"Life's most persistent and urgent question is; what are you doing for others?" -MLK OUR VISION For over a decade, MDC has helped establish rewarding relationships between thousands of individuals, businesses and charities who care deeply about the well-being of others and the community. Through our work (video production, event planning & consulting) we want to share stories that matter, organize events that build bridges, highlight extraordinary individuals, create simple and effective ways of giving back, and act as professional matchmakers. Our mission has always been to connect the people who want to help with the people who need help the most. From the start, we've witnessed heartbreaking scenarios where trauma and hardship causes a child or family to feel isolated and hopeless. Despite what we're taught, time is more precious than gold and we strive to make every day, hour and minute count. The world does not stop when tragedy strikes; but good people can and do. We enlist the help of caregivers across every business sector around the globe and rely on them to help us create special moments in time that bring hope and joy to those suffering through hardship. We've created an Active Response Team; an unofficial team of do-gooders who are willing to step up to the plate when needed. And just like the word "team" signifies, together everyone achieves more. MDC works by cause, not by client -- and in doing so, it allows us to foster collaboration and look after the interests of all involved. The impact we make by working together is more powerful and far-reaching than most individuals can achieve on their own.

    See It Big! Action Features More Than 30 Action Movie Favorites on the Big

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

Everyone describes their Sherlock Holmes. Players can each play a version of (No sunlight for you!) Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr., Basil Rathbone, 4. You are a bat enthusiast. Peter Cushing, etc.), or they can create their own wry, observant detective. 5. You have a neck fetish. Everyone rolls in secret to determine their Suspicious Quirk. 6.

    !1 of !6 Giles Foreman Centre" for Acting A LEADING PROFESSIONAL ACTING STUDIO, "BASED IN THE HEART OF SOHO " " " ACTOR TRAINING | FILM & TV PRODUCTION | CORPORATE" COMMUNICATION LONDON | NEW" YORK | PARIS "" What" makes the GFCA 16-month advanced Professional Intensive " Acting/Acting-Directing Programme unique? Our Advanced course is equivalent in level to Post Graduate study. However, the training is designed for those creative individuals - from any background - who have the capacity, ability and motivation to enter the Industry. The programme involves 30+ hours of intensive classes and rehearsal exercises per week, taught by top- level specialist coaches, each with extensive professional experience. There are in-house showings throughout the course, and plays are presented to the public and Industry during the final two terms. During the final term, as well as advanced-level classes, students may join the Spotlight Casting Graduate scheme; scenes are filmed for showreel, there are Industry events, and a range of further performance opportunities. These continue after the conclusion of the formal training. We take only a single cohort of Intensive-Route acting students each year, to provide a focussed training designed to bring out individual strengths, and we welcome applications from people from a wide variety of previous backgrounds and experience. The programme is tailored towards the unique mix of talent drawn to our centrally-located Studio from across the UK, Europe and beyond. We have excellent links with UK and European Casting Directors, as well as a base in New York, and ofer many opportunities to showcase talent to European casting directors, largely due to the strong connections formed by our Director, Giles Foreman and his extensive work as a film acting-coach.

    Uk Audiences Eager to Return to the Big Screen, Survey Confirms

    UK AUDIENCES EAGER TO RETURN TO THE BIG SCREEN, SURVEY CONFIRMS London – 8 April 2021: Survey results released today confirm that the UK public is more eager than ever to return to cinemas when they start to reopen next month, with 59% citing the cinema as their most missed out-of-home entertainment activity. A nationwide survey, carried out by research agency MetrixLab and commissioned by the Film Distributors' Association, reveals a steep rise in urgency to return to cinemas as soon as possible, with 40% of audiences planning to return within the first few weeks after reopening and a further 36% within the first couple of months. The research also confirmed that lockdown over the last year has reignited audiences’ passion for seeing films on the big screen, with those who have digitally rented or purchased films highlighted as the most likely to return to the cinema as soon as they reopen. These encouraging findings confirm that cinema is something that can’t be recreated at home, with two- thirds of respondents favouring the spectacular big screen experience, immersive sound, special effects, and access to a wide range of new films that only cinema can offer. That big screen must-see appeal has remained stable throughout the pandemic, when many film fans’ movie-watching has been limited to home entertainment. UK cinemas were highly commended for their nationwide response to the pandemic last year, by putting wide-reaching safety measures in place to protect the health and safety of staff and audiences. 93% of cinemagoers who returned last year enjoyed an overwhelmingly positive experience, and 99% were satisfied with the health and safety measures at their local cinema.

  • INTRODUCTION Fatal Attraction and Scarface

    INTRODUCTION Fatal Attraction and Scarface

    1 introduction Fatal Attraction and Scarface How We Think about Movies People respond to movies in different ways, and there are many reasons for this. We have all stood in the lobby of a theater and heard conflicting opin- ions from people who have just seen the same film. Some loved it, some were annoyed by it, some found it just OK. Perhaps we’ve thought, “Well, what do they know? Maybe they just didn’t get it.” So we go to the reviewers whose business it is to “get it.” But often they do not agree. One reviewer will love it, the next will tell us to save our money. What thrills one person may bore or even offend another. Disagreements and controversies, however, can reveal a great deal about the assumptions underlying these varying responses. If we explore these assumptions, we can ask questions about how sound they are. Questioning our assumptions and those of others is a good way to start think- ing about movies. We will soon see that there are many productive ways of thinking about movies and many approaches that we can use to analyze them. In Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1992), the actor playing Bruce Lee sits in an American movie theater (figure 1.1) and watches a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) in which Audrey Hepburn’s glamorous character awakens her upstairs neighbor, Mr Yunioshi. Half awake, he jumps up, bangs his head on a low-hanging, “Oriental”-style lamp, and stumbles around his apart- ment crashing into things.
