Here We Are on the 200Th Anniversary of His Classic Story, Celebrating His Legacy of Artistic Inspiration and Achievement at the Nexus of the Tale Itself WELCOME 1ST ANNUAL SLEEPY HOLLOW INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Could Washington Irving have predicted the enduring impact “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” would have on the world when it was published in 1819? Perhaps not. And yet here we are on the 200th anniversary of his classic story, celebrating his legacy of artistic inspiration and achievement at the nexus of the tale itself. The Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic and literary-themed wonders—a one-of-a-kind combination of film premieres, exclusive screenings, live events, scripts in competition as well as special guests, panels and much more, all taking place in the historic Hudson Valley during its magical, and wildly popular, Halloween season. All of us with SHIFF are thrilled to welcome you to be part of history with this first-ever large-scale genre film festival in Westchester County, NY, in one of the most famous locations in the entire world. We extend a special thanks to the fine folk, governments and associations of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, the wondrous Tarrytown Music Hall and Warner Library, who proudly keep the spirit of Irving alive each and every day. So, for the next four days, revel in the inception of a new legend here in the Hollow. Enjoy, and let the bewitching begin! —The SHIFF Team Co-Founder/Director, Business Affairs DAVE NORRIS Advisory Board Lead Programmer DAN McKEON CHRIS POGGIALI FREDERICK K.

  • A Report from Depaul University School of Music 2008–09
    SOUND INVESTMENT A Report from DePaul University09 School of Music 2008–09 letter from the dean october, 2009 Dear Friend, Our school was founded nearly a century ago, with modest (some would say “paltry”) facilities and limited expectations, but also with a fervent commitment to serve and the hopes that the new school would not only endure but become “respectable.” Now, 97 years later, we can look back over many generations of capable students and a very long string of dedicated and altogether memorable faculty and staff, and be genuinely astonished at all that these many folks accomplished. The DePaul School of Music rightly stands today as peer to the few finest and most celebrated music schools in America. I wonder if our founders ever imagined such a destiny for their fledgling cause. It was our faculty and staff who in large measure fueled this development—together with University leaders who sustained a faith in our part of DePaul’s story—who believed that a strong school of music could emerge from such modest circumstances and at a University that lived meagerly. Beyond that, it was giving and sacrifice that has made the difference, as individuals such as yourself gave the School what the University could not. Those gifts are woven into the fabric of what we’ve become and are now an Donald E. Casey important part of what we are. Whether the gifts were of a few dollars or a million or more, we are and Dean of the School of Music always will be deeply grateful. 2008-09 Now, though, we turn our gaze forward and imagine what the School of Music at DePaul will become.

[email protected] [my preferred method] 812-335-9868 (home) This syllabus is available in alternative formats upon request. Overview The vampire is one of the most popular and enduring images in the world, giving rise to hundreds of monster movies around the globe every year, not to mention novels, short stories, plays, TV shows, and commercial merchandise. Yet the Western vampire image that we know from the film, television, and literature of today is very different from its eastern European progenitor. Nina Auerbach has said that "every age creates the vampire that it needs." In this course we will explore the eastern European origins of the vampire, similar entities in other cultures that predate them, and how the vampire in its look, nature, vulnerabilities, and threat has changed over the centuries. This approach will provide us with the means to learn about the geography, village and urban cultures, traditional social structure, and religions of eastern Europe; the nature and manifestations of Evil and the concept of Limited Good; physical, temporal, and societal boundaries and ritual passage that accompany them; and major historical and intellectual periods (the settlement of Europe, the Age of Reason, Romanticism, Neo-classicism, the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, up to today).

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.
