Re: [Frameworks] Toronto book launch for Sculpting Cinema - Nov 24 @ 3pm
Hi Michael, Pleasure Dome is self-distributing so we're working on getting it into some independent shops, but the easiest way to get it would be to order directly from them. You can email their staff person, Theresa Slater at pleasuredomemana...@gmail.com for more details. If anyone would like to suggest a brick and mortar store for us to approach, feel free to message me or Theresa directly. Thanks for your interest!

[Frameworks] Deadline Jan 15: York University Robarts Conference Transgressing the Nation-State
Deadline approaching! Submit by January 15. Call for Proposals - Transgressing the Nation-state: Challenging the Constructs of Canadian Identity As Canada approaches the 150th anniversary of Confederation, it is important to ask: how are systems of colonialism, racism, sexism, and other social and economic disparities that characterized the founding of this country still embedded in our society? The Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies welcomes exploration of these topics from multiple and competing perspectives at its annual conference on April 20th and 21st, 2017 at York University in Toronto. The conference will examine the dialogue surrounding Canadian identity by focusing on the current challenges to established forms of government, welfare policies and modes of participation in a radically changed globalized nation, where history, migration, and transnationalism play an important role. Presentations will offer an interdisciplinary analysis of opportunities provided and challenges faced in Canada’s past, present and future. Graduate students are invited to submit proposals for presentations that examine themes of inequality in Canada. The goal of this two-day conference is to provide a space for discussions of inequality in Canada broadly defined; we thus encourage students from a wide variety of disciplines to interpret this theme. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to, the legacies, experiences, or expressions of Canadians whose social locations vary on the basis of gender, sexuality, race, Indigeneity, ability, socioeconomic status, region, migration status, and difference. Papers on other related topics will also be considered. Reimbursement of some travel costs will be made available for students attending the entire conference from outside of the Greater Toronto Area. Please submit proposals (max. 250 words) for papers or panels http://yorkrobartsgraduateconference.org by January 15th, 2017. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] The Situated Cinema Project; in camera

Created by Halifax-based filmmaker Solomon Nagler with architects Thomas Evans and Jonathan Mandeville of passage studio, the structure features pilgrimage (16mm, 4 min. looped, 2015) — an experimental film created by Nagler and his artistic collaborator Alexandre Larose. >From September 10 — 20, the Situated Cinema will travel to three Toronto locations, hosted by the Toronto International Film Festival®, 8-11 Gallery and Artscape Youngplace. As it travels, the architectural structure of the cinema will intervene in the city, creating unexpected situations where chance encounters and dislocated spaces forge new relationships between the spectatorial body and the urban landscape. Inseparable from its context, the Situated Cinema Project;in-camera explores intersections of film and architecture through a rejection of conventional cinematic representation,reinventing the cinema space as temporary and mobile.

