[Frameworks] Call For Work
Dear Frameworkers, EXcinema in Seattle is commissioning new work by experimental filmmakers for a project that will premiere in December, 2015 at Grand Illusion Cinema, and will tour to other cinemas. The Spaces Between Cities will be a collective film incorporating randomness and chance, as well as traveling, migrating, wandering, and/or drifting on the open road. We're commissioning 16 international filmmakers to each make a 2- 5 min. film caught in the middle of a journey of their choice. The project will take the form of an exquisite corpse, and each filmmaker will be randomly given prompts to begin and end their films. All of the prompts will have matching pairs, one of the pair will end a film and the other will begin the next. What the audience will see are 16 individual films merging into one international road trip that will zig zag from place to place, but will become circular, with the last film connecting to the first. We are currently applying for funding and hope to offer some compensation for production costs. If interested contact Salise Hughes off line, and send a link to some of your work. salise.hug...@gmail.com. And if you're interested in seeing a trailer for our last collaborative feature here is a link. vimeo.com/113669191 Cheers, Salise -- Salise Hughes Artist, Filmmaker, Armchair Anthropologist http://salisehughes.blogspot.com https://vimeo.com/user1421998 https://excinemaseattle.blogspot.com http://restoresalisehughes.weebly.com/index.html ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Benning's Nightfall came to mind for me. It stands out as an example of digital video allowing filmmakers to stretch this concept to the extreme.

Hi Blanca, Maybe *Ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten *(2001) by Jonas Mekas. Twin Towers falls from Brooklyn, 9/11. A long single-shot, but not totally fixed (Hand-video shot).

Re: [Frameworks] Single-shot fixed camera landscape/cityscape films
I would definitely take a look at Chantal Akerman's News From Home (1977). A few of the shots are not static per se (e.g. from an automobile or the final shot which is from the Staten Island Ferry pulling away from Manhattan) but even in these shots there are no pans or tilts of the camera.
