Among these teams is Boys’ Var- sity Tennis, which recently claimed their hard-earned victory in the championship against Indian Creek. Despite the many changes this year has seen, the team persevered and had an incredibly successful season. The senior doubles team of Aaron and Jacob Hirschhorn helped lead the younger team to this years's tennis victory. “While Covid definitely impacted the logistics of our season, we brought the same spirit as always,” Harrison Schapiro ’22, Varsity member said. Participating in sports during Covid has proved to be a challenge, but not taken away from the enthusiasm of the team.

Watson, May 30, 2021 8:00 am ET Stories starring real people are attracting some of the world’s biggest celebrities, from the Obamas to Kim Kardashian, as nonfiction programming has become essential to companies aiming to build streaming services. 1 Unscripted shows and documentary projects tend to be cheaper to make than their scripted counterparts, offering the potential for bigger profits if they become popular. According to market-research company Reelgood, the cumulative number of reality TV shows offered on streaming services nearly doubled in the first quarter of this year when compared with 2020.

  • Part IV Alternative Film
    \ PART IV THE ALTERNATIV E FILM 335 Historical Overview: The Development of the Documentary Film FROM SILENCE TO SOUND Influenced by the Industrial Revolution's emphasis on science and technology, Louis and Auguste Lumière made their first films in 1895 primarily from an urge to reproduce the everyday world, to record and document life around them. These filmed scenes from life (workers leaving the factory, a train arriving), however, could not indefinitely hold the imagination and attention of the viewing public. Although from 1895 to 1907 most films were documentary films or, perhaps more appropriately, film documents - after 1907 such films were on the decline. Audience interest in film's ability to capture the everyday world was undercut by the growing production of fake documentaries, which were often much more exciting to watch than the film record of the real thing. The narrative film in which the emergent art of film editing altered precamera activity and created drama as it manipulated time and space appealed to audiences more than films of unstructured material. Although newsreels became a regular part of the movie program in 1910 when both Pathé and Gaumont in France released the first sets of composite documentary news footage, the public's chief interest in the movies had permanently shifted to the narrative film. As a result, although many documentary films throughout the century functioned as theatrical entertainment, the history of the form has generally been allied to noncommercial enterprise and has been developed by those filmmakers, governments, and social institutions who saw in the cinema a medium with the power to move people to social and political action.

    The Making of My Octopus Teacher BY SWATI THIYAGARAJAN ABOUT THE FILM My Octopus Teacher follows the story of the year Craig Foster spent with a wild octopus. Finding the Story The ocean looked especially lively. White horses rode hard towards rocks while the occasional spindrift lifted towards the sky. It was one of those days when the South Easter howled down False Bay and anyone with even a modicum of common sense would not attempt a swim. However, there I was on my deck at home, worrying about three people. Craig, Pippa and Roger, who were out there filming Craig in the water. They were not auditioning for a Survivors type show, but filming Craig who had made a promise to himself that he would swim in the ocean every single day - no matter what. It was his way of dealing with a deep disconnect from nature and himself, and healing the physical and psychological pain that he was experiencing as a result. It was his happy place, even in moments like this, when the ocean looked like a washing machine. All three of them are experienced swimmers and divers. They were diving within 100m of the shore, inside the kelp forest that helped to dampen the oceans’ ferocity. They were shooting a film titled My Octopus Teacher. On this day in 2017, the project was just starting to shape into a film. Its true origin however, began years before when Craig began documenting the wonders of the great underwater forests of Cape Town. A few years into this process he met a very special, wild octopus and started filming her.
