	Amateur film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amateur Film is the low-budget hobbyist art of film practiced for passion and enjoyment and not for business purposes.
		There are several Amateur Film festivals held annually all over the United States and in Europe.
		The international organization for amateur film makers is UNICA (Union International du Cinema Non Professionel); in the United States the American Motion Picture Society (AMPS), in the UK it is the Film and Video Institute.

	Film stock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Film stocks are specific types of photographic film used to shoot, copy, or print a movie.
		Film is also classified according to its width and the arrangement of its sprocket holes--a range of gauges from 8mm to 70mm or more, single-perf or double-perf configurations.
		Motion picture film is known to be a highly unstable medium: improperly preserved film can deteriorate in a period of time much faster than many photographs or other visual presentations.

	One hundred Years of Film Sizes. Almost one hundred film widths and perforations were experimented with.
		Whereas film equipment has undergone drastic changes in the course of a century it is a little miracle that 35mm has remained the universally accepted film size.
		Amateur film was usually cut from 35 mm professional raw stock, that was produced in large quantities and therefore economical to buy.
		An optimum use of the film width was obtained by expanding the image and reducing the size of the perforations on both sides.

	Amateur Film Club
		Amateur film clubs first started in the 1920s, and reached the height of their popularity after World War I, when technological advances made filmmaking more affordable.
		Film clubs give regular demonstrations, and hold discussions, classes and workshops on all various facets of video making, from learning skills like editing to discussions of new equipment and how to use it.
		The San Diego Amateur Moviemakers Club is a group of people of all ages and all walks of life who share a common interest in making movies for fun.

	Exhibition - Moving Images / Amateur Film
		In the early years of cinema it was hard to distinguish amateur from professional films, as the first film-makers began with films made in private.
		The introduction of Super-8 film in 1963 and the Super-8 sound film cartridge in 1973 created ideal conditions for home movies, but the new technology of magnetic film recording on video cassettes introduced in the 1980s soon conquered the global market and heralded the swift end of conventional amateur filmmaking.
		It was over 100 years ago that the medium of film first put moving people on screen; the 20th century was the era of film, and this new exhibition shows the technology of the age.

	AMIA: Publications & Resources: Guidelines: Inedits Q&A
		The "Inédits Q and A" column is prepared by Pam Wintle of the Human Studies Film Archive, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC, and by Toni Treadway of Brodsky and Treadway in Rowley, Massachusetts.
		Furthermore, most amateur cameras prior to the 1950s were powered by spring-wound motors that sometimes moved film faster at the beginning of a shot than at the end.
		The film was returned from processing split down the middle with the two 8mm sections spliced together as a 50 foot length of film on a three-inch reel.

		Amateurs are people who do filmmaking purely for their own entertainment or for the purposes of learning the filmmaking process.
		Amateur films are often made with equipment and media that are considered low quality compared with their commercial film and broadcast equivalents -- for example, 8mm film and home camcorders.
		Amateur films are typically made by people for whom filmmaking is a hobby or learning experience.

	On The Oslo Amateur Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Each cinema is fully equipped for both film and video and the video projectors are ceiling mounted in the auditorium giving a wonderfully bright image onto a huge screen.
		The atmosphere throughout the weekend was very friendly and informal due partly to the astonishing fact (to an IAC member of long standing!) that at least 50% of the audience were youngsters in their late teens and twenties.
		Since I viewed all 45 of the exhibited films my head was spinning but a few stood out for me. Oddly to report most of my favourites were not amongst the Gold awards and in my opinion were under rated by the professional jury.

	Film vs. Digital
		Film has already disappeared from professional newspaper use a year or so ago, although small town papers may still use it, and likewise, no digital capture system has come anywhere near replacing 8x10" large format film for huge exhibition prints that need to be hellaciously detailed.
		These typical comparisons of course put the film at a huge disadvantage since they are eliminating all of film's advantages and reducing the comparison to the trivial resolution issues the newbies argue about.
		For the film image I used the cheapest landscape camera there is, a $700 4 x 5" Tachihara and my 50 year old Schneider Symmar 150 mm f/5.6 Convertible lens with a huge dent in the lens barrel and ordinary Fuji Velvia film.

	Multiple Sidosis
		But thanks to that Roberts tape recorder and a ten-minute film he shot with a 16mm Bolex camera that stars twelve images of himself titled “Multiple Sidosis,” the 92-year-old Laverents now has a film in the National Film Registry to be preserved for all time alongside some of America’s most famous motion pictures.
		There was a small conference on amateur film, and this one was voted the favorite.
		It took four rolls of film to get everything straight, and the aircraft engineer by trade had to invent a machine that would allow him to synchronize everything.

		The majority of the film was 16mm, the first "amateur" film format that was introduced by Kodak in 1923, and all films were inspected by NHF's archivists upon arrival to make certain that they could be safely projected.
		The film was also shown at the 2004 Orphans Film Symposium in South Carolina and the 2004 Pordenone Silent Film Festival, but continued to mystify viewers.

	Jan Beran Photography: Biography
		He was employed at the regional office in Brno until 1945, then after the war as a specialist worker first at the Institute for film and slides in Brno, and later at the Research Pedagogical Institute.
		In 1949, he expanded his field of activity to include that of amateur film, and worked as an instructor, juror, lecturer, and first and foremost as creator of over 120 films, recognized both at home and abroad.
		With the help of photography and film he strived to reveal the world and its circumstances, rather than construct these with the help of arranged pictures.

	Amateur (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		As with all of Hartley's films, this one has a somewhat mesmerizing effect, which he exacts with a unique style of presenting his story that has to do with the look and feel of the film, the deliberate pace he establishes, and most especially the manner in which his actors deliver their lines.
		And though this particular film is not, perhaps, one of Hartley's best, it is still pure Hartley, with aspects that are certainly engaging and memorable, beginning with his main character, Isabelle.
		Donovan, a veteran of many of Hartley's films, is very effective here also, with a very pensive, understated performance that clearly indicates an honest sense of this man's bewilderment, as does the very real caution with which he approaches his situation as he attempts to reorient himself and get on with his life.

		I believe that the amateur CN film was already discontinued, as well as T400CN and Portra 400BW.

		But "amateur" has diverse meanings, and the culture that's been built around Super 8, along with Pixelvision and toy plastic cameras, chooses to see "amateur" as a compliment rather than a slur.
		In her book "Reel Families: A Social History of Amateur Film," film scholar Patricia Zimmerman traces the evolution of amateur film clubs from the earliest days of cinema.
		She explains that many amateur filmmakers in the 1920s and '30s attributed their interest in an alternative form of filmmaking to a hatred for what they deemed the corporatization of film as the early studio system churned out films practically on an assembly line.

		This film is done over and over again, in one script or another, so there's nothing really earth-shattering here.
		Still, it is a fun film, and the camera work and post-production editing is pretty effective, so it stands out for those reasons.
		The young actress who played the little girl in the film (Dakota Fanning) also carried a lot of the weight, even when on the screen with Washington, which is really saying something.

	Amateur Film Review - Time Out Film
		Certainly for Isabelle (Huppert), an ex-nun and would-be pornographer, who lets him recuperate in her apartment, the latter seems to be true, particularly when a porn star (Löwensohn), a crazed accountant and two hitmen begin to intrude on their lives.
		A delightfully stylish and skewed picture of sex, violence and love in contemporary America, the film wears its more serious concerns (guilt, responsibility, exploitation, redemption) admirably lightly.
		Huppert is especially good, conjuring up a canny blend of hilarious melancholy and unexpected eroticism which, incidentally, provides the film-maker with his most poignant portrait yet of an ill-starred love affair.
