DECEMBER 9, 2009: Cinema Studies MIAP-Blast!

Let's us write our names below and a brief sentence about what we'll present--along with technical requirements.

WALTER FORSBERG Intro session with 2 mins of some 35mm snipes (for fun's sake). A quick 5-min overview of my Linda assessment, and a word on my thesis work. Need: 35mm machine and PPT.

JONATHAN ANDREW UHRICH I'll see if I can show a 5 minute excerpt from the expedition films (trips in 1950s to the amazon to look for rare plants) at the NYBG. If I can't show this I'll show a 5-10 minute excerpt from a film I got preserved from a NFPF grant that hasn't actually screened yet (it's a doc on an immigrant family in Chicago in the early 70s). Need: DVD. And Walter, I am sure everyone would love to watch a lot of snipes. Don't hold back on us brother.

Oh, or wrestling television shows from the 1950s. I think I'll do that. Yes, wrestling shows from the 50s. Let's say 10 minutes total.

JENN BLAYLOCK Some Edgar Monsanto Queeny footage from AMNH (if I can get it approved). Just a clip, 5-10 min. Probably on DVD & maybe powerpoint images of the collection materials as a whole with a 5-7 minute introduction depending on how much time we have.

SIOBHAN C. HAGAN I would like to show the first 3 minutes 12 seconds of BALTIMORE: A MODERN AMERICAN CITY OF DISTINCTIVE CHARM AND TRADITION which will be on DVD (I need to get approval from MdHS first). Then I would also like to show clips from the WMAR-TV collection at UB, approximately 4 more minutes. I will talk briefly about my previous work and my thesis, all joined together by the MD wrapper. I can squeeze it into 10 minutes, but if we only have a few people showing things then I would love to do 13 (it is my lucky number).

JAH UHRICH This all sounds great. I would say if Joe and someone else want to join in we limit everyone to 10 minutes. If it's just four people than we could have longer, say 15-20 minutes. Sound good?

GALLUCCI, P.I. I would like to play some audio from the Pacifica/LGBT collection! Not sure if I'll have time to show a few visuals (pictures)? Very brief clips, maybe this poem about Anita Bryant read by two very angry gay men and something else perhaps.

MS. SANDRA LEA GIBSON A short 16mm film - color, sound, and 6 minutes in length - Short and Sweet.