[Frameworks] Pleasure Dome summer season announced
Hi everyone, I just wanted to promote a few exciting media-art events that are being held by Pleasure Dome this summer in Toronto. More info on our website: www.pdome.org or on our social media (listed below). Cheers, Melanie Wilmink *Wednesday May 28 - Mike Kelley Videos: Early Works & Day is Done* Co-presentation with the Art Gallery of Ontario. 6 PM Early Works 8 PM Day Is Done $12, Members $10, Students $8 @ Jackman Hall, AGO, 317 Dundas Street West American artist Mike Kelley was one of the most provocative and influential figures in contemporary art. His idiosyncratic works negotiate a charged terrain of desire, dread and sociopathology in everyday life. His video projects, often created with collaborators such as Paul McCarthy, Raymond Pettibon and Tony Oursler, inhabit a peculiarly American landscape infused with irony and pop cultural debris. We are honoured to be presenting this two-part programme with the Art Gallery of Ontario in association with the exhibition Elevated: Contemporary Art in the AGO Tower. *June 1 - New Toronto Works 2014 Call for Submissions Deadline* Pleasure Dome is seeking short experimental film/video works, expanded cinema performances and media art installations by Toronto-based artists for the annual New Toronto Works Show. Works must be produced after January 2013 and be no longer than 15 minutes. To submit please send a weblink of the work, single page synopsis, and artist bio to: newtorontowo...@gmail.com For film or un-digitized analog video, please submit to: C/o Pleasure Dome 2466 Dundas Street West, Box 502 Toronto,ON M6P 1W9 or Drop off with Erik Martinson @ Vtape, 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 452 Submissions must be post-marked by June 1st. For returns, please include self-addressed envelope, or indicate other means of return. *Thursday, June 5 - Dirty Looks NYC: Three Years with Performance by Narcissister* 7:30 PM $10, $ 8 Members + Students @ Tallulah's Cabaret, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, 12 Alexander Street Dirty Looks NYC, a platform for queer experimental film and video, culls from their first three years of programming. Including artists such as Tom Rubnitz, Chris E. Vargas, Charles Atlas, Jill Reiter, Michael Robinson, Luther Price, Charles Lofton, Michael Lucid, and Narcissister, it is a program of works that have shaped or defined the Dirty Looks project and queer visual culture at large. Looking back from the edge of queer futurity, Dirty Looks NYC features queer takes on Black Power, riot grrrl, maternity, and Madonna’s “Vogue,” culminating with a live performance by Narcissister! *Friday, June 6 - Narcissister and The Mask; A Workshop* Co-presentation with VideoFag 12 — 3 PM @ VideoFag, 187 Augusta Avenue $30, limited to 15 participants. Email: pd...@bell.net to reserve. As an extension of her video screening and performance in the Dirty Looks, NYC program at Pleasure Dome, Narcissister is pleased to offer her first-ever workshop. Informed by her own practice, the workshop will investigate what it means to mask ourselves, to disguise ourselves to the point that a radical physical transformation takes place. Narcissister will initiate discussions and pose questions about what it means on personal, societal, political, and spiritual levels not only to mask ourselves, but also to de-mask ourselves. Participants are asked to bring the masks and costumes that define their alternate personae. There will be opportunities for verbal and performative expression. Participants will be photographed as their personae for an on-going photo-project. The workshop will begin with a presentation of Narcissister’s body of work. *Saturday, July 5 - A Public Conversation on Diverse Media Exhibition & Open Screening* Free 5 PM: Public Conversation 6:30 PM: BBQ 8 PM: Open Screening @ CineCycle, 129 Spadina Avenue We have recently been involved in discussions around a certain aspect of Pleasure Dome’s mission statement preamble, a piece of text which was added to our mission statement in 1993 in order to address the changing format landscapes of media art at the time. Now, 20 years later, perhaps the time has come to re-address this issue, in light of continuing changes to media art technology and practices. The preamble currently reads: Preamble #6. Pleasure Dome seeks to exhibit a balance of work from both the film and video mediums and as such, will show video up to a limit of fifty percent of our total screen time and financial resources devoted to exhibition, in each season. As such, on Saturday July 5th, 2014 at 5pm all are invited to join us at CineCycle to begin a discussion on updating the mission statement concerning a 50/50 exhibition quota of film and video. At 8 PM join us for our annual Open Screening where we invite our members and audience to present any film or video work (under 10 min.) in this non-curated screening. Bring your latest experimental work—finished or unfinished, found or stolen — to CineCycle prior to 8
Re: [Frameworks] painted film finisher
Hi Jarrett, I've used clear nail polish successfully, but it's really just a stopgap to transfer it, not a permanent solution. If you send the film off for public screenings without a print it's pretty much guaranteed that the projectionists will be extremely annoyed at a print that is gunking up their equipment. It will also be difficult to project it properly as it might make the film jump around in the gate since it's not perfectly smooth anymore. If you're just projecting it for yourself, or intending to stabilize it for a transfer, the nail polish seems to work fine though. Also if you haven't seen it already, Helen Hill's Recipes for Disaster is an excellent handmade film resource - http://www.angoleiro.com/cine_texts/recipes_for_disaster_hill.pdf. I can't seem to find an official online publication of it, but the official memorial website with more information on the author is http://www.helenhill.org.
