Re: [Frameworks] 16mm reversal lab(s)?
The place in Plattsburgh is Martin Baumgartner (phone: 518-561-6312). He does almost any color reversal stock in a hand-cranked machine. He is a wealth of knowledge about film processing, so it's worth calling him and finding out if he's available and how long it will take. As far as I know, AlphaCine is still processing reversal, so is BPS in Batavia, IL, as is Dwayne's.

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm reversal lab(s)?
surely old pac lab is still processing old tri-x? as for the difference in the ASA ratng: that would be because B&W film is more sensitive to the blue part of the spectrum; expose it under tungsten light, and you've effectively reduced the sensitivity of your film, all other things being equal; to compensate for this you're asked to rate your film at 160 instead of 200, which would then compel you to open up your aperture about 1/3 of a stop. regards s On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 5:04 PM, ev petrol wrote: > hey folks! > > where are you using for your 16mm reversal these days? > got the address for yale from colorlab; kodak suggested somewhere in > plattsburgh (?) > > exposed some tri-x at 200ASA (instead of the recommended 160ASA) under a > halogen tungsten light ... thinking it'll probably be ok (?) > why the difference in recommended exposures btw, anyone have an idea? > (since there's no added filter suggested for tungsten ...

Re: [Frameworks] wide angle projector lens?
> thanks scott. > what do you mean by the mirrors? If you look at a typical rear projection system, they will often have a projector pointing into a mirror, pointing into a second mirror pointing into the screen. This allows you to effectively increase the total throw to the screen when you don't have the space to do it directly. This was very popular for small commercial theatres shoehorned into shop spaces back in the sixties and seventies (and that mostly means porno houses but also includes art houses and the occasional all-surf-movie theatre). I don't know of any current theatres using these systems other than the Brattle up in Boston. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ritterbin/3330731537/ The booth at the Brattle is a major pain in the neck, you can't see a damn thing out the porthole. I don't know how they manage to run anything in focus at all. Draper makes some single-mirror and double-mirror systems intended for small video projection systems which might be adaptable. http://www.draperinc.com/projectionscreens/RPX.asp The RPX has the projector down below, pointing into a mirror, which gives you perhaps an additional four feet of throw . In addition you gain a foot or two since the mirror can be located closer to the wall than the front of the projector could be. I think you could use this with a front projection 16mm system, although with only a single mirror the image would be reversed for front projection. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Okay, B&W process is easy. Single layer of emulsion, it's got silver halide compounds in it. Light strikes them, knocks electrons off, they get charged. You put it in a developing agent which converts the exposed crystals to metallic silver. Then you put it in a fixing agent which removes all the free halides. There are millions of developing agents out there, and a lot of them are mentioned in Mees' "Theory of the Photographic Process." There are several different ways that they work. Most of them like to work in alkali solutions, some (like pyro) like acid solutions. Among the things that kind of work for development are coffee. Since catechin is a weak developer, a strong cup of tea might also work. You can look through Mees and see some of the various possibilities. For fixing, just about any reducing agent will kind of work. Thiosulfate is nice because it combines the all the various halide compounds rapidly and well and the end products are very soluble. Sodium cyanide works even better, but it's nasty stuff. My inclination is not to try using anything but standard thiosulfate fixers unless you really know what the end products of the reaction are and how soluble they are. I know onion and table salt seem to work, but you can't necessarily know what they're leaving behind in the emulsion and you won't know what they have left for a decade or two, possibly. And no, the Kodak Hypo-Check kit is basically a test for residual thiosulfate ions in the emulsion, it won't detect whatever is left over from onion fixing. > I know an extreme salt solution (extreme as in you put in so much salt the = > water can't take it anymore) will work too but it takes a long time (2 days= > I heard). How long do onions take? Same as with any other fixer twice as long as it takes for the film to clear.

