International Casting Directors Network Index
International Casting Directors Network Index 01 Welcome 02 About the ICDN 04 Index of Profiles 06 Profiles of Casting Directors 76 About European Film Promotion 78 Imprint 79 ICDN Membership Application form Gut instinct and hours of research “A great film can feel a lot like a fantastic dinner party. Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

Um bei ihrer Familie und ihren Freundinnen Anerkennung zu gewinnen, entschliesst sie sich, mit einer Gruppe von Asylbewerbern die Geschichte von Wilhelm Tell aufzuführen. Ein Unterfangen, auf welches sie in vieler Hinsicht nicht vorbereitet ist. Die Asylbewohner haben ihre eigenen Probleme und nicht auf Sabine gewartet. Als die Tell-Aufführung plötzlich ins mediale Scheinwerferlicht gerät, geht Sabine an ihre Grenzen und darüber hinaus, um das Theaterstück zum Erfolg zu führen. Erst danach merkt sie: Was wirklich zählt, ist etwas ganz anderes. 2 Besetzung Sabine Esther Gemsch Punishment Komi Mizrajim Togbonou „Elvis“ Karim Rahoma Akin Elvis Clausen Remzi Newroz Baz Helmut Klaus Wildbolz Shirin Aylin Maurer Bahar Uygar Tamer Murat Ersoy Yildirim Abebe Fahran Abdi Eden Carine Kapinga Wangchen Tsering Bokong Mani Leo Pinkus Manis Mutter Alejandra Cardona Hans-Jakob (Heimleiter) Kamil Krejci Natalie (Heim Mitarbeiterin) Eliane Iten Timon (Heim Mitarbeiter) Dominique Jann Anja Alexandra Prusa Gabi Esther von Arx Wolfgang (Exmann von Sabine) René Ander-Huber Luisa (Tochter von Sabine) Joelle Witschi Reto (Polizist) Peter Zgraggen 3 Stab Drehbuch und Regie Peter Luisi Koautor Jürgen Ladenburger Mithilfe Drehbuch Khaled Jamal Eddin Ingo Heeb Produktionsleiter Aminta Iseppi 1.

Some 2,000 research fellows, grad uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Kurosawa's Ran: Reception and Interpretation ANN THOMPSON AKIRA KUROSAWA'S Ran (literally, war, riot, or chaos) was chosen as the first film to be shown at the First Tokyo International Film Festival in June 1985, and it opened commercially in Japan to record-breaking busi ness the next day. The director did not attend the festivities associated with the premiere, however, and the reception given to the film by Japa nese critics and reporters, though positive, was described by a French critic who had been deeply involved in the project as having "something of the air of an official embalming" (Raison 1985, 9).

The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.
