On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of
Alternative Film/Video Belgrade, we are organizing the first Alternative
Film/Video Research Forum. This two-day event (6-7 December 2012), running
concurrently with the festival (5-9 December 2012), will gather a group of
researchers
and writers who are
All:
Hello. I am preparing a new research project on the history of
experimental/avant-garde film festivals and thought I might ask the list for
advice. I am primarily interested in the early history of these film festivals
(pre-1980s) and would love to know about any throughout the world
All:
Thank you to everyone who replied to me, on list and off. I will continue to
be in touch with people, as I have been replying directly to private emails.
Best regards,
Greg de Cuir, Jr.

Not in the Czech Republic, but do consider coming to visit your Eastern
European colleagues in Serbia. I've never been to the Czech Republic but I
imagine it is a short plane ride to Belgrade (or a short bus ride from
Vienna). Alternative Film/Video Belgrade (5-9 December) is
Eleni, all:
I would be interested to hear about references for this as well.
If I can also throw a request into the ring, I am currently writing a
presentation on the aesthetic of mobility/movement in contemporary avant-garde
film and video. I would love to know about suggested readings

Great looking program, with some wonderful films and videos. Thank you for
sharing. Good luck with FLEXfest 2013!

All:
Very interested in this question and the responses. Just today I was asked to
put together a special festival program on the history of American avant-garde
cinema. This is for an audience that may have never seen a survey of this type,
so it should be very basic and canonical even but
Dear Frameworkers:
Hello. I will be in Prague next week and was wondering if I can meet anyone
involved in programming avant-garde films and videos. I would love to be able
to see some contemporary works from the Czech Republic (or historical works)
and also learn about any avant-garde film

We would be interested in docs that tend more towards the experimental rather
than the expository. We leave the boundaries fairly open when we call for
submissions. Of course, we prefer works that evade classification, that are
alternative to the traditional category of documentary.

He was a good friend of our festival. We were happy to have him here the past
two years teaching a workshop, participating in our research forum, and of
course presenting a program of his films. He will be missed. God bless and rest
in peace.

A new volume Work in Cinema was just released, edited by Ewa Mazierska.
Haven't read it yet but I'm eager to.

Kim Knowles on bodily inscriptions in contemporary experimental film
Dear all:
At Alternative Film/Video Belgrade we make no distinction between
young/emerging/student work and other works. All are eligible for and welcome
in our competition program. We often have student works that are nominated by
our jury to the festival's list of significant achievements.
Dear Caryn:
We actually have a non-competition program in our festival called Alternative
Narrative, specifically for works like this that slip through the boundaries.
Since we're already in touch I'm sure we'll talk more!
Best,

Dear colleagues:
The new issue of the journal NECSUS has recently been published online and in
open access (http://www.necsus-ejms.org/portfolio/autumn-2014_war/). Please

I'm with you Kelly and everything you're saying, even though I have only
followed this thread intermittently. A bit more maturity and understanding on
all sides seems like it would not hurt.
