Patrick Cooper Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 I do recall one scene in The Exorcist where a movie was being filmed.
Jon O'Brien Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 (edited) One of the Godfather films. 'The Godfather Part II' maybe, towards the start. One of the wives is an aspiring actress and I think a 35mm camera is brought along to film a wedding reception or something similar. That's if I recall the scene correctly. Haven't seen the movie for a long time. Also, 'The Chine Syndrome' features a young Michael Douglas as a 16mm news/documentary cameraman. The camera is stuck to his shoulder for many of his scenes I seem to recall. Edited January 20, 2024 by Jon O'Brien

Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 (edited) I've got a few of them...in the film Archive. But they are not Hollywood productions. They are 16mm reels on how to shoot film or make movies. Some of them are how filmmaking was done for the nightly news. Others are on editing. I will have to find them to get the names. I've only been able to inventory about 55% of the film Archive so far. I still have maybe 1,600 reels to do. Here is one I have to scan called 'Constructing Reality...A Film on Filmmaking.' When / if I evet get a scanner, I will put it and the others online. eBay photos I also like films about projection...anything about filmmaking from back in the day interests me. I had 3+ feet of old American Cinematographer mags. Sadly, most of them got rained on from a leaky roof in the storage unit and were ruined. I was able to save a few inches of them, but I have not scanned as yet. There was lots of interesting time capsule film related material in them. Maybe 1970s or 1980s vintage. Too bad.

I bought them all on a DVD for $6 from a film collector and broke them down. My favorite way to acquire historical material is high quality scans for cheap. But I seldom find anything like that. In my case I usually have to buy the material and make the scans myself. In any case, these projection films are very hard to get and pricey if they do come up for sale. So, I am happy with low-res...instead of no-res. <><><>> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive Daniel D.

Doyle Smith Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 Has anyone said "Visions of Light" yet? I couldn't find it in the search bar.

Isn't this a documentary about cinematography rather than a movie that features film-making? Still, good reminder that it exists.
Doyle Smith Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 I guess it depends on your definition of "a movie that features film-making". If you mean strictly narrative fiction like "Day for Night" (one of my favorites!) I guess not. If you mean a movie that talks about some of the techniques or attributes of film-making, "Visions of Light" surely qualifies.

Patrick Cooper Posted July 5, 2024 Posted July 5, 2024 Not a movie as such but the music video for The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" song features a fair bit of filmmaking (as well as editing.)

charles pappas Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 In 1996 a black filmmaker named Bridgette M. Davis made a film which was given very limited release. It's just been re-released in a few theaters. It's well shot on 16mm, with an all black cast. The plot concerns the making of a film in NYC; clearly it talks about filmmaking.The producer of the film-within-a-film describes it as an "ultra, ultra, low, low budget movie." The funny thing is - maybe - that the camera shown shooting the film is an Arri 35BL, which doesn't immediately jump to mind as the camera to be used in an ultra low budget movie. I think it might have been possible to use the 35BL though, then, if it was borrowed free, if short ends were used, and if one of what must have been the many film labs in NYC gave the producer a great deal.
Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted July 21, 2024 Premium Member Posted July 21, 2024 In 1988 a five-minutes-and-30-seconds 16-mm. film was begun, finished and screened in 1989. Its title is (German) Der verfilmte Stoff und seine Gestaltung dürfen nicht im Widerspruch zur geistigen Grundhaltung der Schweiz stehen. That phrase was part of the Federal law on film production in force then (since 1963). A translation would go like the filmed subject and its composition must not contradict the general mental position of Switzerland. The movie is black and white. An advocate, a politician, and a historian answer the question what is the general mental position of Switzerland?
