Re: [Frameworks] Rare Jordan Belson work in CVM UK events

[C Keefer]

Hi Scott,
In our new program, the newly restored rare Belson, the Cage films, and the Yalkut are 16mm. Belson's unfinished Quartet is from a digital file. Only the 3 Fischinger prints are 35mm. Yes, we would show these at venues with very good, responsible projection we trust (such as Colgate?).  It would be good to continue another US northeast tour next Spring. Colgate, HFA and more? Maybe Binghamton and Bard this time too. We don't have plans to rent the prints individually at this time (other than possibly the Cage for special events), only in a full CVM program.
 
I also just transferred to HD - Belson's demo reel for Kaufman and The Right Stuff, "The Astronaut's Dream."
 
best,
Cindy

*Screening rare films by Jud Yalkut in celebration of his life*

*Curated by Gregory Zinman*



"Yalkut passed away in July at the age of 75, leaving behind a corpus of
still and moving image art that entails both dislocation and re-centering,
simultaneously emphasizing formal experimentation and collectivity. In his
work, which ranged from film and expanded cinema to video and collage, he
sought to find new ways of shifting his viewers’ perceptions in order to
increase their awareness of their shared humanity."

-Gregory Zinman* *

*"A dramatic feature shot on location in Rome. Centered around the

their restlessness and personal involvments in assuming the role of woman
as hunter" --S. D. H.*
*"I, myself, belonging to the Spies for Beauty, Inc., and the humble monk
of the Order of Fools, was allowed to peek at this film, and I couldn't
believe what beauty struck my eyes, what sensuousness." --Jonas Mekas*

No, because B&W positive print film isn't made in Super-8.

Yes, that would be called an 8->16 blow-up.  A lot of labs can do that
including Cinelab and Colorlab.  It will be more expensive than a contact
print but not unbearably so.

I think what Andec has been doing has been buying 35mm print stock and
slitting and perforating it for Super-8 themselves.  So they have an
available print stock that nobody else has.

If you ask them, they might be willing to do contact prints of your B&W
original onto color print stock.  I have done this before with 35mm and
the black quality is not as good as with B&W stock, and it can be contrasty
if you aren't careful, but it might be worth trying if what you want is an
8mm projection print.
