  • Sicko: Sos Saúde - Uma Breve Análise Do Modelo De Gestão Público Ou Privado
    SICKO: SOS SAÚDE - UMA BREVE ANÁLISE DO MODELO DE GESTÃO PÚBLICO OU PRIVADO Maria Helena da Silva1, e-mail: [email protected] Marcella Nascimento Tenório Cavalcante1, e-mail: [email protected] Daniel Oliveira1, e-mail: daniel [email protected] Centro Universitário Tiradentes/Medicina/Alagoas, AL. 4.06.00.00-9 - Saúde Coletiva 4.06.02.00-1 - Saúde Pública RESUMO: Introdução; O dilema da oferta de serviço público versus privado é recorrente. Tem-se por exemplo, a questão da saúde de milhões de estadunidenses que vivem em um modelo totalmente neoliberal. No Brasil, apesar da oferta particular, grande parte do atendimento é fornecido pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), sendo este considerado o maior sistema de saúde gratuito e universal existente. Objetivos; Discorrer, a partir do documentário assistido, a relação entre a escassez de amparo social referente à saúde nos sistemas neoliberais, a exemplo dos Estados Unidos da América – EUA, frente ao Brasil onde se possui direitos consolidados de saúde gratuita, apesar da crescente oferta privada destes serviços. Metodologia; Análise documental do filme SiCKO - Where to Invade Next (Onde invadir agora) de autoria do diretor Michael Moore, gravado em vários países no ano de 2015. Foram verificadas as etapas de contexto, autoria, autenticidade e confiabilidade, natureza do documentário, os conceitos- chave e a lógica proposta pelo autor. Resultados; Para alguns países, a exemplo dos EUA, a questão da saúde é tida como mercadoria, destacando-se uma visão puramente biológica e não sistêmica da mesma. Tal ponto de vista, corrobora para a suposta necessidade de privatização, pois uma população não atendida nas suas carências, como qualidade de vida, emprego e lazer, torna- se doente e acredita que saúde é realmente um ponto focal, uma demanda a ser comprada, e não dependente da interligação de fatores que fazem a doença acontecer.

Alex Winter's assembly features appearances by Frank's widow Gail Zappa and several of Frank's musical collaborators including Mike Keneally, Ian Underwood, Steve Vai, Pamela Des Barres, Bunk Gardner, David Harrington, Scott Thunes, Ruth Underwood, Ray White and others. 49 west 27th street 7th floor new york, ny 10001 tel 212 924 6701 fax 212 924 6742 www.magpictures.com DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – ALEX WINTER It seemed striking to me and producer Glen Zipper that there had yet to be a definitive, all-access documentary on the life and times of Frank Zappa. We set out to make that film, to tell a story that is not a music doc, or a conventional biopic, but the dramatic saga of a great American artist and thinker; a film that would set out to convey the scope of Zappa’s prodigious and varied creative output, and the breadth of his extraordinary personal and political life.

  • Journey to the Academy Awards: an Investigation of Oscar-Shortlisted and Nominated Documentaries (2014-2016) PRELIMINARY KEY
    Journey to the Academy Awards: An Investigation of Oscar-Shortlisted and Nominated Documentaries (2014-2016) PRELIMINARY KEY FINDINGS By Caty Borum Chattoo, Co-Director, Center for Media & Social Impact American University School of Communication | Washington, D.C. February 2016 OVERVIEW For a documentary filmmaker, being recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for an Oscar nomination in the Best Documentary Feature category is often the pinnacle moment in a career. Beyond the celebratory achievement, the acknowledgment can open up doors for funding and opportunities for next films and career opportunities. The formal recognition happens in three phases: It begins in December with the Academy’s announcement of a shortlist—15 films that advance to a formal nomination for the Academy’s Best Documentary Feature Award. Then, in mid-January, the final list of five official nominations is announced. Finally, at the end of February each year, the one winner is announced at the Academy Awards ceremony. Beyond a film’s narrative and technical prowess, the marketing campaigns that help a documentary make it to the shortlist and then the final nomination list are increasingly expensive and insular, from advertisements in entertainment trade outlets to lavish events to build buzz among Academy members and industry influencers. What does it take for a documentary film and its director and producer to make it to the top—the Oscars shortlist, the nomination and the win? Which film directors are recognized—in terms of race and gender?

  • Bowling for Columbine Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Bowling for Columbine Discussion Guide Director: Michael Moore Year: 2002 Time: 120 min You might know this director from: Where to Invade Next (2015) Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) Slacker Uprising (2007) Sicko (2007) Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) The Big One (1997) Roger & Me (1989) FILM SUMMARY Guns are a fixed feature of American culture. Like cheeseburgers, Hollywood, James Dean, and the Star- Spangled Banner, the concept of what makes the U.S.A. the infamous country it is can be traced back to guns. But when Americans begin wielding these lethal weapons against one another and the media perpetuates an overriding sensation of fear and insecurity, people begin to ask: what’s happening to us? When the lives of 12 students and one teacher were taken by two students on April 20, 1999, in the Columbine High School massacre, everyone listened up. Children, the supposedly innocent of the world, were suddenly wielding immense power. The U.S. was in a state of shock, fear reigned, and gun sales increased. Michael Moore made BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, his attempt at understanding what was going on in his homeland. The obvious culprits present themselves time and again. Poverty, racial inequality, a history of violence, aggression on the television, a propensity for war, an obsession with the right to own a weapon offer themselves as the reasons why such an atrocity could take place. Moore travels across the continental United States, asking the average American about their relationship with guns. Then he crosses the Canadian border, to explore the relationship this northern neighbor has to with guns without the corresponding violence.

