Re: [Frameworks] Seeking Grant Writer for Documentary Short
Hi ken, I have a lot of experience writing grants. Most recently I wrote a grant for the New York Council on the Arts to create a 16mm silhouette film about the anti-rent "Indians" in upstate New York. I've also written successful grants for the Chicago International Film Festival and other non-film related non-profits. Can I ask if you are able to offer any pay for this project? I've lost a lot of income from the current situation and I could really use some extra income in this crisis. Let me know if you'd like to discuss. Hope you're well in these trying times.

Re: [Frameworks] super8: braun nizo only shoots reverse
That "R" button is for making lap dissolves. If you press it once, the camera will run for 120 frames (i think) then rewind. To get it to run again you need to hold the "r" button again while filming and once you've gone past the previously exposed length of film, it should return to normal functioning. That's if there's not some other problem with the camera.

[Frameworks] {Disarmed} Canyon Cinema/Society for Cinema and Media Studies
Just passing along news of this initiative from SCMS to help out the great Canyon Cinema. " The Society for Cinema and Media Studies is proud to announce that it is providing financial and institutional support to Canyon Cinema Foundation, the San Francisco-based film organization that, since the early 1960s, has been and continues to be an essential source for the preservation and dissemination of independent, experimental cinema. In recent years, Canyon has faced significant financial difficulties due to the rapid decline of the production and exhibition of works on 16mm film, even though hundreds of key works by major independent filmmakers made available by Canyon are still only available in that format. The SCMS mission statement includes as one of its goals “to promote the preservation of our film, television, and media heritage.” We view our official support of Canyon as a demonstration of that mission. We especially wish to support Canyon’s ongoing effort to maintain its invaluable archive and access services as it works towards establishing non-profit status. SCMS also encourages institutions to support Canyon by contributing $1000 to the Canyon Cinema Foundation or by holding benefit screenings for a contribution of $1250. Individuals are welcome to contribute smaller amounts. You can donate directly here: http://canyoncinema.com/about/donate <http://www.cmstudies.org/link.asp?e=h...@st-andrews.ac.uk&job=1411766&ymlink=2465532&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcanyoncinema%2Ecom%2Fabout%2Fdonate>.

[Frameworks] Experimental Cinema Flip Book
Hi Frameworkers! I've got what I suspect is a kinda obscure question. I've been doing some research in the paper archives of The Film-Makers' Co-op in New York. Looking through early issues of the Co-op's newsletters, I discovered, in 1968's vol.1 no.3, a 'flip book'-style animation embedded in the lower right side in the issue's recto pages. I've made a rough animation viewable on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/100826180 . <https://vimeo.com/100826180> The issue, however, doesn't give any credit to the animation's creator. I'm trying to identify to whom it might be attributable. Any ideas? Are the images perhaps drawn from a film anyone is familiar with? I know Charles I. Levine and Lenny Lipton were contributing quite a lot to the publication at this point; could either of them be the author? And while we're at it, a more general question: are there other filmmakers that have worked with flip books? There's the Mutoscope and in terms of more experimental artists I can think of Douglass Crockwell, but are there others?

Re: [Frameworks] animals and human-animal relationships on film
*Electrocuting an Elephant* (1903). In which Thomas Edison, one of the first and truly an experimental filmmaker, does just that to the poor creature to demonstrate the superiority of his DC electrical current to his competitor, Nikola Tesla's, AC. Surely one of the stranger and sadder cases of animals being caught up in inter-human behaviors. There is also the incredibly strange and apocalyptic bug movie from 1971, *The Hellstrom Chronicle *(Walon Green), which I can't believe won an academy award for best documentary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R8UN9zGD04 Oh, and what about Ladislaw Starewicz's *Cameraman's Revenge *(1912)?

[Frameworks] Films about painting as action/gesture
Hey Herb, Paul Sietsema's *Anticultural Positions* (2009) is an interesting film in this context. It consists almost entirely of abstract images of paint and varnish on the surfaces of the artist's (he's also a painter) studio. Also, the sound track contains excepts from a lecture on painting by the artist Jean Debuffet.

