Vyslyšeli jsme volání vás, fanoušků vědy a poznání, a rozšířili jsme počet festivalových míst na 17, včetně velkých sálů pro 400 diváků. V těch vás bude čekat hvězdná smršť filmů, kterých bude zdaleka nejvíce v celé historii AFO. Přivítáme také historicky nejvyšší počet hostů z ce- lého světa a celá řada z nich nám přijede představit nejzásadnější populárně-vědecké snímky natočené v loňském roce, jež se utkají o přízeň diváků i odborné poroty v naší dosud nejrozsáhlejší fes- tivalové soutěži. Ačkoliv jsme stejně jako vědci skeptičtí k teorii trvalého růstu, AFO roste rychleji než populace naší přelidněné planety. Snažíme se ovšem nebýt součástí problému, ale nabízet řešení, kterým je beze sporu věda a vzdělávání a jejich popularizace skrze filmové příběhy. A zdá se, že alespoň v lokálním měřítku slavíme úspěchy. Růst AFO je totiž pouhým odrazem snahy uspokojit neustále rostoucí poptávku publika. To vše je možné jen díky rozsáhlému týmu více než 350 lidí, kteří podávají často až heroické výkony, za což jim patří velký dík nejenom můj, ale také diváků, kteří tak mohou vidět a vědět. Téma mýtu ve smyslu příběhu nebo také v modernějším smyslu ne- reálného příběhu či dokonce nepravdy a dezinformací prostupuje celým 54. ročníkem Academia Film Olomouc. Prozkoumáme, jak reflektované mýty formují naši civilizaci a jak společností vědomě nereflektované mýty bleskurychle mutují na dezinformace, pro- pagandu nebo zhoubná dogmata. Důraz na historii a její poznání jsme v letošním roce zvolili nejen proto, že nadále platí obligátní „Kdo nezná svoji historii, je odsouzen opakovat stále stejné chyby.“ Je to i kvůli tomu, že jsme přesvědčeni, stejně jako například lau- reát Nobelovy ceny za fyziku Steven Weinberg nebo Carl Sagan, že věda je nejen úžasná metodologie, ale také přístup ke světu a životu, který může vzkvétat pouze ve svobodné společnosti. To ze všeho nejvíce platí o vědecké excelenci, která bude jako kaž- dý rok součástí AFO, a o to více v letošním roce, kdy se hlavním partnerem stalo pět předních vědeckých institucí, které plánují společnou budoucnost. Letošní ročník je zaměřen na velká vyprávění a příběhy právě pro- to, že i my jsme vypravěči. AFO každý rok přichází s příběhy vědy a v dnešní komplexní době stojíme před potřebou nových příběhů. Příběhů, které naší civilizaci umožní rozvíjet se, ale i přežít. My na AFO jsme pevně přesvědčeni, že tím centrálním příběhem naší doby je boření mýtů prostřednictvím nových objevů a vědecké spo- lupráce, kterou vyjadřuje motto spojujících se vědeckých center – „Do budoucna společně“. JAKUB RÁLIŠ 8 FESTIVAL DIRECTOR’S FOREWORD 54th year of AFO brings great changes and improvements. We lent an ear to you, fans of science and knowledge, and we broadened our spectrum of festival sites to reach 17, including the great halls for 400 spectators. There you can expect a stellar storm of films, the greatest in number in AFO’s history, and we will also welcome the most guests from all the world, most of which will arrive to introduce the most important pop-science films made last year. This films will compete for the favor of expert jury in our so far the most extensive festival competition. Even though we are, scientifically spoken, sceptical about the the- ory of permanent growth, AFO has been growing much quicker than the population of our overpopulated planet. We try not to be a part of the problems, but offer solution – which undoubtedly is science and education made popular through film stories. And it seems that at least in the local, we harvest some success. Indeed, the growth of AFO is a mere reflection of the effort to satisfy the growing demands of our audience. This is all possible only thanks to vast team of more than 350 people who do their jobs sometimes even heroically, for which they deserve great gratitude from my side and from the spectators who can watch and know the science now. The topic of myth in the sense of story, or, in its more modern mean- ing, an unrealistic story or even untruth and disinformation will permeate the whole 54th year of AFO. We will see how non-re- flected myths quickly mutate into disinformation, propaganda or malignant dogma. We have chosen the topic of history to focus on gaining knowledge, as there applies the obligatory rule “who does not know his history, is deemed to repeat the same mistakes”. We are doing all this also because we find that science and scien- tists, like for instance the Nobel prize for physics laureates Steven Weinberg or Carl Sagan, tell us that science is not just a wonderful methodology but also a life and world attitude, which can flourish only in a free society. More than anywhere else, this applies to sci- entific high society, and even more this year, when AFO engaged in a partnership with 5 top institutions of science, which step up for a shared future. This year is focused mainly on great storytelling because we are storytellers. Each year, AFO comes up with science stories, a cur- rent times of high complexity see us need new stories, stories that allow our civilization grow and survive. We, the AFO team, are firmly convinced, that the new story will be found in the scientific coopera- tion, that expresses the motto of interconnecting human centers – “Enter the future together”. JAKUB RÁLIŠ 9 SLOVO REKTORA UNIVERZITY PALACKÉHO PALACKÝ UNIVERSITY RECTOR’S FOREWORD Dámy a pánové, Academia Film Olomouc již dlouhá desetiletí prodává ve světě značku města a především Univerzity Palackého. Odpověď na otázku, v čem tkví příčina celoevropské i globální proslulosti festi- valu a jeho obrovské obliby zejména u mladé generace není úplně jednoduchá. Dějiny AFO jsou příběhem o komunikaci mezi vědou a veřejností, o sdělování naléhavých (a často nepříjemných) sku- tečností i o formulaci hlavních výzev budoucnosti. Společenský význam tohoto dialogu vzrůstá úměrně faktu, že některé problémy lidstva dnes může vyřešit již pouze věda. Úspěch Academia Filmu Olomouc je však dán rovněž schopností organizátorů reagovat na palčivé otázky doby. K hlavním tématům letošního ročníku například patří vysoce aktuální a vzájemně propojená témata propagandy, mýtů a zapomenutých dějin, které jsme pohříchu odsouzeni prožívat znovu a znovu. Každý rok na konci dubna se Olomouc stává světovým centrem popularizace vědy. Těším se na poučné filmové projekce, vášnivé diskuse o vědeckých otáz- kách i na bohatý doprovodný program. Ale nejvíc se těším na vás, návštěvníky a fanoušky Academia Film Olomouc. Ladies and Gentlemen, For several decades now, Academia Film Olomouc has been sell- ing the brand of our city and, above all, of Palacký University, to the world. The reasons for both the European and global fame of the festival and its great popularity, especially with the young generation, are no simple matter. The history of AFO is the sto- ry of a dialogue between science and the public, communicating pressing (and often unpleasant) realities and reflecting on the main challenges that our future holds in store. The social significance of this dialogue is all the greater

