Accruals No additions are expected. System of Arrangement Arranged to the container level. Processing Information Processed by Dean Smith in 2011. Biographical Information Freude Bartlett founded Serious Business Company in 1972 to distribute independent and experimental films. Born out of her initial forays in distributing her then husband, Scott Bartlett's experimental films in the late 1960s, Serious Business, "...began...at a time when I was heavily involved in the women's movement both in terms of ideological commitment and Finding Aid to the Serious BANC MSS 84/93 c 3 Business Company Records, 1965-1983, bulk 1972-1983 community work. It was a high energy period personally, which was reinforced by the support and energy of the movement. I had left my husband, I had a young child, and I had just started this business."1 Freude, who went only by her first name and known for her infamous shock of frizzy red hair, also became a major force in nurturing and distributing feminist films of the 1970s. "At the time, no major commercial distributor specialized in avant-garde films or women's film...[and over the decade]...[t]he collection grew considerably - from an initial catalog of 40 films to over 250 titles...[the] range of subject matter broadened to include anthropology and social documentary, films for children, alternative healthcare films and a very large animation collection."2 Freude took great pride in owning and operating an all-women run business. She was also a filmmaker in her own right. Her roster featured an extensive array of important filmmakers, e.g.: James Broughton, Bruce Conner, Shirley Clarke, Gunvor Nelson, David Pies, Chick Strand, Pat O'Neill, Sally Cruikshank and Anne Severson among many others. Being one of only a tiny handful of distributors specializing in independent and experimental films, Freude developed extensive networks and important relationships with many film organizations across the nation, most notably with Karen Cooper, director of Film Forum in New York. By the early 1980s as funding sources for the arts dried up and lab costs steadily increased, distribution costs began to rise dramatically. Serious Business, in order to stay solvent, was often forced to pay shippers and labs first before filmmakers. This unfortunate situation was greeted with a mix of understanding and outrage from the many filmmakers that Freude distributed. Having tried her best to stave off such a financially untenable situation, Freude was forced to dissolve the business in 1983 under a cloud of bankruptcy. The end of Serious Business was seen a devastating blow by filmmakers, fellow distributors and film organizations. The golden age of independent and experimental film distribution was, essentially, finished. In 1986, Freude earned a Masters degree in Information Sciences at UC Berkeley and went on to found the communications firm Metropolis Media, whose clients included PC World, Intel, and non-profits whose goals she supported. She died of liver failure at her home in Oakland, California in January 2009. 1 From an interview conducted by John Hess and Chuck Kleinhans on July 6, 1982. 2 Ibid.

  • Thesis Writing Deliverables (Pdf)
    DEFENSE SPEECH Discovering and listening to music has always been my biggest passion in life and my primary way of coping with my emotions. I think its main appeal to me since childhood has been the comfort it brings in knowing that at some point in time, another human felt the same thing as me and was able to survive and express it by making something beautiful. For my project, I recorded a 9 track album called Strange Machines while I was on leave of absence last year. This term, I created a 20 minute extended music video to accompany it. All of this lives on a page I coded on my personal website with some fun bonus content that I’ll scroll through at the end of this presentation. I’ll put the link in the comments so anyone who’s interested can check it out at their own pace. I have so much fun making music and feel proud when I have a cohesive finished product at the end. I’m not interested in becoming a virtuoso musician or a professional producer. A lot of trained musicians gatekeep, intimidate, and discourage amateurs. People mystify and mythologize the creative process as if it’s the product of some elusive, innate genius rather than practice, experimentation, and a simple love of music. As someone who’s work exists entirely as digital recordings, there’s no inherent reason for me to be an amazing guitar player who can play a song perfectly all the way through, as mistakes can be easily cut out and re-recorded.

  • Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2016
    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2016 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage August 15, 2017 Dr. Carla Hayden The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Hayden: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2016 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. Americans have been making films for more than 120 years, but it is only in the last 30 that we have rallied to save those images. In 1996, Congress created the NFPF to help archives, libraries, and museums to rescue this history and share it with the public. Thanks to federal funding secured through the Library of Congress, entertainment industry and foundation support, and the unwaver- ing dedication of preservationists, there is much good news to report. As of 2016, the NFPF programs have preserved more than 2,290 motion pictures—newsreels, actualities, cartoons, silent-era productions, avant-garde films, home movies, and other independent works that might otherwise have faded from public memory. Tremendous credit is due to the 284 public institutions that have participated in our programs to save culturally significant motion pic- tures. Once copied to film stock and safely archived, the works begin a new life through teaching, exhibition, broadcast, DVD, and most especially, the Internet. With international partners, the NFPF has helped archives in the United States bring home 240 early American films that had not been seen in decades.
