[Frameworks] Richmond Virginia Screening Venues, Experimental Imagemakers and Organizations

[Beebe, Roger]

You should talk to James Parrish with the Richmond Moving Image Coop/James River Film Festival.  He's got a hand in pretty much all the film stuff that's going on there:

<james at jamesriverfilm.org>

You could also contact Sasha Waters at VCU, but since she's just arrived, she may not have a sense of the scene yet.

Best,
Roger

> Hi frameworks,
> As some of you may know I've been setting up a HD 8mm telecine service this month at Gauge Film. We're waiting for the unit to arrive so we can set it all up and do some tests before offering a service. I just wondered if any of you have any advice on cleaning film before putting it through my telecine machine. 
> Firstly, will film that has just been processed need to be cleaned or can it be put straight through? 
> Secondly what's the best way to physically go about cleaning it? I have heard some people use the lomo tanks to clean film, others us the reels on a projector and some kind of cloth, wiping it as it goes past. Any info at all would be great (I haven't a clue on film cleaning). This is going to be an affordable service so trying to keep costs down is a priority. We need to strike a good balance between cost and excellent quality.

> Peter Rose + Vincent Grenier Guest Programmed by Christine Lucy Latimer
> + Mark Loeser "In the process of making Work, in the lifelong commitment
> to embodying the images and ideas that confront us, we propose,
> implicitly, a condition in which we test out an experience of working on
> ourselves outside the conditions of alienation as we find and are
> defined by them. If we can't get it together, given our inner freedom,
> who can?" ˆ Peter Rose, On the Edge The kaleidoscopic corridors of
> Analogies: studies in the movement of time make for one of Peter Rose's
> most heavily worked, purely visual pieces. It offers the viewer a sense
> of humanity that is absent in similar, more austere works (the great,
> relentless halls of Ernie Gehr's Serene Velocity or Malcolm LeGrice's
> Corridor for comparison). Rose's work spins the frame around
> characteristic glimpses of implied drama and coy playfulness. The
> framing and soft shoe meet in a low-key flamenco-dervish. The man who
> could not see far enough is the very best of films not simply born of
> but explicitly about the pursuit of poetic, filmic visions. Where the
> entire genre of experimental film may be said to expand the range of
> sights available to us, few films preface for the viewer what motivates
> this: the filmmaker seeking Seeing itself. Rose's career-long
> fascination with the elusiveness of meaning is most memorably visualized
> here. Vincent Grenier's sublime Interieur Interiors (To A. K.) is
> featured between the Roses. In it, lines are woven between the frame,

> FESTIVAL DES CINéMAS DIFFéRENTS ET EXPéRIMENTAUX DE PARIS 
> From 11th - 16th December!!! For its 14th edition the Paris Festival of
> Different and Experimental Cinema will present for its third consecutive
> year an international COMPETITION composed of 9 screening sessions. 57
> films were selected among the 900 that we received. As usual we have
> chosen to present a large panorama of contemporary productions that do
> not conform to the notion of genre and duration as imposed by the film
> industry. Yes, experimental and different cinema mix together forms,
> grain and pixels to show us the world, tell us stories, or offers
> magnificent abstract forms. Yes, experimental cinema disrupts our
> spectator's habits and that is why we like it. This year the festival
> presents a thematic program about the Eastern European production that
> will unfold through 6 FOCUS screenings. A special screening:
> STRIGIFORME, will present recent works by some of the CJC filmmakers
> that were part of the selection committee or part of the jury for this
> edition. Two programs about SUPER 8 films will be presented by the
> French filmmaker , Colas Ricard. We will also pay homage to the
> filmmakers Marcel Hanoun and Laurence Chanfro who have both sadly left
> us this year. Finally, we will close the festival by presenting a
> selection ex-Yugoslavian films, programmed by Marcel Mazé ( the founder
> of the CJC) in 1983 at the Film festival of Hyères, for us, this is our
> way to pay homage to him as a programmer-discoverer of films and to keep
> him present by our side despite his painful absence.

