Festival Map ON INSIDE BACK COVER Photo Credit: Jason Putsche Photography, LLC Last year, we brought a rare 100-year-old movie theater and adjacent buildings back to life, and as the SNF Parkway is about to become one year old, I thought you’d like a few highlights: • 35,000 admissions have been generated for over 200 films, most of which would never have been in Baltimore without this new movie theater • Hopkins and MICA film students and others have attended daily classes and other events 12,000 times • Over 3,400 people attended free screenings of short films during Artscape 2017, bringing free film back to this great arts festival • We have had capacity screenings of traditional favorites like Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, The Shining, and exciting premieres like King in the Wilderness • 5 of the 15 documentary films shortlisted for the Oscars had already played the Parkway, none of which would have screened in Baltimore without us • Partnerships with Pride, Everyman Theatre, Bikemore, WTMD, the Walters Art Museum, the Baltimore School for the Arts, and local restaurants like La Cuchara have already been formed • Student showcase films have been presented in each academic semester, highlighting work from college filmmakers, as well as middle and high-schoolers from across Baltimore • We have hosted numerous filmmakers who have interacted with audiences and met with emerging, locally based filmmakers • We have started a new Latin American Visionary Cinema series • We have established a base for regular series events, celebrating parts of the movie art form seldom seen in Baltimore: Sweaty Eyeballs (animation, curated and hosted by MICA animator and recent Oscar nominee Max Porter and Towson University professor and animator Phil Davis); Sight Unseen (experimental film series curated & hosted by filmmaker, Margaret Rorison). This is just the beginning. We are launching a series of wonderful movies for young audiences called Generation Parkway at this festival and we are excited to be part of the national distribution of Matt Porterfields’sSollers Point next week.

Bradford Young, one of our leading cinematographers, is a particularly apt host to open MdFF 2018. He was here for MdFF 2013 Closing Night film,Mother of George, directed by Andrew Dosunmu, and since then he has been the cinematographer for a series of extraordinary films: Pariah, Selma, Arrival, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints (directed by David Lowery, MdFF 2013 Opening Night host) and most recently Solo: A Star Wars Story. They’re usually called “music videos,” but Young’s series of work with Common, like Letter to the Free and Black America Again (which Young directed and is set in Baltimore), are beautiful and powerful short films. –JED DIETZ ACCIDENT, MD AGUA VIVA 19 MINUTES • USA • WORLD PREMIERE 7 MINUTES • USA DIRECTOR Dan Rybicky DIRECTOR Alexa Lim Haas ACCIDENT, MD is a survey of attitudes about A Chinese manicurist in Miami attempts to America’s healthcare crisis filmed in and around describe feelings she doesn't have the words for. the small town of Accident, Maryland. 4 WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 8:00 PM PARKWAY 1 Opening Night Shorts CONTINUED 66 MINUTES END TIMES HAIR WOLF 9 MINUTES • USA 12 MINUTES • USA DIRECTOR Bobby Miller DIRECTOR Mariama Diallo A man finds a dying squirrel in a park and has In a black hair salon in gentrifying Brooklyn, the a comedic existential crisis about it. local residents fend off a strange new monster: white women intent on sucking the lifeblood from black culture.

Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää.

The films Boyz n the Hood (1991) and Kidulthood (2006) explore the current problems of the South Central and Grove hoods respectively, while presenting the effects of the historical construction of these spaces. Both are written and directed by black men, set and shot in the areas in which they grew up, John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood (Boyz) and Noel Clarke’s Kidulthood intimately reveal the nuances of their hoods. Through analysing the two hood films’ depiction of race and space, the socio-economic effects on race relations in London and LA can be examined. The “Great Migration” in the US, out of the South from 1910-1930, due to obtainable wealth in factory jobs, caused a shift in the African American identity; black people were not simply associated with the South’s con- 4 notations of slavery.

San Francisco, CA—March 12, 2019—CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts proudly presents two new solo exhibitions, Abbas Akhavan: cast for a folly and Akosua Adoma Owusu: Welcome to the Jungle. For multi- disciplinary artist Abbas Akhavan, this exhibition is his first U.S. solo show and the culmination of his year as the 2018–2019 Capp Street Artist-in- Residence. Ghanaian-American filmmaker Akosua Adoma Owusu will present a medley of her films in an installation format—new territory for Owusu—in which two of her films will have their institutional premiere at CCA Wattis. Although these are two independent shows, both artists navigate histories, identities, politics, and materiality through distinct international lenses. “We are thrilled to present the newest works by each of these incredible artists,” says Kim Nguyen, CCA Wattis Institute curator and head of programs. “Abbas Akhavan’s time and attention to place made him a perfect fit for the Capp Street residency, where he can really delve into the ethos of San Francisco and its communities.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
