[Frameworks] Rochester film

Mon Jul 20 07:30:01 UTC 2015

hello all

i'm a 26 year old film-maker from mumbai, india traveling to rochester, new
york in august-september this year. the purpose of my visit is a
preliminary recce for an audio-visual project i am developing with my
creative partner.

our object is the study of cities vis-a-vis their relation to the history
of cinema. as film makers we are drawn to Rochester due to its association
with Kodak motion picture film. for generations now millions of memories
have been imprinted on photographic plates that were all designed once at
this historic sight by the Genesee river.
Through documenting people,places, events, interactive exhibitions, art
galleries, murals, amateur photography clubs we wish to  identify the
evolution of film manufacturing as a threshold moment in 20th century
history. we see the development of film as a crossover of mankind's
innovative genius with his creative instinct, both of which are in a
constant state of flux.

we would love to use this forum to reach out to those who could share any
insight on the industrial development of Kodak and it's early working class
environments. on this visit we wish to get acquainted with neighborhoods,
schools, public housing projects, recreational parks, cinema halls and
other such spaces that have an affiliation to Kodak.

any leads would be highly appreciated; such as suggestions of locations or
people who could be interviewed/documented!

Thank you
