Re: [Frameworks] 16mm print of Ballet Mecanique -- version by William Moritz
Clarifications re recent William Moritz posts - Jonathan, only a small collection of LGBT-related materials from Moritz's estate were donated to the ONE archive, per his wishes. No experimental films were given to ONE. The USC Library would not hold any rights for any Moritz films. Regarding Adam's post on Moritz, while Moritz had a brief affiliation, he definitely did not work at iota.

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm print of Ballet Mecanique -- version by William Moritz
Dear Cindy Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like the CVM is the place to go! What I saw at the ONE were video copies only--clearly as it's not a film archive. But, now I'll know not to pursue a deadend at USC.

Light Cone definitely rents this print. They had an older silent print when Moritz sent this one and we debated about the colors and editing.

Another possibility, if CVM doesn¹t have it, is iotaCenter, where Moritz worked. Adam On 1/7/14 8:51 PM, Jonathan M.
