I think the emulsion was identical to T-Max 400, on a polyester base with cine perforations. More or less intended as a higher speed replacement for 2215 RAR Film, I think. And just as discontinued. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] getting through airport x-ray
Where is over there? Cuba? My advice is don't worry about it. Just take the film in your carry on. I've had film zapped from trips to Mexico with no problems. Last summer, I traveled from Canada to U.S. to Peru to Boliva and back again with 35mm Tri-X (400asa). There were several internal flights in Peru so the film was x-rayed over 10 times with no ill effects. As my Spanish is very weak I didn't bother trying mention I was carrying film. There was never any question about the film or inspection.

Any advice you have about getting through airport security/customs intact would be appreciated. Specifically I'm worried about the x-ray machines/ light exposure on the film.Once I shoot over there, what's the best way to bring it back? Would it be safer to mail it back the states?

[Frameworks] Film, Performance and Space?
Richard, the call is strange, weird . . for taking it for granted that film and performance art have something in common. Space and film makes sense. There's a cool essay by Beatriz Colomina on architecture, sexuality, and film in the volume she edited called Sexuality and Space. That's cinema . . isn't it, at least as Sense of Cinema would have it? I mean the architectural dimensions . . the architectural spaces of shots. But Colomina is onto the importance of space for questions concerned with sexuality . . . . and then, then there's performance art. I think of the Boston event in April called Near death performance art experience. Not an impartial choice, but certainly a very prominent one within American performance art. What could such an event have to do with film? And who, anyway, comes to mind when you think of performance art? Aaaargh. What is the relationship between such a practice in live performance, on one hand, and technology itself . . in general, not to speak of film in particular? There's no way around this abyss. The doubt opens up before your dismissal of documentation, Richard. It's like a giant log right in your path. And to go beyond that, like you invite us to, you know, what exactly does that mean . . that beyond that is a going along with a technology, with filmmaking? What, after all, was it that was supposed to be going on in those events themselves? Better to go, perhaps, by way of a certain kind of figurative painting. The avant-garde in film suddenly looks to a time way, way, WAY before performance art . . or else it seeks to assuage this doubt with expanded cinema. But we have arrived at an expanded cinema that is now . . in the theater itself! Bernie Richard Ashrowan Mon Sep 2 13:07:17 UTC 2013 Hello all, I am trying to put together some screenings for the Edinburgh venue Summerhall, whose autumn theme is broadly 'Performance and Space', at quite short notice. I'm looking for filmworks, moving image or expanded cinema projects that relate to that theme in some meaningful way. Of course, it's a very broad theme... I've been looking at various people associated with the London Filmaktion group (LFMC), plus works that have a strong component of performance art (those that go beyond 'documentation'). But I am also keen to find newer works in this territory, or some things from across the ocean. If anyone has any helpful suggestions, I would be glad to hear them, here or off-list.

Re: [Frameworks] Film, Performance and Space?
Richard, A number of artists have taken space (as in literal space) and performance (live performance, not acting on screen) as innate features or characteristics of cinema. Projection performance assumes that the act of exhibiting cinema is, in some sense, performative, and the resulting works are intended as cinema not as performance art. (That is, claiming a performance aspect for cinema is not the same as calling it performance art in the historical sense in which the latter term is typically used). Bruce McClure, Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder, Kerry Laitala, Sally Golding, and others are examples. And don't forget Ken Jacobs and Tony Conrad. Filmaktion, and related work by people like William Raban, Maclolm Le Grice, Takahiko Iimura, Annabel Nicolson, and Takehisa Kosugi, also fits, at least broadly. Frampton's A Lecture could be seen as a progenitor of contemporary projection performance. The same goes for space - the acknowledgement of the literal space of the theater, or in some cases the gallery, has been a hallmark of much cinematic work, including that of Paul Sharits, Anthony McCall, Lis Rhodes (LIGHT MUSIC), to name a few. Several of the above filmmakers also apply, including Gibson and Recoder and Bruce McClure. I've gone with the bigger names here. But for everyone I've mentioned there are scores of others whose work sees cinema as inherently spatial and/or performative. Hope this helps.
