Hi Chris,

 Hi all,

 I'm looking for films that portray situations of labor and leisure

 but I'm also seeking out writings on/that reference this dynamic within the

 essays on cinema as spaces of leisure as well. Obviously Sharon Lockhart's

 find anything through a search of the archive.

 Thanks!

[Frameworks] Sunday August 5th - MisALT Presents Black Thorns in the Black Box

[T. Siddle]

The MisALT Screening Series is excited to present Black Thorns in the
Black Box a touring screening of experimental film and video by eleven
contemporary artists whose work resonates with the heavy, dark, and
mystic obscurity of Black Metal music. Originally coinciding with the
Chicago gallery exhibition Black Thorns in the White Cube— previously
on view March 16 through April 14 at Western Exhibitions.
(http://westernexhibitions.com/current/2012/2a_Black_Thorns/), the
program has been screened at the Nightingale in Chicago, FOKL in
Kansas City, Brooklyn's Spectacle Theater, and most recently at the
Hammer Museum in LA.

Based throughout Northern America and Europe, the participating
artists include Annie Feldmeier Adams for Locrian (Chicago), Gast
Bouschet  Nadine Hilbert (Brussels, Belgium), Una Hamilton Helle
(London, England), Devin Horan (Brooklyn), Hunter Hunt-Hendrix
(Brooklyn), Ruth Jarman  Joe Gerhardt of Semiconductor (Brighton,
England), Chris Kennedy (Toronto, Canada), Marianna Milhorat
(Chicago), Jimmy Joe Roche (Baltimore), Shazzula for Cultus Sabbati
(Brussels, Belgium), and Michaël Sellam (Paris, France). This
screening of Black Thorns in the Black Box is organized into three
parts—the underground, the earth, and the heavens—according to the
three branches of Medieval concepts of music—musica mundana, musica
humana, and musica instrumentalis—to explore how Black Metal has
permeated all known spheres of creation.

Curated by Amelia Ishmael  Bryan Wendorf

[Frameworks] FRIDAY! MisALT Presents: Conversations with the Mirror

[T. Siddle]

The MisALT screening series is excited to present Conversations With
The Mirror: Contemporary Autonarrative and Reflections of the Self, an
evening of experimental memoirs, autobiographies and auto-fictions.
The program consists of work by 8 dynamic film and video-makers
ranging from sci-fi memoirs, revisionist diaries, semi-fictional
documentary, dubious life-stories, and brutally honest self-portraits.
Featuring work by Bryan Konefsky, Fiona Trigg, Ron Toole, Julie
Perini, Carl Elsaesser, Nadia Jassim, Marissa Perel, and Yasi
Ghanbari. Curated by Tessa Siddle.

8:00PM Friday April 20th, 2012.
at Artist Television Access
992 Valencia St
San Francisco, CA
$6.00

Featuring:
“There is a Wind That Blew” (Carl Elsaesser, USA, 2011)
Two parents insert themselves into their son's diary and assume several roles
until the diary realizes their presence. As the passages fall apart
and the son violently
tries to get rid of his parents, a film crew appears-framing
specifics-searching for
concrete answers to an echoing repression. There is Wind That Blew
explores the fluid
relationship between repression, documentary film making, narrative
representation,
family history and agency.

“Black Swans at Night” (Fiona Trigg, Australia, 2011)
A reflection on employment anxieties, love, sex, guilt, and the films
of Paul Schrader.

“Vancouver” (Bryan Konefsky, USA, 2008)
A five part diary inspired by a recent trip to Vancouver, British
Columbia where, at the border a Canadian Customs Officer accuses the
filmmaker of smuggling pornography into their country.  Ultimately
this work is a meditation on paranoia, false perceptions, misguided
judgments and a particular brand of “profiling.”

“Girl Next Door” (Julie Perini, USA, 2010)
An experimental documentary about a cluster of apartment dwellers in
Perini’s North Portland
neighborhood that combines factual and fictional information to create
a portrait of a micro-community.

