ANNUAL REPORT — 2016 a GREAT LEAP FORWARD Austin Film Society 1901 East 51St Street Austin, TX 78723 512.322.0145 Austinfilm.Org to OUR STAKEHOLDERS ANNUAL REPORT — 2016 A GREAT LEAP FORWARD Austin Film Society 1901 East 51st Street Austin, TX 78723 512.322.0145 austinfilm.org TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS The Austin Film Society has long held the dream of our own full-time cinema, a local place where people can assemble to communally explore all that international film culture has to offer. This was the year we took action on that dream and signed a long-term lease with The Linc to create the AFS Cinema. Two full-time screens will support interesting, challenging and entertaining cinematic events, lovingly curated by our brilliant team of programmers. A kitchen, lobby bar and event hall will support community gatherings and provide extra income to supplement ticket sales. The AFS Cinema was not AFS’s only program expansion in fiscal 2016. We also opened Austin Public, a 7,000-square-foot television studio in East Austin open to anyone in Austin who wants to explore filmmaking. By virtue of a contract with the City of Austin, AFS is able to offer classes, studio space and equipment at an incredibly low barrier to entry, and distribute locally made work on our channels and website. Additionally, we are making progress on plans for building out the former National Guard Armory into a creative media hub with the help of the 2012 bonds. Our facilities team expects to have schematic designs to show in 2017 as well as a plan for obtaining the $3.5 million-plus needed to create a fully functioning building. Meanwhile at AFS, it’s business as usual, with our instructors delivering youth media programs at under-resourced schools in Austin and our programmers planning screenings at various beloved Austin theaters while the AFS Cinema is dark for renovations (November 2016 –Spring 2017). We have compiled the stories and statistics presented in this annual report to inspire our members and donors and make you proud. We look forward to connecting in 2017 at one of our three locations — Austin Studios, Austin Public, and the AFS Cinema — as well as around town. We appreciate our members, donors and customers for participating in all of these programs and supporting these initiatives, helping realize the vision that Austin will be synonymous with great film.

Their nomadic film series became a staple of Austin’s DIY creative culture and strengthened the local film community by fostering a love of global cinema. AFS AT THE MARCHESA In 2013, after years of nomadic programming, AFS made a decisive move to invest in a single-screen space as a partnership with the Marchesa Hall and Theater, located at the Linc complex in the Highland neighborhood. Through this move, the Film Society was able to double our offerings and grow our community. Today’s Film Society screenings bring together a community of filmmakers and film lovers and have become an essential element of Austin’s unique culture, a place where we honor and celebrate our city’s deep appreciation of film. THE AFS CINEMA In 2016, it looked like AFS might lose the space that had allowed our programs to flourish, until two of our most dedicated supporters stepped up to make the largest gift ever in our organization’s history. Their donation allowed AFS to establish our permanent future home for film screenings and take over the lease to the theater at the Linc this past spring. In November, we begin construction, and in the spring of 2017 the space reopens as a full-time repertory and art house cinema complete with a second screen, renovated lobby, and updated special event space. 4 AUSTIN’S HOME FOR GLOBAL CINEMA ↑ Founding AFS board member, professor and author Charles Ramírez Berg presented three works of Classical Mexican Cinema, including DISTINTO AMANECER, Mexico’s first film noir. ↑ World-class retrospectives graced the silver screen at the AFS Cinema, including series featuring the work of Chantal Akerman, Roberto Rossellini, Maurice Pialat, Wim Wenders and Blake Edwards. → 5 SCIENCE ON SCREEN AFS HOSTS NEW EUROPEAN FILMMAKERS AFS participated in the national Science on Screen program, In June, AFS welcomed four new European directors to Austin as in which we presented science-themed films and hosted post- part of our annual partnership with the Premiers Plans Festival screening discussions with practicing scientists and science of Angers, France.

AFS celebrated the release of Richard Linklater’s ‘80s college comedy, EVERYBODY WANTS SOME! with the director and cast in person. The after-party recreated scenes from the film, including an epic ping pong tournament. ↓ 6 “I can earnestly say that the AFS LEARN program has been one of the very best things about moving to Austin.” - James McNulty, Graduate Student THE LEARN PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE FILM TICKETS TO STUDENTS AFS’s LEARN program became a fundamental resource for STUDENTS ENROLLED IN students to get their film education on the big screen. The 638 LEARN PROGRAM program — established in 2014 when Sony Pictures Classics Co- President Michael Barker made a gift in honor of his fellow UT classmate and good friend Ed Lowry — provides free tickets to students at every regular AFS screening. TICKETS ISSUED THROUGH 1239 THE LEARN PROGRAM ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: ETHAN HAWKE Ethan Hawke was the subject of the Austin Film Society’s 2016 Artist Spotlight, which included an insightful Q&A with Hawke after a special screening of Sidney Lumet’s BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD.

