Once Upon a Time . ..

INTERESTING HISTORY included in these links regarding a very special and surreal location used various times in Jane Public films (shooting with natural light: Exteriors and Interiors). This location now does not exist anymore (surprise, surprised?):

"bye, bye hospital," thought Jane. 

And Jane was happy that this place now exists forever in Janey's experimental film lala land and living happily ever after. And without any more staff-induced Thorazine shuffles, K2 and/or 4-point restraints (i.e. the comfy cots).

Th(sic) Misanthrope Cafe.

“A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.”― Moliere on a coffee break with Jane

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.

E. Dickinson

Narcisa Film Screening and Sandberg died too...

Born in Germany (long time ago like 1928) and was resident to Argentina (ooooo, nice landing point) since her early childhood, Narcisa Hirsch—a filmmaker largely unknown in the United States—is a pivotal mutt figure in Latin American experimental cinema. Hirsch focuses on the body and corporeal experience in her work, and combines her musings on spiritual and existential questions with lyrical imagery derived largely from the interior spaces of her domestic life, the rural landscapes of Patagonia and the urban environments of Buenos Aires. 'Marabunta' captures a unique happening staged by Hirsch at the Coliseo cinema in October 1967, after a screening of Antonioni’s Blow-Up. In the mid-seventies, Narcisa Hirsch heard about Michael Snow’s(btw Snow rules) 1970 film 'A Casing Shelved', which combines a projection of a 35mm slide showing a bookcase in Snow’s studio with a tape-recorded narration by the artist that discusses various objects within the image. Notwithstanding her inability to see Snow's film, Hirsch made 'Taller (Workshop)', a 16mm film shot in the artist’s studio and dominated by her voice, but departing in thought-provoking ways from Snow's work. 'Testamento y vida' interior includes a performance in which Hirsch’s fellow filmmakers carry a coffin through the streets of Buenos Aires—an action all the more striking for having been accomplished at the outset of the country's most brutal military dictatorship.

In 'Ama-Zona', sparse meditations on female independence, eroticism, violence, and mortality are threaded through lyrical depictions of various spaces—urban and rural, domestic and public—with an eye attuned to the nuances of light, colour and shadow. Make use of a Steve Reich soundtrack and stage an encounter between two machines, camera and record player. (Federico Windhausen) NOTE: Read Federico Windhausen’s interview with Narcisa Hirsch in Cinematograph 7: Speaking Directly! Copies available for sale at her screening. bye…

To photographer Tom Sandberg.  R.I.P.   I loved your work :(

Dear Michigan,

Planning the next check(mate) move.

Jane's wheels r  a   spinnin' .(sic) ... ..

AGFA color film stock and a Black Magic camera on their way. ACTION!

Regarding a NETWORK of 1976

Chayefsy's prophetic vision of television's future included draconian corporate oversight, evaporating audience share, dumbed-down escapist fare and shows starring real people. In place of "newscasters," he saw bombastic, editorializing, divisive, larger-than-life personalities. And Jane felt deja vu.

More Anon. bye.

OMG post script
In 2000, the film was selected for preservation  in the United States National Film Registry by the The Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Oh My Gawd (i.e. OMG).

NORMAL: How the Nazis Normalized The Unspeakable

Vernacular Photo Exhibition at ArtRage Gallery. Syracuse, NY.

This is a unique collection of vernacular photographs that captures "normal" life under Nazi rule. 

Dan Lenchner’s collection of photos of Third Reich life makes the power of the “uncanny” visible. They are both strange and somehow familiar, these snapshots:Nazi officers at family picnics, weddings and christenings, relaxing off-duty and courting their sweet-hearts, along with mischievous boys at Hitler Youth summer camps, smiling nurses, teen-age girls practicing their goose-step, nuns posing with former students in uniform. Here are the threads in the fabric of a nation given over to war, close to 70 years ago. Still we struggle with what to make of their deeds, which lie so outside the frame. Lenchner, a photographer himself, is acutely attuned to this quality about the truth of any image. His book quotes Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem, that the “trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him…terribly and terrifyingly normal.”

                                                                   Hitler's Youth.

Our Siberian Winter.

and he puffed.
and the snow would not blow(i.e. slow) down.

DAY 3 (spelled: three) of endless snow.
