[Frameworks] Lesser-knowns, using video for its unique qualities

[Fred Camper]

In the discussion of that Film Comment list of new makers, I had  
posted that there are some excellent videomakers not on the lists, and  
that I would mention them in an upcoming piece on the Onion City  
festival in Chicago.

The piece is now published, and can be found online at  
http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/onion-city-experimental-film-and-video-festival/Content?oid=1984715

As you'll see, I only had space for a sentence or two on each work.

Five I mention who are in particular using video for its unique  
qualities and possibilities, rather than as a substitute for film, are  
Gregg Biermann (New Jersey), Kyle Canterbury (Chicago), Yoel Meranda  
(Istanbul), Eytan Apeker (Istanbul), and Jake Barningham (Chicago).  
The last four mostly know each others' work, and several are good  
friends of each other.

The last three have posted many of their works at http://vimeo.com/
