The Fire Axolotl

Dear Gregorio,

I googled a little bit and your 'Fire Axolotl' magic lantern project looks
very interesting.
It would be great indeed if you could do a presentation in Belgium
somewhere.

I have some friend who are now traveling to Mexico (actually, they left this
early morning)
They are most interested to meet you if possible and also offering a place
to stay if you should visit the area of Gent to do your presentation.
If that's of interest to you, please contact me offline so I can bring you
in contact with them. thomas@visual-media.eu

Best wishes,


Thomas

Dear Thomas Weynants,
I am a filmmaker and amateur media archaeologist and collector in Mexico. I
am a member of the Magic Lantern Society and receive your posts in the
visual media google group. Thanks a lot for that. I am thinking of a
European tour with my Kerosene Magic Lantern. The show is named "The Fire
Axolotl" and was presented quite successfully in the Velaslavasay Panorama
in Los Angeles, California, last May.
I can obtain support from the Ministry of Culture in Mexico if I am able to
secure a few venues in Europe. I understand you are in Belgium. I am also
thinking in Berlin and Paris. Please tell me if you can help me.
Best wishes,
Gregorio Rocha

RE: 9th Seminar on the Origins and History of Cinema. Girona

Dear Mr. Murcury,
 
In a few weeks, we hope, the papers read in the previous editions of the workshop will be available at the web http://www.museudelcinema.cat/cat/institut_seminari.php
 
In 2014 papers read in the 9th edition will be published, too.
 
You can see the other publications here http://www.museudelcinema.cat/cat/institut_publicacions.php.
 
Best regards,
