  • Programma Per Le Scuole
    programma speciale Rom città aperta Mercoledì 2 e giovedì 3 dicembre, Cinema Massimo 3 Si rinnova la collaborazione del Festival con il Centro Nazionale di Documentazione e Analisi per l’Infanzia e l’Adolescenza (CNDA) - Istituto degli Innocenti, il più importante osservatorio italiano sul mondo dei minori, che promuove a Sottodiciotto l’iniziativa “Rom città aperta”. Attraverso due giorni (mercoledì 2 e giovedì 3 dicembre) di proiezioni, performance musicali, incontri, tavole rotonde, l’iniziativa si prefigge di incontrare l’universo Rom senza pregiudizi, affrontando da ogni punto di vista le contraddizioni e le risorse della cultura gitana, ragionando sulle spinte all’integrazione delle nuove generazioni e sul bisogno di mantenere radici e tradizioni di quelle vecchie. Il programma speciale – il cui titolo vuole essere anche un implicito omaggio a chi ha ‘reinventato’ il cinema al servizio del reale e lo ha trasformato in un vero strumento di conoscenza, ovvero Roberto Rossellini – è curato da un gruppo composito e trasversale, composto dalla giovanissima Laura Halilovic – “scoperta” da Sottodiciotto due anni fa quando vinse il Concorso Under 18 Exstrascuola con il cortometraggio Illusione, oggi regista di Io, la mia famiglia Rom e Woody Allen, vincitore del Premio UCCA Venticittà all’ultimo Bellaria Film Festival – e da Marco Dalla Gassa e Fabrizio Colamartino, docenti e critici cinematografici, esperti del CNDA. L’idea portante che ha guidato la selezione dei film e l’allestimento delle altre iniziative del programma, è quella di partire dalle rappresentazioni dei Rom più codificate e irrorate di stereotipi e luoghi comuni, per eroderle dall’interno con immagini, musiche, parole, ritmi, andando oltre gli steccati ideologici e la contingenza della cronaca, per far emergere una realtà che, molto più spesso di quanto non si creda, vive una integrazione possibile e praticabile, spesso portata avanti con passione proprio dalle generazioni più giovani.

    Jeanie Macpherson Also Known As: Columbia University Academic Commons Jeanie MacPherson,provided by Jeannie MacPherson View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE brought to you by Lived: May 18, 1888 - August 26, 1946 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Jane Gaines Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915 through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D. W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there— a one-reel Western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident, the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38). There are several versions of how Jeanie Macpherson, out of work after The Tarantula, was hired by DeMille at the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The most elaborate version is from Higham, who describes Macpherson’s attempt to get an acting job as involving a series of battles between the two while the director was shooting Rose of the Rancho (1914) (38–40).

    Marion Leonard Lived: June 9, 1881 - January 9, 1956 Worked as: film actress, producer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Sarah Delahousse It is well known that Florence Lawrence, the first “Biograph Girl,” was frustrated in her desire to exploit her fame by the company that did not, in those years, advertise their players’ names. Lawrence is thought to have been made the first motion picture star by an ingenious ploy on the part of IMP, the studio that hired her after she left the Biograph Company. But the emphasis on the “first star” eclipses the number of popular female players who vied for stardom and the publicity gambles they took to achieve it. Eileen Bowser has argued that Lawrence was “tied with” the “Vitagraph Girl,” Florence Turner, for the honorific, “first movie star” (1990, 112). In 1909, the year after Lawrence left Biograph, Marion Leonard replaced her as the “Biograph Girl.” At the end of 1911, Leonard would be part of the trend in which favorite players began to find ways to exploit their popularity, but she went further, establishing the first “star company,” according to Karen Mahar (62). Leonard had joined the Biograph Company in 1908 after leaving the Kalem Company, where she had briefly replaced Gene Gauntier as its leading lady. Her Kalem films no longer exist nor are they included in any published filmography, and few sources touch on her pre-Biograph career. Thus it is difficult to assess her total career. However, Marion Leonard was most likely a talented player as indicated by her rapid ascension to the larger and more prominent studio.