“Where Once Was When” (Ron Toole, USA, 2011)
A man travels to a distant planet where his memory is used to populate
the new land with soul. A voiced narrative counters a textual one;
each presents a unique point of view. As his memory drains he wrestles
with these points of view. He feels responsible of the other people in
his memory who have no say in their captured role, but also excited by
the prospect of seeding a new planet. Incorporating optical print
techniques to visually relate memory, and using the last few rolls of
kodachrome to shoot the distant planet, Toole’s film displays a strong
subtext about the creation of avant garde film and its continuation.

“Bee Test” (Nadia Jassim, USA, 2009)
“Andi” (Nadia Jassim, USA, 2010)
Bee Test and Andi explore the malleability of memory reconstruction
through prophecy, insect life and aviation. Jassim's hallucinatory and
visceral video diptych reflects on the fluid states of dream,
fabrication, gender and authorship in order to create a conceptual
landscape for these elements to coexist.

“Father Figure” (Yasi Ghanbari  Marissa Perel, USA, 2010)
Dentistry, aerobics, and George Michael form the backdrop for a
meditation on tensions in the father-daughter relationship.

Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection

[T. Siddle]

Hi Doug,
They do make paint for projection but it's pretty expensive ($179 per
gallon on the low end and nearly $300 a gallon on the high end).
Screen Goo (which sells kits) and Paint on Screen are two companies that
make projector screen paint, I've no direct experience with either product
(which ranges in color from white, grey, and silver) but you should be able
to get test swatches from either company.

Best,
Tessa

 Hello,

 Would anyone recommend a special wall paint for film and video projection?
  Is there a special paint that's noticeably better than regular interior

[Frameworks] New Calls For Entry For MisALT Spring 2012

[T. Siddle]

The MisALT Screening Series is excited to go into 2012 with three new calls
for entries for the new year. We’re looking forward to an exciting year of
experimental, avant-garde, and underground film, video, and media art
including shows by guest curators and hopefully some special screenings of
feature length projects.

 Our new calls for entry include:


*Conversations with the Mirror: Contemporary Autonarrative and Reflections
on the Self*
Deadline: February 29th, 2012
Screening: Late-March, 2012

 Film and video artists have regularly turned their cameras upon themselves
presenting their lives and bodies to the public gaze. From early trance
films through decades of memoirs, self-portraits, performance video, and
personal essays – self-exposure, confession, and self-mythology have been
pervasive in avant-garde and experimental time-based practices. For this
screening, the MisALT Screening Series is interested in projects that draw
from these traditions and experiment with notions of auto-biography and
auto-fiction . We are looking for self-reflexive work that dangerously
walks the line between revealing deep personal secrets and telling
exquisite lies – between revealing hidden truths and providing false
confession.


*Experiments with Science:*
Deadline: March 15th, 2012
Screening: Mid-May, 2012

 Science and art are often consigned to separate social spheres, and the
intersection of science with cinema frequently evokes memories of classroom
films and epic television nature documentaries. While these forms can be
informative and at times spectacular they tend to prioritize goals of
education and entertainment over aesthetic experimentation and critical
engagement. For this screening, the MisALT Screening Series is interested
in presenting experimental films and videos that take their inspiration
from Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy, and Mathematics and brings
them out of the sphere of edutainment to make bold and original artistic
statements that push the boundaries of scientific cinema.

* Vulgar Politics:*
Deadline: May1st, 2012
Screening: Mid-June, 2012

 Electoral politics frequently brings out the worst tendencies of American
culture.  Politicians and their proxies intersect with 24-hour news media
to create an unending spectacle of antagonism, pandering, and barely-coded
appeals to the prejudices that permeate through much of the United States.
In recognition of this year’s American presidential elections, the MisALT
Screening Series is soliciting submissions of experimental, avant-garde,
and underground films and videos that engage with political culture in all
its vitriol and absurdity. We are interested in work that critiques current
political media and challenges the status quo to make the proposition that
a better politics is possible.

 We are primarily interested in short to mid-length works (0-45minutes) but
will consider work of longer durations and we are currently capable of
exhibiting pieces on DVD, VHS, Super-8mm, 8mm, 16mm, or as digital files.


To submit to any of these screenings please fill out the submission form
(available at
http://www.othervixen.com/misaltsub.html) and either send it along
with a preview DVD, artist statement, and project description to:
MisALT Screening Series
