sometimes just a series of shots. Anything approximatikng that will be

Re: [Frameworks] suggestions on travelogue and/or road films by women filmmakers?

[Christian Bruno]

Hello Kornelia,

While it is not about travelogues per se, I think an excellent resource for 
your work is Scott MacDonald's book The Garden in the Machine, about how 
filmmakers (as wildly varied as Babette Mangolte and Spike Lee) express place 
and landscape in their work. It is a lively, bright and broad-reaching book, 
and may help in your research. Plus it is an absolute joy to read.

And Kitch’s Last Meal, by Carolee Schneemann, (1976, 55 min.), perhaps.  Hard

Re: [Frameworks] old LA movie theater

Hello Gene


I haven't been in LA that long, but maybe it was the Vagabond?

http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/1170

http://articles.latimes.com/1985-11-28/entertainment/ca-9291_1_vagabond-theatre


Up until recently, it was called the Hayworth as a live theatre, now it's a 
comedy club. But in the 1970s, Tommy Cooper ran a rep/revival program as the 
Vagabond.


It's a guess, but could it be?

Re: [Frameworks] Christopher MacLaine

[Christian Bruno]

Hello Gene,


Along with talking to Lawrence Jordan, he should also talk to Brecht Andersch: 
he was the person who conducted the interview with Brakhage in Radical Light 
discussing Maclaine.


Brecht---along with Brian Darr---conducted a massive, multipart examination of  
Maclaine's The End for the SFMOMA's blog Open Space. 
(https://openspace.sfmoma.org/2010/09/in-search-of-christopher-maclaine-the-end-tour-1/).
 It is a totally enjoyable, exhaustive autopsy of the film as they try and 
identify the locations throughout the Bay Area, and the folks who were in it, 
triangulating fragments of data, and providing tons of fascinating historical 
context.


I know that Brecht has spoken extensively with many people who knew Maclaine 
personally, including about his poetry. Your friend should most definitely 
reach out to him.


I can provide his email address off list.


best

Christian Bruno

Re: [Frameworks] James Bidgood, Pink Narcissus

[Christian Bruno]

Ara, Bruce Benderson assembled a pretty amazing book of Joe Bidgood's work, 
centered chiefly around Pink Narcissus. It is a fabulous read, both about his 
life and about his film and photo techniques. Extremely lavish, it is very much 
a Taschen coffee table book, but it can often be found on remainders tables at 
bookstores. I found it inspiring in some of my own 
filmmaking.http://www.amazon.com/Bidgood-Taschens-Anniversary-Special-Edition/dp/3836514524

Also, there was a made-for German TV doc about him, The Queer Reveries of James 
Bidgood, but I don't know anyone who's seen it.
My understanding is that Mr Bidgood is still around, presumably Manhattan. Hmm, 
maybe the phone book? Always worth a look. You could probably get in touch with 
Benderson through Taschen. Strand Releasing for some time has distributed Pink 
Narcissus, maybe contact them.
