It meant furthering their passions for photography. “[The experience] was new for a lot of us,” said Smith, the fi rst place winner. Meg Griffi ns, a photography professor at USC, said students came together and decided to put on the Pop-Up Show and frame all of their own photographs. Griffins helped students organize the event. In conjunction with the USC Photography Festival, the Pop-Up Show featured 26 pieces of student artwork. Dennis Kiel took on the task of judging the photographs and chose the first-, second- and third-place winners. “It wasn’t easy to narrow it down; it was some great work,” Kiel said. Bennett, who won second place, said that upon arriving at the university, she didn’t know that the photography department existed and now calls her professors her mentors.

In this article we will explore how HBO came to legitimatise a contemporary television culture through producing distinct divisions ad infinitum, framed as being rooted outside mainstream commercial television production. In creating incessant divisions in genre, authorship and aesthetics, HBO incorporates artistic norms and principles of evaluation and puts them into circulation as a succession of oppositions— oppositions that we will explore throughout this paper.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

Editor at Large Tracey Smith , who interviewed series creator Terence Winter for EDGE in 2013, doubled back this fall to get his take on the Nucky Thompson experience, find out what¹s coming next, and talk a bit more about what keeps his creative juices flowing. EDGE: Shortening this series to five seasons was a big decision. How did that conversation go between you and fellow executive producer Howard Korder? TW: Somewhere around the middle of Season 4, Howard and I looked at each other and said, “I get the feeling that we’re kind of headed toward a conclusion here.” It was completely inadvertent in our storytelling, but we felt like if we were listening to Nucky and what he was saying and where he was taking us, that he was trying desperately to get out of this business o B h and to wind down.

Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.

Hart Combines an Epic Revolutionary War Story With an Explosive Contemporary Drama Powerful Tale of New Jersey’s Capital City Is From the Small Regional Press Behind Boardwalk Empire—the New York Times Bestseller That Inspired HBO’s Hit Series October 25, 2010, Medford, NJ—Plexus Publishing, Inc., whose Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City is the basis for a major HBO series from Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter, announced the publication of Trenton, a new novel by authors John P. Calu and David A. Hart. Told in two parts, the novel’s action begins in 1774 as the revolution brewing in the American colonies is set to erupt in violent conflict. In Hopewell, New Jersey, near Trenton, the nearly lifeless body of an orphan girl is pulled from the Delaware River by the son of John Hart, an unheralded New Jersey signer of the Declaration of Independence whose “rabblerousing” has brought down the wrath of the British Crown and its many local sympathizers. As the Harts become pivotal players in the rebellion, fighting alongside George Washington, Ben Franklin, and other patriots from throughout the colonies, John Hart becomes a hunted man. Young Edward Hart—inspired by the writings of Thomas Paine—falls in love, enlists in Washington’s ragtag army, and suffers tragic losses on and off the battlefield before victory at Trenton changes his life and alters the course of history.

  • Sexism from Page to Screen: How Hollywood Screenplays Inscribe Gender
    Networking Knowledge Sexism From Page to Screen (Jun. 2017) Sexism From Page to Screen: How Hollywood Screenplays Inscribe Gender DR RADHA O’MEARA, University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This article analyses how characters are described in recent Hollywood screenplays, and notes that female characters are routinely described very differently than male characters. Male characters are commonly named and described expansively, whereas female characters are often unnamed, described meagrely, highly sexualised and infantalised. How characters are described in screenplays matters, because it impacts on production practices, the nature of workplaces, the films produced, and the gender representations we see daily on our screens. Conceptualizing this as a problem of screenwriting rather than an abstract problem of representation helps us imagine and enact change for people both imagined and real. KEYWORDS screenplays, sexism, gender, feminism, Hollywood, screenwriting, representation Introduction: Hollywood is Sexist…In Ways We Haven’t Even Explored Yet In this article, I argue that sexist representations of women on screen are already well formed before a woman steps in front of a camera, before a single frame is shot. By analysing Hollywood screenplays, we can see how women are imagined by the writers of the world’s biggest screen industry. And it is not pretty. The representation of women in screenplays recently came to popular attention with the Twitter feed @FemScriptIntros, where American film producer Ross Putnam tweets descriptions of female characters from unproduced scripts he reads, anonymized with the character name JANE. It received a great deal of media attention (Wagner 2016, Hunt 2016, Brown 2016, Dockterman 2016). The quotations published in the @FemScriptIntros twitter feed effectively demonstrate a pattern of women valued for their youth, beauty and sexuality.
