[Frameworks] Submit to Black Box @ Edinburgh International Film Festival

[Kim Knowles]

CALL FOR EXPERIMENTAL SUBMISSIONS – EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
DEADLINE: 6 FEBRUARY 2020
FESTIVAL DATES: 17 – 28 JUNE 2020

Hello Frameworkers!

It’s January again and time for the (slightly delayed) annual invitation to 
submit to Black Box, the Edinburgh International Film Festival’s experimental 
strand. This year I’ll be splitting the work with Lydia Beilby who has moved 
over from Shorts to join me as Experimental Film Programmer.

We’d like to offer fee waivers to Frameworkers again. To receive a FilmFreeway 
Fee waiver code please email the EIFF Submissions Team at 
submissi...@edfilmfest.org.uk and make sure to quote 'Frameworks' in the 
subject header.

Please note the following:
Shorts cannot be older than June 2019.
Shorts cannot have been previously broadcasted or available online.
UK shorts must be a Scottish Premiere.
International Shorts must be a UK Premiere.

Any questions please get in touch. I’ve received some emails already and if you 
haven’t received a reply yet it’s just because I’m still catching up with 
myself after a crazy intense year of writing. Please be assured that if you’ve 
sent me a link to your film it will be processed as normal and I’ll do my best 
to send confirmation of receipt.

I won’t be at Rotterdam this year but Lydia will, and she’ll be happy to meet 
up. Drop her a line if you’re attending: lydia.bei...@edfilmfest.org.uk.

All the very best for 2020!

[Frameworks] Fee Waiver: Edinburgh International Film Festival

[Kim Knowles]

CALL FOR EXPERIMENTAL SUBMISSIONS – EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
DEADLINE: 7 February 2019
FESTIVAL DATES: 19 – 30 June 2019

Hi Frameworkers and happy new year to you all!

I’m a bit behind with sending out this annual announcement, but as is usually 
the case, Frameworks subscribers are entitled to a submission fee waiver for 
the BLACK BOX experimental strand of EIFF. Many of you have screened in Black 
Box before and some of you have even made the trip to present your films in 
person so you know what a cool and welcoming place it is! 16mm, 35mm, digital: 
all are welcome! Shorts and mid-length films are preferred, but features are 
also considered.

The procedure is slightly different this year. As some of you may know, I’m 
working on a book with a looming deadline and therefore my emailing and 
submission processing time is severely limited. If you would like to submit, 
please contact Melissa Conneely, the Submissions Co-ordinator at 
submissi...@edfilmfest.org.uk<mailto:submissi...@edfilmfest.org.uk> with the 
subject line clearly marked FRAMEWORKS FEE WAIVER and you’ll receive the 
relevant forms. Some people are emailing me directly with links – this is fine 
and your film(s) will be processed, but you may not receive a response from me 
for some time! I’ll try to answer email queries as quickly as possible but 
please be patient.
PLEASE NOTE: a UK premiere is required for all feature films and international 
short films, and works should be no more than 12 months old at the time of the 
Festival. If your film can be viewed online without a password it will 
unfortunately be ineligible. A Scottish premiere is a requirement for UK short 
films. Rules and regs here: 
https://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/press-industry/submissions/submission-rules-and-regulations.
I will be attending the Rotterdam Film Festival from Thursday 24th to Monday 
28th. Come and say hello. I look forward to seeing your work/chatting to 
you/having a beer together etc.
Peace and love, as always.

[Frameworks] Submit to the Edinburgh International Film Festival!

[Kim Knowles]

Dear Frameworkers,

Further to my last email, I just wanted to remind you that I’m still accepting 
submissions for BLACK BOX, the experimental strand of the Edinburgh 
International Film Festival (20 June – 1 July 2018) until mid-February. Many of 
you have already been in touch (thank you!). If you’re still waiting for a 
response from me please don’t think I’m ignoring you – I’ll be back to you by 
the end of the week!

