MASTERCLASSES The Masterclasses of the 16th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival offer promise for the future of filmmaking, acting as a crossroads of cultures where cineastes of varying styles can come and share via a universal cinematographic language that is expressed through the many facets of cinema. PAUL HAGGIS PAVEL LOUNGUINE PAUL VERHOEVEN PAUL HAGGIS Director Canada Born in Canada, Paul Haggis cut his teeth writing many TV series, including the critically-acclaimed EZ Streets, considered by the New York Times as one of the most influential series of all time. After picking up all the top accolades in television, it was a natural move to apply his talent to the big screen. In 2006, Haggis became the first screenwriter in movie history to write two films that won Best Picture Oscar in consecutive years: Million Dollar Baby by Clint Eastwood in 2004, and Crash in 2005, which he also directed. Crash also won the Best Screenplay Oscar, alongside nominations in four other categories including Best Director. Haggis’s work is notable for its liberty and social engagement, taking on diverse topics such as racism in Crash, forgiveness in Million Dollar Baby, and the war in Iraq for In the Valley of Elah.

From then on, his work focused on describing the evolution in his country, encompassing social and political satire against the backdrop of a society in perpetual crisis. With Tycoon: A New Russian, he denounced the practices of today’s Russian mafia, while in The Island, which screened at the Venice Film Festival in 2006, he tackled orthodox mysticism and explored the notion of saintliness through a lyrical and majestic work.

  • Generation Kill and the New Screen Combat Magdalena Yüksel and Colleen Kennedy-Karpat
    15 Generation Kill and the New Screen Combat Magdalena Yüksel and Colleen Kennedy-Karpat No one could accuse the American cultural industries of giving the Iraq War the silent treatment. Between the 24-hour news cycle and fictionalized enter- tainment, war narratives have played a significant and evolving role in the media landscape since the declaration of war in 2003. Iraq War films, on the whole, have failed to impress audiences and critics, with notable exceptions like Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2008), which won the Oscar for Best Picture, and her follow-up Zero Dark Thirty (2012), which tripled its budget in worldwide box office intake.1 Television, however, has fared better as a vehicle for profitable, war-inspired entertainment, which is perhaps best exemplified by the nine seasons of Fox’s 24 (2001–2010). Situated squarely between these two formats lies the television miniseries, combining seriality with the closed narrative of feature filmmaking to bring to the small screen— and, probably more significantly, to the DVD market—a time-limited story that cultivates a broader and deeper narrative development than a single film, yet maintains a coherent thematic and creative agenda. As a pioneer in both the miniseries format and the more nebulous category of quality television, HBO has taken fresh approaches to representing combat as it unfolds in the twenty-first century.2 These innovations build on yet also depart from the precedent set by Band of Brothers (2001), Steven Spielberg’s WWII project that established HBO’s interest in war-themed miniseries, and the subsequent companion project, The Pacific (2010).3 Stylistically, both Band of Brothers and The Pacific depict WWII combat in ways that recall Spielberg’s blockbuster Saving Private Ryan (1998).

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre
    Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California: A Review and Analysis of Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre Marsha Ann Tate ABD, Mass Communications Program College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University 115 Carnegie Building University Park, PA 16802 Email: [email protected] Last updated: June 3, 2005 @ 10:08 p.m. Paper presented at the 2005 Film Studies Association of Canada (FSAC) Conference, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California -- M. A. Tate 2 Abstract Paul Haggis's recent forays into the feature film milieu have garnered the London, Ontario native widespread critical acclaim. Serving as a co-producer, director, and/or writer for a series of high- profile motion pictures such as Million Dollar Baby and Crash have propelled Haggis to Hollywood's coveted "A list" of directors and writers. Nonetheless, prior to his entrée into feature filmmaking, Mr. Haggis already enjoyed a highly distinguished career as a creator, producer, and writer in the North American television industry. A two-time Emmy Award recipient, Paul Haggis's television oeuvre encompasses an eclectic array of prime time sitcoms and dramas. Starting out as a writer for situation comedies such as Facts of Life and One Day at a Time, Mr. Haggis later moved on to created notable dramas including Due South, EZ Streets, and Family Law. Subversion of widely held stereotypes and showcasing society's myriad moral ambiguities are hallmarks of Haggis's dramatic endeavors in both television and feature films. While the two techniques have helped produce powerful and thought-provoking dramas, on occasion, they also have sparked controversies.

  • Press Kit Falling Angels
    Falling Angels A film by Scott Smith Based on the novel by Barbara Gowdy With Miranda Richardson Callum Keith Rennie Katherine Isabelle RT : 101 minutes 1 Short Synopsis It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. Tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy, the Field house is a place where their Mom’s semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. But as the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls’ restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn. 2 Long Synopsis Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field (Genie and Gemini winner Callum Keith Rennie ) runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby-sit their fragile mother Mary, (Two-time Oscar ® nominee Miranda Richardson) as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change.