Re: [Frameworks] Turner and Film
Hi Aaron, I would look at Patrick Keiller's "Robinson" films. Each film, *London *(1994), *Robinson in Space *(1997) and *Robinson in Ruins, *makes specific reference to Turner and are clearly interested in engaging with Turner's legacy in the representation of British landscapes. In *Robinson in Space, *there is even a visit to the Maidenhead Bridge, which the locale featured in Turner's *Rain, Steam and Speed* (1844). Maybe none of this is news to you, given Keiller's history of collaboration with Tate? Also, I know that in one of the interviews with Brakhage included in his Criterion anthologies, Brakhage cite's Turner as an influence. I can't remember in what context, but I have a feeling it relates to Turner's fascination with light and atmospheric phenomena. Sorry not to be more specific; I don't have the interview at hand.

Re: [Frameworks] Literature and experimental film
I neglected to mention any British filmmakers in my first response. There's Derek Jarman's poetry in *The Garden*. Jarman's cottage, which appears in the film, is decorated John Donne's "The Sun Rising," though I can't remember if this is legible in the film. Also, you might want to consider some of English writer Iain Sinclairs's collaborations with various British experimental filmmakers such as Chris Petit, Emily Richardson, and Andrew Kotting. Also, William Raban's *Thames Film* is loosely structured around excepts from T.S. Eliot's *Four Quartets. * I'm really enjoying this thread!

Re: [Frameworks] Literature and experimental film
I'd look at Sitney's *Eyes Upside Down*; it's a fascinating look at the American cinematic avant-garde in relation to the literary legacy of Emerson. I'm sure Scott MacDonald's work would be really helpful here too. As far as specific films go, from the top of my head I would list Mekas' *Walden *(Thoreau), Brakhage's *Dante Quartet *(*Divine Comedy*), and Marjorie Keller's *The Answering Furrow* (Virgil's *Georgics)*. Something else that might be worth considering is the relationship between David Foster Wallace and experimental film, though this is really a case of literature partly inspired by experimental film rather than the other way around. I'm currently working on a project tracing I*nfinite Jest*'s relationship to the avant-garde film tradition and I'd be happy to share some details off list. This is a great topic and I'm eager to see what others suggest!

Re: [Frameworks] (no subject)
HI Tony, Thanks for letting me know about "Film Electrocutions." Do you think the image you finally achieved was a result of the luminosity of the electrical arc? Or do you think the electricity might have chemically or physically effected the emulsion in other ways as well? Are your "Electrocution" films in distribution anywhere? I checked with Canyon Cinema and it looks like they don't have them.

[Frameworks] "The Toxic Camera" query
Dear Frameworkers, I'm a doctoral candidate working on contemporary British artists' cinema. At the moment I'm doing some research on Jane and Louise Wilson's "The Toxic Camera," an installation which, in part, commemorates the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. The installation is framed as a response to Vladimir Shevchenko's film, "Chernobyl: A Chronicle of Difficult Weeks". Filmed in the immediate aftermath of the accident, Shevchenko's film was damaged by the ambient radiation--leaving the film's emulsion visibly pockmarked by the collision with decaying atomic particles. At various points, the Wilson's digital video seems to simulate the material damage in the Shevchenko film--sometimes literally mimicking a pocked marked emulsion, other times apparently "translating" this analogue damage into other digital distortions in the image. My question: does anyone know how these digital effects were technically achieved? Obviously, there are all kinds of digital filters that emulate a "film look," but I would like to know exactly what the Wilson's process was in production of their video's effects. Perhaps someone has their contact information? A secondary question: Can anyone point me to any other films in which the emulsion registers non-light electromagnetic energy, that is, radiation outside the visible spectrum. I can think of certain films that intentionally make use x-ray photography, but I'd be interested in other examples, especially in accidental instances.
