 In the late nineties I programmed regular screenings at the Hull Film Theatre 
(Yorkshire England) while teaching at the art school there. I showed a 
compilation of new American films (from the coop) including Sodom. This was a 
public event and the cinema was run by the city council and they were not 
asking to see uncertificated films since the debacle of banning Genet’s Chant 
d’Amour. Sodom came on last before the interval and the ice-cream seller was 
making her way in at the moment of the auto-fellatio (Busby Berkley style) was 
on the screen. I was a little worried that there would be complaints.  The 
ice-cream woman spoke to me and said “Oo I’ve not seen anything like that 
before”
It was all ok.

[Frameworks] Werner Nekes

2016-10-30 Thread Michael Kemp
In 1965 director Werner Nekes made his first film, "Tom Doyle und Eva Hesse", 
portraying the two artists from NYC during their one year stay in 
Kettwig/Germany. 
There is an 8min version floating around on the www, which was also released on 
DVD (and is sold by Nekes for merely 30.00€). 
However, the duration of the original (silent 8mm) film was 30 minutes. 
If anyone out there has any hints on the full version, if it was screened 
somewhere, taped, ripped or if it even still exists, please message me...

Center for Visual Music is pleased to announce two very special Oskar 
Fischinger events on June 1 at Tate Modern, London.

It's the opening day of Oskar Fischinger's Raumlichtkunst, a new HD three 
screen re-creation by CVM of his 1920s multiple projector cinema performances, 
from newly restored 35mm nitrate film. We have an upstairs room at Tate Modern 
(our own room). The installation runs for a number of months, if you're not 
able to make it that day.

Then at 7pm in Starr Auditorium (June 1), CVM and Tate Film present Optical 
Poetry: Oskar Fischinger Retrospective, featuring 35mm preserved prints of his 
visual music classics. New prints of Spirals, An American March, and more. I'll 
introduce the program.
www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/film/optical-poetry-oskar-fischinger-retrospective

More about Raumlichtkunst:
www.centerforvisualmusic.org/Raumlichtkunst.html

Raumlichtkunst opens at The Whitney Museum, New York on June 28, through Oct. 
28.

The Raumlichtkunst film restoration by Center for Visual Music was supported by 
an Avant-Garde Masters Grant, funded by The Film Foundation, administered by 
The National Film Preservation Foundation

[Frameworks] "Some Call It Loving" (1973) production still

2012-02-27 Thread Michael Kemp
 Somewhere round 1973 or just before "Sight & Sound" magazine (UK) published an 
issue with a b&w performance still from James B Harris's film "Some Call It 
Loving".  It was of Carol White (as Scarlet) in her nun's costume, but sitting 
down between takes & demurely drinking a cup of tea. This image doesn't appear 
in the final film. Does anyone still have a copy of that particular issue of "S 
& S" and would be willing to scan that elusive image for me?
