I prefer to read the printed material. Actually, even that's kind of hard
given my options.

If you’re really bored staying at home, Erika Balsom and I discuss my book at 
Light Industry (not really “at” Light Industry - remotely, but on the LI 
website).

Very big thanks to Ed Halter and Thomas Beard (and Erika!) for making this

[Bernard Roddy]

Jonathan Walley and friends:

Congratulations, Jonathan. I tried to take a look but only came up with the
introduction on Amazon. A few months ago I ordered Poor Man's Expression:
Technology, Experimental Film, Conceptual Art, a catalogue for a 2006
Berlin exhibition. I am not sure why the book had that title (other than
maybe simply to mimic an exhibition title).

The summer edition of Art Journal has taken up digital and game imagery in
contemporary practice (Phil Solomon and Harun Farocki are featured). I
would be more inclined to think about Broodthaers as a filmmaker. Credits
for images include a few to Sony Interactive Entertainment and Rockstar
Games.

There's even "a manifesto for environmental game design" that includes a
section title "Building Better Game Worlds."

Dear Frameworkers,

I am pleased to announce the publication of my book, Cinema Expanded: 
Avant-Garde Film in the Age of Intermedia, from Oxford University Press:

https://global.oup.com/academic/product/cinema-expanded-9780190938642?lang=en&cc=us
 


This very long book benefited substantially from discussions and debates on 
this very forum over many years, as well as from information, ideas, materials, 
time, and energy from many of this lists members. It makes a very 
“cine-centric” argument about expanded cinema, placing it primarily in the

I’m not fishing for compliments or congratulations (nor complaints), just 
passing along information to any interested parties. I highly recommend the 
e-book version, in which the images (over 270 of them) are reproduced in color 
(they are BW in print) and enlargeable. 

I’m especially excited that this book has been released in the same year as the 
50th anniversary edition of Gene Youngblood’s Expanded Cinema. While my account 
differs from Gene’s, it is certainly in dialogue with that landmark book.

I beg your forgiveness for this brief eruption of self-aggrandizement.

[Frameworks] book club

[Gene Youngblood]

Frameworkers, some of this is redundant, but not all:

The Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco is hosting an online 
book club reading of the 50th Anniversary Edition of Expanded Cinema, published 
in March by Fordham University Press.

Readings began Sunday, April 5, and will continue every Sunday through May 17. 
We’re using the book as a springboard to topics that range far beyond its pages.

 Sign up for the book club: 
https://grayarea.org/event/expanded-cinema-book-club-with-gene-youngblood/ 

The readings archive is here: 
https://grayarea.org/event/expanded-cinema-book-club-with-gene-youngblood/  
Immediately below it on the same page is my keynote lecture at the 2016 Gray 
Area Festival. Lots of slides, some animated.

On March 19, Rhizome in NYC hosted an online book launch celebration that 
included clips from Bryan Konefsky's documentary about me and a conversation 
with Rhizome’s director Michael Connor. It’s on Fordham’s home page: 
https://www.fordhampress.com/

 About Gray Area: https://grayarea.org/about/mission/  

 Purchase Expanded Cinema:

 Thanks, and take care…

Hi Frameworks,
Does anyone have a template for optioning a book for a screenplay? I'm
looking for basic contract, low-budget project, and only for screenplay -
not nec. for making the film. Just for writing the screenplay.
Any leads or links?
Thanks!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -
Alternative Projections: Experimental Film in Los Angeles, 1945-1980 is a
ground-breaking anthology of texts and images concerning cinema in Los
Angeles in the post-World War II era.
 
The growing recognition that Los Angeles has been the among the most
important centers for avant-garde, experimental, and minority filmmaking has
provided the ground for a number of recent historiographical, curatorial,
and institutional initiatives. Chief among these was an extended
collaborative project undertaken by Los Angeles Filmforum, an independent
screening organization that has existed continuously since 1975, together
with the Getty Foundation¹s Pacific Standard Time: Art in Los Angeles
1945-1980, and the University of Southern California¹s School of Cinematic
Arts and its Arts and Humanities Initiative, ³Visions and Voices.² The first
result of an initial research project was a three-day symposium featuring
scholarly presentations, screenings, and discussions with filmmakers held at
USC in November 2010, followed the next year by a screening series of some
three hundred films and videos, many of them newly discovered and/or
restored by the Academy Film Archive.. Concurrently Filmforum undertook an
archival research project consisting of nearly forty videotaped and
transcribed oral histories conducted with filmmakers, while developing a
database with extensive records of independent films, filmmakers, and
screenings in Los Angeles .
 
Alternative Projections includes reprints of rare historical documents by
and about experimental filmmakers in the region, the conference papers
together with specifically commissioned essays, an account of the screening
series, and other photographs and ephemera. With contributions from
scholars, graduate students, archivists, curators, and filmmakers from three
continents, the resulting diverse and multi-voiced collection radically
extends film historiography. It is of great importance, not simply for its
relevance to Los Angeles, but also for its general discoveries and
projections about alternative cinemas.