  • Music from Peter Gunn
    “The Music from ‘Peter Gunn’”--Henry Mancini (1958) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Mark A. Robinson (guest post)* Henry Mancini Henry Mancini (1924-1994) was the celebrated composer of a parade of song standards, particularly remembered for his work in television and film composition. Among his sparkling array of memorable melodies are the music for “The Pink Panther” films, the “Love Theme from ‘Romeo and Juliet’,” and his two Academy Award-winning collaborations with lyricist Johnny Mercer, “Moon River” for the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” and the title song for the 1962 feature “Days of Wine and Roses.” Born Enrico Nicola Mancini in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, Henry Mancini was raised in West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Though his father wished his son to become a teacher, Mancini was inspired by the music of Hollywood, particularly that of the 1935 Cecil B. DeMille film “The Crusades.” This fascination saw him embark on a lifelong journey into composition. His first instrument of choice was the piccolo, but soon he drifted toward the piano, studying under Pittsburgh concert pianist and Stanley Theatre conductor Max Adkins. Upon graduating high school, Mancini matriculated at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, but quickly transferred to the Julliard School of Music, concentrating his studies in piano, orchestration, and composition. When America entered World War II, Mancini enlisted in the United States Army in 1943. Assigned to the 28th Air Force Band, he made many connections in the music industry that would serve him well in the post-war years.

  • A Film by David Gordon Green
    PRESENTS JOE A FILM BY DAVID GORDON GREEN 2013 Venice Film Festival 2013 Deauville American Film Festival 2013 Toronto International Film Festival 2013 Zurich Film Festival RUNNING TIME: 117 Minutes INTERNATIONAL SALES WestEnd Films - [email protected] U.S. SALES CAA - [email protected] PRESS CONTACT DDA Public Relations - [email protected] 02 Synopsis A gripping mix of friendship, violence and redemption erupts in the contemporary South in this adaptation of Larry Brown’s novel, celebrated at once for its grit and its deeply moving core. Directed by David Gordon Green (PRINCE AVALANCHE, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, UNDERTOW, ALL THE REAL GIRLS), the film brings Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage back to his indie roots in the title role as the hard-living, hot-tempered, ex-con Joe Ransom, who is just trying to dodge his instincts for trouble – until he meets a hard-luck kid, (Tye Sheridan) (MUD, TREE OF LIFE) who awakens in him a fierce and tender-hearted protector. The story begins as Joe hires teenaged Gary Jones and his destitute father onto his “tree- poisoning” crew for a lumber company. Joe might be notoriously reckless with his pick-up, his dog and especially with women, but he sees something in Gary that gets to him: a determination, a raw decency and a sense of resilience he can barely believe in anymore. Gary has truly had nothing in life – he’s never spent a day at school – yet something drives him to take care of his family, to keep his sister safe when his father turns monstrous, to hang onto hope of a better future.

    Name_____________________ Date__________________ Film & Literature Mr. Corbo Film & Literature “Underneath their surfaces, all movies, even the most blatantly commercial ones, contain layers of complexity and meaning that can be studied, analyzed and appreciated.” --Richard Barsam, Looking at Movies Curriculum Outline Form and Function: To equip students, by raising their awareness of the development and complexities of the cinema, to read and write about films as trained and informed viewers. From this base, students can progress to a deeper understanding of film and the proper in-depth study of cinema. By the end of this course, you will have a deeper sense of the major components of film form and function and also an understanding of the “language” of film. You will write essays which will discuss and analyze several of the films we will study using accurate vocabulary and language relating to cinematic methods and techniques. Just as an author uses literary devices to convey ideas in a story or novel, filmmakers use specific techniques to present their ideas on screen in the world of the film.

  • The Art of David Lynch
    The Art of David Lynch weil das Kino heute wieder anders funktioniert; für ei- nen wie ihn ist da kein Platz. Aber deswegen hat Lynch ja nicht seine Kunst aufgegeben, und nicht einmal das Filmen. Es ist nur so, dass das Mainstream-Kino den Kaperversuch durch die Kunst ziemlich fundamental abgeschlagen hat. Jetzt den Filmen von David Lynch noch einmal wieder zu begegnen, ist ein Glücksfall. Danach muss man sich zum Fernsehapparat oder ins Museum bemühen. (Und grimmig die Propaganda des Künstlers für den Unfug transzendentaler Meditation herunterschlucken; »nobody is perfect.«) Was also ist das Besondere an David Lynch? Seine Arbeit geschah und geschieht nach den »Spielregeln der Kunst«, die bekanntlich in ihrer eigenen Schöpfung und zugleich in ihrem eigenen Bruch bestehen. Man er- kennt einen David-Lynch-Film auf Anhieb, aber niemals David Lynch hat David Lynch einen »David-Lynch-Film« gedreht. Be- 21 stimmte Motive (sagen wir: Stehlampen, Hotelflure, die Farbe Rot, Hauchgesänge von Frauen, das industrielle Rauschen, visuelle Americana), bestimmte Figuren (die Frau im Mehrfachleben, der Kobold, Kyle MacLachlan als Stellvertreter in einer magischen Biographie - weni- ger, was ein Leben als vielmehr, was das Suchen und Was ist das Besondere an David Lynch? Abgesehen Erkennen anbelangt, Väter und Polizisten), bestimmte davon, dass er ein paar veritable Kultfilme geschaffen Plot-Fragmente (die nie auflösbare Intrige, die Suche hat, Filme, wie ERASERHEAD, BLUE VELVET oder die als Sturz in den Abgrund, die Verbindung von Gewalt TV-Serie TWIN PEAKS, die aus merkwürdigen Gründen und Design) kehren in wechselnden Kompositionen (denn im klassischen Sinn zu »verstehen« hat sie ja nie wieder, ganz zu schweigen von Techniken wie dem jemand gewagt) die genau richtigen Bilder zur genau nicht-linearen Erzählen, dem Eindringen in die ver- richtigen Zeit zu den genau richtigen Menschen brach- borgenen Innenwelten von Milieus und Menschen, der ten, und abgesehen davon, dass er in einer bestimmten Grenzüberschreitung von Traum und Realität.
