Re: [Frameworks] 16 mm eiki hacked

Absolutely, I'd second this...I'd love to see more info on the LED and any
power supply mods you had to make to get it working. We've been talking
recently about getting a Super 8 projector modified with a light source
like this.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Xavi,

Looks like quite a project! Can you share any details on the LED and lens 
you're using in the projector? Are you using it as a replacement for the bulb 
or as an alternative solution for a transfer machine? I'm working on something 
similar at the moment and would be interested in knowing more. Please keep 
sharing here, I think that there's enough of an audience for these types of 
efforts. 

Best,
Chris

 Dear John,
 You can probably reach Stephen Partridge via his email address at the 
 University of Dundee. I have always seen the diagonal line as the far edge 
 of the table that the monitor is sitting on, so I'm intrigued by your 
 suggestion that it's something more complicated.
 Best wishes,
 Simon Payne

[Frameworks] Sheffield Fringe 2016 programme announcement

2016-05-19 Thread minou norouzi
*Appologies for cross-posting*







*Sheffield Fringe 2016: OBJECT DOCUMENTARYJUNE 10-18 2016 BLOC PROJECTS 71
Eyre Lane Sheffield S1 4RB*

Now in its fifth edition, the third to take place at Bloc Projects,
Sheffield Fringe includes both emerging and established artists working
with the moving image in diverse ways. Formerly an annual event, Sheffield
Fringe is now held in Sheffield biennially, outside of which it operates
nomadically through international exhibitions, events and research
projects. Its Sheffield-based manifestation coincides with Sheffield
International Documentary Film Festival (Doc/Fest), with the intention of
creating a complimentary platform for artists’ moving image work, and a
context in which to encourage creative collaboration between the
communities surrounding contemporary art and documentary film.

This year’s programme *Object Documentary* investigates the ethical
challenges of regarding documentary film as an object, and documentary
material as a resource, through a diverse series of screenings exploring
themes ranging from international conflict resolution, the nature and
creation of stories, the political use-value in filmmaking, colonial
histories, and reflections on memory and nostalgia.

Participating artists are: *Mox Mäkelä, Timo Menke & Nils Agdler, Patricia
Bandeira, Ted Kennedy, Peter Martin, Francesco Pedraglio, Leafcutter John,
Emma Leach, Alison J Carr, Jumana Manna & Sille Storihle, Rosalind
Nashashibi, Richard Wiebe, Pat Law, Sasha Litvintseva, Sarah Beddington,
Mairéad McClean, Xiaowen Zhu, Tinne Zenner, Daniel Jacoby, Ben Balcom, Sky
Hopinka, Andrée-Anne Roussel, Zachary Epcar, Patricia Azevedo & Clare
Charnley, Scott Willis, Ian Nesbitt, Liz von Graevenitz, Alistair
Macdonald, Michael Day, Richard Bartle, Maud Haya-Baviera, Lesley Guy & Lea
Torp Nielsen & Dale Holmes, Jenni Olson**, Bloc Studio Artists.*
For full programme listings and information, please visit the Sheffield
Fringe website

Admission to all screenings and events are free.
