I thank you all for supporting a diverse group of new storytelling voices whose exciting works have captured our imagination with their originality, depth, artistry and skill. Festivals showcase remarkable talent while uniting all of you who love and support film, great storytelling and the discovery of exceptional new talent. For our students, exhibiting their work at festivals is a transformational learning metaphor that serves them well throughout their careers, while inspiring them to take their work to even greater levels of excellence. Without question, you will see this kind of powerful work on display through- out this special week Whether it’s festival week or our many great programs and initiatives on display every day, it’s an exciting time to be at TFT. Our new vision is simple, yet powerful: for TFT to serve as a premier interdisciplinary global professional school that develops industry leaders and scholars whose diverse voices enlighten, engage and inspire change for a better world. Without question, our students, faculty and alumni represent the very best of our storied past and our exceptionally bright future. Enjoy your festival week. And, once again, please join me in congratulating all of our TFT students for another wonderful year of outstanding work. W ELCO M E WWW.TFT.UCLA.EDU/FESTIVAL 33 A MESSAGE FROM MYRL SCHREIBMAN PRODUCER, FESTIVAL OF NEW CREATIVE WORK 2011 Independent Voices! It’s what distinguishes the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television as a unique place of budding artists whether they are writers, producers, animators, designers or directors. One only needs to look at the schools’ web site to see the roster of people working professionally as actors, writers, producers, animators, directors, cinematographers, editors or as scholars within the medium to see it’s lasting and indelible effect on the industry and the profes- sion. Independent Voices! The stories that our students tell are from their soul, their passion and their individual lives. They show a unique way of looking at the world, of seeing the miniscule in the largesse and the largesse in the miniscule or the complexities of the human spirit and the passion of emotions that transport us through their stories. They make you laugh and cry and go away think- ing about an issue that requires further thought if not action. Independent Voices! That’s what the 2011 UCLA Festival of New Creative Work is all about. Independent Voices! It is the Festival that honors luminaries who our students look to for inspiration and ideals and whose work is deeply admired and respected for its own independent voice and spirit. All of our students are talented emerging artists as they are the writers, producers, designers, and directors of tomorrow who are working tirelessly today on their art and craft to be true storytellers in an original visionary way. “To be an artist” says Akira Kurosawa, “means to search, to find and look at life’s realities. To be an art- ist means to never look away.” Well our students in the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television never do look away. They look forward. Creating What’s Next!

Sinema sanatının seslendiği seyirci kitleleri ile eleştiri kurumu arasına kalın bir duvar örme gayreti güden bu yaklaşımın günümüzde yankılanan biçimleri arasında, “Halk beğendiyse, eleştirmenler beğenmez!” ya da tam tersi, “Eleştirmenler beğendiyse, kimse gitmez o filme!” yargılarının olduğunu da gayet iyi biliyoruz. Oysa köşelerini, bazı yönetmenler ve filmleri ile seyircilerin ve eleştirmenlerin oluşturduğu öyle sağlam üçgenler kurulmuş ki yedinci sanatın geçmişinde, söz ettiğim türden yaygın ve yanılgın iddiaların tümü bir çırpıda havada kalıyor, sonra da adeta tuzla buz oluyor.

  • Eastwood, Dicaprio Try to Capture First FBI Director's Life in 'J. Edgar'
    09 November 2011 | voaspecialenglish.com Eastwood, DiCaprio Try to Capture First FBI Director's Life in 'J. Edgar' AP From left, Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and director Clint Eastwood at the premiere of "J. Edgar" last week in Los Angeles (You can download an MP3 of this story at voaspecialenglish.com) DOUG JOHNSON: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English. (MUSIC) I’m Doug Johnson. Today we play music from American Idol winner Scotty McCreery ... And we answer a question about American whiskey ... But first, it is history at the movie theater where a new film opens about former law enforcement chief J. Edgar Hoover. "J. Edgar" DOUG JOHNSON: The movie "J. Edgar" opens across America today. The film is about J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoover was a complex and powerful man. He helped develop the FBI into an efficient and effective crime solving agency. However, in later years, many people 2 questioned the methods used by Hoover and his investigators. Bob Doughty tells more about the man and the movie. BOB DOUGHTY: Clint Eastwood directed the movie "J. Edgar." He grew up in the time when, in his words, "Hoover was always top cop." Eastwood said he had heard different stories about the former FBI director. Some of them were very critical. But Eastwood said anybody who stays in a job as long as Hoover did is going to create some enemies. J. Edgar Hoover was the leader of the FBI and the agency it developed from for almost fifty years.

    18 JAN 19 28 FEB 19 1 | 18 JAN 19 - 28 FEB 19 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM What does it mean, ‘to play against type’? Come January/February you may find many examples. Usually it’s motivated by the opportunity to hold aloft a small gold-plated statue, but there are plenty memorable occasions where Hollywood’s elite pulled this trope off fantastically. Think Charlize Theron in Monster. Maybe Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine? Or Heath Ledger as Joker. These performances often come to dominate award season. Directors wrenching a truly transformative rendition out of their leads can be the difference between a potential big winner fading into obscurity, or being written into history. The class of 2019 appears particularly full of these turns. There might well be as much intrigue in figuring out which will be remembered, as in watching the performances themselves. ‘Unrecognisable as’ awards could go out to Margot Robbie as Elizabeth I in Mary Queen Of Scots; Melissa McCarthy in Can You Ever Forgive Me?; Nicole Kidman in Destroyer; Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in Vice. Others of course have been down this road before. Steve Carell has come a long, long way since Michael Scott and he looks tremendous in Beautiful Boy. And Matt Dillon, who we’ll see in The House That Jack Built, has always had a penchant for the slightly off-colour. There’s probably no one more off-colour than Lars von Trier. Screening for one night only. At Belmont Filmhouse we try to play against type as much as possible.
