[Frameworks] Howard Guttenplan (April 6th, 1934 - February 23rd, 2015)
Just this afternoon, I received the shocking and sad news that Howard Guttenplan, the long term director of the Millennium Film Workshop passed away February 23, 2015. He was laid to rest at Calverton National Cemetery in Long Island. Howard was a complicated person. Keeping an organization like Millennium going for so long was a solitary and difficult task. The funeral home director told me that he felt that Howard wanted to go out alone, only accompanied by a close childhood friend. That is so much the way that Howard was. When I was running the Millennium and working on the gargantuan task of sorting old materials, the complete history of Howard's tenure came before my eyes. Virtually every experimental filmmaker of note came through the doors. It is no accident that Stan Brakhage's New York premieres were at Millennium, or that Jack Smith spent countless hours watching film and editing with scotch tape. Countless filmmakers were loyal to Howard. Despite the struggles that I had with him reforming the Millennium, he gave me a full set of the Journal as a token of appreciation. He gave me my first solo show. Even when he at his most pissed off at me, he always complimented my work. There was something very unique and special because of what Howard did and who he was. Millennium is still thriving. And from me personally, Howard's New York Diary changed me as a filmmaker. I hope that his film and photographic work will be preserved and archived. Requiescat in pace. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] Beryl Sokoloff/Hy Hirsh - Free Program at UCLA TOMORROW
*Apologies for not including this in the weekly listings.* *The Second Quarterly Spotlight on the Avant-Garde:* *Beryl Sokoloff and Hy Hirsh* Thursday, March 5th at 7:30 PM at The James Bridges Theater Admission is FREE! For more information and to RSVP, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beryl-sokoloff-and-hy-hirsh-tickets-15899286193 This program is a celebration of the late artist Beryl Sokoloff, whose work has been obscure for many years. Now experiencing a revival, Melnitz Movies hopes to contribute to the deserved attention brought upon this artist, whose filmic observations allow one to inhabit his gaze and gait, to experience his remarkable transformative vision. Moving deeper into abstraction, we will also present three films by Hy Hirsh, an influential visual music artist, close friends and one time roommate of Sokoloff. Brought together again in this program, these two filmmakers inject rhythm into their observed processes, and in visualizing their classical, jazz and experimental scores (including Miles Davis and John Cage) they exhibit a fascination with other arts, where the process becomes the work itself. *Les Girls *- Beryl Sokoloff, 8 mins, Print from Anthology Film Archives, preserved by Silver Bow Art with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation. *Mural* - Beryl Sokoloff 9 mins, Print from Anthology Film Archives *Ruben’s Nightmare* - Beryl Sokoloff, 14 mins, Print from Anthology Film Archives *Scratch Pad* - Hy Hirsh, 9mins, Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive from the iotaCenter collection *Autumn Spectrum *- Hy Hirsh, 7 mins, Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive from the iotaCenter collection *Horror Dream* - Hy Hirsh and Sidney Peterson, 10 mins, Print courtesy of Canyon Cinema (Total running time: 70 mins, 16mm) *With special thanks to The Creative Film Society, who graciously allowed Melnitz Movies to screen Scratch Pad and Autumn Spectrum and to Crista Grauer for Beryl Sokoloff's prints.* ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Howard Guttenplan (April 6th, 1934 - February 23rd, 2015)
Truly a sad day for the field. Howard was a great programmer and it seemed to me he always tried not to be called a curator. He gave me my first solo show in the early 80's and has been one of the few supporters of my work throughout these years. I am truly sorry to hear this.

[Frameworks] American Indian and Indigenous experimental filmmakers
Dear Frameworkers, A small group of students and alumni are programing an American Indian and Indigenous film screening series at CalArts for the end of the month. This will be a week long event from March 30th to April 3rd. I'm reaching out to all of you for suggestions as we finalize our programming in the next coming weeks. The program covers a range of forms and techniques and any suggestions will be appreciated and looked at. We are specifically looking for work made by American Indian and Indigenous peoples, not simply about. Programs will be arranged around such topics as: The Construction of Knowledge in Ethnographic Film Practices The Preservation and Conservation of Indigenous Land and Rights Contemporary Indigenous Art and Crafts Personal Narratives and Histories on the Reservation. As the event draws closer I'll send out the program details for those interested in the Southern California and Los Angeles area. Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Re: [Frameworks] American Indian and Indigenous experimental filmmakers
The UCLA Film Television Archive just had a three month series that was basically what you are looking at doing. I suggest you look at that program and see if any interests you, as it was pretty thorough (although I¹m sure not complete, it¹s hard to imagine anyone doing more than this). You could then ask them where prints came from. One great show had several short doc experimental works made by Navajo in the 196s, for example. https://www.cinema.ucla.edu/events/2014/11/15/through-indian-eyes-native-ame rican-cinema Please do send the program details when you have them, and I can include them on the Filmforum list.
