Oohh, you should come to this! The One Take Super 8 Event that Double Negative Collective is hosting! The filmmakers involved are quite an awesome bunch. I made a film for it and am a bit nervous/excited to show it! The photo below is from the shoot…more soon!

  • One Take Super 8 Event
    la brique, 6545 rue durocher, local 402 (coin beaubien) MTL
    samedi le 21 novembre, portes 20h, films 21h
    suggested donation $5

About:

  • The One Take Super 8 Event (OTS8) began in 2000, with 20 filmmakers each shooting a single reel of Super 8 film, which then premiered to an audience without the filmmakers seeing their work beforehand. All the films were shown as shot. No cuts. No splices. The popularity of this non-competitive festival has allowed it to return each year with more filmmakers participating. To date over 600 films have been created for the One Take Super 8 Event!

Double Negative Collective will be screening recent work at Club Saw in Ottawa on November 5th, 2009 at 730pm.  The screening is presented by Cafe Ex and programmed by Scott Birdwise.

  • “Café Ex @ Club SAW is pleased to present a selection of films from Montreal-based filmmaking collective, Double Negative. In an age of big business financed, industry-based, capital-oriented film production, Double Negative Collective represents an innovative and much-needed alternative. Where the Industry model dominates discourse and puts a premium on instant recognition, the generation of capital, and the consolidation of power, the twelve filmmakers that comprise Double Negative participate in a democratic discussion on film/video form, aesthetics, and politics – in brief, the past, present, and (possible) future(s) of cinema. The fourteen works chosen for this exhibition represent the challenge posed by Double Negative to much of the current stagnation of film in the 21st Century. (Scott Birdwise, Programmer) “

  • Interested in bulletin boards because they are:
  • Kind of like collage, kind of like film editing, they’re scrapbooks, they’re photoalbums, they’re often rigid squares or rectangles intended to organize or contain a bit of chaos or swirling ideas, they keep different ideas and images easily accessible and locatable kind of like an internet web browser window as opposed to a bound magazine or book. They are also portraits of the people who use them, in a way.
  • Gonna photograph people’s bulletin boards and share them here, or, you can send us a photo of your own bulletin board(s) by e-mailing a picture to nightwoodband@gmail.com”

Also: making gypsy soup, drinking red wine, chilling out, planning my super 8 film and mini-collage zine…

Not on the like list: avoiding grant writing and cleaning my studio.

I mean, I’m not ascetic, I just feel that way…making films, writing grants, playing guitar, cooking dinner, working during the day. Focusing.

Of course, this makes me consider dressing the part…

My bud Kathleen and I gave a wee goodbye letter to the webosphere today, in time for Lickety Split’s new monthly dance party fundraiser. A bit sad, even though this is something we decided on long ago and have been working with the new team on for a while. Here is is in full:

It’s been a long time since we rock n’ rolled, hasn’t it? Well, it’s time again for bulging pants and sticky panties! As you must have heard, Lickety Split smut zine is launching a new monthly dance party to offset printing costs for the next issue. Cum on out and party in support of the magazine you lust after! Check out the party details right here: http://licketysplitzine.blogspot.com/2009/10/lickety-split-presents-smut-on-dance.html

Also, just so’s you know: Lickety Split smut zine has been taking time this year to freshen up and make some much-needed changes. Along with firming up our fundraising strategies, the Lickety team is transitioning by incorporating new collaborators (Sarah, Lara, Mitra and more!). You can contact Sarah directly at sarah@licketysplitzine.com. A couple of names you might recognize and some you will get to know better in the coming months! Some of us other Licketys (Amber and Kathleen) are moving on to heavy pet with some new projects, but we will still be out and about working in smaller ways to make Lickety Split the best indie porn mag it can be! We thought it would be nice to let you know that we’ve appreciated all the sweaty, turned pages over the years and that the new team is hotly pursuing the next issue of “guilt free and fun smut for everyone!” (2008 Expozine awards). Thanks for all the incredible support over the years, from the bottoms of our apple bottoms.
Stick around for more filthy fun and support Lickety Split!

Love,

Amber & Kathleen”

Folks,

It’s been a while since I updated this website. My time has been largely taken up by my band Nightwood and putting out our new record. I’m also working more closely with the Double Negative Collective (grant writing + making a Super 8 film for the One Take Super 8 Event happening here in Montreal this November). I’ll post more about these items more regularly and soon!

My band Nightwood has been part of the 52 Pick-Up video project! Here’s what’s up this week:

  • WEEK 4: “I Love You So Much It Hurts Me” Amber made this video in film school and never did anything with it. It’s from her old video diary series. More, new stuff next week!

Also read our Nightwood post on Indyish today!
