[Frameworks] Matchbox.TV | Launch
*LAUNCH OF MATCHBOX.TV <http://matchbox.tv/>* www.mtchbx.tv <http://www.mtchbx.tv/> Episode 1: Paul Rooney: /Shake It Off/ *Matchbox.TV* is a new online video commissioning and exhibition platform conceived and curated by *Nathalie Boobis* (London) and *Insa Langhorst* (Berlin) that offers an experimental framework for artists to make new work. Invited artists are asked to make a 5 minute video in response to a set of 10 questions that have been extracted from various DADA writings: Why? How do you light a match? Which way? Is the human being a priori good? Did you see the man through the letterbox? Which deed creates this rage? Does the horn sound? Are we because of you? Eternity? Of what concern are they to us? In responding to abstract questions within a fixed framework, artists have the opportunity to explore, reflect, challenge or subvert their practice and the limits of video as a medium. The resulting videos offer fresh insights into each artist’s work. Matchbox.TV is a free site that aims to bring the work of international artists at different stages of their career to a broad, online audience and promotes the use of video as an artistic tool. New videos will be released in monthly ‘episodes’ at 6pm GMT on the first Thursday of every month. Past episodes will then be archived on the site. Episode 1 is Paul Rooney's(b. & based Liverpool, UK)response to the questions, titled /Shake It Off /. Episode 2 will launch on Thursday 1 September with work by Jackie Connolly (b. & based NY, USA) and Episode 3 will launch on Thursday 6 October with a video by Eloïse Bonneviot (b. France, based London, UK). __ Nathalie Boobis(b. Leicester, UK 1984) is a curator based in London. She studied MFA Curating at Goldsmiths and practices independently as well as coordinating the Artist Commissions Programme for SPACE gallery in Hackney, London. She recently ran the gallery, Green Ray, in Deptford, London with Gabriela Acha and Katy Orkisz. She is director of the ongoing project, The Shadow Archive, a growing digital archive of self-organised art spaces. She runs a collaborative inquiry research group, The Future is a Collective Project, that explores perspectives of otherness and overlooked knowledge as key tools in future thinking. She is currently working towards an exhibition exploring these themes. *www.greenray.co* <http://www.greenray.co/>* **www.theshadowarchive.wordpress.com* <http://www.theshadowarchive.wordpress.com/> Insa Langhorst**(b.

Recently she started a series on people waiting, together with Manchester-based photographer Jonathan Purcell. She also participated in the Spaces Between the Cities Project, working with a team of international video artists. *www.berlinsomnambulator-blog.tumblr.com <http://www.berlinsomnambulator-blog.tumblr.com/>* Paul Rooney (b.

[Frameworks] tumblr | research project
Dear Frameworkers, I am looking to initiate an exchange of thoughts and ideas with filmmakers and other associates of the filmmaking world regarding a research project of mine. The project looks at existing visual narratives and underlying hierarchies within the film world focusing especially on Palestine. The idea is to initiate a discussion on how we can use these narratives and break hierarchies to create change (and whether film is a tool that can be used for this). I have set up a tumblr and would like to encourage you to have a look and share your thoughts on this topic on the tumblr. Also, if you know anyone who might be interested in the topic or someone working on something similar, please share it with them, too. http://breakingmirrors-project.tumblr.com/ Thanks, Insa -- www.insalanghorst.com +44 778 93 8 22 84 (UK) +49 176 86 74 83 45 (D) insa.langho...@gmail.com ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] Ken loach looking for transfer tape
Hi, I just saw a post about the english director Ken Loach, who is looking for transfer tape, in order to finish editing his latest feature. He is still editing on a Steenbeck together with his editor Jonathan Morris. Just thought one of you might be able to help them. More details and how to contact their production company here:http://www.screendaily.com/5062851.article And this is what exaxtly they are looking for: Specifically, Loach is looking for 25-30 rolls of dry transfer tape, 13mm wide, developed for Acmade Film Edge Numbering (or edge coding) machines. They are due to run out by the end of next week.

[Frameworks] Digitisation of 16mm film in Canada
Hi, I have got some 16mm film material I would like to have digitised and am currently looking for a good place to do this with in Canada. I am based in the UK, so the digitised material would have to be shipped here on an external harddrive; the reels are in Vancouver. There are 3 reels, each one of them is 30min long - so I guess it`s a total of something around 3600 feet. The digitised files should be compatible with Final Cut Pro. I got this quote for the digitisation of all three reels: Video plus audio: $1548 Video only: $1080 Is this a good price or are there any other places you can recommend?

Re: [Frameworks] Which Super8 Stock Should I Use?
hi everyone, thank you for all your comments! i think i am just going to go ahead and try out what you recommended in terms of exposure etc. if i manage to get something decent together i´ll let you know! insa On 20 Jun 2013, at 14:14, Roger Wilson wrote: Hi Insa, Super 8mm Colour Negative film can look beautiful if it is exposed properly. A big problem filmmakers have is not knowing their super 8mm camera well enough. Most Super 8mm cameras do not have the same shutter angles as 16mm and 35mm cameras (180), the shutter angle on Super 8mm cameras can range from 150 to 220. Because the shutter angle is different in each camera you should first find out what the shutter angle is for your camera. Another thing with shooting Super 8mm negative stock is that most Super 8mm cameras do not read the speed of the new kodak film stocks properly anymore. This is why if you shoot using any Super 8 film stock, whether reversal or negative you should be using a hand held light meter and not rely on the internal light meter. Do this and you will be exposing the film correctly. If you can get some ND (neutral density) filters that fit your lens that would also be a good thing, so you can control the light when shooting in bright sunlight. If you can get some lights I would also recommend using them for your external night scenes. If you can light I would say go with the 200T, if not then the 500T would be best for night scenes. It will be more grainy though, which might be the look you are going for. Controlling your exposure through the process of controlling the light and your f-stops so they work for you is the best method. I like to work with an f-stop of around 4 to 5.6. Somewhere around the centre of the lens creates nice sharp images. As for transfer houses, I use Frame Discreet in Toronto Canada, not sure where you are located. Anyway feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions. Super 8mm film can look like 16mm if used properly. Roger D.

Super-8 is a medium that was intended for reversal film. Color negative in S8 is usually quite ugly, and you probably could shoot 16mm for not much more money, with better results. Underexposed S8 color negative can be truly hideous, even when scanned on a great film scanner. However, Tri-X reversal still exists, and can be quite beautiful. Consider BW -- it's cheaper and looks better.
