The Alliance of Women Film Journalists Announces Special EDA Award Saluting POV’S Female Filmmakers; Winner to Be Announced on June 6 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: POV Communications: 212-989-7425. Emergency contact: 646-729-4748 Cathy Fisher, [email protected]; Amanda Nguyen, [email protected]. POV pressroom: www.pbs.org/pov/pressroom AWFJ: Sharon J. Kahn, Kahn Media Strategies/DoubleK PR, [email protected], 917-301-9131 The Alliance of Women Film Journalists Announces Special EDA Award Saluting POV’s Female Filmmakers; Winner to Be Announced on June 6 New York, NY – May 20, 2013 – The Alliance of Women Film Journalists (AWFJ), a membership organization of leading women film journalists and critics from across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, announced seven nominees for a special EDA award, created to celebrate POV’s 25th anniversary. The winner will be announced at POV’s 26th-season launch party at its headquarters in brooklyn, N.Y. on Thursday, June 6, 2013. With this EDA award, the AWFJ will honor the best female-directed film from the curated program MoMA Selects: POV, a 25th Anniversary Retrospective, presented at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in February and March of 2013. A jury of five AWFJ members selected the nominees. The nominees are Better This World (directors: Kelly Duane de la Vega, Katie Galloway), Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter (director: Deborah Hoffmann), Dark Circle (directors: Judy Irving, Christopher Beaver), The Education of Shelby Knox (directors: Marion Lipschutz, Rose Rosenblatt), Granito: How to Nail a Dictator (director: Pamela Yates), Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision (director: Freida Lee Mock) and Where Soldiers Come From (director: Heather Courtney). AWFJ president Jennifer Merin noted, “For the AWFJ, and those of us on the jury, creating this special EDA award has been an extraordinary opportunity to revisit and recognize the women and films that POV has showcased. It is a reminder, too, of the importance of POV’s quarter-century dedication to airing compelling works at the highest level of documentary filmmaking.” The jury includes Merin and AWFJ member film critics Leba Hertz (San Francisco Chronicle), Lisa Kennedy (The Denver Post), Sara Voorhees (NbC/KOb-TV, Albuquerque, N.M.) and Susan Wloszczyna (USA Today). “It is exciting to have such an illustrious panel of journalists and critics reviewing POV films from our entire history,” said Cynthia López, co-executive producer, POV. “These female directors have not only told compelling personal stories, but have also created documentaries that have had a profound effect on the American and international political and social landscape. Jennifer Merin and the jury, through their long and varied careers, are real role models for women, wherever their paths may take them.” Nominees: Better This World – 2011. USA. Directed by Kelly Duane de la Vega and Katie Galloway. The story of Bradley Crowder and David McKay, accused of intending to firebomb the 2008 Republican National Convention, is a dramatic tale of idealism, loyalty, crime and betrayal. Better This World follows the radicalization of these boyhood friends from Midland, Texas, under the tutelage of a revolutionary activist. The results: eight homemade bombs, multiple domestic terrorism charges and a 1 of 4 high-stakes entrapment defense. Winner, 2012 Writers Guild Award for Best Documentary Screenplay and Gotham Award for Best Documentary. Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter – 1994. USA. Directed by Deborah Hoffmann. This life-affirming exploration of family relations, aging and the meaning of memory and love chronicles the progression of a mother’s Alzheimer’s disease and the evolution of her daughter’s response to the illness. Deborah Hoffmann’s desire to cure the incurable—to assuage her mother’s confusion, forgetfulness and obsessiveness—gradually gives way to an acceptance that proves liberating for both daughter and mother. Nominee, 1995 Academy Award, Best Documentary Feature. Dark Circle – 1989. USA. Directed by Judy Irving and Christopher Beaver. This chilling, but ultimately hopeful, film explores how all of us have been affected by the nuclear age. Denounced by officials and shunned by broadcasters when it was first released, Dark Circle raised many issues that have gone on to become today’s front-page headlines. The Education of Shelby Knox – 2005. USA. Directed by Marion Lipschutz and Rose Rosenblatt. A self-described “good Southern Baptist girl,” Shelby Knox pledged abstinence until marriage. But when she discovered that her town of Lubbock, Texas, had high rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, she became an unlikely advocate for comprehensive sex education, and profoundly changed her political and spiritual views along the way. Winner, 2005 Sundance Film Festival Excellence in Cinematography Award: Documentary. Granito: How to Nail a Dictator – 2011. USA/Guatemala. Directed by Pamela Yates. In a stunning milestone for justice in Guatemala, former dictator Efraín Rios Montt is standing trial on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity for his brutal war against the country’s Mayan people in the 1980s—and Pamela Yates’ 1983 documentary, When the Mountains Tremble, provided key evidence in bringing the indictment. Granito: How to Nail a Dictator tells the extraordinary story of how a film, aiding a new generation of human rights activists, became a granito—a tiny grain of sand—that helped tip the scales of justice. Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision – 1994. USA. Directed by Freida Lee Mock. This Academy Award-winning feature documentary captures a decade in the life of visionary artist Maya Lin, who was only 21 when her design for the Washington, D.C. Vietnam Veterans Memorial—polished black granite inscribed with the 57,661 names of those who died in Vietnam—was selected in 1981. The monument was attacked as “dishonorable” and “a scar,” but Lin remained committed to her vision, and her tribute to sacrifice and quiet heroism was built as planned. Since then, she has completed a succession of startlingly original monuments and sculptures that confront vital American social issues. Winner, 1995 Academy Award, Best Documentary Feature. Where Soldiers Come From – 2011. USA. Directed by Heather Courtney. From a small, snowy town in northern Michigan to the mountains of Afghanistan, Where Soldiers Come From follows the four-year journey of a close-knit group of childhood friends who join the National Guard after graduating high school. As the young men transform from restless teenagers to soldiers looking for roadside bombs to 23-year-old combat veterans, the film offers an intimate look at the Americans who fight our wars and the families and towns from which they come.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2015 Biggest format event of the year attracts a larger crowd to radio. The all-Christmas format did more than deliver record- high ratings for AC stations. It also lifted the number of people listening to radio overall. New data from Nielsen shows Persons Using Radio in PPM markets grew during the Holiday 2014 survey, compared to the same period one year earlier, reversing a years-long decline. A key barometer of radio usage, Persons Using Radio is analogous to Average Quarter Hour Persons for the entire radio industry. It rolls up the total number of people tuned to broadcast radio during an average quarter hour. After trending down at a rate of 4%-5% for the past two Holiday surveys, the number rose to 111.23 million in the 48 PPM markets in the Holiday 2014 survey, a 2% increase from 109.18 million in 2013. The number is significant because it represents more than just the same audience being divvied up differently among stations. It instead shows an expansion in total radio usage during the survey period. “National radio listening moving up a couple percentage points is a big deal,” Nielsen VP, programming business partner Jon Miller says. What’s behind the Holiday uptick in Persons Using Radio. A number of factors appear to have contributed to the upturn in Persons Using Radio during the Holiday survey. First, the Holiday 2014 survey included one more day of Christmas programming than the 2013 survey.

S Discussion Guide Wrestling with Angels A film by Freida Lee Mock www.pbs.org/pov n o s Discussion Guide | Wrestling with Angels a e S Letter from the Filmmaker NEW YORK , NEW YORK Dear Colleague, I first became interested in Tony Kushner after hearing him deliver an amazing, inspiring one-minute speech. In the early l990s I had heard about a provocative, long new play called Angels in America , but unlike many, who saw it in its gestation in San Francisco, Los Angeles or London or during its Broadway run in l993, I did not see Angels nor had I read or seen any of Kushner’s plays when I started this film in the fall of 2001. I had, however, read a short essay Tony had written called With a Little Help from My Friends , from his book Thinking About the Longstanding Problems of Virtue and Happiness . In this essay, Tony expressed his heartfelt thanks to all the people who had helped him become the playwright he is, especially following the acclaim of . I found the essay funny, generous, Angels in America Director Freida Lee Mock. openhearted, politically astute and surprising, and I said to myself, “Who is this Photo Joann Hertz person? No one thinks this way. Schadenfreude rules.” I loved the spirit of his ideas and the personality behind the writing. Shortly afterward I heard Tony speak at a college graduation. He was told he could speak but for one minute. His speech was hilarious and serious, highly political, a tour de force that surprised and inspired us about the possibilities of a better world.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report 7Th to 20Th March 2015 with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington
    British DX Club - Sheigra DXpedition Report 7th to 20th March 2015 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington Sheigra (“peaceful valley”), Sutherland, North West Scotland. Receivers Alan Pennington AOR AR 7030 Plus and Palstar pre-amp Dave Kenny AOR AR 7030 Plus and tuneable pre-amp Aerials (long-wire Beverages use 7-strand 0.2mm wire supported on 4-5ft bamboo canes) No 1 - 260 degrees 500m Beverage - terminated Caribbean, Central & South America No 2 - 300 degrees 500m Beverage - terminated North America No 3 – 340/170 deg 300m Beverage – un-terminated UK & Africa + general SW reception No 4 - 50 degrees 500m Beverage - terminated Far East & SE Asia We’d not been up to Sheigra in the month of March since 2002, as most DXpeditions have traditionally taken place in October or November. But this tiny crofting village in the far north-western corner of the Scottish mainland is always a draw for DXing or just to enjoy the wild open landscape. So, although very late in the MW DX season, we decided to chance a two-week DXpedition in March, ending on the day of a solar eclipse. Tony Rogers was unable to make this DXpedition, so just the two of us made the long drive north, for what records say is the 55 th DXpedition to Sheigra. We certainly missed the extra pair of hands putting up and taking down the long Beverage aerials! Our DX base for both weeks was Murdo’s cottage, a traditional crofters style house which we had used for the first time on the last Sheigra DXpedition in October 2013, and is more favourably sited for erecting aerials targeting the Americas.

Among the proposals is a mutual commitment "not to be the first to use either nuclear or conventional weapons." * The U.N.
