  • LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014
    THE LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014 Mayor Rahm Emanuel City Hall - 121 N LaSalle St. Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel, As co-chairs of the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum Site Selection Task Force, we are delighted to provide you with our report and recommendation for a site for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum. The response from Chicagoans to this opportunity has been tremendous. After considering more than 50 sites, discussing comments from our public forum and website, reviewing input from more than 300 students, and examining data from myriad sources, we are thrilled to recommend a site we believe not only meets the criteria you set out but also goes beyond to position the Museum as a new jewel in Chicago’s crown of iconic sites. Our recommendation offers to transform existing parking lots into a place where students, families, residents, and visitors from around our region and across the globe can learn together, enjoy nature, and be inspired. Speaking for all Task Force members, we were both honored to be asked to serve on this Task Force and a bit awed by your charge to us. The vision set forth by George Lucas is bold, and the stakes for Chicago are equally high. Chicago has a unique combination of attributes that sets it apart from other cities—a history of cultural vitality and groundbreaking arts, a tradition of achieving goals that once seemed impossible, a legacy of coming together around grand opportunities, and not least of all, a setting unrivaled in its natural and man-made beauty.

  • Scms 2017 Conference Program
    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.

    THE SHERLOCK HOLMES SOCIETY OF LONDON Founded as The Sherlock Holmes Society in 1934 ANNUAL DINNER Saturday 17th January 2015 The Society's sixty-second Annual Dinner will be held in the Members' Dining Room at the House of Commons, London, on Saturday 17th January 2014, at 6.30 for 7.30 pm. The title assigned to this year's function is THE GILLETTE JOLLIFICATION. We are much indebted to Bob Neill, who makes a welcome return as our sponsor as a sitting Member of Parliament, a requirement for all functions held in this unique venue. Bob is the Conservative Party Vice Chairman for Local Government and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Bromley and Chislehurst in June 2006, following a successful career as a barrister specialising in criminal law. We look forward to welcoming both him and all or most of our Honorary Members, as well as members of the Society from all over the world. By now, most members will have heard of the amazing discovery at the Cinémathèque Française of the silent film version of Sherlock Holmes starring William Gillette, directed by Arthur Berthelet and produced by Essanay Studios in 1916. For our 2015 Annual Dinner the Society is delighted to welcome Professor Russell Merritt, the supervising editor of the project to restore the film, long considered to have been lost. Gillette was the established foremost interpreter of Holmes on stage - his interpretation inspired the classic illustrations of Frederic Dorr Steele. Gillette, quite simply, was Sherlock Holmes. The film is now being digitally restored by the San Francisco Silent Film Festival and the Cinémathèque Française.

  • Funny Stuff: Silent Comedies and Cartoons
    Funny Stuff Silent Comedies and Cartoons Saturday, July 16, 2011 Grand Ilusion Cinema The Sprocket Society Seattle, WA About Two-Reeler Comedies In the 20 years before 1914, shorts were the show. And even decades after the feature film came along, shorts were a standard – and expected – part of every movie screening. At first movies were limited to the very short lengths of film that would fit in the camera, less than 1 or 2 minutes. Folks quickly figured out you could glue different shots together, and that you could then string those along to tell a longer story. But it would be some years before movies became more than a series of theatrically-staged tableaux and slice-of-life “actualities,” all filmed proscenium style. In the earliest days, exhibitors bought film prints outright and would craft programs from them. They’d often go on the road, touring their movie shows with accompanying lectures and music. There were even traveling tent shows. Soon the vaudeville houses also started showing shorts, which fit perfectly into their variety programming format. By 1905, the Nickelodeon era was in full swing in the US, made possible by moving to a rental distribution model instead of outright sales. Thousands of storefront screening rooms proliferated like mayflies all over the country, and in some cities they lined both sides of whole blocks. Your nickel got you about 30 minutes of mixed reels, with a new show usually every day. Folks would often go from one theater to another, right down the row. The profit was made in the high turnover, and audiences loved it.

    Dossiê: Patrimônio e Relações Internacionais https://doi.org/10.34019/2594-8296.2020.v26.31327 Regional Assets, Industrial Growth, Global Reach: the case study of the Film Industry in the San Francisco Bay area Ativos Regionais, Crescimento Industrial, Alcance Global: o estudo de caso da indústria cinematográfica na área da Baía de São Francisco Activos Regionales, Crecimiento Industrial, Alcance Global: el estudio de caso de la Industria Cinematográfica en el área de la Bahía de San Francisco Frédéric Leriche https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1865-2077 ABSTRACT: Within the US motion picture industry, Hollywood is a (big) tree that hides the forest. Indeed, in this industry, besides this powerful and dominating industrial cluster, there are other— though minor—clusters, particularly in New York and San Francisco. The paper focuses on the latter and argues that the development of the film industry in the San Francisco Bay Area relies on specific regional assets: (1) a unique urban context and experience, (2) a unique alternative culture, and (3) a world-class technological cluster. The paper starts by briefly describing the path dependency of the film industry in the Bay Area, and how the city of San Francisco has started (in the 1980s) to implement a dedicated policy aimed at promoting the development of this industry. In this context, the paper explores the way that the San Francisco Bay Area became an attractive place for filmmakers and the fact that the 1970s marked the beginning of a new regime of film Thanks to Leonor Botelho, Modesta Suárez, and Cécile Michoudet for their support.
