[Frameworks] Experiments In Cinema call for submissions
Hi all - for those of you looking to submit your work to our festival in the past few days we had a wee problem with our website and some of you may not have been able to access it... All is good in the world once again and the website is accessible and ready for your submissions! see: www.experimentsincinema.org cinematically yours, Bryan Konefsky founder, director, Experiments in Cinema President Basement Films ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Experiments in Cinema fundraising DVDs and yearbooks available for your bookshelves!
Hi everyone - In addition to having our call for submissions now open at http://www.experimentsincinema.org/#!submissions/c1xio, I'd like to remind you that because our festival is run by a 100% volunteer crew, we do depend on "the kindness of strangers" to make it happen every year. To this end one of the ways that we raise funds to support the costs of producing Experiments in Cinema is by selling merchandise which can be found at http://www.experimentsincinema.org/#!shop--cart/c1op5. In particular I'd like to highlight the two yearbooks we have published (Undependently Yours: Imagining a World Beyond the Red Carpet, Experiments in She-ness: Women and Undependent Cinema) and our fundraising DVD collections (the DVD collections go back to our 4th edition when we began producing the discs). I'd like to thank all the artists and writers who have contributed their work to the texts and DVDs as it is a clear and generous expression of their support of our efforts. If any of you might teach, perhaps you would be interested in asking your institutions library if they might be willing to purchase our books/DVDs. We have already placed our materials at universities such as Emerson, Pacific University, U of Cincinatti, Northwestern, UT San Antonio, Sarah Lawrence, Bennington and in Europe at Image Movement in Berlin. Thanks for your support! cinematically yours, bryan konefsky founder/director, Experiments in Cinema ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] Basement Films is being evicted from the studio we have occupied for 20+ years - help!
Hello everyone - on the heels of another very successful Experiments in Cinema festival Basement Films has been informed by our landlord, the Harwood Art Center, that we are being evicted from our studio/archive that we have occupied for 20+ years in Albuquerque. The really crappy part is that we only have 30 days to vacate our 2000 square foot space. This studio/archive is not only where we work and create but it also housed a culturally important collection of more than 8000 16mm films (the largest collection of educational films in the southwest). Presently we are asking for an extension of time to vacate our studio AND we are also looking for someone who might be interested in a way-big tax write off. That is, we are hoping to find 2000+ square feet of space donated to our non- profit in exchange for a substantial tax deduction Additionally you should be hearing soon about a Kickstarter style campaign that we will stage to help raise funds for the move. Thanks (in advance) for your help and well wishes!

The program covers a range of forms and techniques and any suggestions will be appreciated and looked at. We are specifically looking for work made by American Indian and Indigenous peoples, not simply about. Programs will be arranged around such topics as: The Construction of Knowledge in Ethnographic Film Practices The Preservation and Conservation of Indigenous Land and Rights Contemporary Indigenous Art and Crafts Personal Narratives and Histories on the Reservation.
