Re: [Frameworks] 16mm rewind in paris
hi pip, that's great, thankyou. i'll need to use one first thing tuesday morning, although it may be useful to have access to one the next morning too, and if so i'd be really grateful for your help. i'm going to email l'ab and etna and see if we can make a friendly agreement, one thing i'm unsure of though (because of my terrible french!) is where they're both based in the city. i'd like to use somewhere as close to the communist party headquarters as possible, which i *think* is between av. mathurin moreau and the bv de la vilette. obviously i'd travel anywhere if i have to! which of the two do you think would be best, bearing that in mind? thanks again, edwin Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:27:14 +0100 To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com From: framewo...@re-voir.com Subject: Re: [Frameworks] 16mm rewind in paris Hi Edwin, There are L'Abominable and LEtna but you have to be a member.

Hello everyone, I'm working on a project right now involving footage of soldiers in Hollywood films praying. Does anyone have any recommendations for any films in particular for me to look into?

I put this question to a bunch of my colleagues and friends and will undoubtedly have a nice long answer for you shortly. Off the top of my head, though, I came up with a few: Battleground God Is My Co-Pilot Objective Burma Forty Seconds Over Tokyo You should also check Jeanine Basinger's book The WWII Combat Film and Thomas Doherty's Projections of War, both very smart books that touch on the subject.

Re: [Frameworks] canyon in the news (bad news dept)
From: Fred Camper f...@fredcamper.com Subject: Lately I am part time and junior at a strongly tuition-driven school in which avant-garde film is certainly not the focus. So I don't show a lot of that. But I have found that if you intelligently and passionately make the case to students for, for example, showing film on film, many are receptive. I use some of my prints, borrow some from friends, and use the prints in the school's library that few faculty there use today. I would point out that none of those options directly help Canyon. One of the revenue losses that distributors are suffering is related to the schools that do have an archive. Why would they rent a Brakhage film from Canyon when they bought one ten years ago and can use the library version? Very few universities are now buying prints, so distributors are primarily a rental only source. Another disturbing thing from the article: ..it has sent letters appealing for funds to its 325 filmmaker members and to 1,500 renters. The letter-raising campaign has raised about $500 so far, Mr. Angerame said. I don't know how long that campaign has been running, but I $500 is pretty disgruntling.

Re: [Frameworks] War Films Featuring Prayer
As I recall, there's an interesting although brief sequence of soldiers participating in a post-battle mass in Apocalypse Now. I believe it happens after one of the two battles featuring Robert Duvall's character. I remember it being pretty loaded visually, with a lamb (or maybe a calf? ) being hoisted into the air by a helicopter in the background. Might be worth a look...

Re: [Frameworks] War Films Featuring Prayer
I think the movie BATAAN has a scene with Robert Walker praying right before he's killed...but I can't remember if he's actually praying or if it's just a prayer-like moment. Also SEVENTH HEAVEN with Jimmy Stewart right before he loses his sight.
