Re: [Frameworks] spools, reels and rolls

[Christopher Ball]

I have always referred to rolls as the camera original, 1000' rolls go into
the camera.  Reels are the film for projection, so a feature is 5 x 2000'
reels.  It probably is that way because the physical device you put the
film for projection on is a reel, and you never load the film into a camera
on a "reel", it is either on a daylight spool, or just a wound up roll on a
core.

It doesn't have to do with measurement or length.

Spools are specific devices for loading film into smaller cameras (usually
daylight loading spools when you can't load in a darkroom).  If the film
does not come on a spool it is a roll.

There are no spools in projection, it is all on reels, though sometimes
people do say "unspooling the film" when it is being projected...there's
some confusion.

[Frameworks] Long shot: Looking for Canon Scoopic 16m (Mike Stoltz)

[Dana Duff]

Hi Mike, I have a beloved Scoopic of that type you could borrow in a 
pinch since we live so close to each other. But doesn't Echo Park Film 
Center still have a couple of good ones? Renting theirs is what led me 
to buy my own. xo Dana

[Robert Withers]

Hi Mike,
I believe DuAll Camera in NYC may sell these since they have serviced my 
earlier model and have asked to buy it from me.
Good luck,
Robert

[Frameworks] Tonight 7:30pm, Magda Fernandez, solo screening (online) Microscope Gallery Event Series

[LBurchill]

Tonight starting at 7:30pm you can watch a solo screening of works by
Boston-based artist Magda Fernanadez.
 microscopegallery.com/magda-fernandez-through-immigrant-ey

es/

The program includes a selection of 13 short videos made by Fernandez
between 2006 and 2020 offering a comprehensive look into her videography.
In these works, often conceptual and resting on her reflections on her own
identity as a Cuban-American, the artist performs in various disguises and
roles against moving-image backdrops of original or found footage.

The screening is preceded by a pre-recorded intro by Microscope's
co-directors and a Q&A with the artist will follow at 8:45pm via live chat.
The program will remain available for viewing until Thursday 7:30pmPT.

More info & full program here are also at link above!

*Magda Fernandez* is a Cuban-born, Boston-based artist who has been making
experimental videos since 2006. Fernandez creates silent, mostly diaristic
videos that question power and oppression, reality and fantasy, and memory
and history. Fernandez’s videos received the Los Angeles Experimental
Forum’s Best Experimental Short Award and Audience Award (2018),
Venezuela’s 5 Continents International Film Festival’s Best Video Art Award
(June 2018), the International New York Film Festival’s Silver Experimental
Award (2018), the London Independent Film Awards’ Best Experimental
(October 2017), and additional Honorable Mentions in the LA Underground
Film Forum (2018) and the Experimental Forum (2018). Fernandez’s videos
also were a Semi-Finalist in FilmArte Madrid (2019), and Official
Selections in the London Experimental Film Festival (2020), Chile’s
Santiago Independent Film Awards (August 2019), the Dumbo Film Festival
(March 2019), the Queens World Film Festival (2019), the South Film and
Arts Academy Festival in Chile (2018), and the Sydney World Film Festival
(2017). Her videos have been exhibited at the Mills Gallery at the Boston
Center for the Arts, in “Nine Moments for Now” at the Ethelbert Cooper
Gallery of African and African American Art at Harvard University, in
“STAND UP” at Kayafas Gallery, in “latinx@americanaza” at Samson Gallery,
and in “La Cubana y El Cubano” at the Copley Society. In 2010, Fernandez
was invited to present her videos-in-progress at Ute Meta Bauer and Joan
Jonas’ Art, Culture, and Technology Lectures Series: “The Theatrical/The
Performative/The Transformative” at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. For her past artwork, Fernandez has received grants from the
Council for the Arts at MIT, and was a finalist for both the Cintas
Foundation Fellowship and Creative Capital Visual Arts Grant.
