Finanial aidoffe bcosXB student equity IaIr--. -~I ~- m er By William Cimino The Financial Aid Office has raised the student equity level for the 1979-1980 academic year. For the past two academic years the equity level has been held at $2500. The new level, set at $2650, is a six percent increase from last year or a three percent increase from the last two years. Jack Frailey, the Director of the Student Financial Aid Office, stated that, "the equity level represents the amount of student need which we ask the student to provide with our help, either through term-time work or through loans."' If the financial need of a student is equal to or exceeds the equity level then a National -Direct Student-Loan (NDSL) will be automatically provided to the student. The student equity level includes the projected earnings from the' period beginning with the fall term to the end of the spring term. This earnings from IAP. "We know that $2650 is too much also includes any I" i to ask a student, a freshman for example, to earn during'the academic m, (nI year, but part of that may be in the form of an NDSL loan of up-toa ; . $1 100 to $1200 which he (the student) can either accept or reject. This leaves about $1500 which the student must provide." Frailey said. ,The -- sL , - -- --- ep --- _ I - -, _e --s -ra --· II , loan funds are allocated according to need and are automatically in- cluded as part of the financial aid package.

    lunedì 05 martedì 13 mercoledì 25 giovedì 35 venerdì 45 sabato 57 Una iniziativa promossa da Regione Lazio Associazione Produttori Televisivi Camera di Commercio di Roma In collaborazione con Provincia di Roma Sviluppo Lazio ICE RAI e MEDIASET RomaFictionFest Il festival È da qualche anno che circola l’idea di organizzare anche in Italia un festival interamente dedicato alla fiction televisiva italiana e internazionale. Io stesso fui artefice, nel 2001, del progetto di creare al Lido di Venezia un evento del genere. Nacque nel marzo del 2002, e anche allora coinvolse l’APT, l’associazione dei produttori televisivi. Un discreto programma di telefilm, serie e miniserie, molta buona volontà ma scarsissimi mezzi. Durò una sola edizione. Venezia forse non era la città più adatta, la stagione era certamente sbagliata e, soprattutto, i finanziamenti risultarono risibili. Quando la Regione Lazio e l’APT decisero di dar vita su solide basi al festival della televisione a Roma - la città del cinema, ma anche, e sempre di più, della fiction televisiva, un’industria che nel Lazio dà lavoro a quasi centomila persone: da qui soprattutto l’attenzione della Regione - compresi che era stata fatta, finalmente, la scelta giusta. E a fine gennaio scorso accettai l’invito a dirigerlo. Ed ecco il RomaFictionFest, alla sua prima difficile, come tutte le prime, ma esaltante edizione con qualche centinaio di titoli - prescelti con un immenso lavoro fra le oltre tremila ore pervenuteci da tutto il mondo - inseriti in un programma intenso e variegato che consente di cogliere e mettere a confronto le tendenze, le tematiche, i linguaggi, le potenzialità e le differenti culture delle televisioni di gran parte del globo.

The festival will run from Nov 21ST to Nov 24TH at the Walter Reade Theater (Lincoln Center) and at the Wang Center of Long Island, with a curated selection of movies showcasing the best of contemporary Italian cinema: over the course of four days we offer great authors, young directors, US and New York premieres and indepth movie analysis. Over the course of the few last years, Italian cinema has become more and more eclectic, able to surprise and renew itself, both in regards of themes and language, while the productions keep making room for new authors, which is a constant stimulus for the spectators and the industry alike. This is why the effort we put into promoting Italian cinema abroad turns into true pleasure. The most awaited appointment of this edition will take place at the Walter Reade Theater (Lincoln Center), where we proudly host the maestro Marco Bellocchio and his renown actor Pierfrancesco Favino.

  • Gli Insulti Cinematografici. I Film Degli Anni Sessanta
    Quaderns d’Italià 25, 2020 27-46 Gli insulti cinematografici. I film degli anni Sessanta Marco Gargiulo Universitet i Bergen [email protected] Riassunto In questo articolo, concentrandomi sui film degli anni Sessanta, vorrei presentare la prima parte di una ricerca più ampia sugli insulti nel cinema italiano. Cominciando con La dolce vita (1960) e alcuni dei più famosi e importanti film del decennio, come Accattone, Mamma Roma e Rocco e i suoi fratelli, cercherò di mostrare come gli insulti cinematografici seguano l’evoluzione della società e della cultura italiane. In altre parole, la mia analisi evidenzia come l’interpretazione dei mutamenti occorsi nel passaggio dalla tradizione alla modernità si riflettano nella morale e nei tabù. Per fare ciò, mi concentrerò su alcuni tabù legati alla sessualità, alla famiglia e al genere e sugli insulti legati a tali tabù, e la loro rappresentazione nel nuovo cinema drammatico neorealista e nella cosiddetta “commedia all’italiana”. Parole chiave: tabù; insulti; turpiloquio; lingua del cinema; film. Abstract. Cinematic insults.
