Yippee! A Journey to Jewish Joy A Paul Mazursky Film USA, 2006, 74 minutes SELECTED FESTIVAL SCREENINGS Montreal World Film Festival Palm Springs International Film Festival Atlanta Jewish Film Festival Lincoln Center, New York Vancouver Jewish Film Festival UK Jewish Film Festival Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles Jerusalem Cinematheque, Jerusalem The National Center for Jewish Film Brandeis University, Lown 102, MS 053 Waltham, MA 02454-9110 Tel: (781) 899-7044 Fax: (781) 736-2070 [email protected] www.jewishfilm.org Directed by award-winning American filmmaker, actor, and scriptwriter Paul Mazursky (Next Stop Greenwich Village, An Unmarried Woman, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Enemies: A Love Story), Yippee! chronicles the director’s whirlwind journey to Uman, a small Ukrainian town that is the site of a unique, annual gathering of Jewish men making pilgrimages to the burial place of Rabbi Nachman (1772-1810). When Mazursky was told (by his optometrist) that 25,000—mostly Hassidic—Jews from around the world were expected to visit Uman for three days of praying, singing, and dancing, the director felt compelled to make the journey himself. Arriving in the Ukraine with a small film crew, Mazursky experiences an amazing series of events. He meets and interviews a wide variety of Jewish men from many countries, sharing meals, laughs, and this unique experience. The director visits the gravesite of Hassidic movement founder the Baal Shem Tov (Nachman's great-grandfather) and talks with Uman’s non-Jews about their reactions to the annual massive influx of Hassidim. The adventure culminates on the evening of Rosh Hashanah in a mass expression of spiritual ecstasy. Yippee! is an infectious road movie filled with electricity and awe and Mazursky is a splendid guide, funny, curious, and generous. ____________________________ “Brilliant documentary, beautifully told—and funny.” – Larry King “Paul Mazursky delivers an enchanting world, funny, fascinating and surprisingly touching.” – Mel Brooks “A deeply moving film-powerful-and wonderfully funny. Yippee!” – Kirk Douglas ____________________________ Mazursky (on right) with new friends in Uman YIPPEE - Credits A Tecolote Production A Paul Mazursky Film YIPPEE Producer/Director: Paul Mazursky Producer: Milton Kim Co-Producers: Jeff Kanew / Bill Megalos / Steve Cody Director of Photography: Bill Megalos Second Camera: Steve Cody Editor: Jeff Kanew Original Music: Walter Werzowa Holy Devil” Performed by Sophie Solomon PAUL MAZURSKY -- PRODUCER/DIRECTOR Writer-director-actor-producer Paul Mazursky has created a body of work over the past 30 years that has established him as one of America's most respected filmmakers. His films are often personal, intimate and humorous observations of the human condition. Mazursky was born in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn in 1930. He started his performing in school, continuing at Brooklyn College, where in his senior year, he landed the leading role of an off-Broadway production of He Who Gets Slapped. Shortly thereafter, he was cast in Stanley Kubrick's first film Fear and Desire, and two years later in The Blackboard Jungle. During this period, he appeared on TV and performed as a stand-up comic in Greenwich Village clubs. In 1959, he moved to Los Angeles, where he joined the L.A. company of Second City. Increasingly, his focus shifted to writing for other comics, including Danny Kaye. In due course, he teamed up with like-minded humorist Larry Tucker and together they wrote the screenplays for three feature films: I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLAS, BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE, and ALEX IN WONDERLAND. Mazursky made his directorial debut with BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE (1969); now considered a classic, the film opened the 1969 New York Film Festival and received an Academy Award nomination for best screenplay. Mazursky followed BOB & CAROL with ALEX in WONDERLAND, starring Donald Sutherland; BLUME IN LOVE; HARRY & TONTO, which garnered an Oscar nomination for best screenplay; and NEXT STOP, GREENWICH VILLAGE—all of which Mazursky directed and wrote (or co-wrote). 1978 saw the triumphant release of Mazursky's AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, which he directed, produced, and wrote. Star Jill Clayburgh was named best actress at the Cannes Film Festival and Mazursky was again nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay. In the early 1980s, Mazursky wrote and directed WILLIE AND PHIL; TEMPEST; and MOSCOW ON THE HUDSON, which established Robin Williams as an actor of formidable range. In 1986 Mazursky directed (and wrote) the smash hit comedy DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS, starring Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfuss, and Nick Nolte. Mazursky's other films (as director and writer) include: MOON OVER PARADOR; ENEMIES: A LOVE STORY, which garnered three Oscar nominations and earned the New York Film Critics Award for best director; SCENES FROM A MALL, starring Woody Allen and Bette Midler; and THE PICKLE, with Danny Aiello. Mazursky directed FAITHFUL, starring Chazz Palminteri, Cher and Ryan O'Neal; WINCHELL, an HBO movie with Stanly Tucci, Glenne Headly, and Paul Giamatti; and COAST TO COAST starring Richard Dreyfuss and Judy Davis. Mazursky continues acting on both the small and big screen. More recently, he has appeared in the film Miami Rhapsody and on TV—in recurring roles—on The Sopranos, Once and Again, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. .

