Cinema Sundays Continues Its Look at Television with the Deliciously Racy Masters of Sex Hosted by TED WALCH Sundays at 3PM in the Ahmanson Lecture Hall Harvard-Westlake School, Coldwater Campus Sponsored by the Kutler Center Silent film star Harold Lloyd plays an everyman who challenges the world around him. He’ll take your breath away with his astonishing stunts, even as he keeps you laughing. OCT He’s a comic genius par excellence, and his granddaughter, SUZANNE LLOYD, SAFETY LAST! is a celebrated and riveting spokesperson for his films. She will be joined by pianist 01 MICHAEL D. MORTILLA who will accompany the film, live and in person, just as it might (1923) | 1h 7m have been back in the day. It’s a grand way to begin the season. An instant masterpiece, Get Out is a mystery thriller that grabs you by the throat every OCT time you start to laugh – and vice-versa. Host TED WALCH and A GUEST TO BE GET OUT ANNOUNCED will lead an invigorating discussion of this film, which has staked out new 08 territory in the barren field that is sometimes Hollywood. (2017) | 1h 44m JULIE COBB presents her father, Lee J. Cobb, in his larger-than-life portrayal of OCT ON THE a mob-corrupted union boss in Elia Kazan’s masterpiece, On the Waterfront. It’s an all-star cast, including Marlon Brando, Eva Marie Saint, Rod Steiger, and Cobb. WATERFRONT Leonard Bernstein’s score is the icing on the cake. Julie Cobb will be in charge. It’s 22 a Sunday not to be missed. (1954) | 1h 48m As a break-out experience for all of us, visual artist and magnetic presenter CRASH McCREERY will tell us the whole story behind the visual development and extraordinary FEB character design for the offbeat, richly entertaining animated Western Rango. Host Ted RANGO Walch admits that this is for him this season’s most exciting Sunday. Once you’ve met 25 Crash and experienced the evolution of his designs, you’ll understand why. (2011) | 1h 51m Cinema Sundays continues its look at television with the deliciously racy Masters of Sex. Using the story of sex researchers Masters and Johnson as their springboard, MAR MASTERS show-runner MICHELLE ASHFORD and executive producer SARAH TIMBERMAN weave stories that leap from fact to fiction to get at the truth of our animal natures. It’s 11 OF SEX all wildly entertaining. Ashford and Timberman promise to bring an actor or two with (2013-16) | 1h 45m them. We’ll show the pilot and then a specially selected episode. Stay tuned. Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation won the Grand Prize at Cannes in 1974. Gene Hackman gives what many believe to be his finest performance as a MAR THE surveillance expert caught in a moral quandary with the highest possible stakes. This film not only gets under your skin, it burrows there. It asks hard questions. It 18 CONVERSATION fascinates at every turn. Alumna REBECCA VAN DUSEN, winner of Walch’s Cinema (1974) | 1h 53m Studies Award in 2013, leads the discussion. Called “the finest pure trial movie ever made,” director Otto Preminger’s masterpiece APR both skewers and celebrates our judicial system. James Stewart is brilliant in his ANATOMY portrayal of a dogged defense attorney, as are Lee Remick and Ben Gazzara. Duke Ellington’s score and Sam Leavitt’s photography perfectly capture the bleak beauty of 22 OF A MURDER Michigan’s Upper Penisula. Author and Cinema Sundays favorite, SAM WASSON, is our (1959) | 2h 41m presenter. Because of the film’s length, the day will end at 6:30 pm. Taken from a true account (1798) of “the wild child of Aveyron,” this nearly perfect APR film is a dispassionate, yet heartfelt look at education. François Truffaut directs and THE WILD CHILD stars, as Dr. Itard, the teacher/researcher who tames the wild child. We are riveted 29 (L’Enfant Sauvage) from start to finish in this finely focused meditation on what we do with “the other,” and how we think about “the normal” and “the teachable.” Your host, TED WALCH, (1970) | 1h 26m will hold forth with psychologist DR. SOPHIE WASSON. Ranked #2 on AFI’s list of “Funniest American Movies of All Time,” Tootsie earns its MAY laughs by digging deeply into a question that burns even more keenly today – what TOOTSIE does gender really mean? It’s one of the funniest movies ever made. It’s also one of the 06 most heartfelt. Your host loves this film, and he cannot wait to share it with you. (1982) | 1h 59m A dark and haunting romantic drama, exquisitely told with fiercely spare dialogue and MAY lush visual majesty, becomes a cinematic poem of rare beauty. Starring Richard Gere, DAYS Brooke Adams, and the late Sam Shepard, Days of Heaven is director Terrence Malick’s undisputed masterpiece. Alumnus and 2016 Cinema Studies Award Winner JAVI 13 OF HEAVEN ARANGO, who last year explicated BIUTIFUL so eloquently, will present the film and (1978) | 1h 35m take your questions. What better way to close the season than with the sunniest, funniest, most infectiously entertaining movie musical ever made, Singin’ in the Rain. The late Debbie Reynolds was MAY SINGIN’ just 19 when she was cast alongside dancing giants Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor. Together, they dazzle. Our season began with a silent movie. Enjoy season’s end in this 20 IN THE RAIN glorious movie musical set late in the silent era, when movies were beginning to find their voice and Hollywood was set on its ear in more ways than one.

