For Immediate Release Media Contact: Valerie Cisneros [email protected] 407-629-1088 x302 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SUSAN SARANDON, PAUL SORVINO, GIANCARLO ESPOSITO, SHAWN CHRISTENSEN TO ATTEND 2014 FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL Orlando, FL – (March 25, 2014) Enzian announced today the special events featuring celebrity guest appearances for the 23rd Annual Florida Film Festival, April 4-13, 2014, in Maitland and Winter Park, Florida, with Primary Sponsor Full Sail University and Primary Public Partner Orange County Government. For more information, visit http://www.floridafilmfestival.com/program/special-guests. The Florida Film Festival is excited and honored to welcome the following artists: Susan Sarandon The extremely versatile Susan Sarandon brings her own brand of sex appeal and intelligence to every role – from her fearless portrayal in Bull Durham to her Oscar®-nominated performances in Thelma and Louise, Lorenzo’s Oil, The Client, and Atlantic City to her Academy Award®-winning and SAG® Award- winning role in Dead Man Walking as Sister Helen, a nun consoling a death-row inmate. An Evening with Susan Sarandon, featuring Dead Man Walking Friday, April 11, 7:30-10:45PM, at Enzian Directed by Tim Robbins UK/USA, 1995, 122 minutes, Rated R Inspired by the true story of a nun’s relationship with a condemned man, this brilliantly acted, gripping, and provocative examination of crime and capital punishment earned Susan Sarandon the 1995 Oscar® for Best Actress and Sean Penn an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Sister Helen Prejean (Sarandon), a compassionate New Orleans nun, is the spiritual advisor to Matthew Poncelet (Penn), a vicious, angry, and complex murderer awaiting execution. Her dedication is to help others, like Matthew, find salvation. But as she attempts to navigate his dark soul, she encounters a depth of evil that makes her question how far redemption can really go. Can she stave off the fateful day of execution long enough to save Matthew, or will she discover a truth that will rock the very foundation by which she lives her life? Ms. Sarandon will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening. Paul Sorvino Paul Sorvino has appeared in more than 100 films, a variety of television shows, and as an accomplished stage actor won a Drama Desk Award in 1972 and was nominated for a Tony Award® in 1973 for his performance in the Broadway production of the dark comedy That Championship Season. On the big screen, he’s best known for his portrayal of tough guys and authority figures in such standout performances as "Paul Cicero" in Martin Scorsese’s 1990 film Goodfellas and stressed-out police chief Capt. Edelson in William Friedkin’s 1980 drama Cruising. An Afternoon with Paul Sorvino, featuring Goodfellas Sat, April 12th 11AM-2:45PM at Enzian Directed by Martin Scorsese USA, 1990, 146 minutes, Rated R Brilliantly adapted from Nicholas Pileggi’s true-life bestseller Wiseguy, GOODFELLAS is a colorful and superbly crafted look at the rise and fall of a mob insider. Directed and co-written (with the author) by Martin Scorsese, this modern masterpiece received six Academy Award® nominations (Joe Pesci won for Best Supporting Actor) and was voted “Best Picture of the Year” by the New York, Los Angeles, and National Societies of Film Critics. Filled with electrifying performances by a standout cast that includes Robert DeNiro, Paul Sorvino, Ray Liotta, and Lorraine Bracco, it stands as a modern American classic and one of the finest gangster films of all time. The late, great Roger Ebert himself called it “the best mob movie ever!” in the Chicago Sun-Times, and we are thrilled to be screening a terrific 35mm print, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Sorvino Asthma Foundation. Mr. Sorvino will be present for a Q&A following the film. Mr. Sorvino will also be in attendance at the screening of the Narrative Competition Feature, Last I Heard on Friday, April 11, at 4:15PM at Enzian. Giancarlo Esposito Giancarlo Esposito is a celebrated television, film, and stage actor whose acting career spans several decades and includes over 60 films. He is known for his roles in such films as Do the Right Thing, Ali, and The Usual Suspects. Esposito currently co-stars in the hit NBC drama series Revolution. Television audiences know him best from his iconic portrayal of drug kingpin Gustavo “Gus” Fring in AMC’s Breaking Bad, for which he won the 2012 Critics Choice Award and earned a 2012 Emmy nomination. An Evening with Giancarlo Esposito, featuring Do the Right Thing Sun, April 6th 7:30-10:30PM Enzian Directed by Spike Lee USA, 1989, 120 minutes, Rated R Has it really been 25 years? Nominated for two Academy Awards®, Spike Lee’s first great film, the highly acclaimed DO THE RIGHT THING, is as provocative and entertaining today as the day it was released. Spike’s third feature focuses on life in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn, where a white-owned pizza parlor flourishes in the predominantly black neighborhood. But on this particular