Join us as we celebrate the infinite spirit of creativity and the boundless possibilities of storytelling over the next 11 days. As home to the largest public film festival in the world, Toronto sets the perfect stage for the world to embrace the power of cinema. Multicultural, inclusive, and engaging, our city provides a sense of place and belonging for thousands of people who travel across the globe to experience the PIERS HANDLING Festival as one community. Director & TIFF, like Toronto, is a kaleidoscope of diverse people, cultures, and stories woven Chief Executive Ocer into moving images that have the ability to transform, unite, and move us. The form TIFF these stories take continues to evolve — shape-shifting through a multitude of mediums and platforms. Expanding beyond the frame and living within it, cinema oers endless perspectives. The Festival continues to bring you the evolution of storytelling as it travels from film and installations to television and new media, and now into virtual reality. This year we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Lagos, Nigeria, for our City to City programme. Nigeria has one of the most prolific film industries in the world, with a new generation of ambitious, complex, and bold filmmakers. These burgeoning, electric voices are challenging norms and advancing artistic expression, and we are excited to share Lagos’ boom of inspiring storytellers as part of the Festival’s international cinematic landscape. As we come together to share and experience extraordinary artistic works from around the world, and as Toronto buzzes with visionary artists, industry icons, and MICHÈLE MAHEUX engaged audiences, we wish to thank all those who made it possible: our tireless sta, Executive Director & passionate Volunteers, and dedicated Board of Directors, as well as our generous Chief Operating Ocer donors, Members, sponsors, partners, and supporters who share our commitment in TIFF celebrating the best in moving images. The Festival welcomes you to discover infinite views with us! Outfitting for Mr. Handling & Mr. Bailey provided by Hugo Boss. Outfitting for Ms. Maheux generously provided by Birks, Zanesha Gowrali Designs, Mark Belford Couture and Kala Scarves.

    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

  • Videography and Photography: Critical Thinking, Ethics and Knowledge-Based Practice in Visual Media
    Videography and photography: Critical thinking, ethics and knowledge-based practice in visual media Storytelling through videography and photography can form the basis for journalism that is both consequential and high impact. Powerful images can shape public opinion and indeed change the world, but with such power comes substantial ethical and intellectual responsibility. The training that prepares journalists to do this work, therefore, must meaningfully integrate deep analytical materials and demand rigorous critical thinking. Students must not only have proficient technical skills but also must know their subject matter deeply and understand the deeper implications of their journalistic choices in selecting materials. This course gives aspiring visual journalists the opportunity to hone critical-thinking skills and devise strategies for addressing multimedia reporting’s ethical concerns on a professional level. It instills values grounded in the best practices of traditional journalism while embracing the latest technologies, all through knowledge-based, hands-on instruction. Learning objectives This course introduces the principles of critical thinking and ethical awareness in nonfiction visual storytelling. Students who take this course will: Learn the duties and rights of journalists in the digital age. Better understand the impact of images and sound on meaning. Develop a professional process for handling multimedia reporting’s ethical challenges. Generate and translate ideas into ethically sound multimedia projects. Understand how to combine responsible journalism with entertaining and artistic storytelling. Think and act as multimedia journalists, producing accurate and balanced stories — even ones that take a point of view. Course design This syllabus is built around the concept of groups of students going through the complete process of producing a multimedia story and writing journal entries about ethical concerns that surface during its development and execution.

  • Recommended Movies and Television Programs Featuring Psychotherapy and People with Mental Disorders Timothy C
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenKnowledge@NAU Recommended Movies and Television Programs Featuring Psychotherapy and People with Mental Disorders Timothy C. Thomason Abstract This paper provides a list of 200 feature films and five television programs that may be of special interest to counselors, psychologists and other mental health professionals. Many feature characters who portray psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, or psychotherapists. Many of them also feature characters who have, or may have, mental disorders. In addition to their entertainment value, these videos can be seen as fictional case studies, and counselors can practice diagnosing the disorders of the characters and consider whether the treatments provided are appropriate. It can be both educational and entertaining for counselors, psychologists, and others to view films that portray psychotherapists and people with mental disorders. It should be noted that movies rarely depict either therapists or people with mental disorders in an accurate manner (Ramchandani, 2012). Most movies are made for entertainment value rather than educational value. For example, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a wonderfully entertaining Academy Award-winning film, but it contains a highly inaccurate portrayal of electroconvulsive therapy. It can be difficult or impossible for a viewer to ascertain the disorder of characters in movies, since they are not usually realistic portrayals of people with mental disorders. Likewise, depictions of mental health professionals in the movies are usually very exaggerated or distorted, and often include behaviors that would be considered violations of professional ethical standards. Even so, psychology students and psychotherapists may find some of these movies interesting as examples of what not to do.

  • The Kid Stays in the Picture Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com The Kid Stays in the Picture Discussion Guide Directors: Nanette Burstein, Brett Morgen Year: 2002 Time: 93 min You might know these directors from: Going the Distance (2010) American Teen (2008) On the Ropes (1999) FILM SUMMARY Based on his best-selling autobiography, Oscar-nominated film, THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE, takes us through the extraordinary life and career of boy wonder film producer, Robert Evans. Despite his reputation of being a bullshitter’s bullshitter, Evans exposes his highs and lows with all honesty, along with large doses of self- reflection and deprecation. Evans was the driving force behind some of the greatest films to ever come out of Hollywood, including Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, Godfather I and II, Harold and Maude, and a jaw-droppingly impressive list of others. To hear his tales about how these films were made - and the drama behind the scenes - is riveting. Unique in documentary filmmaking, Evans speaks ‘to’ the camera, narrating the story in his distinctive old- Hollywood style while liberally employing the use of out-dated hipsterisms such as ‘dame’, ‘broad’ and ‘buckeroos’. His remarkable collection of photographs become almost film-like, giving the viewer a unique view into his life, as well as into some of Hollywood’s golden periods. It is the friends, enemies, lovers, haters, admirers and many others in Evans’ network who create the fabric of this story. Everyone made their mark on him in some way, and by the film’s end, we understand why the kid was able to stay in the picture, despite some extraordinary falls from grace.

    Prologue he wins the decisive game, but she has no idea what it means. Nobody has told her what’s at stake, so she just plays, like she Salways does. She has no idea she has qualified to compete at the Olympiad. No idea what the Olympiad is. No idea that her qualifying means that in a few months she will fly to the city of Khanty-Mansiysk in remote central Russia. No idea where Russia even is. When she learns all of this, she asks only one question: “Is it cold there?” She travels to the Olympiad with nine teammates, all of them a decade older, in their twenties, and even though she has known many of them for a while and ljourneys by their side for 27 hours across the globe to Siberia, none of her teammates really have any idea where she is from or where she aspires to go, because Phiona Mutesi is from someplace where girls like her don’t talk about that. 19th sept. 2010 Dear mum, I went to the airport.
