  • Mark Ivanir | Biography
    MARK IVANIR | BIOGRAPHY Mark Ivanir has been working as a professional film and television actor in Los Angeles since 2001. His first major film role was in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar winning epic SCHINDLER'S LIST. He rejoined with Spielberg twice, first for a cameo appearance in TERMINAL, then again for THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN. A pivotal role in Robert De Niro's 2006 film, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, landed Mark a role in Barry Levinson's WHAT JUST HAPPENED, this time acting alongside De Niro. Many films followed. Mark has booked over 35 Guest Star and Guest Lead roles on television. Ivanir's road to Hollywood was circuitous at best. Born in the communist Ukraine, he immigrated to Israel with his family in 1972. After being cast by Spielberg in SCHINDLER'S LIST, Ivanir moved to London to study with Philippe Gaulier and the actors of the Theater De Complicite. During this stint, he landed roles in THE MAN WHO CRIED (with Johnny Depp) and SECRET AFFAIR which encouraged him to relocate to Hollywood. Ever since, Mark has been working on films in the US, in Europe and in Israel. In Germany he has been working with Dennis Gansel on THE FOURTH STATE and with Dominik Graf on the highly acclaimed mini-series IN THE FACE OF THE CRIME. In Europe, Mark was also working with Fernando Meirelles on his episodic feature film 360. Most recently, Mark co-starred alongside Catherine Keener, Philipp Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken in A LATE QUARTET. Mark currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.

  • Chyutin-Harris-Intro.Pdf
    ISRAELI CINEMA BEYOND THE NATIONAL An Introduction Rachel S. Harris Dan Chyutin I had first heard of the Land of Israel in 1925 and, at once, I realized the impor- tance of letting the world know the special timbre of the country, its unique scenery and quality. The solution, in my opinion, was the production of films and I at once got in touch with various companies in that field. It was my intention to establish an independent film center in the Jewish territory of Palestine.1 Margot Klausner’s first foray into the film industry was withLand of Promise (1933), a propaganda documentary she co-funded that represented not only the Jewish settlement in Mandatory Palestine but also the historic and religious diversity of the country. While aiming to capture an authentic view of local realities, the film was conceived from the outset as catering to international audience’s tastes. The internalization of these transnational concerns for both Jewish audiences who could be motivated to contribute to the Zionist projects and world audiences who could be made sympa- thetic to Jewish causes, particularly the desire for a national homeland in Palestine, shaped both the production and reception of Land of Promise. As Klausner discusses in her memoir, The Dream Industry, the realization of this film depended upon support from multiple institutional actors, inves- tors, and artists. Her first documentary was only made possible because of the interest shown by the European Zionist Congress, who had learned of the enthusiasm of Leo Hermann, the general secretary of the Israeli fund- raising organization Keren Hayesod, toward such a project.

  • Schindlers Liste (USA, 1993)
    Schindlers Liste (USA, 1993) Zum Inhalt des Films Oskar Schindler, Sudetendeutscher, Katholik und NSDAP‐Mitglied, reist mit der Absicht ins deutsch besetzte Polen, dort von der Kriegssituation zu profitieren. In Krakau ermöglichen ihm seine Verbindungen in hohe Nazi‐Kreise, sich mit Taktik und Skrupellosigkeit eine vormals jüdische Fabrik zur Herstellung von Emaillewaren anzueignen, wo er Juden als billige Arbeitskräfte einsetzt. Zunächst unfreiwillig bewahrt er dabei seine Belegschaft vor dem deutschen Terror und der drohenden Deportation. Seine auf größtmöglichen Profit ausgerichtete Geisteshaltung ändert sich erst nach und nach, als ihm die Ausmaße der Judenverfolgung bewusst werden und er schließlich mit deren gezielter Vernichtung konfrontiert wird. Nach der Liquidierung des Krakauer Ghettos und der Verbringung der Einwohner ins Lager Plaszów beginnt Schindler, sich für die Arbeiter seiner Fabrik einzusetzen. Als 1944 allen Lagerinsassen die Vernichtung droht, erstellt Schindler mit Hilfe seines Buchhalters die titelgebende Namensliste, mit der rund 1.100 Juden der NS‐ Vernichtungsmaschinerie entzogen werden. Es gelingt ihm sogar, den Rücktransport des nach Auschwitz gelenkten Zuges seiner Arbeiterinnen zu veranlassen. Schindler zieht mit Fabrik und Belegschaft aus Krakau nach Brünnlitz ins Sudetenland, wo sie das Kriegsende erleben.

  • The Father Production Notes 30 October 2020 *Amended*
    THE FATHER PRODUCTION NOTES 30 OCTOBER 2020 *AMENDED* INTRODUCTION THE FATHER is drawn from the stage play of the same name, which was written by Florian Zeller and launched in Paris in 2012, winning a Moliere Award for Best Play, before hitting Broadway and London’s West End, where it won both Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Actor (for Frank Langella and Kenneth Cranham respectively). Zeller directed the film adaptation - his feature debut - filmed in London, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Christopher Hampton (ATONEMENT, DANGEROUS LIAISONS). Alongside Oscar®-winners Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, rounding out the film’s cast are Mark Gatiss (THE FAVOURITE, TV’s Sherlock), Imogen Poots (GREEN ROOM, A LONG WAY DOWN), Rufus Sewell (JUDY, TV’s The Man in the High Castle) and Olivia Williams (VICTORIA & ABDUL, AN EDUCATION). In THE FATHER, Hopkins plays the eponymous role of a mischievous and highly independent man who, as he ages, refuses all assistance from his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman). Yet, such help has become essential following Anne’s decision to move to Paris with her partner. As Anne’s father tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality. THE FATHER is a Trademark Films, F Comme Film, Ciné-@, and Les Films du Cru co-production, produced by David Parfitt (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE), Jean-Louis Livi (READ MY LIPS, UN COEUR EN HIVER) and Philippe Carcassonne (COCO BEFORE CHANEL, RIDICULE). Also producing are financier Christophe Spadone for Les Films du Cru and the stage play’s London producer Simon Friend for SFE.

Rushdie’s inspired adaptation of his own Booker Prize–winning novel follows the destinies of a pair of children born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very instant that India claimed its independence from Great Britain—and which, in Rushdie’s brilliant magic realist conceit, endows the children born on the same night as their country’s liberation with supernatural abilities ranging from flight to invisibility, with those born closest to midnight possessing the most powerful gift. “Handcuffed to history,” and switched at birth by a nurse in a Bombay hospital, Saleem Sinai (Satya Bhabha), the son of a poor single mother, and Shiva (Siddharth), scion of a wealthy family, are condemned to live out the fate intended for the other.
