The Face of an Angel Synopsis THE FACE OF AN ANGEL SYNOPSIS The brutal murder of a Bri1sh student in Tuscany leads to the trial and convic1on of her American flatmate and Italian boyfriend in controversial circumstances. The media feeding frenzy around the case aracts once successful, but now struggling filmmaker Thomas, to be commissioned to write a film - 'The Face of an Angel', based on a book by Simone Ford an American journalist who covered the case. From Rome they head to Siena to research the film. Thomas has recently separated from his wife in a bi=er divorce and leI his 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles. This unravelling of his own life, and the dark mediaeval atmosphere surrounding the case, begins to drag him down into his own personal hell. Like Dante journeying through the Inferno in the Divine Comedy, with Simone as his guide to the tragedy of the murder, Thomas starts a relaonship with a student Melanie. This is a beau1ful, unrequited love, where she acts as a guide to his own heart. He comes to realise the most important thing in his life is not solving an unsolvable crime, or wri1ng the film, but returning to the daughter he has leI behind. | THE FACE OF AN ANGEL | 1 SHEET | 15.10.2013 | 1!5 THE FACE OF AN ANGEL CAST DANIEL BRÜHL KATE BECKINSALE In 2003 Daniel Brühl took the leading role in the box office smash Good English actress Kate Beckinsale is revealing herself to be one of films’ Bye Lenin!, which became one of Germany’s biggest box office hits of all most versale and charismac actresses.

  • Brian Baker “Here on the Outside”: Mobility and Bio-Politics in Michael
    MOBILITY AND BIO-POLITICS IN CODE 46 115 Brian Baker “Here on the Outside”: Mobility and Bio-politics in Michael Winterbottom’s Code 46 This article takes as its focus the representation of mobility and bio-politics in contemporary sf cinema. Globalized networks of mobility in late capitalism have been haunted by the figure of the globally mobile terrorist and by the possibility of global pandemics such as the SARS epidemic of 2002-03 or the H1N1 swine flu panic of 2009 which resulted in the UK government stockpiling anti-viral drugs in case of the spread of a “killer virus.” In an increasingly mobilized world, anxieties about movement of people, transmission of data and disease, and terrorism produce systems for policing and regulating mobility. These anxieties are articulated in contemporary spy thrillers, zombie films, and outbreak or transmission narratives.1 In what follows, Michael Winterbottom’s Code 46 (2003) serves as a diagnostic text for the analysis of figurations of globalized mobility and bio-politics, and this article uses the work of Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault, and Hannah Arendt to investigate Code 46’s mapping of exclusion and inclusion, of the refugee and the citizen, within regulatory systems for the control of mobility in a near-future, post-catastrophic world of globalized capital. Code 46 begins with shots of the desert, of roads, and of dispersed settlements taken from a low-flying airplane. These vertical shots (desert analogues of the vertical shots of Manhattan or other North American cities that are a staple of contemporary crime film and television) render landscape as geometry, not as lived space from a human perspective (using perspective) but from an impersonal, “God’s eye” point of view.

Matt, who is fascinated by Antarctica, is visiting the white continent and recalling his love affair with Lisa. In voice-over, he compares being in Antarctica to being ‘two people in a bed - claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place’.

    ! JIM STURGESS & KOJI YAKUSHO TO STAR IN “DEFENDING THE ENEMY” ! Los Angeles, CA, May 16, 2014– Producer Jonathan Sanger announced today Jim Sturgess & Koji Yakusho will star in the new feature film, “Defending the Enemy.” James Moll is attached to direct. Based on the book “A Trial of Generals,” the story follows the widely publicized war crimes trial of General Matsaharu Homma at the end of WWII. Accused of organizing the brutal death march in Bataan, Philippines, Homma‘s destiny appears doomed when General MacArthur assigns the neophyte defense attorney John Skeen to prepare his defense. Based on actual events, the story is not so much about a trial as it is about the nobility of two very different soldiers. Principal photography is set for August. Executive Producer, Ellen Wander, along with her company, Film Bridge International, is overseeing the financing and worldwide distribution for “Defending the Enemy.” ! The UK actor, Jim Sturgess had his breakthrough role as “Jude” in the feature film, “Across the Universe.” He soon followed played opposite Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Eric Bana in "The Other Boleyn Girl” and starred opposite Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne in "21." Sturgess also received critical acclaim in the Ridley Scott’s award winning, “Heartless” and most recently starred with Geoffrey Rush in Giuseppe Tornatore’s “La migliore offerta” and opposite Patricia Arquette and Chloë Sevigny as a furniture salesman turned bank robber in the feature film, “Electric Slide.” !

  • Tracing the Production of Alleged Female Killers Through Discourse, Image, and Speculation by Emily Hiltz
    The Notorious Woman: Tracing the Production of Alleged Female Killers through Discourse, Image, and Speculation by Emily Hiltz A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Emily Hiltz Abstract This dissertation examines the visual and discursive production of female notoriety through the multi-mediated circulation of five images of Amanda Knox and Jodi Arias, who were both convicted of murder; Knox was eventually acquitted. This project employs visual discourse analysis to trace the movement and cultural use of widely shared and debated photographic images by consulting a broad visual corpus of mainstream American media content produced from 2007 to 2016. I argue notoriety is produced out of a necessary general relation of speculation that is (re)produced in processes of mass mediation. I illustrate the visual formation of notoriety by following the cultural use and spread of the selected digital images. Here I claim contemporary notoriety is fueled by repeated calls to speculate and judge images that seemingly resist full understanding while they are also used as evidence of perceived legal and sexual transgressions. This continual play to investigate, interpret, and define ambiguous imagery are key cultural practices that generate notoriety, for these relations compel further judgment and scrutiny. The dissertation draws critical attention to the cultural and visual practices tied to the creation of notoriety in contexts of digital mass media circulation, and questions the types of knowledge and spectatorship that are encouraged as images circulate over time and medium.

  • Relationships & Sexuality
    A HANDBOOK FOR AND BY AUTISTIC PEOPLE relationships & sexuality Edited by Elesia Ashkenazy & Melanie Yergeau A project produced by Autism NOW, a national initiative of The Arc, and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network Copyright 2013 Autistic Self Advocacy Network and individual authors Requests for permission to use materials from this project in new publications should be directed to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network: Autistic Self Advocacy Network PO Box 66122 Washington, DC 20035 http://autisticadvocacy.org DESIGN Typeset in Arial Book and cover design: Melanie Yergeau | 2 Acknowledgments This book is but a first. In the months we spent planning and editing and poring over pages, we realized, all too quickly, how little has been said about autism and sexuality. And again, all too quickly, we recognized that any anthology on autistic relationships would represent but a sampling of our community’s diversity. And so, this book is a first. We are proud to say that it will not be the last. A truly collective effort, Relationships & Sexuality represents the skills, wisdom, and labor of many. First, we wish to thank our project’s sponsors, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, The Arc, and the Autism NOW Center. Throughout the project, members from each organization lent time and advice. In particular, we’d like to thank Tonia Ferguson, Melody Latimer, and Ari Ne’eman for their continued expertise. We also thank Melanie Yergeau, who served as our typesetter, collator, and copy editor. Bethany Stevens, our inimitable reviewer, guided us through early drafts. Her always incisive comments shaped the direction and scope of this project, for which we cannot thank her enough.