    August, 2005 Re: The Evolution of The Pilates Method: The Fletcher Work™ To Whom It May Concern, The Fletcher Work is the authentic evolution of the Pilates’ method. To be accurate and legitimate, any journalistic inquiry into contemporary Pilates must necessarily include this dynamic contribution. On behalf of The Ron Fletcher Company, I encourage you to take time to review the enclosed materials. Pilates is more than a contemporary fitness phenomenon. It is an extraordinarily effective conditioning method — nearly a century in development — whose time has finally come. Joseph Pilates’ original principles were absolutely sound, yet his wife, Clara, referred to her husband’s original work as “just the tip of the iceberg.” The development and evolution of the Pilates method over the last 35 years has been, in large part, the result of the work and vision of Ron Fletcher, their protégé and student for nearly three decades. Since Joseph PIlates’ death in 1968, no other individual has played a more pivotal role in the evolution and popularity of the Pilates method. Now in his eighties, Mr. Fletcher is one of only three such masters still teaching the Work. Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed information, or should you wish to pursue a related project, please do not hesitate to contact me. In addition to being one of the great luminaries of the Pilates world, Ron Fletcher is also very much alive, well and active… and he’s a great interview.

    PAINTING EN ABYME: TRACING THE USES OF PAINTING IN NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA By MICHELLE LYNN RINARD Bachelor of Arts in Art History Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois 2010 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 2015 PAINTING EN ABYME: TRACING THE USES OF PAINTING IN NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA Thesis Approved: Dr. Louise Siddons Thesis Adviser Dr. Jeff Menne Dr. Rebecca Brienen ii Name: MICHELLE L. RINARD Date of Degree: MAY 2015 Title of Study: PAINTING EN ABYME: TRACING THE USES OF PAINTING IN NEW HOLLYWOOD CINEMA Major Field: ART HISTORY Abstract: In the period of the New Hollywood in cinema, four directors created films that incorporated paintings and artworks within their scenes: Mike Nichols’ The Graduate (1967); John Frankenheimer’s Seconds (1966); Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1971); and Paul Mazursky’s An Unmarried Woman (1978). In four close readings, I demonstrate that these filmmakers incorporated painting to contribute to the emotions and narrative, to reflect the institutional power or ideological positions of characters and organizations, and as cultural or anti-cultural capital. The incorporation of painting in film creates a mise en abyme, doubling the forms and meanings of art within the film medium. The use of painting in cinema in the period between 1966 and 1978 is characteristic of an artistic trend in New Hollywood filmmaking. Earlier uses of art in film were overwhelmingly narrative and diegetic, while in New Hollywood film it becomes a mode of editorializing and extra diegetic commentary.

    American Cinema of the 1970S SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES

    American Cinema of the 1970s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series is an anthology of original essays exploring the impact of cultural issues on film and the impact of film on American society. Because every chapter presents a discussion of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a systematic and progressive sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across North America. We know that our series represents just one approach to the growth of the American cinema: to organ- ize by decades establishes somewhat artificial borders and boundaries, and each author’s thematic choices are but one way to understand the culture of a particular year. Despite such limitations, this structure contextualizes the sprawling progres- sion of American cinema, especially as it relates to historical and cultural events. We hope that these books, aimed at scholars and general readers, students and teachers, will shed valuable new light on, and will provide a better understanding of, Ameri- can culture and film history during the twentieth century.