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 395 338 CS 509 239 AUTHOR Drushel, Bruce E. TITLE If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs. PUB DATE Nov 95 NOTE 21p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (81st, San Antonio, TX, November 18-24, 1995). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Censorship; Conservatism; *Financial Support; *Government Role; Higher Education; Homosexuality; Legislators; Mass Media; *Moral Issues; *Programming (Broadcast); *Public Television IDENTIFIERS Congress; *Controversial Topics; First Amendment; Religious Right ABSTRACT Public broadcasting in the United States frequently draws criticism from conservatives who accuse it of pursuing an agenda promoting environmentalism, gay rights, affirmative action, reproductive choice, and other liberal causes, and of being hostile to conservative interests such as defense, the pro-life effort, and the promotion of Christian values. To date, concerns over censorship in public television have focused, not on overt efforts by Congress to determine the bounds of acceptable programs, but on not-so-subtle pressure at both the national and the local level to self-censor or risk loss of funding. Several recent cases of controversial programs have led to calls for ties between funding of the public television system and program content--programs such as "Tongues Untied," "Portrait of a Marriage," and "Tales of the City." Assessing the constitutionality of possible future efforts by Congress to place content-related conditions on the funding of,public television seems to require that 3 areas of law be analyzed: (1) the current statutory framework in which the public television system operates;(2) the recent case law in the area of the First Amendment and public broadcasting; and (3) relevant overarching judicial principles.