sweltering summer day, circumstances lead to an outbreak of hostilities. Boasting a sensational cast that includes Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Giancarlo Esposito (as “Buggin’ Out”), John Turturro, Richard Edson, Bill Nunn, John Savage, Rosie Perez, Samuel L. Jackson, Martin Lawrence, and of course, Spike himself as Mookie the delivery boy, this landmark and incendiary film about race relations marked the arrival of a major new American filmmaker. Mr. Esposito will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening of a beautiful new digital restoration in celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary. Shawn Christensen Shawn Christensen is a filmmaker, musician, and painter. He formed indie rock band Stellastarr* in 2002, signing with RCA Records. In 2011, his short film “Brink” was an Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival. In 2013, he won the Oscar® for Best Live Action Short Film for his short film “Curfew.” Pushing the “Curfew”: A Case Study from Short to Feature A Festival Forum sponsored by Full Sail University Friday, April 11, 11AM–12:30PM at Enzian In 2012 the Florida Film Festival presented a short film called “Curfew” (which will be screened again at the start of this forum) by director/writer/actor/musician Shawn Christensen. In this dark comedy with a tender heart, a suicidal druggie gets a phone call from his estranged sister, who desperately needs him to look after his nine-year-old niece for a few hours. A huge hit at the Festival, months later it would go on to win an Academy Award® for Best Live Action Short. Now the multi-talented filmmaker has expanded the film into a terrific debut feature co-starring Emmy Rossum and Ron Perlman, Before I Disappear, screening as a Spotlight Film in this year’s Festival. Shawn and co-producer Damon Russell will talk about their Oscar®-winning journey from short to feature and take questions from the audience. Moderated by Dave Franko, VP of Academic Affairs at Full Sail University. Mr. Christensen will also be in attendance at the East Coast Premiere screening of Before I Disappear on Friday, April 11th at 7:00PM at Regal Winter Park Village and Saturday, April 12th at 9:15PM at Enzian.

  • Textual Analysis Film: Do the Right Thing (1989) Director: Spike Lee Sequence Running Time: 00:50:55 - 00:55:55 Word Count: 1745
    Student sample Textual Analysis Film: Do The Right Thing (1989) Director: Spike Lee Sequence Running Time: 00:50:55 - 00:55:55 Word Count: 1745 In this paper I will analyze an extract from Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing (1989) that reflects the political, geographical, social, and economical situations through Lee's stylistic use of cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, and sound to communicate the dynamics of the characters in the cultural melting pot that is Bedford-Stuyvesant,Brooklyn in New York City. This extract manifests Lee's artistic visions that are prevalent in the film and are contemplative of Lee's personal experience of growing up in Brooklyn. "This evenhandedness that is at the center of Spike Lee's work" (Ebert) is evident through Lee's techniques and the equal attention given to the residents of this neighborhood to present a social realism cinema. Released almost thirty years ago, Lee's film continues to empower the need for social change today with the Black Lives Matter movement and was even called "'culturally significant'by the U.S. Library of Congress" (History). Do The Right Thing takes place during the late 1980s in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn and unravels the "bigotry and violence" (Lee) in the neighborhood of a single summer day, specifically one of the hottest of the season. Being extremely socially conscious, Do The Right Thing illustrates the dangers of racism against African Americans and was motivated by injusticesof the time--especially in New York--such as the death of Yusef Hawkins and the Howard Beach racial incident.

    screenwritersmonthly.com | Screenwriter’s Monthly Give ‘em some credit! Johnny Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is amazing. As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first. Sure, some critics mentioned the writers when they declared the film "cliché" and attacked it. Since the previous Walt Disney Los Angeles film based on one of its theme park attractions was the unbear- able The Country Bears, Pirates of the Caribbean is surprisingly Above The Fold 370 N. Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90036 entertaining. But let’s face it. This wasn't intended to be serious (323) 935-8525 filmmaking. Not much is anymore in Hollywood. Recently the USA Today ran an article asking, basically, “What’s wrong with Hollywood?” Blockbusters are failing because Above The Fold 1257 3rd St. Promenade Santa Monica, CA attendance is down 3.3% from last year. It’s anyone’s guess why 90401 (310) 393-2690 this is happening, and frankly, it doesn’t matter, because next year the industry will be back in full force with the same schlep of Above The Fold 226 N.
