This rare opportunity to participate in an extended dialogue with the filmmaker will include screenings and detailed discussion of works by Robert Beavers, Gregory J. Markopoulos, Bruce Baillie and several contemporary filmmakers working in 8mm and 16mm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Starting from an observation made by the poet, Elizabeth Bishop, that theories can only be about others\u2019 works or one\u2019s own in retrospect or wishful thinking, I hope to open a discussion about what a filmmaker\u2019s voice might be and how it is sometimes related to a sense of place. I will present films by others and an early work of my own, and time allowing, I may discuss one or two points towards the future to fulfil our poet\u2019s category of wishful thinking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While viewing these films, I hope to speak about some of the material differences and discuss with the participants how these differences have affected the resulting films. This can provide participants with some background to this area of filmmaking and an opportunity for a comparison of sources for their own decisions as filmmakers or dedicated film spectators.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will concentrate also upon qualities of the senses in filmmaking and the search for a richness in the development of technique to give form to thought and emotion.&#8221; \u2014Robert Beavers<\/p>\n<p>Films to be shown and discussed:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Francois Bou\u00e9, Tectonica: Ur-Haus (Yawpo), 1998-99, Super-8, 18fps, colour, sound, 7 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Francois Bou\u00e9, Micropolis: Tabu Mana, 1998, Super-8, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Francois Bou\u00e9, Tabu Mana II: Gods to Go, 1998, Super-8, 18fps, b\/w, silent, 4 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Francois Bou\u00e9, Goetheanum, 2005, Super-8, 18fps, colour &amp; b\/w, silent, 8 min<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bruce Baillie, Valentin de las Sierras, 1967, 16mm, 24fps, colour, sound, 10 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Ute Aurand, Maria und die Welt, 1995, 16mm, 24fps, colour &amp; b\/w, sound, 15 min<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Beavers, The Stoas, 1991-97, 16mm, 24fps, colour, sound, 22 min<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>15 minute break<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helga Fanderl, Tombs, 2004, 16mm, 18fps, b\/w, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Broadway, 2006, 16mm, 18fps, b\/w, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Drawing Cobblestones, 2006, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Golf House, 2006, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Leaden Waves, 2006, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Shadows on a Red Wall, 2006, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Skating, 2005, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Warriors Mark, 2007, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 2 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Lou\u00efe, 2007, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 3 min<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Helga Fanderl, Glaciers, 2006, 16mm, 18fps, colour, silent, 1 min<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gregory J.
