Delaware’s oldest and largest film festival is celebrating its 17th anniversary this year. I would like to congratulate the Rehoboth Beach Film Society on this accomplishment, and I am proud that the Department of State, Delaware Division of the Arts is once again supporting this exceptional mid-Atlantic film event. This festival has become a grand celebration of film culture in Rehoboth with impressive ticket sales of over 19,000 in 2013. The great combination of American and International documentaries, full length and short films joined with educational seminars, opportunities to converse with celebrities, and family friendly entertainment is what makes this event so special. Once again this year, a particularly worthy student film director will be the recipient of the Morris and Roslyn Fierberg Student Film Award, which will be announced along with the audience favorite winning films. Additionally, this year’s Country Spotlight will feature Mexico in order to facilitate learning about the Mexican film industry, as well as, the culture and traditions of its people. An outstanding sidebar is the Regional Showcase which features emerging filmmakers from Delaware and surrounding states. Whether you are a Delaware native or a visitor with us, I know you will be entertained and enriched by this outstanding cultural event! Sincerely, Jack A. Markell Governor 8 Dear Friends & Supporters of the Festival Welcome to the seventeenth As with every successful organization we continue anniversary of the Rehoboth to face new challenges.

This Darrel Grinstead President, Board of Directors past year we initiated the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD Rehoboth Beach Film Society simulcast series which presented ten performances at the beautiful Cape Henlopen High School auditorium. This event, which will continue for the 2014-15 season, was well received and brought in audiences as high as 300 people. 9 Welcome Letter from Sue and Joe As Sue Sees It Always moving forward…. is what can be said about the Rehoboth Beach Film Society. As a developing organization, the Board and staff are continually looking ahead, working to expand programming to reach more audiences, improve operations to increase efficiency, and bring the best independent films to local communities throughout the year. Those efforts reap benefits. The Film Society has been recognized by the Standards for Excellence® Institute as having met all the requirements for the Standards for Excellence® Tier One: Essentials-Adherence to Basic Legal, Regulatory, and Governance Practices. This means the Film Society is committed to upholding basic principles and practices of strong nonprofit management and governance. This effort was led by Governance Chair Julie Davis and John Sue Early Metz, assisted by President Darrel Grinstead, and included full participation of the Board of Executive Director Directors. This group work resulted in the Film Society being the first arts organization in the Rehoboth Beach Film Society State of Delaware and the first non-profit in Sussex County to achieve this recognition. The Film Society’s application for Tiers 2 and 3 is currently being reviewed. Recognizing the challenges of the future, the organization participated in the development of a three-year Strategic Plan guided by a professional consultant and financially supported by the Delaware Division of the Arts. At the time of the printing of this program, the plan was in the final stages of preparation. Growth and change present challenges. Understandably this year’s change of producing the Festival at two locations is an adjustment for all. The Film Society greatly appreciates the support and commitment of its members, sponsors, and volunteers to continue the trend of making the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival one of the best cultural events in Sussex County and the mid-Atlantic region. Please remember the Film Society hosts screenings of wonderful independent films throughout the year at various venues (see back cover). Visit www.rehobothfilm.com for information about locations, dates, and film descriptions. Thank you for moving forward with us. Sue Early, Executive Director, Rehoboth Beach Film Society As Joe Sees It The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival strives to provide a blend of the best of American independent and international films. While staying true to providing the audience with the best in international films, this year the quality of the American independent films is phenomenal. A-list actors and directors, probable Oscar® candidates and many dark horse contenders compose this year’s programming. If the world famous Sundance Film Festival is the gold standard for film, we have struck it rich as we will be screening over a dozen films from that Festival. Some of the highlights include Little Accidents, Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, Listen Up Philip, Land Ho! and 52 Tuesdays. All of this year’s films offer a unique perspective on independent film. As usual the seminars and Country Spotlight: Mexico provides insight into the film world beyond Joe Bilancio the films themselves. Festival favorite and long-time supporter Andrew Fierberg returns to the Festival Program Director Festival with his directorial debut El Cielo des Azul.