R-9 is the traditional sodium ferricyanide bleach, it works very well and it's not really all that toxic unless it is combined with an acid. R-10 is a mix of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid that produces potassium persulfate in solution which is what does the actual job. I don't know of any easy natural sources for any ferricyanide or persulfate compounds, but I know that sodium ferricyanide was known in the 18th century and is used in making prussian blue dye. My suspicion is that to do a proper bleaching job you will need something from one of those two chemical families. ANYWAY to answer your original question, Kodak process color films all have most of the complicated stuff built into the film, not into the processing. There are three individual layers of B&W emulsions, each sensitized for a given range of light colors, and each with a dye material in the emulsion itself. (Yes, I am oversimplifying this in the case of the yellow layer but I've already gone on too long). The first step is a conventional developer that generates a conventional silver B&W image on each of those layers. You can use whatever developer you want, including coffee or Acufine or whatever gives you the look you want. The second step is where all the fancy stuff goes. The color developing agent connects those dyes up to the metallic silver in each of those emulsions and since the dyes are in the layers when the film is made, each layer gets connected to dye of the proper color. This is the fancy stuff, and there is no substitute for the color developing agents. I believe they can both be ordered in small quantities from Photographer's Formulary. If you try and order CD-3 from Kodak their minimum order is a barrel. Then it's just a matter (for negative film) of washing out the unneeded dyes, bleaching out the silver image, and cleaning up any residual undeveloped halides. You can, in fact, leave out the bleach step and leave the silver image and the color image behind together, which gets you a more contrasty image with less saturation. This used to be a standard trick for press photographers working in low light. Aside from the color developing a

I think Buhl made a half-inch lens for the B&H projectors. It was ungodly slow and had awful edge-to-edge sharpness but it sort of worked. I may have one around somewhere, I will have to look. Bell and Howell made a 5/8" lens for in-flight movie systems on airplanes. It also had sharpness issues and a lot of barrel distortion. You could try asking Neil at Cardinal Sound and Motion Picture in Maryland about renting super wide lenses. 301-621-2500. I know that they have at least some B&H 5/8" lenses in their rental stock. I worry, though, that you are going to wind up spending an awful lot of money for very poor image quality.

Re: [Frameworks] SEEKING: Steenbeck Editing Table
Where are you? We have one here in the UK which is sort of spare but has an electrical problem which would need sorting out. While we're on the subject I'm looking for a 35mm one near here.

Re: [Frameworks] experimental film festival research
The most important (and arguably the biggest) experimental film festival ever (Competition du film experimental) took place in Brussels in 1958 in conjunction with the Brussels World's Fair (Expo '58). The list of participating filmmakers is impressive: Brakhage, Whitney, Clarke, Hubley, Jackobs, Breer, Anger, Menken, Maas, Jordan, d'Avino, Deren, Vanderbeek (all of course from the US), Goretta & Tanner (both representing England at the time!), Kaplan, Reichenbach, Varda, Franju, Mitry, Gruel (France), Gross (Israel), Hirsh (Netherlands), Kubelka (Austria), Polanski (Poland), and many others. The Grand Prix went to Borowczyk and Lenica from Poland for "House" - a total surprise since nobody in the West knew that experimental films where made on the other side of the Iron Curtain. The third prize went to Polanski and his now famous "Two Men with a Wardrobe". There was also a feature experimental film competition taking place simultaneously. Again the Grand Prix went to a Polish filmmaker (and writer): Tadeusz Konwicki for his "The Last Day of Summer."

I will continue to be in touch with people, as I have been replying directly to private emails. Best regards, Greg de Cuir, Jr. From: Greg DeCuir To: "frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com" Sent: Saturday, July 7, 2012 1:18 PM Subject: experimental film festival research 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 that should be included in this study. I am particularly interested in the history of Knokke Experimental Film Festival and would also love to know if anyone has research materials on this festival, or possibly oral narratives they would be willing to share. Thank you in advance for your ideas.
