Dear Frameworkers, Thank you for your responses and interest in the program! I'm very excited for the suggestions that are coming in. I am also excited to know that more curatorial work and inquiry is happening around American Indian and Indigenous filmmakers shown through the UCLA screenings and hopefully we can fill in some gaps from that program and continue the conversation around these works. I think Peter Adair is a mistake in being involved with Through Navajo Eyes. To my knowledge he grew up (for at least part of his life) on the Navajo reservation where John Adair and Sol Worth were working. Here is an NY Times article from when he past away and mentions this. http://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/30/us/peter-adair-53-director-dies-made-films-with-gay-themes.html Thank you again, Nate Cummings-Lambert -- Forwarded message -- From: Gail Silva g...@gailsilva.org Date: Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [Frameworks] American Indian and Indigenous experimental filmmakers To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com This must be a mistake.

Re: [Frameworks] Howard Guttenplan (April 6th, 1934 - February 23rd, 2015)
I spent one year (1970-71) of undergraduate studies at Sara Lawrence College. Howard was then the “film tech/equipment guy” supporting the film production program. The teacher was theatre director Wilford Leach (who directed the 1983 film version of Pirate of Penzance), a basically good man who had little interest in avant garde film. Jon Avnet was Leach’s favorite student. Howard was confidant and an oasis in an otherwise onerous scene. Howard brought good people around, Paul Sharits, Gregg Sharits, Jud Yalkut, David Rimmer, Werner Nekes and Dore O. Around this same time, with the opening of Anthology in Kubelka’s “Invisible Cinema theatre”, screening primarily the “essential cinema” repertory, the Millennium, under Howard Guttenplan, was, in NY, THE venue for the “artist present screening new work” model for exhibiting radical film. Among the most memorable screenings, upstairs on Great Jones St, I recall Hollis Frampton’s premiers of the Hapax Legomena films and numerous Magellan works; Brakhage’s premier of “Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes (and many other films); and Jack Smith performing with projector and turntable. Years later, when I directed the Video program at Anthology, Jonas elected to suspended film screenings while leaving 80 Wooster St. and moving to the courthouse. Thanks to Howard’s generous willingness to allow us to use the Millennium theater space, we kept the Video program active, moving our decks and monitors to 4th Street and featuring artists in person screenings on a weekly basis. bob h.

[Frameworks] Invitation | Nicky Hamlyn - Zoetrope | London Gallery West | Thursday 12 March |17:00 - 20:00
View this email in your browser http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=58bdb735817f902aed1211dadid=0370d15dfce= *NICKY HAMLYN* ZOETROPE 13 March - 3 May 2015 *Private View* *Thursday 12 March, 17:00 - 20:00* LGW is delighted to present* Zoetrope*, an exhibition of recent work by Nicky Hamlyn, in collaboration with guest curator Carmen Billows. Artist and filmmaker Nicky Hamlyn has been active in the British experimental film scene since the mid 1970s. He is mainly known for his precisely structured observational 16mm films and video works. *Zoetrope* features previously unseen works from the last decade of his rich artistic practice. Hamlyn's concern with medium specificity and how film and video are invariably treated as indistinct in the industrial context are important aspects in his oeuvre. Thus almost all the works on display are presented in their original format. Hamlyn explains that these recent video works share formal interests with his 16mm films but are very distinctive media in terms of their approach. Works are medium specific not only in their making for example his deliberate choice of camera for its capabilities or limitations but also in their form of presentation. *'Although continuing to use film, I have become increasingly interested in the possibilities of digital video, especially in terms of post production, as a way of constructing very small loops from shot footage, whereby I can create unstable optical effects that come alive when the viewer fixates on a small area of the image.'* (Nicky Hamlyn) Hamlyn briefly engaged in colour field painting in his formative years, an influence that can still be found in his most recent film and video works. They are studies in the changes of surface structure, materiality and patterns of movement. Hamlyn traces brief, transitional moments in time and space, usually part of our everyday environment, things which are about to vanish and may have eluded our attention. By deploying mechanisms such as time-lapse, interlaced single-frame sequences and overlapping dissolves, he explores densities and interactions of light and shadow. The play with light and translucence interacts with the gallery's distinct architectural structure: its columns and large windowpanes crucial in this strategy of juxtaposition. A see-through or inside/outside perspective is a constant element in Hamlyn¹s body of work, and in this vein he has also created a new site-specific 16mm piece for London Gallery West, back-projected on to the window facing the smoker¹s corner outside. Hamlyn's work has rarely been shown in a gallery context until now, and the exhibition offers a selective overview of work made over the last ten years. Located within the University, the show has a special significance for Hamlyn, a long-standing teacher of film and fine art. By placing the works side by side, they are entered into a dialogue, allowing an insight into his recent work as part of an ongoing conversation with a continuity of concerns. *Visitor information:* London Gallery West, The Forum, University of Westminster, Watford Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 3TP Northwick Park Station Daily 9am 5pm Admission: Free Information: 020 7911 5970 www.westminster.ac.uk/london-gallery-west *Opening Hours* 13 March - 3 May 2015, 9am - 5pm daily *Gallery Talk* Tuesday 28 April 2015, 1 2pm Nicky Hamlyn in conversation with guest curator Carmen Billows.
