  • Mendocino Film Festival: 101 Years in the Making
    Real Estate Magazine Editorial 486 for Printing Mendocino Film Festival: 101 Years in the Making Story by Marcie Schorg Mission Statement—The Mendocino Film Festival is dedicated to providing quality independent films, documentaries, foreign films, and animation to audiences of all ages and cinematic tastes and to educate film and video students in the art of filmmaking and production. It was 1993 and I was sitting on the side of Little Lake Street in Mendocino with my friends watching the production of Pontiac Moon unfold as well as the unfolding of the relationship between Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson. The scene was held up because the snake handler couldn’t be located to bring the snake to the set. The snake had a “scene” with Ryan Todd, the boy playing Ted and Mary’s son. The scene finally got shot and Mary and Ted are still together. Fast-forward to the present and I’m in the company of other film buffs who are working hard to make the dream of a film festival here a reality. And, who also feel that with our rich heritage of filming here, a film festival seemed to be a logical thing to accomplish. An Idea Begins to Take Shape President of the Mendocino Film Festival board, Keith Brandman, recalls how the idea took hold. “I always thought a film festival was a good idea and brought it up at our local Chamber of Commerce retreat when I was on their board of directors. I began a discussion with an interested group but the idea didn’t go any further at that time.

Scénario: Lorenzo Semple Jr et Da- vid Rayfield d’après le roman Les six jours du condor de James Grady Image: Owen Roizman Montage: Don Guidice Musique: Dave Grusin Producteurs: Stanley Schneider et Dino De Laurentiis Interprétation: Robert Redford (Joe Turner), Faye Dunaway (Kathy Hale), Cliff Robertson (Higgins), Max Von Sydow (Joubert), John Houseman (Wabbash) Budget : environ 20 000 000 $ Format: 2.35:1 durée: 117 mn Tournage: 4 nov 74-21 fév 75. Sorties: USA: 24 septembre 75, France : 21 novembre 75 1 400 000 spectateurs Critiques et commentaires « Si je réalise un film avec des vedettes comme Robert Redford et Faye Dunaway, qui coûte 5 millions de dollars, je suis forcé de faire un film « populaire » et pas seulement pour une élite. mais je trouve qu’il est passionnant de prendre un genre comme le western, la « love story » ou le thriller et d’introduire des éléments politiques ou philosophiques, pour que ce ne soit pas seulement un produit de série. J’essaie de le rendre actuel et sensible à un vaste public. Aujourd’hui, il n’est pas vraiment dangereux de s’attaquer à des sujets comme celui-ci, alors qu’il y a quelques années, certaines personnes se seraient interposées. D’autre metteurs en scène s’attaquent aux problèmes actuels comme le Watergate: Alan J. Pakula vient de terminer Les hommes du président, avec aussi Robert Redford. Je crois qu’il s’agit là d’un prolongement de la série « politique-fiction »qui avait débuté dans les années soixante par exemple avec des films de John Frankenheimer (Sept jours en mai, Un crime dans la tête) Quelqu’un a écrit un article très intéressant sur ce qu’il a appelé la « paranoïa prophétique ».

  • Sob Sisters: the Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture
    SOB SISTERS: THE IMAGE OF THE FEMALE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE By Joe Saltzman Director, Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Joe Saltzman 2003 The Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture revolves around a dichotomy never quite resolved. The female journalist faces an ongoing dilemma: How to incorporate the masculine traits of journalism essential for success – being aggressive, self-reliant, curious, tough, ambitious, cynical, cocky, unsympathetic – while still being the woman society would like her to be – compassionate, caring, loving, maternal, sympathetic. Female reporters and editors in fiction have fought to overcome this central contradiction throughout the 20th century and are still fighting the battle today. Not much early fiction featured newswomen. Before 1880, there were few newspaperwomen and only about five novels written about them.1 Some real-life newswomen were well known – Margaret Fuller, Nelly Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane), Annie Laurie (Winifred Sweet or Winifred Black), Jennie June (Jane Cunningham Croly) – but most female journalists were not permitted to write on important topics. Front-page assignments, politics, finance and sports were not usually given to women. Top newsroom positions were for men only. Novels and short stories of Victorian America offered the prejudices of the day: Newspaper work, like most work outside the home, was for men only. Women were supposed to marry, have children and stay home. To become a journalist, women had to have a good excuse – perhaps a dead husband and starving children. Those who did write articles from home kept it to themselves. Few admitted they wrote for a living. Women who tried to have both marriage and a career flirted with disaster.2 The professional woman of the period was usually educated, single, and middle or upper class.
