Academy Honors Student Filmmakers FROM THE PRESIDENT Yes, but what about the next generation of Oscar winners? DEAR ACADEMY MEMBERS, We all know that the honoring and encouraging of excellence in filmmaking is at the heart of the Academy's mission. In pursuit of that goal, each year we seek out our art form 's finest achievements from around the world and recognize them with nominations and 0 cars. But we're also thinking ahead. The recognition and encouragement of developing film artists over the last several decades has grown into one of the Academy's more important activities. The recognition The annual Student Academy A wards competition is perhaps the most obvious and well-known example of the Academy's encouragement toward new filmmakers at the collegiate level. This June and encouragement marked the 35th year of the Student Academy Awards, and a wonderfully diverse group of talented of developing film young men and women joined the roster of winners that over the years has included John Lasseter, Spike artists over the Lee, Pete Docter, Ken Kwapis, Robert Zemeckis and many others now working at the highest levels in film and television. last several But there is much more. Our highly prestigious Nicholl Fellowships in Screen writing have decades has channeled dozens of new writers into the fIlm profession, and they have written several of the movies widely released in recent years. This year's competition is the 23rd, and 5,224 entries - representing all grown into one 50 states and 35 other countries - are now vying for one of five prizes of $30,000 each. Yes, the money of the Academy's is important, but ask any of the past winners or even finalists in this competition and they will tell you more important that it was the recognition - the encouragement - that meant the most to them as they worked to enter the industry. activities. In another area, the Academy has authored and distributed a teacher's guide series. Each of the nine editions has focused on different aspects of filmmaking as represented by our branches. In addition to inspiring high school students to become the next group of documentarians, or animators, or film editors, the information and activities enhance the understanding and appreciation of what goes into the making of the movies they see. Many of the financial grants presented through the Institutional Grants and Film Festival Grants committees are directed toward programs that specifically target young people, whether by providing fund s for internships or allowing school-age children the opportunity to attend fi lm screenings and events, which again might inspire a career path or simply a new passion. The Academy is actively nurturing the next generation of movie artists, craftspeople, and movie lovers. We should be proud of our commitment to the future. - SmGANlS ACADEMY REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2008 Published by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 8949 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California 90211 -1972 (310) 247-3000 www.oscars.org PRESIDENT . ................. • .....•. ...• . ....•.... •.........

  • The Inventory of the Richard Roud Collection #1117
    The Inventory of the Richard Roud Collection #1117 Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center ROOD, RICHARD #1117 September 1989 - June 1997 Biography: Richard Roud ( 1929-1989), as director of both the New York and London Film Festivals, was responsible for both discovering and introducing to a wider audience many of the important directors of the latter half th of the 20 - century (many of whom he knew personally) including Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Bresson, Luis Buiiuel, R.W. Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Terry Malick, Ermanno Ohni, Jacques Rivette and Martin Scorsese. He was an author of books on Jean-Marie Straub, Jean-Luc Godard, Max Ophuls, and Henri Langlois, as well as the editor of CINEMA: A CRITICAL DICTIONARY. In addition, Mr. Roud wrote extensive criticism on film, the theater and other visual arts for The Manchester Guardian and Sight and Sound and was an occasional contributor to many other publications. At his death he was working on an authorized biography of Fran9ois Truffaut and a book on New Wave film. Richard Roud was a Fulbright recipient and a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. Scope and contents: The Roud Collection (9 Paige boxes, 2 Manuscript boxes and 3 Packages) consists primarily of book research, articles by RR and printed matter related to the New York Film Festival and prominent directors. Material on Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut and Henri Langlois is particularly extensive. Though considerably smaller, the Correspondence file contains personal letters from many important directors (see List ofNotable Correspondents). The Photographs file contains an eclectic group of movie stills.

  • Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll Generation Saved Hollywood Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    EASY RIDERS, RAGING BULLS: HOW THE SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL GENERATION SAVED HOLLYWOOD PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Peter Biskind | 512 pages | 26 Apr 1999 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9780684857084 | English | New York, United States Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll Generation Saved Hollywood PDF Book My impression of this documentary wasn't so great due to the fact of already seeing and knowing a similar themed work a few years ago called "A Decade Under the Influence" , directed by Ted Demme and Richard LaGravenese, which was a better project for numerous reasons. Why do people go see them? The book is hefty with gossip of all kinds, which is too bad because he's talking about the revolution in films in the 60's to early 80's. It is chock full of interviews and choice information about the time period 60's's in American cinema that changed everything, for a lot better and some for not. Beatty likes to fuck alot. Biskind's book disappointed me tremendously. Return to the Books Home Page. Assassinations, cultural domination, drugging, spying, provocation: Talk about taking the fight to your opponents—the American people—and crippling them for generations! But in the kind of popularized pseudohistory ''Easy Riders, Raging Bulls'' exemplifies, anecdotes are valued above all else, bitchy gossip is privileged, dysfunction is automatically more fascinating than artistic success, aggrieved former friends and former lovers are granted the license to settle scores sometimes anonymously , documentation is disdained and historical analysis must be squeezed into the narrative quickly, so as not to disrupt the dishing.