  • Mary Pickford
    Mary Pickford Also Known As: Mary Pickford Rogers, Gladys Smith, Gladys Louise Smith, Gladys Mary Smith Lived: April 8, 1892 - May 29, 1979 Worked as: company director, distributor, film actress, film company founding partner, producer, screenwriter, theatre actress Worked In: United States by Christel Schmidt Mary Pickford was born Gladys Smith in 1892 in Toronto, Canada. After her father was killed in an accident, Gladys became the family’s main breadwinner by performing in the theatre. She was seven years old. In fact, the stage became a family venture, as her younger siblings Lottie and Jack and even her mother took up the trade. But the drive and determination to be a star belonged solely to Gladys. In 1907, her ambition would take her to Broadway and famed producer-director David Belasco, who changed her name to Mary Pickford and gave her a part in “The Warrens of Virginia.” In 1909, when Pickford was between stage engagements, she approached director D. W. Griffith at the Biograph Company in New York and asked for work in moving pictures. She had no intention of working permanently in the new medium, but hoped the income would tide her over before she went back to Belasco and the stage. Pickford was intrigued with film acting, and before long she began to enjoy “posing” for motion pictures. She stayed with the Biograph Company, working as both an actress and writer from 1909 to 1911, leaving for a brief stint with the Independent Motion Picture Company (IMP), and later with Majestic Pictures Corporation. She returned to Griffith at Biograph in early 1912, finishing out the year with him.

    12/4/2020 Florence Lawrence – Women Film Pioneers Project Florence Lawrence Also Known As: Florence Annie Bridgwood, “Flo” Lawrence, “The Biograph Girl," Mrs. Harry Solter, Mrs. Charles Woodring, Mrs. Henry Bolton. Lived: January 2, 1886 - December 27, 1938 Worked as: film actress, producer, theatre actress Worked In: United States by Kelly Brown Florence Annie Bridgwood, usually known as “Flo” Lawrence, was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on January 2, 1886. Her mother, Charlotte Bridgwood, was a stage actress known professionally as Lotta Lawrence, and was the manager and leading lady of the Lawrence Dramatic Company (Holland 386). Flo’s childhood, consequently, was spent on the touring road and on the theatrical stage. She began her career in the motion picture industry with a role in an Edison Company short, Daniel Boone/Pioneer Days in America (1907), an account of which is given in her autobiography, Growing Up with the Movies, serialized by Photoplay in four parts. Both mother and daughter appeared in Daniel Boone as well as in Vitagraph’s adaptation of Irish playwright Dion Boucicault’s 1874 theatrical melodrama as The Shaughraun, an Irish Romance (1907), but Lotta soon returned to the stage. Flo’s motion picture career, in contrast, had just begun. Lawrence found her next job at the Vitagraph Company of America, where she worked with the company cofounder J. Stuart Blackton and with the stage actor-turned-director Charles Kent (Brown 14–16). At the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company, Lawrence appeared in most of the sixty short motion pictures that D.W. Griffith directed in 1908, his second year with the company (Holland 389).

  • Jeanie Macpherson Worked As : Director, Film Actress, Screenwriter the United States
    Jeanie Macpherson May 18, 1888 - August 26, 1946 Also: Jeanie MacPherson Worked as : director, film actress, screenwriter The United States Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915, through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. [Fig. 1 Jeanie Macpherson, early screen role BYU] Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D.W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there—a one-reel western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38). [Fig. 2 Jeanie Macpherson d/w/a The Tarantula (1913) AMPAS.] There are several versions of how after Jeanie Macpherson, out of work after The Tarantula, was hired by DeMille at the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The most elaborate version is from Higham who describes Macpherson’s attempt to get an acting job as involving a series of battles between the two while the director was shooting Rose of the Rancho (1914) (38-40).
