The trade show and demonstration suites were busting at the seams including an exciting new VR demonstration from Universal Pictures and IMAX. Seminars had the highest ever attendance; including the NAC panel on “Adult Beverages at the Mov- ies”, the ICTA program on the landscape of Virtual Reality and a NATO led pro- gram on the DOJ’s ruling on captioning & audio description technology.

The vendor community is showing heightened interest in the Cinema Buying Group in various forms and across varied service and product categories. New member programs and strengthened focus on promoting and marketing programs to our independent theater community is showing great results in this New Year. Member participation is up, vendor interest is high, and we had a very productive members-only meeting at CinemaCon last month. The future looks bright for the CBG community of independent operators! The most successful member program in 2016, the Philips Xenon Lamp Program, showed another quarter-over-quarter increase in the first quarter of this year. The Sign-on Purchase Incentive and a generous Customer Loyalty Program (free lamp rewards) make this program very popular with members. The Royal Corporation Janitorial & Sanitation Products Program proved to be a great cost-saving option for members with its best quarter of performance since introduction last April. We are in process with program improvements in both of these well-performing programs, exciting details coming soon. Created specifically to support the independent theater community through the Cinema Buying Group, the Indie Marketing Coalition (IMC) provides participating members expansive, studio-approved digital assets as well as selective hard assets (bus shelters, three-sheets, promo- tional packs, t-shirts, mini-posters, etc.) for use in promoting films and encouraging attendance. Other FREE member benefits include free show- time distribution through csXpress as well as inclusion in Movie Goer Network. The DCDC (Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition), which provides satellite delivery access for feature films and alternative content, continues to garner consistent interest within the membership through FREE equip- ment, installation and service, at a pre-negotiated exhibitor delivery cost. This partnership shows immediate cost benefit to our community with savings of ~50% on the majority of titles. In addition to our offering of standard Candy Rebate Programs from Nestle, Mars, Hershey and Promotion in Motion, we look to promote expansion in the concession arena this year. Our first Disney concession promotion launched this past month, with a Cars 3 Collectible Combo Pack. With special member pricing and free shipping to the U.S. and Canada, we anticipate increased concession per-caps, high purchase inci- CONFIDENTIAL: FOR NATO MEMBERS ONLY 5 NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT April 2017 Vol. 18 No. 2 dence, and a lot of smiling faces for this upcoming release. We look forward to a calendar full of these very targeted promotions for the balance of the year. Potential programs in the queue for 2017 could address the following areas of need: Equipment Financing Program (from reseating a single auditorium to a complete theater FF&E package), Promotional Programs (studio licensed drink cups, popcorn bags/tubs), Independent-branded Con- cession Container Program (popcorn bags/tubs, drink cups). The theoretical model of starting with base programs and key vendor relationships, effectively promoting the offerings to our community, showing continuous sales growth, then strategically enhancing and/or expanding offerings within the proven programs, has shown actual and measurable impact over the past year. The program model is working! The road to more meaningful program improvement in 2017 is Learn more about the CBG programs at vendor/manufacturer support with better and more programs www.cbgpurchasing.com. based on proven, measurable member support in existing and future programs. 2017 focus will be on improved individual For membership information please contact member outreach, expansion of current key programs, con- David Binet at [email protected], or for more tinued increases in member participation, and the strategic information on our programs you may contact introduction of a select combination of sponsorship and Brad Wardlow at [email protected]. program opportunities.

    The Phenomenological Aesthetics of the French Action Film

    Les Sensations fortes: The phenomenological aesthetics of the French action film DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Alexander Roesch Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Flinn, Advisor Patrick Bray Dana Renga Copyrighted by Matthew Alexander Roesch 2017 Abstract This dissertation treats les sensations fortes, or “thrills”, that can be accessed through the experience of viewing a French action film. Throughout the last few decades, French cinema has produced an increasing number of “genre” films, a trend that is remarked by the appearance of more generic variety and the increased labeling of these films – as generic variety – in France. Regardless of the critical or even public support for these projects, these films engage in a spectatorial experience that is unique to the action genre. But how do these films accomplish their experiential phenomenology? Starting with the appearance of Luc Besson in the 1980s, and following with the increased hybrid mixing of the genre with other popular genres, as well as the recurrence of sequels in the 2000s and 2010s, action films portray a growing emphasis on the importance of the film experience and its relation to everyday life. Rather than being direct copies of Hollywood or Hong Kong action cinema, French films are uniquely sensational based on their spectacular visuals, their narrative tendencies, and their presentation of the corporeal form. Relying on a phenomenological examination of the action film filtered through the philosophical texts of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, Mikel Dufrenne, and Jean- Luc Marion, in this dissertation I show that French action cinema is pre-eminently concerned with the thrill that comes from the experience, and less concerned with a ii political or ideological commentary on the state of French culture or cinema.

    religions Article Love Thy Extra-Terrestrial Neighbour: Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson’s Space Operas The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) Sylvie Magerstädt School of Humanities, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts AL10 9EU, UK; [email protected] Received: 13 August 2018; Accepted: 20 September 2018; Published: 27 September 2018 Abstract: The role of romantic love in cinema–and its redeeming aspects–has been extensively explored in film studies and beyond. However, non-romantic aspects of love, especially love for the neighbour, have not yet received as much attention. This is particularly true when looking at mainstream science fiction cinema. This is surprising as the interstellar outlook of many of these films and consequently the interaction with a whole range of new ‘neighbours’ raises an entirely new set of challenges. In this article, the author explores these issues with regard to Luc Besson’s science fiction spectacles The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). Both films have divided fans and critics and it is indeed easy to dismiss them as mere spectacle with little depth or message, as many reviewers have done. Yet, as this article demonstrates, beneath their shiny, colourful surface, both films make a distinct contribution to the theme of neighbourly love. What is more, Besson’s films often seem to develop a close link between more common notions of romantic love and agapic forms of love and thus offer a perspective of exploring our relationship to the alien as our neighbour.

    It started as a way to take my video store background, and create a SHAREABLE list of those go-to films that I recommend/would be happy to watch again (and again). now it’s well over one hundred. And I just thought of another a minute ago. They cover pretty much all genres. And hopefully vintages. Though it takes a while for something to become a classic. The categorizing symbols are something that I ‘borrowed’ from Neil French, and his: ‘cut! 100 greatest movie scenes’. But was granted permission. Thanks Neil. Though the icons are just rough guides. My opinions really. as Some of these films are too hard to pigeonhole. But they’re definitely worth watching. More than once. Enjoy.
