Anthology Series ROOM 104 Returns For Fourth And Final Season July 24 ROOM 104 returns for its fourth and final season FRIDAY, JULY 24 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT, exclusively on HBO. Created by Mark and Jay Duplass (HBO’s “ANIMALS.” and “TOGETHERNESS”), the late-night, half-hour anthology series returns with 12 new episodes, each telling a unique and unexpected tale of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel. While the setting stays the same, every episode of the series features a different story, with the tone, plot, characters, and even the time period, changing with each installment. Exploring a variety of genres, from dark comedy to sci-fi, to the series’ first ever animated episode and original songs, this season will continue to surprise viewers week to week. The premiere episode will be the first time in the series that Mark Duplass stars, writes, directs and performs original music. Stories and characters featured in season four include: an estranged performer giving a one-night-only performance; a woman battling her dark past with addiction; a dollhouse; transporting back in time; and more. Providing one last glimpse into the lives of the guests in Room 104, the final season of the genre bending, and risk-taking anthology proves to be another showcase of writing, performing and directing.

Bill's Guide to Week Two of the 47Th Annual Chicago International Film
Bill’s Guide to Week Two of the 47th Annual Chicago International Film Festival By Bill Stamets Special for Films for Two® My recommended films in Week Two (in “must see” order): 1.) Pina: German director Wim Wenders previously profiled Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and Cuban musicians. His latest documentary introduces cinefiles to the choreography of German avant-gardist Pina Bausch. In his first use of 3-D cinematography, Wenders evokes the volume of the stage, even for performances staged in non-theatrical settings, including a tramway and an escalator. Four different works are presented. Some are revisited via archival 2-D footage. Seeing various versions adds more figurative depth to our appreciation of Bausch's work than the 3-D adds literal depth to our onscreen perception. Bausch's death during the making of the film may have lent an elegiac note to the laudatory interviews with members of her international company Tanztheater Wuppertal. They do not speak on camera during looking-into-the lens portrait sessions. The soundtrack excerpts their comments, apparently recorded off- camera, to underscore their role as voiceless dancers. Wenders channels Bausch's tactile and theoretical grasp of the body as metaphysical material for art. 2.) The Descendants: Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmidt, Election, Citizen Ruth) directs George Clooney as Matt King, an Hawaiian lawyer dealing with his wife hospitalized in a coma and their 10-year-old and 17- year-old daughters. Payne and his co-writers start from Kaui Hart Hemmings' 2008 novel for a truly touching male melodrama, as Clooney's character reconciles his mixed emotions about his wife.

'Bad' Sound: What Puts the 'Mumble' Into Mumblecore?
Theorising ‘bad’ sound: what puts the ‘mumble’ into mumblecore? This is a pre-copyedited version of an article accepted for publication in The Velvet Light Trap following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version is available through the University of Texas Press. Few film genres, styles or movements are named with respect to their sound quality; ‘mumblecore’ – a cycle of independent, very low-budget American movies that emerged in the middle of the last decade – is a rare exception. The label is somewhat pejorative – the ‘origin myth’ is that it was jokingly coined by a sound mixer, but has since stuck.1 Aymar Jean Christian observes that mumblecore directors are uncomfortable with the term and tend not to self-identify as mumblecore, making the term analogous to the subcultural term ‘hipster.’2 However, despite being named with reference to its sound, there has been little analysis of its soundtracks, either academically or in the popular press, beyond dismissing the sound as ‘bad,’ with no further comment. This particular notion of ‘bad’ sound bears closer examination; however, close attention to mumblecore’s audiovisual style needs to be contextualised within the broader category of American independent cinema, of which it is a part. Hence, the label is attached to more than just a style – as has been widely argued, American independent or ‘indie’ cinema is partly an economic category, partly a style and partly a discourse.3 As an economic category, given their very low budgets and self-financed status, mumblecore films can be categorised as ‘house indie,’ as delineated by a critic cited by Michael Z.

Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies a Thesis Presented to the Facult
In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Nicholas D. Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell
! 6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell ! Starring Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield 80 minutes, color, U.S.A. Sales Contact: ICM/ Jessica Lacy [email protected] / (310) 550-4316 SUBMARINE/ Josh Braun [email protected] / (212) 625-1410 Press Contact: BRIGADE / Gerilyn Shur [email protected] / 917-551-5838 SYNOPSIS A young couple in their early 20s, Dan and Melanie, have known each other since childhood. Now their 6-year romantic relationship is put to the test when Dan receives an attractive job offer from the record label with whom he interns, and he must choose between a move forward and a future with Mel. Growth and temptation happen – but will their relationship remain part of their future? Writer/director Hannah Fidell explores the struggles of young love as it begins to face the next steps into adulthood. Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield give warm, genuine performances as Mel and Dan, alongside Lindsay Burdge (star of Fidell’s A TEACHER) as a colleague of Dan’s who entices him in more ways than one. HANNAH FIDELL DISCUSSES 6 YEARS I wrote 6 Years focusing on the relationship of two young adults. Who hasn’t had a first love? And who hasn’t gone through a breakup with said first love? (for those of you who are married to that first person...please ignore…) More than anything though, I modeled Dan and Mel’s world on my group of friends in college. Although, the fighting and the physical violence, that was pure fiction. The script was in great hands with Taissa and Ben.

TOGETHERNESS Written by Jay Duplass Mark Duplass
TOGETHERNESS Written by Jay Duplass Mark Duplass Story by Jay Duplass Mark Duplass Steve Zissis INT. ALEX’S APARTMENT, BEDROOM - MORNING Slivers of light creak through crummy venetian blinds as ALEX PAPPAS (37), a balding chubbying Greek-American snores heavily. Above his bed are posters of Tom Hanks in Castaway and Robert De Niro in Raging Bull. The faint sound of drilling accompanies his snoring, as well as unintelligible voices whispering, all of which seem to be coming from inside the apartment. Alex’s eyes slowly open. Did he hear something? Probably not. His sleepy eyes roll back into his head, and Alex slips back into never-never-land. This dude knows how to sleep. The sound of a LAMP BREAKING. Alex’s eyes pop wide open this time. It’s real. Someone is inside his apartment. He bolts upright, listening intently, and sees that his bedroom door is unlocked. Alex darts over and presses the lock button down, but it keeps popping back out, refusing to lock. He hears shuffling of feet on the other side. Alex scans his bedroom, sees a crumpled pair of jeans, checks the pockets and finds nothing. ALEX (under his breath) Where’s my fucking phone! Alex tip-toes to the window, slides back the crummy blinds and sees a three story drop into a concrete alley. Alex opens his closet, unsheathes a putter from a golf bag, and hears and sees his bedroom door knob start to turn. Alex jumps into the closet and closes the doors. The bedroom door creaks open, and a man says something loudly to his partner in a foreign language.

ZANE RUTLEDGE Sound Mix..........................................BYRON WESTBROOK Sound Mix…………………………..GENE PARK 2 DIRECTORS STATEMENT In 1980, the New Orleans Saints were well on their way to another losing season. Some of the fans were losing hope and gaining shame. They stopped going to the games for fear of being seen as a blindly optimistic fool and ridiculed at work the next day. Some fans, however, would not abandon their beloved home team. Sure, they were embarrassed and ashamed, but they were loyal. They stayed. They believed. But, they needed something to hide their faces. Something cheap, something readily available. Something brown and crinkly, where the eyes and mouth could easily be punched out. Now, this story doesn’t really have anything to do with our movie, but it kinda does. When one looks out over a sea of people in a major NFL stadium wearing bags on their heads, it’s a bit hard to process.