> THE SAGA OF ANATAHAN
> Discharged from Macao by Howard Hughes, Josef von Sternberg's Hollywood
> career had come undone. The director embarked on a dream project that
> brought the exacting affection of his Marlene Dietrich vehicles to its
> logical and impossible conclusion. Anatahan follows a group of stranded
> Japanese soldiers as they decline into savagery, fighting for guns,
> power, and the island's only girl, entirely unaware that war has ceased.
> The artificial society meets its match: Anatahan's cast is wholly
> Japanese, but Sternberg's brisk, fussy English voiceover narration
> supersedes all. Filmed entirely in a Kyoto studio, Anatahan is some sort
> of monstrous apex of synthetic cinema, representing near-total control
> for the obsessive filmmaker, who intercedes not only with the sets and
> montage, but with the thoughts and actions of every human in the film.
> (Sternberg would subsequently lament his sole compromise: photographing
> real waves rather than fabricating the ocean. He also maintained that
> the film's essence would survive even if projected upside-down and
> backwards.) Anatahan never found a non-cultist audience, prompting
> Sternberg to tinker˜deleting dialogue and adding nude shots. At least
> Anatahan could boast a theatrical release several years before Jet
> Pilot, another fateful Sternberg-Hughes collaboration begun in 1950!

> LA AIR: PABLO VALENCIA
> LA AIR is a new artist-in-residence program that invites Los Angeles
> filmmakers to utilize EPFC resources in creating a new work over a
> four-week period. Though he is famed for his tongue-in-cheek criticisms,
> his satires of traditional culture, and his unending social
> responsibility, few remember that Pablo Valencia, a Los Angeles based
> artist, began first and foremost: as an artist; a collagist, painter,
> sculptor, sound designer, and filmmaker. He creates representational and
> abstract pieces moving freely between documentation, surrealism, and
> formalism. Pablo was instrumental in the founding of the Overseas
> Chinese Artists Foundation as well as laying the groundwork for
> experimental artists in the East Village where he published three books
> about the future generation of artists. His work has been displayed all
> over the world in Australia, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy,
> Japan, Korea and the United States and recently has been commissioned by
> the Tate Modern. Later his name would become famous with projects such
> as the 'Bird's Nest,' the Olympic Stadium for the 2008 Beijing Summer
> Games, a project he quickly distanced himself from following completion.
> His role as an activist deepened following the closing of his blog. His
> work has been shown extensively throughout the Americas and Europe.
> During his residency at the Echo Park Film Center he has strived to make
> work that is a meditation on time and marked by a pursuit of honesty. He
> has created work for this show on Super 8, regular 8, and video. Pablo
> currently resides in Los Angeles. His LA AIR show is sponsored by Coke.
> He is a resident of Los Angeles. More images and information are

> YOUR DAY IS MY NIGHT: LIVE FILM PERFORMANCE DIRECTED BY LYNNE SACHS
> In "Your Day is My Night" a group of Chinese performers creates a
> dynamic live film performance that tells the collective story of Chinese
> immigration to New York City from the viewpoint of an older generation.
> Directed by Lynne Sachs on both stage and screen, the seven performers
> play themselves, all living together in a shift-bed apartment in the
> heart of Chinatown. Since the early days of New York's tenement houses,
> shift workers have had to share beds, making such spaces a fundamental
> part of immigrant life. In this dynamic multi-media production, the
> concept of the shift-bed allows the audience to see the private become
> public. The bed transforms into a stage when the performers exchange
> stories around domestic life, immigration and personal-political
> upheaval. "Your Day is My Night" is a provocative work of experimental
> theater and cinema that reflects deeply on this familiar item of
> household furniture. A bilingual performance in Chinese and English.

> Hailing from the celluloid paradise of Pittsburgh, and currently
> residing in Boston, they have created a body of work, both separately
