On Wednesday, MIPCOM featured one of the most important conferences of the event, “European Digital Single Market.” The day’s activities had its highlight with the Personality of the Year Gala, this year awarded to Discovery’s president and CEO, David M. Zaslav. In terms of overall participation, the market registered 1,967 exhibitors, and, as far as new content was concerned, it is estimated that over 500 brand-new TV series were available for sale, leaving little or no money on the yearly budgets for acquisitions to be secured at the other 10 film-TV markets scheduled for October and November. A noticeable trend this year is that participants arrived earlier – some as early as Friday – but also left earlier, some as early as Wednesday, October 18, the market’s third day, which means that, in effect, the entire event is but a two-day market for them. However, the fact that they arrived earlier was indicative of pre-market business activities, so one would assume that deals did indeed get made. In addition, the registration bag, which wasn’t sponsored this year, was not nearly as practical as last year’s Japan- sponsored MIPCOM bag, which was great for carrying things around. Plus, the market didn’t have a “Country of Honor” this year, something that had become the norm in recent Held in conjunction with: An event of: Produced by: Supported by: Logistics partner: Held in: years. Finally, the market seems to be running out of space, with some distribution companies housed at the buyers’ club (e.g., FilmRise) in the Palais, and others next to the registration area by the port (e.g., IMG). 4 Live: 25 Trim: 27 Bleed: 28.0 Book Review November 2017 FOR THE LOVE OF TV MOVIES Opening Wednesday at a Theater or Drive- In Near You: Forgotten Films of the ‘70s ACADEMY AWARD® AND TONY® AWARD WINNER hen speaking about U.S. movie touched on, let alone the plots of those films. classics from the 1970s, no But there are also essays on movies like Eyes of CATHERINE ZETA-JONES conversation would be complete Laura Mars, a 1978 thriller starring Faye Dunaway STARRING IN without mentions of Prime Cut, as a fashion photographer who starts seeing COCAINE GODMOTHER Cisco Pike, Ulzana’s Raid, Two- real-time visions of her friends being murdered WLane Blacktop and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo through the eyes of their killer. “At the moment Garcia, right?

Utilizing the city’s diverse neighborhoods, unique architectural styles, and geographical topography, their films created imaginary spaces that sought to specifically represent LA, but also reflected post-war American urban restructuring processes in general. European filmmakers John Boorman, Jacques Demy, Agnès Varda, and Michelangelo Antonioni seemed to be especially perceptive regarding the specificity of the spaces they encountered in Los Angeles, and their films illustrate ambivalent feelings toward the built environment¾feelings that seem to run parallel to cultural and theoretical investigations taking place in the academy.
