We developed technical innovations that are now Festival Director commonplace. Cambridge was also the test bed for digital Tony Jones, Festival Director. The familiar title fails to convey his multifaceted role, not to mention the tireless commitment Tony has brought to the Festival. He has been producer, entrepreneur, programmer, fundraiser and the heart of the creative vision that has made the Cambridge Film Festival so special. When Tony and I set up the Cambridge Film Trust 13 years ago, we saw that cinema exhibition was changing fast; the opportunities to see and show a diverse range of fi lms were declining. We wanted to counter this with lasting structures within and beyond the Festival to continue to draw people together to watch great cinema. It has been an uphill struggle, but Tony’s passionate enthusiasm for fi lm, his boundless energy, ideas, contacts and unwavering determination have kept us going. It has been a privilege to work with Tony and to be involved in the Festival and its many related activities. Tony picked up the Festival in its early days and built it up into an extraordinarily rich event. He has worked with fi lmmakers, distributors and programmers from around the world. Over the years, he has given numerous talented people their fi rst start in the fi lm industry. He has championed fi lmmakers young and old, fi rst-time directors and auteurs. Through all this, his love of European and global independent cinema has been a guiding force. There is no doubt that without Tony, the Festival would not be here today. He will be enormously missed as Festival Director, but his presence will be felt at all our festivals to come; he will continue to lead on key activities of the Cambridge Film Trust. We wish him well with all his future projects and thank him for his tremendous dedication to cinema in all its forms.

  • Rose La Rose and the Re-Ownership of American Burlesque, 1935-1972
    TAUGHT IT TO THE TRADE: ROSE LA ROSE AND THE RE-OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE, 1935-1972 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Wellman Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Elizabeth Wellman 2015 ABSTRACT Declaring burlesque dead has been a habit of the twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the first burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture (1991): “[B]urlesque as she knew it ‘has been retired for a time,’ its glories now ‘merely memories of the stage.’”1 In 1931, Bernard Sobel opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of Burlesque Days, “Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real burlesque shows again. They are gone forever…”2 In 1938, The Billboard published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is ‘Burlesque is dead.’”3 In fact, burlesque had been declared dead so often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking decomposition.”4 It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which characterizes the published history of burlesque. Since its modern inception in the late nineteenth century, American burlesque has both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of degeneration.

  • From Page to Screen: Two-Thirds of Canadians Say the Best Television Shows and Movies Are Based on Books
    From Page to Screen: Two-Thirds of Canadians Say the Best Television Shows and Movies are Based on Books Ipsos and Indigo explore the reading habits of Canadians aged 18-70 and find that books make some of the best stories for film and TV, with most Canadians waiting to watch the movie to read the book first. Toronto, ON, September 22, 2020 — A new Ipsos poll, conducted on behalf of Indigo Books & Music Inc. (TSX:IDG), reveals the power of books and their influence on popular culture, with two-thirds of Canadians stating the best TV shows and movies are based on books. The vast majority (88%) of Canadians have read a book that is associated with a TV series or movie, and one in three (34%) have even postponed watching a TV series or movie so they could read the book it was based on first. Furthermore, three-quarters (73%) of those who have watched a TV series or movie based on a book prefer the book. Canadians enjoy a good story and appear to be interested in consuming the same story through multiple channels wherever possible. In fact, after watching a good TV series or movie, three-fifths (61%) of Canadians say they look forward to reading the book, a figure which rises to seven in ten (69%) among those aged 18-44 (vs. 52% aged 45-70). After reading a good book, an even higher proportion (81%; 86% aged 18-44 vs. 77% aged 45-70) look forward to watching the screen adaptation. Gen Z (97% 18-24 vs.
