[Frameworks] Informal call for films

[jaime cleeland]

John, great of you to reach out with your film.  First, I would need a download link rather than a DVD.  Secondly some more info about the film.  Is it likely to stir emotions for the Vietnamese in a bad way ?  Where was you based during the Vietnam/American war ?  

You have such an impressive CV in terms of academia I would sure like to have your name in the program along with a little blurb from yourself about your feelings behind the film.

I am based in North Vietnam.  This is my first time organizing an event in Vietnam and I have to go through many official avenues and my proposals will be scrutinized... so please do not think I am trying to censor content of the program ... rather it is the case of having to be culturally sensitive.  I am working with no budget... basically starting this project up myself from scratch.  I am a film studies student basically taking a year out.  This is my third time living in Vietnam.

I would not be able to pay any screening fees.

Jaime

Jamie,

I made a film in 1984 called "Aspects of a Certain History".  It is about the history of the American war in Vietnam where I was a soldier with the 9th Infantry Division in 1967-68.  It is an experimental art work,  60 minutes, not a straight doc.  I have been thinking about showing it again in 2014,  the 30th anniversary of its release.  I'd love to have it screened in Vietnam.  It has a feel of early, politically radical Goddard and a little James Benning.  I'll send you a dvd if you like.  I have a web site "johnknechtart.com".  There is nothing about the film on the site but you can find out more about me there.  

Send me your surface address if you would like a dvd copy of the film which was originally shot, edited and released in 16mm in 1984.

Best,

John Knecht

I am looking to see if anyone on this listserv is interested in having work shown in Halong City, Vietnam.  I am organizing an artist residency and will have access to a screening area.