    Maryland Film Festival Director of Development The Maryland Film Festival (MdFF) seeks a seasoned Director of Development to create and implement the fund development strategy and plans to maximize contributed revenue from individuals, corporations, foundations and government sources. The mission of the Maryland Film Festival (MdFF) is to bring films, filmmakers, and audiences together in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that reflects the unique aspects of our community, while participating in and adding to the larger film dialogue across the country and across the world. Film for Everyone. In the fall of 2018 MdFF adopted a five-year plan to fully realize its role in Baltimore and the field as a respite for filmmakers, a world-class destination for cinema, and a stalwart advocate for the democratizing the power of story, as told through film, and expressed through each individual storyteller’s voice. The SNF Parkway functions as a multi-disciplinary film, community, and education hub serving a broad cross- section of the Baltimore public and beyond. MdFF leverages the powerful assets of the Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Institute College of Art and surrounding campus communities to function as a vibrant, regional nerve center for dialogue, discussion, and debate on the key issues of the day, with film as the central axis in broad public discussions. Through programming, education and community ventures, MdFF is establishing a year-round a platform for all voices that are reflective of the diverse population of greater Baltimore and the nation. The five-year strategic plan has recently been extended through 2025 with a revised model season to account for online screenings, hybrid programming, and the return of in-person movie-watching at the SNF Parkway.

  • Universität Bielefeld Fakultät Für Linguistik Und Literaturwissenschaft
    Universität Bielefeld Fakultät für Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft Masterarbeit im Interamerican Studies zum Thema: The representation of the prostitute in Mexican cinema: a comparison between Santa (1931) and El Callejón de ​ ​ ​ Los Milagros (1995) ​ vorgelegt von Nora Sylvia Wallenius Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Wilfried Raussert ​ Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Yolanda Campos García Bielefeld, im Mai 2018 Abstract The representation of the prostitute has been one of the most prevalent female characters in the history of Mexican cinema and provides a unique vision to analyze gender roles and the position of the female in Mexico. This thesis will specifically deconstruct the myth of the prostitute through a comparison of two distinct filmic representations: the archetype of the prostitute in Santa (1931) and a more modern ​ representation in El Callejón de Los Milagros (1995), exposing to what degree the ​ ​ representation of the prostitute has changed over the course of a century. A direct analysis of key scenes in the categories of romance, family, and redemption will demonstrate similarities and transgressions. This comparison is developed under the theoretical framework of the position of “the woman” in Mexican cinema, alongside interviews with significant figures in the Mexican film industry. This investigation will shed light on the symbolism of the prostitute in a patriarchal and religious society, including gender relations, power structures, the concept of sin, Mexico’s confrontation with modernity, and female stereotypes in popular media. Keywords: Mexican film, gender studies, stereotype, archetype, the prostitute Abstracto La representación de la prostituta ha sido uno de los personajes femeninos más frecuentes en la historia del cine mexicano y proporciona una visión única para analizar los roles de género y la posición de “la mujer” en México.

  • Second Place 2010 Abell Award in Urban Policy
    Second Place 2010 Abell Award in Urban Policy MARYLAND ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS: A PROCESS EVALUATION AND CASE STUDY OF BALTIMORE Cailin McGough Paul Messino Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies Masters in Public Policy Program The Abell Award in Urban Policy is presented annually to the student who writes the most compelling paper on a pressing problem facing the City of Baltimore and feasible strategies for addressing it. This award is co-sponsored by The Abell Foundation and the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies. Acknowledgments This research grew from the prior analysis we conducted as part of the 2008 Fall Baltimore Policy Project at John Hopkins University’s Institute for Policy Studies. We gathered subsequent interviews, observation and research for this paper through May 2010. We would like to thank Dr. Sandra Newman for the impetus to investigate the revitalization taking place in Station North and for her continued support. In addition, Dr. Curtis Ventriss provided insight that guided our research and Bonnie Wittstadt of John Hopkins University’s Milton S. Eisenhower Library aided us in the creation of A&E district maps. We would also like to thank David Bielenberg of Station North Arts and Entertainment Inc., Chris Ryer and Hillary Chester of Southeast Community Development Corporation, and all of the artists, residents, business owners and other stakeholders in Baltimore’s A&E districts who contributed to this report. Pamela Dunne of the Maryland State Arts Council and Jesse Rye of the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies provided valuable background information. We want to emphasize that this analysis is not meant to evaluate the program's impact or assess district "success." Rather, our scope is limited to the design of tax credits and the extent to which they are being used, with findings based on available data and interviews focusing on Baltimore's districts.

While the term Three Amigos and the scholarship that analyzes their early works from a transnational perspective seeks to other them and distinguish them from Hollywood, I argue that the three filmmakers did not depart from a place of difference, and that they embraced Hollywood filmmaking all along, from the beginning of their careers, to the most recent Academy Award recognitions.
