SCFZ

we're not going to find one screenshot that unifies us are we? instead we prefer something that abnegates images. oh well. so be it.

So far, I like this one the most.

thanks! it's abel gance's j'accuse!

I vote for one banner representing one letter of SCFZ in rotating order every month. If we're going to be a pretentious circle jerk, I want to go full boar. First month: S(okurov), Second month: C(imino), Third Month: (F)euillade, Fourth Month: Z(ulawski)... Fifth Month S(ono), etc. The longer we go without having to repeat a filmmaker, the more pretentious street cred we earn for ourselves. We can always degrade into film titles, or obscure references within the frame too. That we we have a permanent game... trying to see how the banner connects to the letter as we disappear further and further down the rabbit hole of our own meta-content.

I thought about the "what if God created the cat in his image?" scene from Resnais' Je t'aime Je t'aime, but it's gonna be too squeezed out. We're essentially ruling out 4:3 format films. I'll make a Pialat suggestion soon, however. I'm not sure about the font, though.

I like rischka's too.

We like the bound dead woman? Figures.

Cuz she's got a Halo! Saintly!

My vote is for Three Landscapes.

whatever i'll make another one. i just like the look of the silents

i've got literally hundreds of usable screenshots

2 for l'herbier's l'inhumaine



garrel's le révélateur



sry i used to make skins at flixster and didn't realize how much i missed it

some other ideas



david holzman's diary



epstein six et demi onze -- this one might be my favorite?

i like the epstein.

my ranking probably goes:

1. 3 landscapes
2. j'accuse
3. epstein

i vote eps but interchangeable would be the superchampiest

i like most of the ones rischka posted, though the epstein isn't one of my favourites. most of them look amazing tho

also like a couple of others

I hadn't even noticed the woman's hands were bound until it was pointed out. I liked that pic because it looked dreamy, like someone dreaming, and films are similar to dreams.

I like everything except cats, maybe I lean a little more toward an experimental film tie-in rather than film-festival winner stuff. Like the color-blind font and pantone. To quote Jesus on his little donkey, "Hell, I like everything."

Yes, but she's not naked and bleeding--we're progressing.

Any examples of what we definetly wouldn't be going with? I'm just trying to fine tune my selection process.

In honor of our lo-fi heritage, and in memory of Jiri, I'll repurpose a still from a movie I'm working on, that may be called Bagel/Bagel.

FWIW, the dimensions of the empty banner box are 1328 x 207.

What happened to jiri?????????

hmm that's gonna make a difference

on the other hand i could shrink and put multiple images across. hmm i'll think about this.

i wanna see more people contributing to this thread. jiri would have some fantastic ideas i bet

Oops, poor choice of words. "In hommage to Jiri" might be better. Nothing happened, he just ghosted away. AFAIK, his blog is still active.

histoire(s) du cinema this will be my last entry. unless i have a brainstorm lol. wanna give other people a chance

this a winner

i like the one without scfz written on it. if we want scfz written on it, then i think we'd need six images, so that scfz can be centered in the middle four images
