You're in luck! You can find most of the Barbara Loden and Joan Micklin Silver 16mm short films curated by @cinemiasma.bsky.social online! 🧵

Yes I would love to know what the condition is of these two prints. All the versions we have seen thus far have been very beat up. Would be great to know of more print sources for an ongoing project towards restoration of Loden's (and possibly Silver's) 16mm LCA shorts.

Meant to say, kudos to @cinemiasma.bsky.social for the teeming Barbara Loden series at Anthology Film Archives; the clip of her w/John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the Mike Douglas Show (6:15pm tonight) reminded me that I'd mentioned it in this piece on the wider context:

Why We Like to See Directors Talking

For some filmmakers, interviews are a parallel creation to savor at length, apart from any of their specific movies that might be under discussion.

Warhol/Morrissey’s Chelsea Girls on 16mm (x 2) at BFI was a woozy trip – irritating, euphoric, droll, repellent and (eventually) extremely shocking, came with an elite intro c/o @cinemiasma.bsky.social.
