MVT has announced a new phase of its hugely successful #saveour venues campaign, which will be focused on securing the future of 30 venues who have been deemed ineligible to receive funding from the recent government backed Cultural Recovery Fund. A range of targeted activity under the #saveourvenues banner has been announced, based around a combined effort by audiences, local communities, local councils and the creative community to prevent the permanent closure of these remaining GMVs. MVT are now urging everyone who cares about these venues to write to their local MP, council, local charities, and anyone else they can think of to demand action to prevent them being closed for good. And if they go they will never come back. http://musicvenuetrust.com/ Thank you – Mark Davyd, Beverly Whitrick, Toni Coe-Brooker UK Charity number: 1159846 @musicvenuetrust #saveourvenues **** Help Musicians (UK) Help Musicians is an independent UK charity for professional musicians of all genres, from starting out through to retirement. For nearly 100 years, we have been providing a broad spectrum of help, support and opportunities to empower musicians of all ages, at any stage of their career, from times of great need like presently, to times of opportunity. Musicians have been hit hard by the impact of the Coronavirus, and in response to the pandemic, Help Musicians has supported over 18,000 musicians with over £11m in financial hardship funding across the UK. The Fund offers a one-off payment of £500 to help alleviate immediate financial pressures. While opportunities for musicians to earn are still severely limited, we understand that more support is needed to ensure the thousands who are falling through the gaps in government support, or unable to survive on what they receive, can get through the coming months. We have just launched phase 3 of our hardship funding, a crucial lifeline for musicians at this time. www.helpmusicians.org.uk Thank you - Lucy Twaite - UK Charity 228089 @HelpMusiciansUK #saveourvenues Facebook: HelpMusiciansUK Twitter: HelpMusiciansUK Instagram: HelpMusicians **** National Independent Venue Association – USA #saveourstages NIVA's mission is to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent venues and promoters throughout the United States. These entertainment hubs are critical to their local economies and tax bases as employers, tourism destinations, and revenue generators for neighboring businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and retail. Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open. The economic recovery process will extend past just reopening the front doors, requiring solutions unique to the industry. The mission of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) is to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent live music venues and promoters throughout the United States. This is our final push to Congress and there won’t be another opportunity. We NEED the #SaveOurStages Act passed in order to keep independent venues nationwide from closing permanently. Please help us #SaveOurStages now. www.nivassoc.org Thank you – Rev.

From “Discourses of Sobriety” to Deadpan Comedy: Christopher Guest’s Musical ... 1 From “Discourses of Sobriety” to Deadpan Comedy: Christopher Guest’s Musical Trilogy Charles Holdefer The idea was, “Wouldn’t it be fun to do a movie where people got this right for a change?” Harry Shearer, aka bass player “Derek Smalls” of Spinal Tap (Muir 2004: 25) 1 The entertainment industry has long been fascinated by the “truth” behind popular music. Indeed, the first feature length talking film, The Jazz Singer (Crosland 1927), starred Al Jolson as Jakie Rabinowitz, a young man struggling to reconcile his Jewish identity to his success at performing in blackface to white audiences. Since then, there has been an endless stream of movies about music. Some are explicitly biographical, with actors cast as iconic musicians: e.g., The Glenn Miller Story (Mann 1954), The Buddy Holly Story (Rash 1978), Ray (Hackford 2004), Walk the Line (Mangold 2005) and Bohemian Rhapsody (Singer 2018).

  • Mockumentary Film Program.Pdf
    History of the Mockumentary Film Wednesday January 1, 2020 – Friday January 10, 2020 Vicki Napolitano MALS Capstone Project About the Film Series From there start, documentary films have attempted to capture various aspects of real life, primarily for the purpose of maintaining a historical record of noteworthy people, places, and events. Today, documentaries explore multiple aspects of everyday life. They often expose uncomfortable truths in an effort to move society forward and improve human condition. One of the sub-genres of documentary filmmaking is the mockumentary. A mockumentary takes the form of a documentary but the people and events depicted are fictional and treated satirically. Through the lens of parody, filmmakers can examine and comment on current events and issues within our everyday society. The Mock Doc film series explores the history of the mockumentary film and how it’s developed throughout film history. The goal of the mockumentary is not to enhance credibility but to explicitly question the believability of what the audience is witnessing. While many early documentary films used fakery to add to the realism the directors were trying to portray, mockumentaries are designed to amuse or look as realistic as possible - both to trick the audience and to challenge them to question what they accept as truth. The series will demonstrate that several films that are labeled as traditional documentaries are actually mockumentaries and how even fiction films can come across to audiences as real life. Nanook of the North (1922) Directed by Robert Flaherty Wednesday January 1, 2020 @ 6PM Considered by many as the first feature-length documentary, director Robert Flaherty captures the life of an Inuit man named Nanook, and the struggles his family face surviving the difficult conditions of the Canadian Artic.

While the operational impacts to stations and producers are expected to be minimal, it is important that PRSS members be aware of what is happening. Two primary elements of this operation involve an extended transition of ContentDepot to the BuNOC and the temporary use of an alternative telephone number for the PRSS Help Desk. Both of these are detailed below. Transition to the BuNOC NPR Distribution is tentatively planning to switch ContentDepot from the primary NOC to the BuNOC on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, at 9:59 pm ET. From this point, ContentDepot will continue to run from the BuNOC for an extended period. The exact length of time ContentDepot will run out of the BuNOC is still to be determined, but we anticipate duration of approximately one week. The only noticeable effect for users will be that access to ContentDepot will be restricted for approximately one minute when we make the switch to St. Paul at 9:59 pm ET on Wednesday, October 10. Apart from that, ContentDepot will run fully functional from the BuNOC, and all users will be able to access and use the portal in the usual way with the following link: https://contentdepot.prss.org/portalui/app/#!login As soon as the NPR Distribution team has confirmed when ContentDepot will be transitioned back to the primary NOC in Washington, it will be communicated to the system.

  • Columbia Journalism Review
    Columbia Journalism Review Profile — January / February 2008 The Redemption of Chris Rose: Like his city and his newspaper, a survivor By Barry Yeoman On a breezy Sunday morning in October 2006, residents of New Orleans—displaced, exhausted, wondering if they would live to see their city’s resurrection—woke to one of the most audacious acts of mass psychotherapy ever performed by an American newspaper. It took place under an unlikely byline. Chris Rose, a columnist for the daily Times-Picayune, was once known primarily for reporting on the bad behavior of visiting celebrities. Hurricane Katrina changed that: it transformed Rose into a plaintive voice for a struggling city. His columns detailed the emotional toll of living amid still-flatted houses and daily reminders of the 1,500 who died in the storm’s aftermath. And then, more than a year after the breached levees plunged whole districts underwater, Rose was sharing with readers the story of his own descent. Rose’s column was promoted on page one and dominated the paper’s Living section: I should make a confession. For all of my adult life, when I gave it thought—which wasn’t very often—I regarded the concepts of depression and anxiety as pretty much a load of hooey. I thought anti-depressants were for desperate housewives and fragile poets. I no longer feel that way. Not since I fell down the rabbit hole myself and enough hands reached down to pull me out. One of those hands belonged to a psychiatrist holding a prescription for anti-depressants.
