>> There is also a very old DIY guide here.

>> ? - That video capture card has a full-size USB port on it, so it needs
>> an adapter. If, like the Pixel XL, the Android phone is newer and has a
>> USB-C port, you'll need something like this. If it's an older phone with a
>> micro-USB port, grab something more like this. Not all phones have the
>> ability to plug accessories into the USB port -- do some research to see if
>> your phone supports "USB OTG."
>> ? - The app we've had the most success with is "USB Camera Pro,"
>> available here. There is a free version that can be used to check if this
>> setup will work.
>> Again, not all phones support this and we've only tested it with a Google
>> Pixel XL (1), so your mileage may vary, as they say. We welcome comments.

>> PXL THIS 33 celebrates its 33rd year of creative filmmaking by everyone
>> from kids to professionals. One of the most unique film festivals ever, PXL
>> THIS has been attended by Oliver Stone, Daryl Hannah, Kim Fowley among many
>> more. Pixelvision has even made it onto the big screen via Richard
>> Linklater (Slacker), Michael Almereyda (Nadja, produced by David Lynch) and
>> Craig Baldwin (Sonic Outlaws). The irresistible irony of the PXL 2000 is
>> that the camera's ease-of-use and affordability, which entirely
>> democratizes movie-making, has inspired the creation of some of the most
>> visionary, avant and luminous film of our time.
>>
>> "If movies offer an escape from everyday life, Pixelvision is the Houdini
>> of the film world." - SF Weekly
>>
>> PXL THIS, featuring films made with the Fisher-Price PXL 2000 toy
>> camcorder, is one of the longest running film festivals in the
>> entertainment capital of the world. Celebrating "cinema povera" moving
>> image art, it evokes Marcel Duchamp's axiom "Poor tools require better
>> skills." Pixelators from across the globe hoick up inventive approaches to
>> the unassuming throw-away of consumer culture. These low-tech hi-jinx films
>> come through loud and clear by reframing a new cinema language. Past PXL
>> THIS participants have included Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Chris Metzler
>> (Fishbone & Salton Sea documentaries), James & Sadie Benning, Joe Gibbons,
>> Cecilia Dougherty, Peggy Ahwesh, Jesse Drew, Margie Strosser, Cory McAbee
>> (The Billy Nayer Show), Ann Randolph, Kirsten Stoltmann, and Michael
>> Almereyda.
>>
>> "Gerry Fialka's annual PXL THIS is a reliably surprising and seductive
>> round-up of recent work achieved with the PXL 2000 camera. This humble
>> outdated toy continues to bring out the visionary child in filmmakers and
>> viewers alike, and no one has kept the PXL flame burning longer or brighter
>> than Gerry." - Michael Almereyda, director
>>
>> "Gerry Fialka's PXL THIS festival snaps, crackles and pops off the screen
>> with the funky, user-friendly energy of real first-person cinema. Goofy,
>> gorgeous, and altogether groovy, his provocative program of pieces produced
>> with the Fisher-Price PXL 2000 toy video camera is not only downright
>> entertaining, but more, its blipping and buzzing black 'n' white
>> picture-bits coalesce into a veritable inspiration to all those who cherish
>> the playful, spontaneous gestures and low-cost of electronic folk art." -
>> Craig Baldwin, director & curator.
>>
>> "All the PXL THIS videos reflect festival organizer Gerry Fialka's
>> commitment to the freedom produced by making art without financial
>> constraints. PXL THIS is a welcome highlight in the Los Angeles media scene
>> celebrating the rich lexicon available in a tool which might initially seem
>> rather limiting." - Holly Willis, LA Weekly.
>>
>> "Pixelvision may be firmly ensconced in the pantheon of once-popular dead
>> media, but for many of the faithful it captures the heart of the American
>> experience as it should be seen: in basic black and white." - David Cotner,
>> LA Weekly
>>
>> Seminal film experimental filmmaker Hollis Frampton evokes PXL THIS in
>> 1978 : "I didn't really like the work I thought was my best work. I liked
>> the stuff I didn't like a lot more." Rewording Jimmie Durham's overhearing
>> conjures PXL THIS: "Are those real films or did you make them yourself?"
>>
>> "When the aliens are here and deciding whether to vaporize all mankind
>> for our inhumanity, cruelty and greed, showing the aliens PXL THIS will
>> save the world. PXL THIS shows our best nature as humanist creators and
>> subversives against those who deserve it. Save the world. Support PXL
>> THIS." - George Manupelli, founder of the Ann Arbor Film Festival,
>> filmmaker, poet, collagist and political/environmental activist
>>
>> Pixelvision conjures Bucky Fuller's ephemeralization - the idea of
>> minimal material with maximum performance. The PXL THIS Film Festival is
>> similar to what Rachel Kushner wrote about Silvia Kolbowski's After
>> Hiroshima Mon Amour: "The overall effect is well beyond an avoidance of
>> comparison. It's refusal of the seductive surface of the Resnais film, as
>> if to coax viewers out of the trance of filmic nostalgia and toward our own
>> catastrophes and forgetting, our own longing to be faithful to a moment in
>> the face of oblivion."
>>
>> Seminal film critic Pauline Kael evoked Pixelvision in her book Hooked:
>> "I am still a child before a moving image."
>> Hollywood Reporter called Pixelvision a "precursor of today's DV
>> filmmaking."
>> 1- McLuhan quote, "If it works, it's obsolete."
>> 2- One audience member said that with all the great new digital effects
>> and equipment, it seems as though you could "fix" the picture.
>> 3- PXL pioneer Erik Saks declared many years ago (say what?):
>> "Pixelvision is an aberrant art form, underscored by the fact that since
>> the cameras wear out quickly, and are no longer being manufactured, it
>> holds within itself authorized obsolescence. Each time an artist uses a PXL
>> 2000, the whole form edges closer to extinction.?
>> Ain't no stopping us now. Dig infinity...focus.