  • Documentary Film 3. Filmmakers' Theories Introduction
    Component 2 Global filmmaking perspectives Section B: Documentary Film 3. Filmmakers’ Theories Introduction (from the specification) The documentary film will be explored in relation to key filmmakers from the genre. The documentary film studied may either directly embody aspects of these theories or work in a way that strongly challenges these theories. In either case, the theories will provide a means of exploring different approaches to documentary film and filmmaking. Two of the following filmmakers' theories must be chosen for study: Peter Watkins Watkins established his reputation with two docu-dramas from the 1960s, Culloden and The War Game. Both document events from the past using actors and reconstruction. In asking questions of conventional documentary, Watkins reflects his deep concern with mainstream media, which he has called the ‘monoform’. Nick Broomfield Broomfield, like Michael Moore, has developed a participatory, performative mode of documentary filmmaking. Broomfield is an investigative documentarist with a distinctive interview technique which he uses to expose people's real views. Like Watson, he keeps the filmmaking presence to a minimum, normally with a crew of no more than three. He describes his films as 'like a rollercoaster ride. They’re like a diary into the future.' 1 Kim Longinotto Longinotto has said 'I don’t think of films as documents or records of things. I try to make them as like the experience of watching a fiction film as possible, though, of course, nothing is ever set up.' Her work is about finding characters that the audience will identify with – 'you can make this jump into someone else’s experience'.

  • Where to Invade Next – a New Film by Michael Moore That Promotes the ERA
    Where to Invade Next – A New Film by Michael Moore that Promotes the ERA Dec. 11, 2015 Even though documentary film maker and Academy Award winner Michael Moore said after he finished his last film, Capitalism, A Love Story (2009), that he was through with making movies – he apparently didn’t mean it. And it is a good thing for us. Where to Invade Next, is the tongue-in-cheek title of this funny and ironic documentary which makes the case for empowering women and bringing back to the U.S. our original ideas which have helped Europeans flourish. The film opens nationwide on February 12. Restoring a Prosperous and Hopeful Nation - Moore went looking for America’s best ideas in Europe and he found many of them alive and well – even though most have long since disappeared from the American scene. Humane working environments that respect worker input, wages and salaries that support a middle class lifestyle, paid parental leave and paid vacations for all, primary and secondary education geared to student needs and not to standardized tests, a no tuition college education, nutritious and appealing school lunches, no laws against drug abuse, no capital punishment, rehabilitation for prisoners, and many more policies what would restore prosperity and hope in this country. Moore points out that taxation in the countries he visited isn’t dramatically higher than it is in the U.S. – contrary to right-wingers’ propaganda. A major conclusion of film is that countries need to put women in charge, and he demonstrates the point by what happened in Iceland when male bankers wrecked that nation’s economy.

  • Where to Invade Next Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Where to Invade Next Discussion Guide Director: Michael Moore Year: 2015 Time: 120 min You might know this director from: Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) Slacker Uprising (2007) Sicko (2007) Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) Bowling for Columbine (2002) The Big One (1997) Canadian Bacon (1995) Roger & Me (1989) FILM SUMMARY Michael Moore is known for his tendency to question the status quo, to poke a comical finger at the more questionable policies of his American homeland. Having tackled everything from handguns to heathcare, his work has primarily been directed inwards as he documents real people living real lives on U.S. soil. In WHERE TO INVADE NEXT, Moore leaves the North American continent, with flags in hand ready to plant them on foreign soil. He heads to Europe with a stop-over in North Africa, ready to stake claim to the great policies in action elsewhere as America’s own. Presented as an invasion on some of the most utopian examples of governance alive today, the film maintains a relatively upbeat tone. Never resting for too long on criticisms of American policy, Moore instead lets the happy examples elsewhere do the convincing. Rather than leaving the humanity of a Norwegian prison or the political potency of women in Iceland feeling resentful of his own nationality, Moore turns it on its head with a statement of patriotism: “These weren’t European ideas. These weren’t new ideas. These were our ideas.” Many of the interviewees point out that many of their own policies mirror the intentions of America’s founding fathers.

  • THE AUDIENCE HAS SPOKEN 51St Chicago International Film Festival Announces Audience Choice Award Winners
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: Lisa Dell 312-683-0121 x125 [email protected] THE AUDIENCE HAS SPOKEN 51st Chicago International Film Festival Announces Audience Choice Award Winners (CHICAGO, Nov 3, 2015) - Cinema/Chicago’s 51st Chicago International Film Festival announces the winners of its Audience Choice Awards.
