Hi Valerie,

GreenCitizen accepts "Tape based media (VHS/cassettes, floppy disks)"
at their 2nd and Howard location in San Francisco
(http://www.greencitizen.com/electronics-recycling-san-francisco/).
I've taken a number of old computers and peripherals there in recent
years with the hope that they're able to find ethical and productive
use for the equipment or raw materials.

Eric

Re: [Frameworks] Standish Lawder & Runaway

2014-09-12 Thread Ingo Petzke

Hi Mark and Pip,
I find this only now after returning from a longer absence and would 
like to add a few lines. In fact, Standish was a bit "disorganized" as 
you can see by the fact hat he even planned to release a DVD with me on 
Red Avocado Film - to bring him to Osnabrück was my idea and done with 
my financial contribution. We even managed to shoot an interview 
documentary on the spot for inclusion on the DVD.  Trying to continue 
this co-operation long-distance and all the while to no avail was more 
than frustrating - but such is life, sometimes.  News of his passing 
away were sad but didn't come completely as a surprise. The only 
question that really matters now: is there a possibility for you to 
release a DVD of his truely essential work? I would simply LOVE to see 
it. And as for the interview film: I will probably upload it to the Red 
Avocado Film web site. In its edited version it's just a bit over 30 
minutes but probably depicts one of the last times that Standish was up 
to the task and gave insights into his life and work. May this great and 
too often overlooked filmmaker rest in peace.

Re: [Frameworks] Standish Lawder & Runaway
Thanks Mark,
That's a very nice blog post.
I met Standish a couple of years ago on his trip to Osnabruck and 
Paris and we became good friends. He stayed in my place, and he sold 
me a good print of Corridor at that time. We stayed in touch and 
planned to release a DVD of his films together, but he soon became 
disorganized in his thoughts as some dementia set in and he moved to 
California.

It was great to revisit him a little in your post.
My only criticism is that it's hard to read white text on a black 
background (Jonas would really take you to task for that). So I'm 
seeing lines everywhere in my head now.

All the best,
Pip Chodorov

Hi all -

If you're interested, I've written something about my experience 
picking up Standish Lawder's films in 2007, prompted by the arrival 
of the rest of his film elements today from his daughter (and the 
discovery of one element in particular).

I know Standish's daughter Cynthia would be happy to have his work on DVD, as 
would I.  The Academy doesn't do DVD publishing, but we've assisted and 
sometimes co-supervised a bunch of times with folks who do (Criterion, Flicker 
Alley, etc.)  I'd be happy to help with such an effort.  Ingo, is there any 
reason why you couldn't continue to do it?

Maybe we can co-produce it Ingo, it sounds like a lot of work.

[Frameworks] Other Cinema Fall 2014 Programming

2014-09-12 Thread Craig Baldwin
Hello fellow Frameworkers!
Not sure if this is the right way to do this, but we just wanted to
let all interested know that the new Other Cinema Fall calendar is
out, and has been posted online at our website. Even for the many of
you that don't live in the SF Bay Area, our new "OtherZine" issue,
also newly published and available thru the menu bar, is bound to
provide plenty of food for thought:
