    See It Big! Action Features More Than 30 Action Movie Favorites on the Big

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

    EASC Newsletter: October 2006 EASC Newsletter: October 2006 A Letter from the Director Heidi Ross Dear Friends and Colleagues, Remember summer? (Relatively) uninterrupted days dedicated to research, special training programs, travel, writing, renewal? At the mid-point of the semester, those days seem like distant memories. Nevertheless, let me take a moment to celebrate with you once again the happy news we received in July when EASC, with our consortium partner University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign’s Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS), received Title VI funding to become one of 17 U.S. National Resource Centers for the study of East Asia. As a member of this impressive nationwide group, our consortium brings together 140 faculty specialists in East Asia, making us a Midwest powerhouse. In addition to supporting outreach activities and cross-campus teaching, our joint projects include language pedagogy workshops; national dissertation workshops on East Asian ethnology, education, sexuality and gender, and culture and society; and summer seminars on transnational and cross-regional cinemas, varieties of capitalism, culture and cognition, and Daoism and folk beliefs in Chinese religion. We are now in the planning stages of a special consortium initiative, Science and Technology in the Pacific Century (STIP), which will bring together East Asian and U.S. scholars, students, and policy makers to consider the impact of science and technology on business and society on both sides of the Pacific. To date, our colloquium series has brought Professor Ted Bestor (Harvard University) to talk about “Global Sushi” and Professor Julia Andrews (Ohio State University) to discuss “Ink Painting in the Art World of Contemporary China.” The Unforgiven, by first-time film director and writer YOON Jong-bin, kicked off this semester’s film series.

Centering on the reminiscences of Rose McNulty, a woman who has spent over fifty years in state institutions, The Secret Scripture is a deeply moving story of love lost and redeemed, against the backdrop of an emerging Irish state in which female sexuality and independence unsettles the colluding patriarchies of church and nationalist politics. Demonstrating Sheridan’s trademark skill with actors, his profound sense of story, and depth of feeling for Irish social history, The Secret Scripture marks a return to personal themes for the writer-director as well as a reunion with producer Noel Pearson, almost a quarter of a century after their breakout success with My Left Foot.
