  • The Unknown Known by Errol Morris: Quebec Premiere at Docville Thursday, April 24, 8 P.M., Cinéma Excentris
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION The Unknown Known by Errol Morris: Quebec premiere at Docville Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m., Cinéma Excentris Montreal, Thursday, April 10, 2014 – The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is proud to present the Quebec premiere of The Unknown Known by Errol Morris, the fourth monthly Docville screening of 2014. Morris is the internationally acclaimed director of such films as The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line. In 2003, Errol Morris won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for The Fog of War, in which former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara reflected on his career. A decade later, the filmmaker interviewed Donald Rumsfeld, who held the same position under George W. Bush. Armed with thousands of memos written by Rumsfeld during his long White House career (which began during the Nixon/Ford administration), Morris questions the controversial political figure on thorny topics like the invasion of Iraq under false pretences and the use of torture at Abu Ghraib. Staring down the camera without ever losing his aloof smile, Rumsfeld tackles every question with rhetorical poise as hypnotic as the film’s music, by Danny Elfman. Shown at the Venice, Telluride and Toronto festivals, The Unknown Known is a gripping verbal duel that leaves the historical truth more elusive than ever. THE UNKNOWN KNOWN Directed by Errol Morris. United States. 2013. 103 min. In English. Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m., Cinéma Excentris The film is distributed by Les Films Séville, an Entertainment One company. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcZ2‐sEb3o Online ticket purchase: https://excentris.ticketacces.net/fr/organisation/representations/index.cfm?EvenementID=511 Since 2012, the RIDM’s Docville series, presented on the last Thursday of every month, has given audiences the chance to see Montreal premieres of excellent documentaries that have enjoyed recent success at the world’s most prestigious festivals.

  • The Satanic Rituals Anton Szandor Lavey
    The Rites of Lucifer On the altar of the Devil up is down, pleasure is pain, darkness is light, slavery is freedom, and madness is sanity. The Satanic ritual cham- ber is die ideal setting for the entertainment of unspoken thoughts or a veritable palace of perversity. Now one of the Devil's most devoted disciples gives a detailed account of all the traditional Satanic rituals. Here are the actual texts of such forbidden rites as the Black Mass and Satanic Baptisms for both adults and children. The Satanic Rituals Anton Szandor LaVey The ultimate effect of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. -Herbert Spencer - CONTENTS - INTRODUCTION 11 CONCERNING THE RITUALS 15 THE ORIGINAL PSYCHODRAMA-Le Messe Noir 31 L'AIR EPAIS-The Ceremony of the Stifling Air 54 THE SEVENTH SATANIC STATEMENT- Das Tierdrama 76 THE LAW OF THE TRAPEZOID-Die elektrischen Vorspiele 106 NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN-Homage to Tchort 131 PILGRIMS OF THE AGE OF FIRE- The Statement of Shaitan 151 THE METAPHYSICS OF LOVECRAFT- The Ceremony of the Nine Angles and The Call to Cthulhu 173 THE SATANIC BAPTISMS-Adult Rite and Children's Ceremony 203 THE UNKNOWN KNOWN 219 The Satanic Rituals INTRODUCTION The rituals contained herein represent a degree of candor not usually found in a magical curriculum. They all have one thing in common-homage to the elements truly representative of the other side. The Devil and his works have long assumed many forms. Until recently, to Catholics, Protestants were devils. To Protes- tants, Catholics were devils.

  • Mike Gunton Creative Director, BBC Studios' Natural History Unit
    Mike Gunton Creative Director, BBC Studios’ Natural History Unit Media Masters – January 30, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Mike Gunton, creative director of the BBC’s Natural History Unit. Mike is responsible for bringing new and pioneering stories about the natural world to global audiences, including the BAFTA and Emmy-winning Planet Earth II, which was viewed by millions worldwide. In 2018, his groundbreaking animal behaviour series, Dynasties, also picked up a raft of awards and was recognised by Sir David Attenborough as inventing a new genre in natural history filmmaking. A fellow of the Royal Television Society, he also speaks internationally as an ambassador for natural history filmmaking, the BBC, and the natural world. Mike, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Nice to be here. How on earth did you get into all this lark then? Well, actually, I’d always wanted to be in television, but not necessarily in wildlife filmmaking. Although I must say, David Attenborough was a bit of an inspiration as a kid, seeing him on Life on Earth, I think it was. And now you’re his boss. Well, yes. If only! And actually, funnily enough, Clive James. It was quite poignant when I saw that he had passed away. Sadly missed, yes. I used to like reading his reviews in the paper, and him talking about television just got me interested in television as a teenager really.

  • Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (Eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang
    Morgan Richards (forthcoming 2013) ‘Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang. GREENING WILDLIFE DOCUMENTARY Morgan Richards The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming that, to reflect reality, it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film. That, of course, would be neither entertaining nor ultimately dramatic. So it seems that as filmmakers we are doomed either to fail our audience or fail our cause. — Stephen Mills (1997) Five years before the BBC’s Frozen Planet was first broadcast in 2011, Sir David Attenborough publically announced his belief in human-induced global warming. “My message is that the world is warming, and that it’s our fault,” he declared on the BBC’s Ten O’Clock News in May 2006. This was the first statement, both in the media and in his numerous wildlife series, in which he didn’t hedge his opinion, choosing to focus on slowly accruing scientific data rather than ruling definitively on the causes and likely environmental impacts of climate change. Frozen Planet, a seven-part landmark documentary series, produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and largely co-financed by the Discovery Channel, was heralded by many as Attenborough’s definitive take on climate change. It followed a string of big budget, multipart wildlife documentaries, known in the industry as landmarks1, which broke with convention to incorporate narratives on complex environmental issues such as habitat destruction, species extinction and atmospheric pollution. David Attenborough’s The State of the Planet (2000), a smaller three-part series, was the first wildlife documentary to deal comprehensively with environmental issues on a global scale.