The PXL-2000 (Pixelvision) is a toy camera, manufactured by Fisher-Price from 1987-89, that records on quarter-inch audio cassette tape. The low resolution and high contrast was made for kids, and became an art tool. Today Pixelators are merging Pixelvision with cell phones and live streaming. Electronic Folk Art, Lo-Fi Hi-Jinx ! PXL THIS 33 celebrates visionary moving image artists from seminal experimental filmmakers to children to homeless to professionals.

"If movies offer an escape from everyday life, Pixelvision is the Houdini of the film world." - SF Weekly
PXL THIS, featuring films made with the Fisher-Price PXL 2000 toy camcorder, is one of the longest running film festivals in the entertainment capital of the world. Celebrating "cinema povera" moving image art, it evokes Marcel Duchamp's axiom "Poor tools require better skills." Pixelators from across the globe hoick up inventive approaches to the unassuming throw-away of consumer culture. These low-tech hi-jinx films come through loud and clear by reframing a new cinema language. Past PXL THIS participants have included Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Chris Metzler (Fishbone & Salton Sea documentaries), James & Sadie Benning, Joe Gibbons, Cecilia Dougherty, Peggy Ahwesh, Jesse Drew, Margie Strosser, Cory McAbee (The Billy Nayer Show), Ann Randolph, Kirsten Stoltmann, and Michael Almereyda.

