[Frameworks] Presenting a film by Myron Ort

[Bernard Roddy]

Myron, a couple questions (I watched for while):

Does the direct-on-film working method have to have New York City (or any such 
urban architectural space) and the 40s associated with it?  The soundtrack, the 
use of found footage, the association with a certain kind of painting from the 
40s, all reinforce this association.

Does the presentation of the film in a website window ask us to consider it as 
something other than a film?  It now shares its placement on a computer desktop 
with a wide variety of other "new" media forms, and thus cannot ask for the 
attention one would give it in theatrical projection.  How could such work be 
modified to interact with its presentational context?

I am experimenting with presentation.  Willingly collaborating with  
the idiosyncrasies of internet digital streaming.

You can view online one of several (hand-painted) films I have made  
in the last couple of years, now streaming at my website for a  
limited time.

"New York Kino"

You might try the "Full Screen" option.
