Welcome to the CTVA 2017 Senior Television Showcase Welcome to the CTVA 2017 Senior Television Showcase The short films you will see here tonight were completed in the senior level Television Production course in the Department of Cinema and Television Arts and are the capstone projects. The resulting works are the end of an academic path that gives our students the opportunity to produce a Documentary or a Narrative Short, a precious instrument, a calling card for their future professional life and a proof of their academic achievements. All the films were produced and directed by students in in the Television Option, under the guidance of the television option faculty, with funding provided by the California State University, Northridge, and Associated Students Instructionally Related Activities Fund. The students must raise any additional monies needed and are given creative freedom in their productions. This is the first public presentation of their work, each and all projects are unique, deserve recognition and praise: they endured countless sleepless nights, sweat, tears, pain, dedication, and talent to be here, for this we salute and honor our students tonight.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • Sexuality, Blood, Imperialism and the Mytho-Celtic Origins of Dracula
    Droch Fhola: Sexuality, Blood, Imperialism and the Mytho-Celtic Origins of Dracula Author: Joseph A Mendes Persistent link: http://hdl.handle.net/2345/399 This work is posted on eScholarship@BC, Boston College University Libraries. Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2005 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. 1 Introduction: Dracula. Drac-ula . It is hard to ignore the menace in the name, the morbid delight one gets in pronouncing a name that is riddled with such meaning. At some level, human society is fascinated with the notion of a vampire: a revenant that ret urns from beyond the grave to extract the blood of the living in order to extend its unholy life. It plays on our basic fears as humans, the fear of the dead, the fear of dying, the fear of the unknown, and a fascination with this substance consisting of p lasma, platelets, and cells that runs through our veins. Bram Stoker took all of these fears to new heights when he wrote Dracula , one of the most enduring horror stories to ever be composed. The novel has generated enormous criticism that has chiefly been divided into the camps of Irishness, colonialism/imperialism, and sexuality. Whether it was intentional or not, Stoker’s novel is a breeding ground for almost every sexual fetish, deviance, and perversion that is known to mankind. Characters in the novel engage in mutilation, blood-drinking, perverted fellation, sexual acts in front of their spouse, female domination, male domination, group rape, homosexuality, male penetration, and sadomasochism.

And we had a meeting virtually to reaffirm our commitment to the OSCE moving forward. So, it was a commitment by parliamentarians from the OSCE states that we recognized we needed to do more. Last month we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Charter of Paris. We had a Parliamentary Assembly gathering to help celebrate the Charter. It was the fall of the iron curtain that brought that about. And one of the great opportunities that I’ve had in my lifetime was to be in Berlin and actually take home a piece of the wall, and to see the fall of the iron curtain.

  • Inspirational Reality TV: the Prosocial Effects of Lifestyle Transforming Reality Programs on Elevation and Altruism
    Inspirational Reality TV: The Prosocial Effects of Lifestyle Transforming Reality Programs on Elevation and Altruism Mina Tsay-Vogel and K. Maja Krakowiak In light of recent theories of meaningful media that suggest a host of psychological benefits, the present study uniquely extends the boundaries of the effects of reality TV from simply offering pleasure, diversion, and amusement to its viewers to also providing deep insight and meaning. In particular, a between-subjects experiment (N = 143) examined differences in affective, cognitive, and motivational responses to lifestyle transforming versus game based reality programs. Findings indicate that lifestyle transforming reality TV produced stronger feelings of elevation and percep- tions of the program as moving and thought-provoking than game reality TV, which in turn increased motivations for altruism. Avenues for future research and theore- tical implications of meaningful and inspiring reality TV for positive psychology are discussed. The proliferation and dominance of reality-based programs on television continues to generate considerable scholarly attention. The term, “reality TV,” has commonly encompassed programs that showcase real people or non-actors in unscripted scenarios (Hill, 2005; Nabi, Biely, Morgan, & Stitt, 2003) and claim to portray reality (Cavendar & Fishman, 1998). Such programs (e.g., The Bachelor, Survivor,andThe Real World) have generally been attributed under a single or collective genre. However, in recent years, the emergence of reality TV subgenres based

Dark, she seems to say, as in inscrutable, not as in terrible. We often mistake the one for the other. Or we transform the future’s unknowability into something certain, the fulfillment of all our dread, the place beyond which there is no way forward.