Submission details and FAQs can be found here: 
https://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/press-industry/submissions. As always, Frameworks 
subscribers receive a fee waiver and it would be helpful if you could include 
this email in your response (without sending it to the entire list!).

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

All the best,
Kim Knowles

Re: [Frameworks] Black Box Submission

[Kim Knowles]

Hi Jacob,


Thanks for getting in touch. I didn't catch this at Rotterdam so thank you for 
reaching out. I don't manage to get through all of the shorts sadly - it's 
frustrating. And I rarely have time to watch things in the videotheque.


Could you send me the link and password (if you're submitting online)? I don't 
need any more than that at this stage. Consider the fee waived!


All the best,

Kim

Dear Kim,

I would very much like to submit a film to Black Box at Edinburgh Film 
festival. Perhaps you saw the film whilst you were at IFFR: 
https://iffr.com/en/2017/films/dat-likwid-land


Although I've never met you, or screened at Edinburgh before, money is a little 
slim at the moment so wondered if it would be possible to use the frameworks 
fee waiver for my submission?

All the best,

[Frameworks] Resources on history of 16mm technology

[Kim Knowles]

Hi there Frameworkers,


I wonder if anyone can help: I'm writing about the use of 16mm in experimental 
filmmaking of the 1970s and am looking for texts that deal with the history of 
film technology. Not technical manuals necessarily but scholarly sources - 
books or articles that look, for example, at the emergence of 16mm as an 
amateur/documentary/artists' medium.


As always, any suggestions would be extremely gratefully received.


All the best,

Kim

?This is the kind of vitriol that once made me leave Frameworks. I came back 
because I missed the otherwise healthy exchanges, the generosity, the sense of

Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it is to 
start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and select 
exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage), minimalist 
(Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include 
Brakhage's lens-captured films in the problematic abstract.

you would like to submit a film please contact me first by email (make sure you

Don't know if anyone has suggested this: 'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the

Re: [Frameworks] Analog and digital

[Kim Knowles]

I'm wondering how to think through some of these issues on a theoretical level, 
a way of teasing out the complexities around medium-specificity, aura, 
nostalgia etc. Someone mentioned hybrid works, those that bring together the 
qualities of film and (digital) video and the different things that can be done 
in each medium. I've been looking at some films by Thorsten Fleisch ('Wound 
Footage'), Shambhavi Kaul ('Scene 32') and Makino Takashi. I was excited to see 
the thread developing in this area and then disappointed to see it fade so 
quickly. I love film, deeply, and lose sleep over the thought of its demise 
(really!), but I wonder how film and video might be able to talk to each other, 
to have the conversation that they really need to have, to work things out, 
accept their differences ... I wonder how theory might follow, how our 
understanding of film/video aesthetics might be changed as a result. There has 
been some (well, a lot!) of work on medium-specificity in the digital era but 
none of it seems to look at hybridity, especially in terms of the embodied 
responses that some Frameworkers have been referring to. Does anyone know of 
work in this area?
I think this has been a fascinating and inspiring thread. The voices of film 
lovers should be heard. Play loud! 
Kim

  I'd call film analog because each grain is exposed to a light of varying

  analog.
 
 Digital - provides a precise voltage state (either on or off) for each 
 photosite/pixel. Here is the thing.
 
 1. If you say digital is ones and zeroes you are referring to and analog 
 representation of on and off. It isn't really ones and zeroes.
 Noise floor and strength of signal, and signal degradation will all 
 affect how this is represented. In digital it is either on or off, if a 
 signal is above the off state but not fully at the on state, then what? 
 It is rounded either up or down to on or off. This can lead to various 
 issues in either capture, or display.
 
 2. All imagers are ANALOG. In the process of converting the light 
 striking the imager (film or electronic sensor) to an electronic version 
 (um analog) for storage and later display it is sampled and converted 
 to numerical values. The more samples per second, the smoother the 
 resulting waveforms will be when the digital information is reconverted 
 to analog for display. The more pixels as well, equates to smoother 
 transitions.