    BFI POLL REVEALS UK’S FAVOURITE BLACK STAR PERFORMANCE: SIDNEY POITIER AS “MISTER TIBBS” In the Heat of the Night Angela Bassett’s courageous portrayal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It voted as top performance by over 100 industry experts London: (embargoed until 16:30 BST) Thursday 20 October, 2016 – To mark this week’s official launch of its BLACK STAR season, the BFI announced today that Sidney Poitier’s critically-acclaimed and seminal performance as Detective Virgil Tibbs in In the Heat of the Night (dir. Norman Jewison, 1967) has been voted the public’s Favourite Black Star Performance in a poll which included 100 performances spanning over 80 years in film and TV. Running alongside the public poll, a separate poll of over 100 industry experts voted for Angela Bassett’s Oscar®- nominated performance as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It (dir. Brian Gibson, 1993). UK Public Poll Pam Grier followed in second place with her terrific turn as the titular character in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown – an homage to the 1970’s era of Blaxploitation films in America; Michael K. Williams was number three with his unforgettable portrayal of the legendary Omar Little, the openly gay, notorious stick-up man with a strict moral code feared by drug dealers across the city of Baltimore, in the socially and politically charged hit television series The Wire. British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor followed in fourth with his visceral portrayal of Solomon Northup, his break-out performance in Steve McQueen’s ground-breaking, Oscar®-winning true story, 12 Years A Slave; and Morgan Freeman rounded out the top five with his acclaimed, quiet and layered performance in Frank Darabont’s Oscar®-nominated cult classic, The Shawshank Redemption.

  • I'm a Sicilian American
    I’m a Sicilian American Dedicated to my parents Gaetano and Rosa Alessi Coniglio and my eldest brother Guy , who came to America in 1913 and 1914 from Serradifalco, SICILY . I’m a Sicilian American. I’m a Sicilian American. I’m the son of immigrants who left a land of history and beauty, of poets and dreamers, volcanoes and olive trees. A land that taught the world what a modern nation could be, before most modern nations existed. A land that formed the largest country, The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies , from Naples and Abruzzo to Messina and Palermo, that was subsumed into the new ‘Kingdom of Italy’ after the ‘unification’. My parents left because for all its lore and loveliness, and their fierce pride in it, Sicily was poor and demeaned, and could offer little hope for their family’s future. I’m a Sicilian American. My heritage includes mythical Persephone, Vulcan, and Icarus; Greek scholars Archimedes, Empedocles and Diodorus Siculus; composers Bellini and Scarlatti, and writers Verga and Sciascia. I’m a Sicilian American. I’m Antonio Crisafi. I came before there was a United States and in 1696 commanded the fort at Onondaga. I’m Padre Saverio Saetta, who died in 1695 while bringing Christianity to the New World. I’m Enrico Fardella, who fought against the Bourbons in Sicily, one of the first people’s revolutions in Europe, in 1848, and then became a brigadier general in America’s Civil War. I’m a Sicilian American. I’m a descendant of Southern Italian immigrants who formed 80% of the ‘Italians’ who came to America in the ‘Great Migration’ of the late 1800s and early 1900s, most, from the island of Sicily.

  • An Interview with Raoul Peck
    INTERVIEW “He Gave Me the Words”: An Interview with Raoul Peck Leah Mirakhor Yale University Abstract I Am Not Your Negro (2016) takes its direction from the notes for a book enti- tled “Remember this House” that James Baldwin left unfinished, a book about his three friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.— their murders, and their intertwining legacies. The film examines the prophetic shadow Baldwin’s work casts on twentieth- and twenty-first-century American politics and culture. Peck compiles archival material from Baldwin’s interviews on The Dick Cavett Show, his 1965 Cambridge lecture, and a series of banal images indexing the American dream. Juxtaposed against this mythology is footage of Dorothy Counts walking to school, the assassination of black leaders and activists, KKK rallies, and the different formations of the contemporary carceral state. Our conversation examines Peck’s role as a filmmaker and his relationship with the Baldwin estate. Additionally, we discussed a series of aesthetic choices he fought to include in the film’s final cut, directing Samuel L. Jackson as the voice for the film, the similarities and shifts he wanted to document in American culture since the 1960s, and some of the criticism he has received for not emphasizing more Baldwin’s sexuality. Keywords: James Baldwin, Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, race, film, America, The Devil Finds Work, “Remember this House,” violence, sexuality, Patrice Lumumba, film I Am Not Your Negro (2016) is a work that has been a lifetime in the making for Raoul Peck. Before he met James Baldwin’s younger sister, Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, a decade ago at her home in Washington D.C.

  • CABARET MAXIME Lands US Distribution Rights at Giant Pictures, Sets Premiere Date for February 2020
    CABARET MAXIME lands US Distribution Rights at Giant Pictures, sets premiere date for February 2020 New York, NY – December, XX, 2019 – Giant Pictures has acquired the US rights for Bruno de Almeida's new movie, Cabaret Maxime, starring Michael Imperioli. It will open theatrically at the Metrograph in NYC on February 21st, ahead of a national, multi-platform rollout on March 3rd. Michael Imperioli plays Bennie Gazza, the owner of Cabaret Maxime, a nightclub in an old, red-light district where a group of colorful characters perform musical numbers, as well as burlesque and striptease acts. Bennie runs the cabaret like a tight family, dealing with each artist’s unique personality while taking care of his performer wife, Stella, who suffers from manic depression. When the once-decadent neighborhood starts to become gentrified, Bennie struggles to keep his club afloat. As the residents are being bought up and pushed out, Benny is violently threatened when he refuses to sell. The pressure builds to a dramatic climax as Benny is forced to take a stand against the powers that be. Michael Imperioli is best known for his Emmy-winning role as Christopher Moltisanti on the HBO television series, The Sopranos. In 1990, he made his film debut as Spider in Martin Scorsese's, Goodfellas. He has since appeared in more than 90 feature films and television series. He has worked with such notable directors and actors as Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Abel Ferrara, Peter Jackson, Walter Hill, Mary Harron, Cindy Sherman, Ben Gazzara, Robert De Niro, Rachel Weisz, Christopher Walken, Joe Pesci, Edie Falco, James Gandolfini, and many others.
