[Frameworks] film eulogies

Mon Mar 20 12:58:44 UTC 2017

Saul Levine's "Dreams and Apparitions of Mark Lapore" is on Vimeo.   Has anyone mentioned "Time Being" by Gunver Nelson?   If you were to expand eulogy Bruce Conner's "report."

>> Dear Margaret,
>> Some Stan Brakhage films in homage to specific individuals include "Water for Maya" [i.e. Maya Deren], 2 min, 25 sec.; "Visions in Meditation #4: D.H. Lawrence," 17 min. 41 sec; and "Last Hymn to the Night - Novalis," 17 min. 18 sec.  Also, the fifth and final section of his "b series," subtitled "Sorrowing" (and by extension the entire film) was dedicated to Gregory Markopoulos, 12 minutes.
>> ... Homages to larger groups of people might include "The Dead" (10 min. 21 sec., filmed in Paris/Père Lachaise cemetery), and "In Consideration of Pompeii," 4 min. 35 sec.  
>> ... Someone else mentioned "Sirius Remembered" (in homage to a family dog).  Along those lines would also be "Pasht" (in honor of a cat).  "Sirius Remembered" was also thought of as part of a trilogy, with "The Dead" and "Burial Path" (in part, I believe, in consideration of a late illness of Stan's friend, the literary critic, Donald Sutherland).

>> Hi Meg,
>> 
>> I'd second Eric Stewart's Wake.  Eric and Taylor Dunne are actually in the process of creating a whole screening series specifically around this topic.  They've programmed two shows already that were lovely.  I'd definitely suggest reaching out to them - DM me for their emails if you don't already have them and feel like following up.  
>> 
>> Other films in this vein that haven't been mentioned yet:
>> - Taylor Dunne's Corn Mother
>> - The many films made honoring Mark LaPore's death (I don't know the titles of all of them, but off the top of my head I can think of Phil Solomon's Still Raining, Still Dreaming, David Gatten's So Sure of Nowhere Buying Times to Come, and Saul Levine's Dreams and Apparitions of Mark Lapore. I think Julie Murray and Ericka Beckman also made films, but I haven't seen them).  IFFRotterdam did a program of films honoring Mark around 2010, I think(???), which had even more artists/films.
