a conference in the next two days on chris marker. my first real hypertext project (last updated in 95 but i think first published in 93 or 94) was, is, the chris marker www project. still one of the busiest parts of that particular server (and i am going to move it soon). la jetée remains the benchmark work for me in cinema and philosophy, was supposed to be the object of my late phd, but it is a work that always leaves me speechless. or at least wordless. i'm in a sort of reverential state of reverie and can never (have never) decided whether i should write about the work or not. i want to, i don't want to. so. it will be a good conference.

this is a british project that commissions work in video and film and promotes work in this media. looks like a good funding and project development and support model.

uni of bergen mediascience project (in conjunction with others) that is based on the nordic anthropological film archive and uses quicktime and flash to provide access, commentary, teaching and research resources around the archive. promising beginning for broadband access, now we just have to get some work done on how to build critical content with or in video much like we know how to do this with words...

federal body that provides industry support and policy. used to also do a lot on the kulta side but in our economic rationalist times maintaining a culture that understands the work is less important than international bums on seats.

australian film buff and review site. it is a professionally written site that has a lot of its content syndicated to other sites and primarily offers reviews, industry news, and a bit of industry analysis.

Elsaesser, Thomas, and Kay Hoffmann, eds. Cinema Futures: Cain, Abel or Cable? The Screen Arts in the Digital Age. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 1998.

an australian (melbourne, the home of all real culture) based web site that combines informed commentary, reviews, and criticism, with a dash of academic writing. an exemplary web site that is a good illustration of what electronic publishing by people familiar with a content area can achieve.

The journal provides a forum for new work relating the arts and literature to the exploration of consciousness currently flourishing in many disciplines such as philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and physics.

Submissions are welcome from the fields of fine arts, performing arts (performance, theatre, dance, music), and media arts (film, television, multimedia, hypermedia), literature and any sub-categories of those areas.

they live at the uni. of wales, in the department of theatre, film, and television.

the british film institute, an organisation that many others aspire to. publishes books. dvds, videos. curates exhibitions, runs seminars. combines education with cultural development with industry support and development.

online film journal run by the institute of film studies at the uni. of nottingham (you can imagine the jokes). has a concentration on reviews; books, films, conferences.

institute of film studies at the university of nottingham. home of scope, an online journal. film studies here is in american and canadian studies, strange and no doubt fodder for academic-dinner-party-prattle.
