[Frameworks] The Eastern Europe Screening Spaces (CONTACTS NEEDED!).
All, I'm making a research trip for a new project in September, will be driving from Finland to Greece (via *Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Ukraine-Romania-Moldova-Bulgaria*) and would love to present a live / cinema / performance program (<>) along the way. My virtual rolodex is empty and I'm in need of contacts of all sorts. To that end, this is a request for connections to any of the following: *cinemas / galleries / art spaces / communes / collectives / DIY venues / musicians / filmmakers / poets / programmers / festivals / etc* ...especially in or around any of the spots listed below. If y'all have any tips for radical castles / portals / magic mountains to see along the way, please let me know! Here's a list of places I *might *pass through from approximately 9/5-9/30: *FINLAND* > Helsinki *ESTONIA* > Tallinn *LATVIA* > Riga *LITHUANIA* > Vilnius, Kaunas *POLAND* > Bialystok, Warsaw, Lublin *UKRAINE* > Chernobyl (!), Kiev, Uman *MOLDOVA* > Chisinau *ROMANIA* > Onesti, Bran, Bucharest *BULGARIA* > Sofia, Plovdiv *GREECE* > Thessaloniki, Athens Thanks thanks thanks thanks!

[Frameworks] The Hand-Processing Chemistry Scheme.
Frameworkers, Hello hello from New Hampshire! I'm putting together a short-term darkroom set-up and wanted to make use of your hive mind to double-check my somewhat creaky hand-processing techniques, with particular regard to B/W reversal and negative chemistry. I'm planning (along with a few other humans) to process around 3,000' (1,500' of which would be reversal) of Hi-Con and Orwo UN54 and need some chemistry recommendations. Could you recommend a mix of materials for this quantity? I'm talking D-19, Rapid Fixer, Hypo, Wetting Agent, Bleach... It seems like the main options are Photographer's Formulary, which is fine by me, but I'm unclear as to how much chemistry I need for what will effectively be 30 rolls. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[Frameworks] The Palestine-Israel (Film Processing) Question.
Dearest Frameworkers, I'm headed to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories on a residency for a set of weeks and was thinking that it'd be a good idea to shoot and hand-process some B/W 16mm film while I'm there. I'm traveling via the King Hussein bridge and reckon it'll be much easier to purchase film stock and chemistry in Israel than to bring it in (or out) via Jordan, and I was wondering if any of you have had any experience sourcing chemicals and stock over there. My internet searches haven't turned up much... Please let me know what you know!

[Frameworks] The Optical Printing Job.
Dearest Frameworkers, I've got a 12:00 bit of B/W 16mm positive footage that I would like to have optically slowed down to around 20:00 using a Bezier curve (so that the speed slowly decreases to a crawl). I've got a reference video file but need to find someone who could do the job - one that would result in a 20:00 B/W negative. Can you recommend anyone or any place that could work on this with me? Thanks in advance! Yes, Ben Russell -- www.dimeshow.com ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] The Search for Ektachrome.
Dearest Frameworkers, I'm sorry to write to you with such a ridiculous question, but I just had a shady online Ektachrome purchase fall through and I'm in a bit of a pinch... I need about 400' (or more!) of 16mm Ektachrome stock for a project I'm working on and I'm wondering if any of you know where I might find some secret cellar / treasure trove of this discontinued marvel. If any of you have any leads or, better yet, have some rolls you'd like to part with (in exchange for money), please do get in touch off-list! Thanks In Advance, BR ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] The Horizontal Scratches.
Frameworkers, I just received a mess of telecine'd color super16mm footage from the lab and was more than a bit sad to see a long parade of emulsion-side horizontal blue scratches on the right 1/4th of the frame. I shot about 2.5 hours of footage with an Aaton Minima (a camera I wouldn't really recommend, either way) and the scratches are present throughout all the rolls - while they are not on every shot, when they do appear they happen just after the camera has started again. A tech suggested that it might be the film slipping in the gate at the end of a shot, making the loop too large on one side and scratching against the loop former. The place I rented the camera from says it's not their fault (and they've never seen such scratches produced by a camera in 15 years...) and the lab of course doesn't want to be responsible, so any words to the contrary would be appreciated. Have any of you run into this sad curiosity before? I'm happy to send a VIMEO link to anyone who wants to see support material.
