French Cinema leads the way at the Oscars - French Embassy in South A... http://www.ambafrance-rsa.org/French-Cinema-leads-the-way-at-the French Cinema leads the way at the Oscars 27 February 2012 The 84th annual Academy Awards took place on Sunday the 26th of February at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. It was a very successful night for French Cinema, represented by feature film “The Artist” which stole the show with 5 awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Actor in a leading role. “The Artist” is a French produced film, the producer is Thomas Langmann, (the son of famous French film producer and director Claude Berri), who received the Oscar for Best Picture. The Artist was the first non anglo-saxon film to receive the Best Picture. The Artist leading Actor Jean Dujardin became the first Frenchman to win a Best Actor Oscar for acting for his role in the silent film billed as a “love letter to American film”. In his acceptance speech for the Best Director Oscar Director Michel Hazanavicius said “I am the happiest director in the world right now”. One of the strengths of the film is that its own tale of an industry in revolution (from silent movies to “talkies”) resonates with Hollywood today which is currently transitioning into the digital and 3D era. French Cinema, with its long history and fine tradition is still thriving and even active in South Africa through a number of initiatives. In fact, last year the Franco-South African co-production Skoonheid was selected to appear at the Cannes Film Festival following South African Director Olivier Hermanus’ attendance at Cinefondation in Paris from October 2009 to February 2010, where he wrote the screenplay. The Artist will be released in South Africa on the 5th of April 2012. 1 sur 1 28/02/2012 17:40.

WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts FROM MISREPRESENTATION TO MISAPPREHENSION: DISCURSIVE RESISTANCE AND THE POLITICS OF DISPLACEMENT IN NATIVE AMERICA A Thesis in Comparative Literature by Quentin E. Youngberg © 2006 Quentin E. Youngberg Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2006 The thesis of Quentin E. Youngberg was reviewed and approved* by the following: Djelal Kadir Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Comparative Literature Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Sophia A. McClennen Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, Spanish, and Women’s Studies Aldon L. Nielsen Kelly Professor of American Literature Matthew B.

Eckhardt Professor of English and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of Comparative Literature * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT The very real social and political problems on reservations (like poverty, alcoholism, and suicide) will never be solved so long as these issues are elided by essentialist discussions of culture. Romanticized conceptions of Native cultures elide the facts of racism, bureaucratic inefficiency, and purposefully systematized erosions of Native sovereignty. In the process of these elisions, blame for social problems is laid on the culturally “atavistic” and “inept” (savage) victims for problems that stem, in reality, from an ongoing colonial relationship. By taking on various popular myths about Native cultures (the myth of the Vanishing Indian, the idea of the Nature-Indian, or the myth of the White-Indian), and by setting Native voices in opposition to those myths, this dissertation attempts to de- mystify the politics that lie behind public discourses on and by Native peoples.

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Reminder List of Eligible Releases for Distinguished Achievements during 2006 http://www.oscars.org/79academyawards/reminder/ Reminder List of Productions Eligible for Awards All films that have qualified for consideration for 2006 Academy Awards in the non-specialized categories are listed alphabetically by title. Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category. Foreign Language films are eligible for awards in other categories provided they meet the requirements of Awards Rules Two and Three.

La Leyenda De MOVIELAND; Historia Del Cine En El Estado De Durango
La Leyenda de MOVIELAND; Historia del Cine en el Estado de Durango (1897 - 2004) Antonio Avitia Hernández México, 2005 Introducción De manera casi tan fortuita y tan veleidosa como los criterios y las posibilidades económicas de las compañías cinematográficas, de los productores y de los directores de cine, algunos paisajes naturales del estado de Durango han sido seleccionados como escenario del rodaje de diversas películas. Hasta donde se ha podido investigar, entre los años de 1897 a 2004, se han filmado un total de doscientos setenta y ocho (278) cintas en la entidad. De éstas, treinta (30) son de la época del cine silente, producidas entre 1897 y 1936. Noventa y ocho (98) son de formato de ocho, super ocho y dieciséis milímetros, independientes, así como filmes documentales científicos, antropológicos y culturales, entre otros. Con respecto al cine industrial, ciento cincuenta (150) han sido los filmes rodados en territorio durangueño entre los años de 1954 a 2004. Los objetivos principales de esta historia del cine en Durango son: hacer el recuento cuantitativo y cronológico, la ubicación histórica, la reseña de las sinopsis argumentales, las fichas filmográficas y la relación de los personajes y locaciones sobresalientes de las películas rodadas en la entidad, así como describir la impresión que, en el imaginario colectivo regional, ha tenido el cinematógrafo, en tanto séptimo arte e industria cinematográfica. De manera colateral, hasta donde ha sido posible, se hace referencia a la suerte de los filmes en lo que respecta a su distribución. En el primer capítulo El cine silente en Durango se hace el recuento, sinopsis argumental, situación histórica y establecimiento de los treinta filmes del periodo silente rodados en la entidad, desde el arribo de los enviados de Edison en 1897 hasta la cinta documental de propaganda política laudatoria, grabada por encargo del gobernador del estado coronel Enrique R.
