Re: [Frameworks] Painting directly to film

2017-12-01 Thread lagonaboba
I’m reticent to put art associative words around anyone’s work, but you might 
consider the work of Aldo Tambellini, who painted on, inked on, scratched on, 
film, in the early 1960’s.
You would have to ask him if he considered his work “abstract expressionist”. 
He’s till alive and active at 87, and lives in Cambridge, MA You can find some 
examples on youTube.
“Blackout”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQMBlV9tUnk
“Black Trip” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQMBlV9tUnk

and numerous others.

Another from Frampton, regrettably neither contemporary nor “by frameworkers

Works and Days, 1969, 12:00min.   see FMC

one of Joyce Wieland’s films (some frameworker surely knows which) contains the 
Beach Boy’s song Vegetable.

ps.  if you accept ethnographic films as “experimental” (and i don’t know why 
you would but the A-G category excludes some brilliant non-narrative 
non-feature films)
there are some wonderful films about agriculture by such filmmakers as John 
Marshall and Robert Gardner.
Gardner and Karl Muller’s Land Divers of Melanesia  concerns a yam harvest.

The concerns and interests implicit in your inquiry, time, immediacy, delay, 
and the live, liquid, streaming nature of the signal, were extensively explored 
in many early works of analog video.  
 
The most obvious that comes to mind is Ira Schneider and Frank Gillette’s  Wipe 
Cycle.  Also Shirley Clarke’s TeePee Videospace Troup

Anyone interested in such ideas should read Ina Bloom’s excellent text, The

This is a really good book. I used to own it in the 70’s, but I sold it when I

Sadly, he died this past year. Problem with your offer is that the book can be

Stephanie,

Whether or not the forum is appropriate, I think the question is too broad and 
too vague. An opening question would be does Media Studies mean production?
If “yes” to production, what are your aspirations and how much money do you 
want to spend?
A frequent contributor to this forum, Dave Tetzlaff, used to seem to take great 
pleasure in giving well informed, detailed answers to queries such as this, but 
I haven’t seen posts from him lately.

Re: [Frameworks] Werner Nekes Travels

2017-01-24 Thread lagonaboba
Werner Nekes and Dore O. visited Sarah Lawrence College when I was an student 
there in 1971. While of course I recall their Jum Jum, I was more taken by Dore 
O.’s Kaldalon, an exquisite “landscape” film, shot during their recent travels 
in Iceland. Both were still rapturously enthusiastic about Iceland. I’ve wanted 
to visit the Iceland of that film ever since. I think the closest (in luminance 
and spirit) I ever got was in the high Andes of central Ecuador. Both Nekes and 
Dore O. were sweet, gracious and giving individuals, most generous with their 
time with eager young filmmakers. To expand a bit this eulogistic thread, Nekes 
and Dore O. came to Sarah Lawrence thanks to Howard Guttenplan, who brought a 
number of prominent filmmakers, all of whom played significant roles in the 
education of the two film students interested in Avant-Garde work.

[Frameworks] Exemplary Sound Design in AG Film

2016-05-15 Thread lagonaboba
For a class I’m preparing, I’m interested in suggestions as to Experimental 
Films with exemplary, excellent sound design and sound editing.
By excellent I mean, complex, layered, inventive, of rich and nuanced 
timbre….excellent for it’s sonic qualities (as opposed to strictly intellectual 
qualities).
As I plan to rent prints, it would be helpful if the works were available from 
FMC, Canyon, MOMA or some USA domestic distributor.
I would include:

Baillie’s Castro Street  & Quick Billy, 
Kubelka’s Unsere Afrikareise, 
Hindle’s Watersmith
Jack Chambers’ Hart of London

Thanks.

Re: [Frameworks] Films about glass and light

While it has been too too many years since I have seen the early work of Andrew 
Noren,
I’m certain that the film formally known as Kodak Ghost Poems, and some of his 
later films
would definitely meet your criteria.  Certainly the part about light, and much 
of Noren’s light came in through glass windows.

Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Films on Farming/ Agriculture

2016-01-14 Thread lagonaboba
Taylor Dunne,  Corn Mother  (on vimeo)

Monteith McCollum’s work might be of interest (samples on Vimeo)

one of Andrew Noren’s lesser known films (I don’t know if he ever formally 
declared it to be a finished film, or part of a larger film) involved typically 
Noren-esque light bathed texture and color, of opium poppy fields in 
Afghanistan or Pakistan, men harvesting oozing latex.  Seen in 1971? at the old 
Mercer St. Kitchen. Noren’s footage of Panda bears in heat in the same show, 
though I guess that’s not agriculture.

If Sweetgrass is to be considered “avant-garde/experimental” there are many 
works.
Check with DER, under Agriculture; certainly not all, but a few titles are 
film-form smart.
http://www.der.org/films/index-by-subject.html#agri

Re: [Frameworks] sound examples in film + video

2015-06-15 Thread lagonaboba
For mainstream features, check out the BFI Screen Guides text, 100 Modern 
Soundtracks by Phillip Brophy.
Brophy’s introduction offers a constructive contextualizing perspective.  
Decent text for laying a groundwork for thinking about sound in narrative 
features.
Bresson is always brilliant with sound.  
Kubelka’s sound in Unsere Afrikareise is fantastic.
Baillie is sonically strong in Castro Street and Quick Billy.
Deborah Stratman does some great sound work.
My own, Suite of Summer Evenings, if I may, has a rich soundscape. (if you’d 
like to judge for yourself, I’ll send you the Vimeo password).

 The Kitchen is another story, the origins of which are inseparable from the

 The long story of the Kitchen is, no doubt like so many art politic stories, 
 complex and conflicted.
 To learn more about the early kitchen you must contact Dimitri Devyatkin
