Hi Rob,

Oh! Great, that's a huge difference and much less of a problem. I just assumed it was higher and added too many zeros.

Many thanks,

Josh

I could buy a 120/240v 5000w converter I suppose, or possibly try to swap the power supply if I could track one down. Though that might cost more than I actually paid for the projector. Or I could simply leave it stateside with a friend, though I'd like to take it.

Hello,

Do any Frameworkers happen to have some of this discontinued Fuji stock
laying around that they would be interested in parting with (for a fair
price!)?

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Mario,

I was just going to write to you! To let you know that we've just
added a big expansion to Faucet and we're having a "Grand Open House"
on Friday night at 7pm.... the new space is just upstairs from Struts
(the yellow door)... and it has a 16mm steenbeck, an optical printer,
an animation stand, a green screen, and an electronics lab... and
downstairs has HD equipment now.

I was hoping to let folks i Moncton know... it would be lovely if some
of you lovely folks were able to make it down for a visit on Friday
evening!

if not, that's fine...

oh, and for the mailing address for my film... just remove the Apt.
#1... I moved out... but the rest of the address is the same for
Struts Gallery... so you can just sen it to struts gallery if I don't
see you on Friday night.

Hope you're well!

Matt,

you'll find a list of cooperative production labs on this site:

And on the same site, links to all the distribution coops:

If you are including cooperatives and artist run-centres in your list,
there is an extensive list of Canadian Independent Media Arts
Organizations on the IMAA website (these are centres that are members
of the IMAA/AAMI)

the IMAA is the Independent Media Arts Alliance which is a non-profit
national arts service organization that promotes and advances the
interests of our media arts community. Representing over 80
independent film, video, and new media production, distribution, and
exhibition organizations in all parts of Canada, the IMAA serves over
12,000 independent media artists and cultural workers.

If you're looking more for creation collectives (groups of people who
work together on the same project) rather than cooperatives (groups of
people who share equipment but work independently).... I can list a
few Canadian ones.

some creation collectives in Canada include:

1) the double negative collective

2) the IRiSs Lab

IRiSs Lab is a collective that I co-founded here in Atlantic Canada
two years ago. We are spread out across two provinces and focus on
improvised live film and audio performance. IRiSs stands for
"Integrated Ruptures in Sensory spaces". You can read more about us
and see samples of past performances on our website: http://www.irisslab.ca

Has the 16mm projection at the Walter Reade always been as bad as last
night, I mean
have my standards gotten too high for a screen that large ? -

I don't think so, but that would mean either they ran those shows on
something other than'the (Elmo 2200 ?) used previously, or the lens needs
work, was replaced - or
something. True I was 3rd row, but I've sat pretty close to the screen.

I've seen other Brakhage 16mm films which looked fine but The God Of Day was
unwatchable, I left - there is NO point to puting your energy in teasing out
focus watching
a film nuanced (on so many levels) as this. I hope Marilyn et al get this
out on Blu-Ray next round.

At Sea, forget it. The projectionist could not maintain focus across the
screen (Hutton is tricky, different print stocks spliced [I once projected
Study of A River; realized the head titles were emulsion in but spliced to
the film itself emulsion out - ouch - altho I caught it right away]) So I
watched 50 minutes of Peter Hutton's film (which stretches where you can go
with 16mm in the first place) buzzing around various amounts of misfocus.

Obsevando el cielo looked pretty sharp, Pitcher didn't compared to other
Beavers' films;
Great Art of Knowing I don't know what to compare to (was very late and
missed half of it and all of Sarbande.

Speaking of bad projection, I was at MoMA the other day and they have Ray Gun Virus on a looper on 16mm. I feel like I should know this, but is it meant to be screened in soft focus? In some ways, the softness of their projection (very soft) lessened the distraction of the scratches (which were considerable in number) and the dirt (which wasn't terrible yet), but I wondered if the softness compromised the effect in other ways. It's been years since I saw it projected theatrically, but I don't remember it being soft then. Does anyone know more about this? Should I have been brazen & just focused their projector? (I didn't dare.)

Tell me, o sages of Frameworks!

I haven't seen the projection there for a few years (Views), but it looked
decent to me at the time.

They should get an Eastman 25 installed, in fact I'm surprised they haven't.
With the right lens and lamphouse (reflector) these can throw an image much
larger than you would expect from 16mm, and if I recall the screen at the
Walter Reade is very tall?

BTW, does anyone know what is happening with the two new theaters in the
works at Lincoln Center? Will either of these smaller theaters have 16mm
projection installed??

I walke into a booth once and spit tricked a gate hair after it was obvious
the projectionist was fighting a 5 minute loosing battle trying to do with
Dust-off !
Lost the hair in < 2 seconds ;-)
(then I thought, why did I take so long to work up the nerve ?  As it stood
it had been 5 minutes of projector performance art, not what I paid for..)
