February 20-25 February 20-25 Welcome to the 2004 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival! We are extremely pleased to bring an exciting line-up of first-rate documentary films to Missoula as part of the first-ever non-fiction film festival in Montana. This year’s selections include documentary classics, Academy Award- nominated films, new films from first-time producers and documentaries that richly deserve increased recognition and a wider audience. Most of the films at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival will be Montana premiers and several will be United States or World Premiers. Films range in length from 30 second shorts to a 350 minute, six-part series. Countries of origin include Slovakia, Germany, Australia, USA, Canada, and Palestine. The topics covered are extremely diverse and tell stories from all over the globe. Original formats range from 35mm film (the Hollywood standard) to a digital still camera set on movie mode. Despite the vast disparities in budget, format, length, country of origin, and topic, the selected films share one over-arching commonality: dedication to artistry and exploration of cultural themes. In putting out our call for entries, we hoped for documentaries with compelling subject matter, high entertainment value, and innovative treatments that address pertinent social issues. The response we received was overwhelming, and more than we could have hoped for. A special thank you to all the filmmakers who submitted films to the festival. We are hon- ored and humbled to have the opportunity to share with Missoula this wonderful collection of documentary films. Doug Hawes-Davis Festival Director Awards and Judging Awards will be given in three categories: Best Feature Documentary: over 50 minutes long, released after September 30, 2002. Best Short Documentary: under 50 minutes long, released after September 30, 2002.

  • Joe Matheny, a Founding Father Culture Jammer, Was Kind Enough to Give What He Called His "Last Interview" Online to Escape
    9/11/2014 escape.htm Joe Matheny, a founding father Culture Jammer, was kind enough to give what he called his "last interview" online to Escape. Now happily working towards his pension in an anonymous programmer's job, Joe famously spammed the White House with a bunch of email frogs and caused uproar in American media society with his many japes. But why did it get all serious? And why are none of the original CJers talking to each other? What follows is the unedited version of the interview published in December 1997's Escape. All the hotlinks are Joe's. So who started Culture Jamming as a phenomenon, and why? Boy, that's a loaded question! No, really. It depends on who you ask. Personally I trace the roots of media pranking, or "culture jamming" as it's known these days, to people like Orson Welles and his famous "War of the Worlds" broadcast in America, or even his lesser known film "F is for Fake". More recently, a scientist by the name of Harold Garfinkle conducted something called breaching experiments, in which he studied the flexbility of peoples belief systems by fabricating stories and then guaging peoples reaction to them.He called this field of study Ethnomethodology and popularized it in his book Studies in Ethnomethodology. Garfinkle would incrementally make the his stories wilder and more speculative until the subjects would finally reach a point of disbelief. (in other words Garfinkle perpetrated lies, and then "pushed the envelope" with his subjects) In the 60s CJ was taken to a whole new level by two very differnet groups.

  • Revolutionary Theatricality: Dramatized American Protest, 1967-1968
    Revolutionary Theatricality: Dramatized American Protest, 1967-1968 Angela Rothman University of Oregon Rothman 1 American protest against the political and social establishment grew between the years 1967 and 1968 because dramatic aspects of rebellion manifested in theatrical methods. Prominent examples of these protests include the San Francisco Mime Troupe, the production of Paradise Now by the Living Theatre, the Broadway cast production of the musical Hair, and the Festival of Life by the Yippie Movement1 at the Chicago Democratic National Convention. During this intense period of domestic conflict, these activists embraced the revolutions of radical theater as visible forms of protest. Theatrical performance is a major presentation performed by actors and interpreted by audiences, both politically and socially. In an America embroiled in war and cultural conflict, the actors in social groups used revolutionary strategies to express the need for changes in society. Naomi Feigelson’s The Underground Revolution: Hippies, Yippies, and Others argues that politics meshed with theater in “the insistence on involvement, the need for each person to feel part of life.” 2 Doing so made “the spectator part of the action, [in] a drive for liberation and personal expression.” 3 Both Broadway and off-Broadway theater companies, as well as activists like the Yippies, created a platform for their messages and invited spectators to join the drama. While political theater was not a new art form, experimental theater methods decisively influenced performative protests in the late 1960s. They demonstrated their theatrical protest in the call to, and act of, revolution. Stephan Mark Halpern writes that as “the war in Vietnam dragged on and on it seemed to expose the unresponsiveness of government and the weaknesses in American society;” this instability coupled with social repression made a volatile mixture.

  • Hollywood Be Thy Name
    UC_Weisenfeld.qxd 11/1/06 2:58 PM Page 19 one .“’Taint What You Was, It’s What You Is Today” Hallelujah and the Politics of Racial Authenticity In 1928 King Vidor, one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s most successful directors, find- ing himself between projects, decided to spend some time in Europe. Having directed a number of important and successful silent films for the studio—most notably The Big Parade (1925), a tremendously popular World War I epic, and The Crowd (1928), a study of the life of an average man in the large urban environment of New York City—Vidor returned home when the studio asked him to direct his first sound film. Despite his initial predictions that “sound pictures [would] do away entirely with the art of motion pictures,” Vidor soon began to see the possibilities that the new technology presented and was especially excited that sound would make it possible for him to direct a film that he had long wanted to make.1 Synchronous sound, in which the dialogue or singing corresponds with the movements of the actors’ lips, had only begun to make its way into American feature films since the 1927 release of Warner Bros.’ landmark film The Jazz Singer, itself very much about complex processes of racializing religion in America.2 Just as the projection of con- structions of race had been part of the development of the silent motion picture, as D. W. Griffith’s 1915 The Birth of a Nation had ably demonstrated, so the addition of sound had been bound up in conjunctions of religion and race from the outset.
