Dear Jeff/Joel/Frameworkers:

I'm not "rumor-mongering," just speaking from experience. I have emailed for
information, written snailmail, and phoned--for months, and all to no avail. If
the films are "available as usual," please (please!) let me know how I might see
them.

Must they be rented in 16mm or are some available in other forms? What is the
rental rate? Do you make films available to scholars. And what do I need to do
to hear from you about this in some specific way? Please feel free to contact me
off-FRAMEWORKS--though my guess that my interest in seeing the work is shared by
others.

If at some point in my quest to access your work, I've insulted either of you in
some way, please forgive me. But do let me know how to proceed.
