  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

I know this is subjective, but I’ve tried to use my judgement as to what constitutes ‘meat on the bone’, if you see what I mean. You’ll find wide-ranging interviews and articles that cover many subjects in the Miscellaneous section at the end. What follows is strictly alphabetical, except with franchises like Star Wars where you’ll find them chronologically listed for ease. Reviews will normally be of the DVD, Blu-ray or cinema release.

    UCSF Tobacco Control Policy Making: United States Title Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the Federal Trade Commission Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7kd981j3 Authors Polansky, Jonathan R Glantz, Stanton A, PhD Publication Date 2016-07-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the Federal Trade Commission Jonathan R. Polansky Onbeyond LLC, Fairfax, California Stanton A. Glantz, PhD University of California, San Francisco ___________________________ University of California, San Francisco This publication is available at www.escholarship.org/uc/item/7kd981j3 July 2016 Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the FTC | 2 Summary of findings The historical record strongly suggests that asking tobacco companies to report their product placement activities and expenditures did not capture all activity in this area. This report compares expenditures for product placement described in internal documents from American Tobacco, Brown & Williamson, Liggett & Myers, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds tobacco companies with reports the companies were required to submit to the US Federal Trade Commission in the “endorsements and testimonials” category of cigarette promotion and advertising. During that time, in their internal documents, American Tobacco, Brown & Williamson, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds, or their contracted product placement agents, listed 750 motion pictures as engaged for product placement, 600 of which were released widely to theaters (Appendix). Substantial discrepancies exist between product placement spending described in the internal industry records and the spending reported to the Federal Trade Commission in the “endorsements and testimonials” category. Nearly half (47 percent; $2.3 million of about $5 million) of spending for on-screen product placement described in internal industry records between 1978 and 1994 was not reported in to the FTC in the “endorsements and testimonials” category.

  • AUG—SEP 2016 at Bamcinématek
    AUG—SEP 2016 at BAMcinématek The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. AUG 4—SEP 22 (Eight Thursdays, 25 Films) THE FILMS OF ROBERT FRANK “One of the most important and influential American independent filmmakers of the last half-century.” —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Since the publication of his landmark collection The Americans in 1958, Swiss-born Robert Frank has been regarded as perhaps the single most influential photographer of his generation. Less well known—but no less groundbreaking—is Frank’s work as an independent filmmaker. Like his photographs, Frank’s restlessly inventive, searching films have a deceptively spontaneous quality, capturing fragments of everyday existence that reveal volumes. Encompassing records of the mid- century counterculture, meta-cinematic explorations of the boundaries between documentary and fiction, and sometimes painfully personal autobiographical works, the films of Robert Frank probe surface realities to expose the complicated, often troubling truths that lurk below. Includes: About Me: A Musical (1971), Candy Mountain (1988), C'est Vrai (1990), Conversations in Vermont (1969), Energy and How To Get It (1981), Fernando (2008), Flamingo (1996), Home Improvements (1985), Hunter (1989), I Remember (1998), Keep Busy (1975), Last Supper (1992), Life Dances On (1980), Life-Raft Earth (1969), Me and My Brother (1965-8/1997), O.K. End Here (1963), Paper Route (2002), The Present (1996), Pull My Daisy (1959), Sanyu (2000), Sin of Jesus (1961), This Song for Jack (1983), True Story (2004/8), Tunnel (2008). AUG 5—24 (18 Days, 40 Films) JOE DANTE AT THE MOVIES “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante in person! “One of the most personal directors working in Hollywood” (Jonathan Rosenbaum), Joe Dante’s films brim with anarchic, inventive energy, and are indebted to (and a celebration of) the cartoons, comics and creature features that animated his childhood.
