AGRADECIMENTOS Difícil usar um espaço tão pequeno para agradecer a todos que contribuíram para esta trajetória tão gratificante e tão tortuosa ao mesmo tempo. Por ser esse turbilhão, agradeço inicialmente à minha mãe e ao meu irmão que me apoiaram do processo de seleção até nas desesperadoras madrugadas sem dormir. Ao meu orientador, Claudio Coração, pela paciência constante em todos os momentos de desespero. Por acreditar no potencial da pesquisa transformou meu olhar ao cinema e tornou a escrita ainda mais prazerosa. Agradeço à FAPEMIG pelo auxílio financeiro. Aos colegas de mestrado, eu agradeço a companhia e os parabenizo por nossa trajetória sempre em conjunto. Sabemos que a carga de pertencer à primeira turma de um programa de Pós-graduação pode parecer um fardo. Mas poder contar com todos vocês nesses dois anos aliviou muita tensão. Agradeço às maiores falsianes que vocês respeitam: Dayane, Flávio e Ana Luísa. Encontrar apoio em vocês é inexplicável. Meu trabalho não existiria sem a delicadeza do olhar da Day que praticamente co-orientou esta pesquisa e me ensinou que todo o processo poderia ser mais leve (e que eu também poderia ser.

  • Gus Van Sant (B. 1952, Louisville, Kentucky), Admired Internationally
    GUS VAN SANT Gus Van Sant (b. 1952, Louisville, Kentucky), admired internationally as a filmmaker, painter, photographer, and musician, received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence in 1975. Since that time his studio painting practice has moved in and out of the foreground of a multi-disciplinary career, becoming a priority again over recent years. Van Sant’s work in different mediums is united by a single overarching interest in portraying people on the fringes of society. Van Sant’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, Le Case d’Arte in Milan, Italy, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon in Eugene, among others. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions since the 1980s, presenting drawings, paintings, photographs, video works, and writing. Among Van Sant’s many internationally acclaimed feature films are Milk (2008); Elephant (2003); Good Will Hunting (1997); My Own Private Idaho (1991); and Drugstore Cowboy (1989). Van Sant lives and works in Los Angeles.

  • The Front Runner
    THE FRONT RUNNER PRODUCTION NOTES Oscar® nominee Hugh Jackman stars as the charismatic politician Gary Hart for Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Reitman in the new thrilling drama The Front Runner. The film follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race – events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage. Jason Reitman directs from a script by Matt Bai & Jay Carson & Jason Reitman, based on the book All the Truth is Out by Matt Bai. The producers are Reitman, Helen Estabrook and Aaron L. Gilbert. The executive producers are Matt Bai, Jay Carson, Michael Beugg, Jason Blumenfeld, George Wolfe, Jason Cloth, Chris Conover and Edward Carpezzi. The behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Eric Steelberg ASC, production designer Steve Saklad, editor Stefan Grube, costume designer Danny Glicker, casting by John Papsidera and composer Rob Simonsen.

Some big, life-changing event that reminds us what really matters. The problem is, the only time that moment comes is when that moment comes -- and sometimes it comes too late. Thick, single tears crawl down his cheek, cling to his clenched jaw. ARTHUR I... (hesitates) From Gus Van Sant’s The Sea of Trees, Screenplay by Chris Sparling Acclaimed director, Gus Van Sant’s THE SEA OF TREES is a deeply moving story about the destructive, redemptive and healing nature of love. It’s love and loss that lead Arthur Brennan (Matthew McConaughey), across the world to Japan’s Aokigahara, a mysterious dense forest known as The Sea of Trees lapping the foothills of Japan’s Mount Fuji – a place where people go to contemplate life and death. Numbed by grief, Arthur enters the depths of the forest and loses himself beyond the guiding ribbons threaded through the trees by many before him. Having found the perfect place to die, Arthur encounters Takumi Nakamura (Ken Watanabe), a Japanese man who also appears to have lost his way. Unable to leave Takumi behind, Arthur invests all of his remaining energy into saving Takumi and returning him to safety.