    BLIND DATE MATTHEW KENNEDY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF FINE ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN FILM YORK UNIVERISTY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2016 © Matthew Kennedy, 2016 Abstract Blind Date is a documentary film about a young woman from rural China named Chun Cao Zhao who is pressured into marriage through a tradition known as “blind dating.” The film begins in Guangzhou, a sprawling metropolis in Southern China, where she has been living for the past ten years, and is just days away from returning home for her wedding. As she slowly says goodbye to city life, the life she wants to keep, she reveals to the camera her feelings toward her fiancé, her thoughts on the impending wedding and her own struggles to find a boyfriend. As the film follows her back home we intimately witness the sacrifices she is forced to make in order to appease her parents and the greater instrument of Chinese culture. The film examines and contrasts contemporary China with traditional China and displays the varying roles of each gender in both rural and urban settings. The film concludes with her arranged marriage and a short follow-up with her new husband six months after the wedding. ii Acknowledgements Throughout the entire process of making this film I have several people to which I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude. Firstly, to my supervisor Barbara Evans, making this film was a long journey and it could not have been done without her patience, encouragement and unwavering support.

    Inherited Images: Reconfiguring Home Movies in Experimental Cinema Kelsey Haas A Thesis in The Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Masters of Art (Film Studies) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada July 2013 © Kelsey Haas, 2013 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Kelsey Haas Entitled: Inherited Images: Reconfiguring Home Movies in Experimental Cinema and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Film Studies) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: ______________________________________ Chair Daniel Cross ______________________________________ Examiner Peter Rist ______________________________________ Examiner Rick Hancox ______________________________________ Supervisor Catherine Russell Approved by ______________________________________________________ Luca Caminati Graduate Program Director ______________________________________________________ Catherine Wild Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts Date ______________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Inherited Images: Reconfiguring Home Movies in Experimental Cinema Kelsey Haas This thesis examines a subset of contemporary experimental filmmakers who incorporate their own home movies into their films and videos. Close analysis of Helen Hill’s Mouseholes (1999), Richard Fung’s Sea in the Blood (2000), Philip Hoffman’s What these Ashes Wanted (2001), and Jay Rosenblatt’s Phantom Limb (2005) reveals tensions between the private and public functions of home movies as well as key differences between the reconfigurations of home movies and the appropriation of found footage. When experimental filmmakers use home movies, it is often a means of confronting issues of memory; also, the filmmakers most often strive to preserve the home movies because of their personal connection to them.

When the founder steps down, a young alum whose life was saved by the drumline rises to mentor the next generation in the face of systemic injustices. SYNOPSIS The critically-acclaimed, audience favorite RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT is an immersive story of music, love, and legacies set in the American South. For three decades, the dynamic Ed “Nardie” White offered a path to empowerment to Black youth in Louisville, Kentucky through his Pan-African community drum corps. When he decides to step down, Albert Shumake, an alum whose life was saved by the drumline, returns home to carry “the spirit of the drum” forward for the next generation. During the year-long changing of the guard, young drummers Imani, Jailen, and Emily navigate the cadences of adolescence even as systemic forces threaten to undermine their dreams. Directors Marlon Johnson and Anne Flatté deliver a vital and insightful tale that shows how art, love and mentors can transform a child’s life.

  • Journey to the Academy Awards: an Investigation of Oscar-Shortlisted and Nominated Documentaries (2014-2016) PRELIMINARY KEY
    Journey to the Academy Awards: An Investigation of Oscar-Shortlisted and Nominated Documentaries (2014-2016) PRELIMINARY KEY FINDINGS By Caty Borum Chattoo, Co-Director, Center for Media & Social Impact American University School of Communication | Washington, D.C. February 2016 OVERVIEW For a documentary filmmaker, being recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for an Oscar nomination in the Best Documentary Feature category is often the pinnacle moment in a career. Beyond the celebratory achievement, the acknowledgment can open up doors for funding and opportunities for next films and career opportunities. The formal recognition happens in three phases: It begins in December with the Academy’s announcement of a shortlist—15 films that advance to a formal nomination for the Academy’s Best Documentary Feature Award. Then, in mid-January, the final list of five official nominations is announced. Finally, at the end of February each year, the one winner is announced at the Academy Awards ceremony. Beyond a film’s narrative and technical prowess, the marketing campaigns that help a documentary make it to the shortlist and then the final nomination list are increasingly expensive and insular, from advertisements in entertainment trade outlets to lavish events to build buzz among Academy members and industry influencers. What does it take for a documentary film and its director and producer to make it to the top—the Oscars shortlist, the nomination and the win? Which film directors are recognized—in terms of race and gender?
