Re: [Frameworks] Research about "Essential Cinema" ? Anthology Film Archives

[Albert Alcoz]

Thank you for your answers Pip, Joel and Mark.

I'll try to get the book *The Essential Cinema*, first published by the New
York University Press in 1975 and then by the Anthology Film Archives
around 1989.


Someone gave me the email of P. Adams Sitney so i will try to write him to
know the initial ideas behind the project Essential Cinema and the
procedures to establish and consolidate it.

Best,
Albert

[Mark Toscano]

When I did some research in the Brakhage papers at CU Boulder, I came
across a bunch of documents pertaining to the Essential Cinema
selection/committee process, which were fascinating.  Stan Brakhage was
initially involved in the committee, but ended up leaving it, apparently.
There were lists of films and spaces for people to vote for the film's
inclusion, etc.  If you can get access to some of that material (maybe P.
Adams still has them?) it would be well worth a look.

Re: [Frameworks] Research about "Essential Cinema" – Anthology Film Archives

[FrameWorks Admin]

Albert,
The project was funded by Jerome Hill, Anthology’s benefactor, but he died in 
Anthology’s second year, after that time no new acquisitions were made and 
there are no plans for future acquisitions. The project is stuck in time ca 
1971.

Hi Monise,

There seems to be some discussion about films made with the DeVry 35mm 
(“lunchbox)  camera here:
http://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=7=15678 


Some footage I shot with this camera provided a large area for hand painting 
and can be seen in my film “Regatta” which can be viewed from my webpage.

Re: [Frameworks] research

[Morgan Hoyle-Combs]

I have been using numerous wind up and hand cranked cameras made by the Kodak 
company from the 1920s. One of which is the Cine Kodak Special. Its 
essentially the precursor to the Bolex H16. Ive used it for stop motion, 
hand cranks, fade ins/fade outs etc. Obviously you can still get film for it, 
but the earlier Cine Kodak models such as the A, E and K come with teeth that 
take double perforated film. Places sell it here and there, but it has become 
hard to come by nowadays. Because of this, Ive been recycling double perf 
leader and footage to make myself hand made emulsion to be used with these 
cameras. Ive even debated snatching one of the oval keystone wind ups and 
making the use of its motor for a hand crank system. Robert Schaller has 
done both former and latter. I would look him up.

Re: [Frameworks] Research advice

Hi, Simonetta.  Four things come to mind immediately: Levinas on the face of 
the other, Deleuze and Guattari on faciality, Irving Goffman on facework, and 
Rosemarie Garland-Thompson's research on facework from within a disability 
studies framework.  Three links to get you started:

Good luck!

Re: [Frameworks] research question: pos/neg-film and chemistry on film

[Beazley Kanost]

Are you looking for recent films or older ones? If the latter, Shirley
Clarke uses bleach and (I think) other things on her short *Butterfly *that
you can see now on the recently-restored dvd of *Portrait of Jason. *Storm
de Hirsch also drew directly on film and I think used bleach but that is
all 1960s stuff and you may be asking for something more
recent/sophisticated.
