I know Standish's daughter Cynthia would be happy to have his work on DVD, as
would I. The Academy doesn't do DVD publishing, but we've assisted and
sometimes co-supervised a bunch of times with folks who do (Criterion, Flicker
Alley, etc.) I'd be happy to help with such an effort. Ingo, is there any
reason why you couldn't continue to do it?

Hi Mark and Pip,
I find this only now after returning from a longer absence and would like to
add a few lines. In fact, Standish was a bit disorganized as you can see by
the fact hat he even planned to release a DVD with me on Red Avocado Film -
to bring him to Osnabrück was my idea and done with my financial
contribution. We even managed to shoot an interview documentary on the spot
for inclusion on the DVD. Trying to continue this co-operation long-distance
and all the while to no avail was more than frustrating - but such is life,
sometimes. News of his passing away were sad but didn't come completely as a
surprise. The only question that really matters now: is there a possibility
for you to release a DVD of his truely essential work? I would simply LOVE to
see it. And as for the interview film: I will probably upload it to the Red
Avocado Film web site. In its edited version it's just a bit over 30 minutes
but probably depicts one of the last times that Standish was up to the task
and gave insights into his life and work. May this great and too often
overlooked filmmaker rest in peace.

Thanks Mark,
That's a very nice blog post.
I met Standish a couple of years ago on his trip to Osnabruck and Paris and
we became good friends. He stayed in my place, and he sold me a good print
of Corridor at that time. We stayed in touch and planned to release a DVD of
his films together, but he soon became disorganized in his thoughts as some
dementia set in and he moved to California.
It was great to revisit him a little in your post.
My only criticism is that it's hard to read white text on a black
background (Jonas would really take you to task for that). So I'm seeing
lines everywhere in my head now.
All the best,
Pip Chodorov

Hi all -
If you're interested, I've written something about my experience picking up
Standish Lawder's films in 2007, prompted by the arrival of the rest of his
film elements today from his daughter (and the discovery of one element in
particular).