This humble outdated toy continues to bring out the visionary child in filmmakers and viewers alike, and no one has kept the PXL flame burning longer or brighter than Gerry." - Michael Almereyda, director
"Gerry Fialka's PXL THIS festival snaps, crackles and pops off the screen with the funky, user-friendly energy of real first-person cinema. Goofy, gorgeous, and altogether groovy, his provocative program of pieces produced with the Fisher-Price PXL 2000 toy video camera is not only downright entertaining, but more, its blipping and buzzing black 'n' white picture-bits coalesce into a veritable inspiration to all those who cherish the playful, spontaneous gestures and low-cost of electronic folk art." - Craig Baldwin, director & curator.
"All the PXL THIS videos reflect festival organizer Gerry Fialka's commitment to the freedom produced by making art without financial constraints. PXL THIS is a welcome highlight in the Los Angeles media scene celebrating the rich lexicon available in a tool which might initially seem rather limiting." - Holly Willis, LA Weekly.
"Pixelvision may be firmly ensconced in the pantheon of once-popular dead media, but for many of the faithful it captures the heart of the American experience as it should be seen: in basic black and white." - David Cotner, LA Weekly
Seminal film experimental filmmaker Hollis Frampton evokes PXL THIS in 1978 : "I didn't really like the work I thought was my best work. I liked the stuff I didn't like a lot more." Rewording Jimmie Durham's overhearing conjures PXL THIS: "Are those real films or did you make them yourself?"
"When the aliens are here and deciding whether to vaporize all mankind for our inhumanity, cruelty and greed, showing the aliens PXL THIS will save the world. PXL THIS shows our best nature as humanist creators and subversives against those who deserve it. Save the world. Support PXL THIS." - George Manupelli, founder of the Ann Arbor Film Festival, filmmaker, poet, collagist and political/environmental activist
Pixelvision conjures Bucky Fuller's ephemeralization - the idea of minimal material with maximum performance. The PXL THIS Film Festival is similar to what Rachel Kushner wrote about Silvia Kolbowski's After Hiroshima Mon Amour: "The overall effect is well beyond an avoidance of comparison. It's refusal of the seductive surface of the Resnais film, as if to coax viewers out of the trance of filmic nostalgia and toward our own catastrophes and forgetting, our own longing to be faithful to a moment in the face of oblivion."
Seminal film critic Pauline Kael evoked Pixelvision in her book Hooked: "I am still a child before a moving image."
Hollywood Reporter called Pixelvision a "precursor of today's DV filmmaking."
1- McLuhan quote, "If it works, it's obsolete."
2- One audience member said that with all the great new digital effects and equipment, it seems as though you could "fix" the picture.
3- PXL pioneer Erik Saks declared many years ago (say what?): "Pixelvision is an aberrant art form, underscored by the fact that since the cameras wear out quickly, and are no longer being manufactured, it holds within itself authorized obsolescence. Each time an artist uses a PXL 2000, the whole form edges closer to extinction.?
Ain't no stopping us now. Dig infinity...focus.

Hello everyone,
I am writing to ask if you know of international academic journals
dedicated to experimental cinema or video art.
Perhaps university publications have only dealt with these topics in
monographic issues.
There are a few magazines dedicated to this type of cinema (Millennium Film
Journal, Found Footage Magazine, Incite!, etc.) but I was curious to
discover those journals from the exclusively academic field.
Thank you so much,
Albert Alcoz

Hello Albert,
Moving Image Review and Art Journal (MIRAJ - ha, ha) is also dedicated to experimental moving image work (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.intellectbooks.com/miraj-the-moving-image-review-art-journal__;!!KGKeukY!ylJWlvUeH76S44EiKOVFLV4WEKDARiNLokCWT59hkHroFmAlyouKdM2XqKyjlNBLH9Imilv26ftPf3DUpe89ECHoG5EDe5f45lo$ ). October and Grey Room are not strictly focused on experimental work, nor on the moving image, but have both been important academic venues for scholarship in that area. The same could be said of Jump Cut, once a print journal now entirely online: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ejumpcut.org/home.html__;!!KGKeukY!ylJWlvUeH76S44EiKOVFLV4WEKDARiNLokCWT59hkHroFmAlyouKdM2XqKyjlNBLH9Imilv26ftPf3DUpe89ECHoG5EDifo2PLM$ .
I can?t think of any other academic journals that are either exclusively dedicated to experimental film/video or are ?experimental friendly.? Most academic cinema and media studies journals reflect the larger tendency of the fields to marginalize this kind of work. It?s rare to see an essay on experimental moving image work in the prominent academic journals in the field (e.g., JCMS, Quarterly Review of Film and Video, Journal of Film and Video).
Hope this is helpful.
Best,
Jonathan
