  • At Universal Studios
    2018 Mentor Meeting: Carl Hansen's 'Team Cultural Detritus' at Universal Studios As part of the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, the winning filmmakers are awarded mentorship meetings with active members of the entertainment industry. ‘Check Mate’ was awarded “Best Film” in the 2018 Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, and the winning team was treated to an exciting day at Universal Studios. Here is creator Carl Hansen’s take on his team’s special day: “I got to the Universal Studios Gate 2 just on time after navigating Los Angeles traffic from dropping my son off at preschool. The security guard told me where to park and I drove in. I apparently passed the parking lot where I was supposed to go and ended up going up a big hill that’s used on the official Tram tours, oops. So I turned around and Jeff Cafuir, director of Community Investment at NBCUniversal, was waiting for me as I pulled in. After exchanging hellos he walked me briskly to an executive building and we proceeded to the top floor reception desk, marked by “Universal Pictures” in large letters around the front. I promptly had to take a photo of the desk because my first paid job at the tender age of 14 was on the movie, “Housesitter” (starring Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn) which had been distributed by Universal Pictures - it felt very full-circle. We were then swiftly guided down to a very large conference room where I met Gesumino Rulli, manager of Global Talent Development & Inclusion, Caitlyn Halsey, manager of the Universal Pictures story department and Charlie Alderman from Focus Features.

  • And Reconcile Us with Evil a Critical Investigation of the Imagery of Good and Evil in Western Religion, Film, and Politics
    ...And Reconcile Us With Evil A Critical Investigation of the Imagery of Good and Evil in Western Religion, Film, and Politics Religion in Peace and Conflict Uppsala Universitet, Teologiska Fakulteten Author: Arne L Gellrich Supervisor: Nils Billing Examinator: Kajsa Ahlstrand Abstract With an eye on the current social and political situation in Europe, and with regards to the so-termed refugee crisis, this study aims to map the discourse on assumed good and evil shared among Western cultures, as represented by Sweden, Germany and the United States. The thesis takes its point of departure from essayistic reflections of the philosophical tradition and theological and religious analytical positions respectively. These are then followed by two in- vestigative main chapters, designed along the lines of Norman Fairclough’s approach to critical dis- course analysis (CDA). The first of these chapters studies the narratives of good and evil employed in the mainstream cinema of the past ten years in the mentioned countries. The second analysis is made up of three case studies, in turn looking at similar narratives in the campaigns of the two main competitors in the 2016 presidential race, a German protest movement against free trade agreements, and the everyday political communication of Swedish Facebook us- ers. In a final chapter, findings from all four preceding chapters are brought together in an attempt to sketch an image of the congruences and discrepancies of narratives on good and evil in the overall discursive field. The thesis finds that the discursive field shared by the three investigated societies is largely ho- ...And Reconcile Us With Evil mogenous, with certain imagery permeating all analysed orders of discourse.
