[Frameworks] LIFT Film Labs Gathering Streaming Announcement

[LIFT Special Projects]

In order to facilitate those who weren’t able to register or visit Toronto,
we will be live-streaming the daily Community Discussion Sessions courtesy
CFMDC.tv

Please follow this link to watch online: www.lift.ca/livestream

The following will be livestreamed (and available for re-viewing at a
future time):

*FRIDAY MAY 26*

Film Labs/ Introductions

11:00–13:00 EDT
Presenters: Simran Ankolkar, Tsen-Chu Hsu, Luciana Decker, Miglė
Križinauskaitė-Bernotienė

In the first group discussion session of the gathering four participants
will speak to the status of analogue filmmaking in the context of where
they are practicing, India, Bolivia, Taiwan and Lithuania, respectively.
Each presenter will share information about the initiatives they are part
of and the questions they are asking as they work to develop labs. This
session is meant to help us collectively understand the diversity of
perspectives and experiences for participants in the gathering. After the
presentations we will open the floor to all other participants interested
in sharing information about their own labs and practices.

*SATURDAY MAY 27*

Colour Reversal
11:00 – 12:00 EDT
Presented by Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative

Colour Reversal is an analogue incubator by and for BIPOC artists,
prioritizing a gender diverse cohort. This panel features five artists who
participated in the hybrid lab-residency hosted by the Saskatchewan
Filmpool Cooperative in March 2022. The lab was inspired by alternative
analogue spaces in so-called Canada such as Philip Hoffman’s Independent
Imaging Retreat (Film Farm), Berny Hi’s Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative
Film Retreat, and most especially, conversations between prairie womxn
filmmakers Rhayne Vermette, Heidi Philips and Amalie Atkins about the lack
of analogue incubators that worked to redress gender disparity in the
medium. Colour Reversal was conceptualized by Rhayne Vermette and Hagere
Selam “shimby” Zegeye-Gebrehiwot as a place for prairie artists to gather
and experiment with analogue film supported by a web of art aunties/elders
such as Lindsay McIntyre, David Garneau, Niki Little, Alyssa Fearon, Elder
Alma Poitras and organizations from our local arts ecology. The project was
made possible by the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts
through a Sector Innovation Grant.

*SUNDAY MAY 28*

Analogue Film Festivals and The Future of Projection
12:00 – 14:00 EDT
Facilitator: Nicolas Rey

Filmmakers who are part of the Film Labs Network have access to labs that
are equipped with the means to process and print film. These labs represent
an important source of contemporary film material to be projected, from
original reversal stocks in 8mm and super-8 all the way to combined sound
prints in 16mm and 35mm. Apart from the case of filmmakers traveling to
project their own material on their own equipment, this production involves
the existence of a network of venues and organizations ready to show these
works, with operational projection equipment and trained projectionists.
Film archives and festivals willing to show heritage prints, alongside
venues and organizations interested and active in keeping the knowledge and
the projectors around, all share the issues about maintenance and know-how
that makes this practice uncertain in the long term. Beyond the existence
of the ‘filmprojection21.org’ website that has tried to survey the network
of ‘those who care about photochemical film projection’ and of ‘
sprocketschool.org’ as an on-line resource for projection
know-how, or the publication in 2019 of ‘The Art of Film Projection: A
Beginner’s Guide’ by the George Eastman House, what concrete tools can we
give ourselves to strengthen our chances to see this practice endure?

*MONDAY MAY 29*

Ecology and Film Panel
Time: 11:00 – 13:00 EDT
Presenters: Labodoble

This discussion session will center around the topic of ecology and film.
The environmental impact of toxic chemicals used in photochemical
filmmaking is front of mind for many filmmakers, especially those whose
practice deals with the subject of ecology. There are a variety of ways in
which filmmakers experiment with and adapt conventional photochemistry to
mitigate this environmental impact. The facilitators will approach ecology
as a domain of eco-systems implying multiple ecologies among which the most
crucial ones would be ecology of perception, knowledge and work. Alexandra
Moralesová will be joined by Phil Hoffman, Franci Duran, Robert Schaller,
Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie in person, as well as Georgy Bagdasarov and
Kim Knowles virtually.

*TUESDAY MAY 30*

Growing Membership, Growing Community
10:00 – 12:00 EDT
Facilitator: AgX Film Collective

AgX Film Collective will collaboratively lead a group discussion on the
topic of growing membership and community through labs, informed by their
own experience of working with students and faculty from surrounding
institutions in the Boston-area. They will invite in other gathering

I do not work for this outfit but they have quite a few color/b/w options
for 100ft rolls of double perf 16mm stock, i.e

[Jeff Kreines]

Depends. I think some of the earlier ones line theb70A and 70DA require double perf, but it’s been a long time since I’ve used one.

[Frameworks] Films with double perf

[Quentin Darcq]

Hello Frameworkers,

Do you know if the Bell & Howell Filmo 70 takes double perfored films or it
is single-edge perfored ?

As for films with double perforation, I only know so far the Fomapan black
and  white reversal. As far as I know, there is no option of color
with double perf ? Do you know if there are other options or not ?

Thanks in advance

Quentin
