This digital video was captured by film maker Bill Brand at the Alternative Measures Conference in Colorado Springs Colorado in late November. It represents a few moments from a 3-day workshop led by Richard Tuohy from NanoLab in Australia. It was a great event for proponents of shooting and making films with and without cameras. Enjoy

ANYEYE IN COLORADO

We just  returned from the Alternative measures conference/Festival in Colorado Springs Colorado. Saw many beautiful and provocative films. We learned a lot about the common issues facing filmmakers and the communities that they form to get their work done. There film makers from Brazil, Portugal, Canada, Austria,Germany, France, Korea, The Netherlands and America looking at films and teaching workshops for each other.

It was inspiring and invigorating and crazy fun. We learned a lot about hand made emulsions, creative development of print stock and contact printing. I learned so much that I will need talk more later.

SUMMER 2013 UPDATE

We have just finished cataloging more than 300 films from the Kentucky Library System which were donated by an anonymous donor. Looking at our overall collection of more than 500 films it seems as if we have a pretty good time capsule of 1970's culture and values as represented in the Instructional, History, Social Studies and 

Guidance films in the collection. We hope that when we make the database available other film scholars or archivist will find some useful or relevant titles in our collection.

 Two film loopers which we fabricated last year were donated back to us along with two projectors. Thanks Juliana Stevens.

Our processing bucket system which we employed in the June Film Camp.

Some of the improved storage space which we cleared and reorganized this summer.
