mad appreciation for all that you do, microcinema family. <3 charlotte & mechanical eye microcinema PS - For those of you who might be inclined... we're running a kickstarter campaign for Mechanical Eye Microcinema. Printed copies of the zine are one of the perks of our kickstarter (as is a DVD of experimental films, including work by Jodie Mack, Roger Beebe, Bill Brown, and more)! You can watch our video and read our story here: http://kck.st/1S6mRnS and if you feel inspired to support us or help us spread the word, we would be forever grateful. Yay for microcinemas! Yay for film!!! ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] What are the 3 Essential Films that you would show Artists on their first foray into the Moving Image Realm ?

However, I see Spook Sport so infused with the witticism and singularity of each of them! I think it is rightfully recognized as a brilliant tour de force of two of cinema's most fecund experimental filmmaking minds. I really appreciate the preliminary information on the memorial tribute for Cecille, one of the most under-appreciated seminal forces in driving experimental/avant garde filmmaking, with a particular spotlight on yeoman women filmmakers. I had learned privately of Aram's passage, and thank you for announcing it. It is important for people to recognize how essential each were to the other, as intimate partners, and partnered artists. I'd like to talk to you privately, if you don't mind emailing, regarding Cecille. I have been an admirer for many years, and always wanted to invite you for a program. Maybe one of these days!

The Cecile Starr Memorial Tribute in NY is October 1, separate announcement to follow. Also, sorry to report Cecile's widow Aram Boyajian had been quite ill, and passed recently this month. Spook Sport is a film by Mary Ellen Bute, in which she hired Norman McLaren to do the animation. It is not a film by Norman McLaren, despite the NFBC's attempt to 'reclaim' this film as McLaren's. Papers in Cecile Starr's Bute collection clearly prove this is a film by director Mary Ellen Bute best regards, Cindy Keefer Center for Visual Music www.centerforvisualmusic.org CVM email is cvmaccess (at) gmail.com -- Forwarded message -- From: Elizabeth McMahon elizmcma...@gmail.com To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Cc: Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2015 18:29:04 -0400 Subject: Re: [Frameworks] What are the 3 Essential Films that you would show Artists on their first foray into the Moving Image Realm ? RIP Cecile Starr. She championed so many experimental filmmakers, especially those who were women, and yes, it, gender, it is an important distinction. Few would know about Mary Ellen Bute (and Ted Nemeth), or (Alexander Alexeieff and) Claire Parker (or Starr and her husband, recently newly widowed husband, partner is celluloid crime Aram Boyajian) who, without her intense and incisive scholarship, advocacy, and distribution of experimental, avant garde, and animation of each type, we would all be so diminished in our understanding of film history. Dennis is right about McClaren as so brilliant as to be included in the top of essentials, but I won't play this silly 3 films limit nonsense. All you need is the filmography from Anthology Film Archives ongoing, infamous Essential CInema series, a stalwart primer in basic film knowledge, to know what to program for your students or friends. Gary Handman, nee of UCLA, happily retired albeit available if you seek him out, is a librarian after just about everyone's heart, his syllabi in film studies over the years he worked and taught are essential, too, if what to see and know about in film history and studies. Perfect distillations with no BS. But, yeah, for each of the 3 chosen, I would program McLaren. Neigbours and Spook Sport are my two faves. Geez, Oskar Fischinger is my favorite, anything just anything, and good golly, Lotte Reineger, anyone? See, I succumbed and fell in to this nonsense. This is just absurd.
