Pilot Season by Kelly Cousineau An undergraduate honorsrequirements thesis submitted for the degree in partial of fulfillment of the Bachelor of Arts in University Honors and Film Thesis Adviser William Tate Portland State University 2014 Abstract In the 1930s, two historical figures pioneered the cinematic movement into color technology and theory: Technicolor CEO Herbert Kalmus and Color Director Natalie Kalmus. Through strict licensing policies and creative branding, the husband-and-wife duo led Technicolor in the aesthetic revolution of colorizing Hollywood. However, Technicolor's enormous success, beginning in 1938 with The Wizard of Oz, followed decades of duress on the company. Studios had been reluctant to adopt color due to its high costs and Natalie's commanding presence on set represented a threat to those within the industry who demanded creative license. The discrimination that Natalie faced, while undoubtedly linked to her gender, was more systemically linked to her symbolic representation of Technicolor itself and its transformation of the industry from one based on black-and-white photography to a highly sanctioned world of color photography.

    Kol Nidre: Variations on a Theme a GREAT JEWISH BOOKS TEACHER WORKSHOP RESOURCE KIT

    Kol Nidre: Variations on a Theme A GREAT JEWISH BOOKS TEACHER WORKSHOP RESOURCE KIT Teachers’ Guide This guide accompanies resources that can be found at: http://teachgreatjewishbooks.org/resource-kits/kol-nidre-variations- theme. Introduction Kol Nidre is a legal formula recited in the evening service that begins the holiday of Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. This ritual recitation may have been developed in the early medieval period as a response to Jews being forced to convert, either to Christianity or Islam. The text absolves those who recite it from vows in God’s name made under duress, so that the breaking of such vows is not counted as a sin. Its dramatic recitation and musical setting lend it an emotional intensity that has allowed the prayer to develop resonances beyond the stated meaning of the text. The High Holidays—the celebration of the new year on the Jewish calendar, which includes Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur—have in general come to signify a return to tradition and to religious duties that may have been neglected over the past year, and Kol Nidre serves as a climactic moment of this return. This kit gathers together examples of the use of Kol Nidre in modern Jewish literature, music, and film, asking students to consider how the prayer has come to stand for adherence to and return to Jewish tradition, and what precisely that return entails.

    Silent Films: Made in San Rafael by Scott Fletcher Marin History Museum Volunteer in 1914, Just Three Years After East Coast

    Silent Films: Made in San Rafael By Scott Fletcher Marin History Museum Volunteer In 1914, just three years after East Coast motion picture companies had begun to relocate to Hollywood, San Rafael’s Sun Valley neighborhood became the home to one of the premier movie-making studios of the young film industry. The California Motion Picture Corporation was the brainchild of Comstock mining heir, Herbert Payne, who wanted to make films to promote tourism and industry in California. He hired friend and San Francisco automobile dealer George Middleton to help him produce the films. The company built their state-of-the-art studio on land between present-day Forbes and 5th Avenues and J and K Streets. They had selected the site for its proximity to numerous natural environments in which to film, and its nearly year-round sunny climate; an absolute necessity before interior lighting technology had been developed. In its early days, the studio produced a series of travelogue films for eastern and mid- western theater circuits called, The Golden Gate Weekly. But George Middleton and his wife, Beatriz Michelena had greater aspirations. Beatriz was a beautiful opera prima donna on the San Francisco stage who had immense star power. She and her husband recognized the emerging popularity and profitability of motion pictures and were soon producing, directing and acting in prominent feature-length films. They chose for their first “filmatization,” a Bret Harte short story, Salomy Jane’s Kiss, a western romance that was released as Salomy Jane. Michelena’s natural beauty and acting experience gave her the tools to make the transition to silent film and, for a time, rival the popularity of silent film star Mary Pickford.

    ASC Founders

    The 15 Founders of the American Society of Cinematographers Biographies By Robert S. Birchard The American Society of Cinematographers succeeded two earlier organizations — the Cinema Camera Club, started by Edison camerapersons Philip E. Rosen, Frank Kugler and Lewis W. Physioc in New York in 1913; and the Static Club of America, a Los Angeles–based society first headed by Universal cameraperson Harry H. Harris. From the beginning, the two clubs had a loose affiliation, and eventually the West Coast organization changed its name to the Cinema Camera Club of California. But, even as the center of film production shifted from New York to Los Angeles — the western cinematographers’ organization was struggling to stay afloat. Rosen came to Los Angeles in 1918. When he sought affiliation with the Cinema Camera Club of California, president Charles Rosher asked if he would help reorganize the faltering association. Rosen sought to create a national organization, with membership by invitation and with a strong educational component. The reorganization committee met in the home of William C. Foster on Saturday, December 21, 1918 and drew up a new set of bylaws. The 10-member committee and five invited Cinema Camera Club member visitors were designated as the board of governors for the new organization. The next evening, in the home of Fred LeRoy Granville, officers for the American Society of Cinematographers were elected — Philip E. Rosen, president; Charles Rosher, vice president; Homer A. Scott, second vice president; William C. Foster, treasurer; and Victor Milner, secretary. The Society was chartered by the State of California on January 8, 1919.
