Society for Animation Studies © 2014 SAS Newsletter, v30n1, p.1 President’s Report Nichola Dobson Hello SAS members. I have been looking back over the Autumn report to compare notes with our progress in the first half of 2017 with the last half of 2016. Though things have perhaps settled down a bit in terms of larger projects like the website rebuild, we have been plugging away behind the scenes. There is still some work to do on the site, to build on our fairly extensive history and legacy as a scholarly organization, which is now in its 30th year! We will be developing on this anniversary more over the coming year and next year at our 30th conference but I’m very pleased to be part of such a dynamic group and see it continue to evolve and grow. Watch out for more on this as the year goes on! We are moving rapidly towards our annual conference, this year in Padova, Italy with our fantastically organized host Marco Bellano. My tickets are booked and I am really excited to visit his beautiful town and catch up with you all, and of course hear all the papers! I’m sure we will be in for a busy, exciting and thought provoking conference in an historic setting. Our members continue to disseminate their research and practice around the world at a variety of events, not least the recent SCMS conference, in Chicago USA, and the BAFTSS conference in the UK. If you are attending large, interdisciplinary events and want to promote the SAS, please contact the board. It’s great to see animation studies gaining such prominence in the larger field of Screen Studies; it helps develop the discipline and gives members alternatives beyond our annual conference. I hope to see you in Italy, and remember to check in with us online: animationstudies.org twitter: @anistudies Facebook: @SocietyForAnimationStudies Best wishes Nichola Dobson President, SAS Society for Animation Studies © 2014 SAS Newsletter, v29n2, p.2 Membership Report Robert Musburger MEMBERSHIP NEWS IN BRIEF A total of 176 members internationally.

I hope this note finds everyone well and making their preparations for Padova! As promised, Volume 11 was our largest regular volume, with 14 excellent scholarly publications – a close second to our Animated Dialogues special issue: https://journal.animationstudies.org/category/volume-11/ We received many exciting submissions in January for Volume 12, and while I do admit to things being a little behind at the moment, there will be new papers published through May and June, in time to discuss them with your colleagues at the conference. As always, I am indebted to the efforts of the review board for their ongoing support and thorough feedback, and the managing editors in keeping everything up and running. The next call for papers will be in July, just following the conference. Send in your papers! Society for Animation Studies © 2014 SAS Newsletter, v29n2, p.3 If anyone is interested in getting involved in the journal’s operations, we are always open to new reviewers and other volunteers – please contact me via the email listed below. Best, Amy Dr. Amy Ratelle Editor, Animation Studies [email protected] 2017 EMRU TOWNSEND AWARDS Tom Klein Society for Animation Studies members may now apply for grant awards of 300€ for those presenting at this year's annual conference in Padova, Italy. All applicants should send an email that includes: 1) your short-version paper abstract that you submitted for the S.A.S. conference (priority will be given to presenters, though others may apply) 2) your particular need for monetary assistance (250 words or less, including budget) 3) your affiliation/status (student/faculty) with an academic institution or studio, if applicable. SAS supports submission from independent scholars. The Emru Townsend Award is specifically intended to offset some of the expenses for attending the conference held this July at University of Padova, Italy. This year there will be 6 awards given in total, three reserved for students. These grants are competitive for our members. Applicants must be currently registered members of the S.A.S. and must not have been awarded a travel grant from the S.A.S within the last 3 years. The monetary disbursement will occur at the conference. Any named recipient who does not attend will forfeit the award. The deadline to apply is May 28, 2017. The award recipients will be announced in June, after review by a selection committee. Applicants must send their request by email, Society for Animation Studies © 2014 SAS Newsletter, v29n2, p.4 adhering to the above guidelines (abstract/proposal, need, affiliation) to Tom Klein at [email protected] Please write your short application either entirely as an email message or attach a Word doc with the above information. DO NOT attach a pdf/Acrobat file since personal identifying information will need to be edited/redacted during the blind review process. When you send the email, use the subject line "Emru Townsend Application". The conference grant is named in the memory of our dear colleague, Emru Townsend, who remains an inspiration to all of us, for his many efforts promoting the study and appreciation of animation. Working Group Report Tony Tarantini The working group is open to SAS members who are interested in industry related inquiry and research. The ‘SAS friendly industry list’ idea has shown some potential. An example of this is the introduction of industry professionals -willing to be interviewed- to graduate students conducting production research. There is a tentative meeting scheduled for the Conference in Padua. Time and place will be made available at the conference. Anyone who is interested in attending the meeting is encouraged to come and join the discussion. Anyone interested in receiving correspondence from this group please contact [email protected] Animation Studies 2.0 Cristina Formenti Recently a few changes have occurred. Firstly, with Nichola returning from her maternity leave, Jacqueline Ristola, who has been co-editing the blog with me in her absence, has left. I wish to take this opportunity to thank her for all her work on the blog in the past months as well as for having so nicely taken care of the SAS social media pages. Society for Animation Studies © 2014 SAS Newsletter, v29n2, p.5 Secondarily, there is a novelty: while the blog will continue to have each month a new CFP on a particular and always different topic, a permanent call for posts has also been introduced. More precisely, from now on, aside from posts addressing each month’s specific theme, we accept for consideration on a rolling basis throughout the year posts illustrating the genesis of a recently completed animated work as well as reviews of animation-related books, conferences and festivals. Furthermore, it is now also possible to serve as a guest blogger. The rationale behind this choice is, on the one hand, to offer further possibilities for animation scholars and animators to enter into dialogue. On the other hand, the intent is to increase the volume of submissions so as to be able to steadily have new and diversified content each week. Indeed, we believe that both a rich offer and a standing appointment are important for a more regularly returning readership to develop, and we hope that the new opportunities we are offering will enable us to keep up with the current trend of publishing every week at least one new post.

According to the arrest report, Heldenbrand, 42, stole the money from Simmons and office partner Dr. Ernest J. Gesiotto while she worked as their office manager and bookkeeper. She reportedly forged her name on their business checks and then deposited the funds into her personal banking account. Simmons told police that when he confronted Heldenbrand about the thefts, she admitted that she had committed the crimes over a period of about 1 1/2 years, which is the length of time she was employed there. Simmons reported this to the police Feb. 8. A police investigation revealed well in excess of 10 business checks of Simmons that had been made payable to cash, with Simmons' signature forged on them. They were endorsed "For Deposit Only" to the personal account of Heldenbrand and her husband.

They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

A A mainstay of Saturday morning children’s programming, small snippets of it appear regularly in commercials,TVCrit.com credit sequences, music videos, news and sports, but there have been long stretches when there were no prime-time cartoon shows. After The Flintstones ended its original run in 1966 there wasn’t another successful prime-time show until 23 years later, when The Simpsons debuted. Since 1989 there has been something of a Renaissance in television animation. Numerous prime-time cartoon pro- grams have appeared and at least three cable channels have arisen that fea- ture cartoons—the Cartoon Network, Nickleodeon, and Toon Disney. And, of course, cartoons continue to dominate the TV ghettos of Saturday morn- ing and weekday afternoons. Although numerous new animated programs are now being created, many of the cartoons regularly telecast today were produced fifty, sixty, or even seventy years ago.
