This is a super preliminary #starterpack of #ExperimentalFilm
folks I've been able to find on BlueSky so far. If you're an experimental filmmaker, a film theorist, a distributor, gallery, or festival with an experimental focus, please let me know and I'll add you to the list! go.bsky.app/7UAchd8

I also jumped ship on Spotify right when they signed Joe Rogan. My 2024 was dominated by ELO, shamefully

There's a brand new review for my film “60 Second Thoughts: Volume 3” from film critic and Guggenheim Fellow, David Finkelstein. Here's the link to the article on his Lake Ivan Film Journal Substack: open.substack.com/pub/lakeivan...

#UselessWisdom returns - enjoy...

I know, right? I guess they had to assume anyone buying the super 8 version had probably seen the full movie.

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 26

When I was a kid in the 1970’s, there was no VHS, but they did have an abridged super 8mm version of Star Wars at my branch library. I pained the staff every day to run it for me over and over again. It was only twenty something minutes but I loved it. (Image credit: originaltrilogy.com)

The movie was no picnic on the psyche either!

#UselessWisdom on a Monday.

"For every injustice, a prayer. For every godsend, an umbrella."

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

At what point do random events pile up and become cosmically intentional?

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

But who is he, really?

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

Can it do the sound of one hand clapping?

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

At one point Buffalo’s cable access studio got shut down and the cable company wasn’t providing funds (as they were required to) to open a new one. So every week we did a show on the steps of city hall to protest and interview regular folks. It was kind of guerrilla TV / art /advocacy.

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

Despite growing up in #buffalo I didn't know Tony Conrad super well - but we did work on a cable access TV show together called "Studio of the Streets" from the steps of city hall. I do love this wonderful book, "Introducing Tony Conrad: A Retrospective" edited by Cathleen Chaffee. #ExperimentalFilm

Loved part one of this episode where Dan and Dominique discuss the early days of the Paris Films Co-op. Excited to hear part two on the How to Enjoy Experimental Film podcast @h2eef.bsky.social

How to Enjoy Experimental Film @h2eef.bsky.social · Nov 25

New episode on THURSDAY!
@dominique.willoughby, current president of @cinedocpfc returns to the show to discuss his career in film and video. Fascinated by hypnotic phenomena as well as pre-cinema artefacts, his films are mesmerising and energetic. Join us on Thursday #experimentalfilm #podcast

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

Hi Caspar - so glad you’re here. I have been trying to find other filmmakers who are joining Bluesky so it’s wonderful to meet you. I hope Sixpack film joins - RE:VOIR is here and Black Zero. I hope you’re well!

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 25

Cool - looks like we found a bunch of the same folks, but there are some differences. The more the better!

David Baeumler @davebfilm.bsky.social · Nov 22

I wanted to celebrate the amazing #ExperimentalFilm writing of Scott Macdonald. I missed him by a few years when he was at Bard College, but I’ve always loved his essays and interviews. If you haven’t read him, look him up. Lots is great books and collections.
