Directed by Roman Vávra a Classic Fairy–Tale for the Whole Family directed by Roman Vávra a classic fairy–tale for the whole family Contact: Verbascum, producer Richard Němec, Černá 6, 110 00 Praha 1, Czech Republic tel.: 00420 2 24930077, fax: 00420 2 24930384, [email protected] In the land of King Dobromil honest labour, decency, honesty and res- pect among people has become a thing of the past. Instead the country is gradually succumbing to Hell’s force and, thus, those who have some remnants of decency prefer to flee. When things in the land go from bad to worse the King in his helplessness sells his soul to the Devil, and his base Minister takes over the reigns of power. At this very time in the Kingdom appears an inconspicuous merry drea- mer called Philip. When muddle-headed herbalist and sorceress Apol- lonia sees him coming with an ass she is convinced he is the saviour from her dreams. Noone realises he is a Prince from a neighbouring Kingdom. And, lo-and-behold, Philip really manages to save the land from Hell not, though, through any magic but because of his courage, humour, his sincere love for Princess Annie and, maybe, his well- aimed cheek to counter the omnipotent Lucifer. All this, and much more, we will see portrayed using kind-hearted poeticism, nerve-tingling drama and, above all, distinctive humour in a classic fairy-tale film created by noted scripwriters Miloš Macourek and Ondrej Šulaj, and directed by Roman Vávra. With such seasoned authors and the director’s unusual vivid imagination, a spectacle for everyone is ensured. It is a film for those who want to relax, amuse themselves, or just pause a while, but, mainly, it is a film for people both big and small who believe that evil will not triumph as long as we do not tremble in fear when facing it. a classic fairy-tale for the whole family 1 CONTENT: synopsis . 1 crew and technical data . 3 deadlines and locations . 4 budget . 5 biography of the director Roman Vávra . 6 biography of the scriptwriter Miloš Macourek . 7 biography of the scriptwriter Ondřej Šulaj . 8 biography of the producer Richard Němec and information about the company Verbascum . 9 story outline . 10 PICTORIAL ADDENDUM: location photographs working sketches of costumes Translated by Pavel Theiner a classic fairy-tale for the whole family 2 Director .

  • Redefining Gender in Disney Films from the 20Th to 21St Century Shrien Alshabasy SUNY New Paltz Honors Thesis 2018-2019
    Alshabasy 1 "A Whole New World": Redefining Gender in Disney Films from the 20th to 21st Century Shrien Alshabasy SUNY New Paltz Honors Thesis 2018-2019 Alshabasy 2 The Disney Dynasty is as familiar to American culture as apple pie. Sitting on land that is twice the size of Manhattan, the Disney Kingdom has expanded over the years to create a whole new world; a world seriously considered by cultural theorists like Baudrillard, as a simulacrum, a symbol so close to reality that it becomes hyperreality. Before water parks and resort hotels, before Disney bought out the land of orange groves and walnut trees in Anaheim, California, the Magic Kingdom began its conquest on American ideology. The Walt Disney Company started in 1923 as “The Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio,” and churned out films that embodied American ideals. Oftentimes, these films were set in 19th century rural America and featured an American hero -- usually Mickey Mouse, who could outwork and challenge any enemy big or small with his bravery. An embodiment of American ideals, Disney films became loved and endeared by audiences during morally depleting times, like the Depression years (“How Disney Came to Define What Constitutes the American Experience”). Audiences latched onto these ideals, seemingly stable, even when external factors were not. In 1938, Disney shifted gears into feature films with his vision of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Although many had their doubts, after three years of work Snow White was released and it quickly became the highest grossing film of all time. Feature films became the money makers for Disney and the start of consumer fascination with Disney culture (“Disney Animation Is Closing the Book on Fairy Tales”).

INTRODUCTION Crop plants are our greatest heritage from prehistory (Harlan 1992; Diamond 2002). How, where, and when the domestication of crops plants occurred is slowly becoming revealed although not completely understood (Camp et al. 1957; Smartt and Simmonds 1995; Gepts 2003). In some cases, the genetic distance between wild and domestic plants is so great, maize and crucifers, for example, that their origins are obscure. The origins of the ancient grains (wheat, maize, rice, and sorghum) and pulses (sesame and lentil) domesticated in Neolithic times have been the subject of intense interest and the puzzle is being solved with the new evidence based on molecular biology (Gepts 2003).
