Park, Champaign, IL Nate Kohn: Festival Director 2017 Roger Ebert’s Film Festival The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign The College of Media at Illinois Presents... Roger Ebert’s Film Festival 2017 April 19–23, 2017 Chaz Ebert, Co-Founder, Producer, and Host Nate Kohn, Festival Director Casey Ludwig, Assistant Director More information about the festival can be found at www.ebertfest.com Mission Founded by the late Roger Ebert, University of Illinois Journalism graduate and a Pulitzer Prize- winning film critic, Roger Ebert’s Film Festival takes place in Urbana-Champaign each April for a week, hosted by Chaz Ebert. The festival presents 12 films representing a cross-section of important cinematic works overlooked by audiences, critics and distributors. The films are screened in the 1,500-seat Virginia Theatre, a restored movie palace built in the 1920s. A portion of the festival’s income goes toward on-going renovations at the theatre. The festival brings together the films’ producers, writers, actors and directors to help showcase their work. A film- maker or scholar introduces each film, and each screening is followed by a substantive on-stage Q&A discussion among filmmakers, critics and the audience. In addition to the screenings, the festival hosts a number of academic panel discussions featuring filmmaker guests, scholars and students. The mission of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival is to praise films, genres and formats that have been overlooked.

As many of you know, this will be my last as CEO of Screen Australia as my term ends in November. Now then, is an opportunity to reflect and to look forward. I will take you through some of the things I’ve learned in my time with the agency and some thoughts for the future. There is much to be proud of in Australian screen production over the last five years. We’ve seen the successful introduction of the Producer Offset and concurrent increase in overall film and TV production, up 58% to just under $3 billion according to ABS data released last month. We’ve seen an increase in employment in the sector of 23% to 13,414 people. 1 Ruth Harley 37° South address, Melbourne International Film Festival 2013 We’ve seen an increase of local box office of 64% compared to the previous five year average.

To make a very good film is a miracle.” -Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu REQUIRED TEXTS: Lumet, Sidney. Making Movies. New York: Vintage Books, 1996. Rabiger, Michael and Hurbis-Cherrier, Mick. Directing: Film Techniques and Aesthetics, 6th edition. London: Routledge Press, 2020. Weston, Judith. Directing Actors: Creating Memorable Performances for Film & Television. Studio City: Michael Wiese Books, 1999 COURSE AIM: This course aspires to answer seemingly simple questions: What does a director do? What is the director’s relationship and responsibility to the film? How should a director talk to actors and achieve the desired performance from said actors? How should they communicate their vision to cinematographers? In addition, the course screens and examines films from directors, who have been considered influential and/or pathbreaking in the medium and seeks to unpack, understand, and analyze the reasons for their significance. Directors are often likened to conductors. The best of them are able to deliver a clear, consistent vision, while enlisting cast and crew members to contribute their own unique talents and perspectives to serving that vision. We will cover every element of the directing process from script analysis to the editing room as we try to uncover the secrets to that elusive brand of direction that leads to the telling of coherent, entertaining, surprising, and inevitable stories.

  • 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
    Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

  • Hell Is a Game Show: an Artistic Interpretation Of
    HELL IS A GAME SHOW: AN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE AFTERLIFE ______________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _____________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film _____________________________ by Zachary Stoner May 2018 Stoner 1 “Hell is other people,” shouts Joseph Garcin in Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1944 play Huis Clos (No Exit). It was this sentiment that summarizes the entire play: man can never escape the judgment of others and in turn is always in the hell of his own self-judgment. It is this quote, in its various forms and parodies, that would come back to haunt me in ironic ways. But it was also this play that took me down the path that would eventually lead me to the creation of my film: Hell is a Game Show. This project starts before Sartre, with my junior year film Near Sighted: The Usually Alone Interview - specifically with a supporting actress by the name of Evie Weir. Her acting was smart and funny, a natural with the kind of dark comedy that I had become so fond of writing. There’s an old Hollywood expression that goes “directing is ninety percent casting,” and I planned to take that a step further and write my thesis film around a talented actress that had a great knowledge of the craft. I had just finished watching two dark comedies: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and Seven Psychopaths (2012). Both feature comedy that relies heavily on horrible murder or torture.

  • Judy Turns the Objectifying Male Gaze Back on Itself
    JUDY O’BRIEN [Maureen O’Hara] (dancing onstage, dress straps rip-male audience members taunt) Go ahead and stare. I'm not ashamed. Go on, laugh; get your money's worth. Nobody's going to hurt you. I know you want me to tear my clothes off so you can look your 50 cents' worth. Fifty cents for the privilege of staring at a girl the way your wives won't let you. What do you suppose we think of you up here? (camera pans l to r well-heeled and ashamed male in tuxedos and reproving female audience members) With your silly smirks your mothers would be ashamed of. It's a thing of the moment for the dress suits to come and laugh at us too. We'd laugh right back at you, only we're paid to let you sit there...and roll your eyes, and make your screamingly clever remarks. What's it for? So you can go home when the show's over, strut before your wives and sweethearts... and play at being the stronger sex for a minute? I'm sure they see through you just like we do. From Dance, Girl, Dance (Dorothy Arzner,1940) Tess Slesinger & Frank Davis (screenplay) Vicki Baum (story) Judy turns the objectifying male gaze back on itself. First 4 have a Hollywood/family connection: Dorothy Arzner’s family owned a Hollywood restaurant frequented by actors and directors Ida Lupino came from a family of British actors Penny Marshall’s Mom was a tap dance teacher, her Dad a director of industrial films and older brother Gary, a TV series creator and successful film director.
