SINOPSIS (por Luke Davies) El joven fotógrafo Dennis Stock trata de inmortalizar al emergente actor James Dean in- tentando hacer de este encargo para la revista LIFE algo realmente auténtico, y no otro foto-reportaje comercial. Cuando Jimmy no se está quejando del proyecto, es caótico, se deja llevar por la alegría, los juegos y las bromas. Y cuando Dennis no está enfadado, se exaspera tratando de conseguir que el esquivo Jimmy se centre, o incluso que aparezca. A partir de la energía frenética de su estancia en Nueva York, los dos se dirigen de vuelta a la granja Heartland – la granja de Indiana donde Jimmy creció - con el fin de retratar a Jimmy desde sus raíces. Dennis cree que está capturando a una estrella en el momento antes de que estalle; de hecho, él está documentando los últimos momentos de intimidad y sencillez que James Dean tendrá. En el transcurso del viaje, un profundo afecto y una amistad improbable surgirá gradualmente entre los dos jóvenes.

  • THROUGH the EYE of MAGNUM a film by Sophie Bassaler © Eve Arnold Photos © Eve / Magnum
    NOMINATED FOR TVFI EXPORT DOCUMENTARY AWARD 2020 Films à Cinq, ARTE France and Magnum Photos present CINEMA THROUGH THE EYE OF MAGNUM A film by Sophie Bassaler © Eve Arnold Photos © Eve / Magnum CAPA FILMS à CINQ Rediscover cinema through a new lens: look at some of the most recognizable images from the greastest photographers of all time, including: ROBERT CAPA - EVE ARNOLD - DENNIS STOCK - HENRI CARTIN-BRESSON The most iconic stars as never seen them before, such as: MARYLIN MONROE - JAMES DEAN - INGRID BERGMAN - KATE WINSLET - SEAN PENN CINEMA THROUGH THE EYE OF MAGNUM A documentary written and directed by Sophie Bassaler Films à Cinq, Arte France, Magnum Photos Co-production 2017 - 1 x 52’ Genre Arts & Culture Available languages French / English / Spanish / Italian / © Elliott Erwitt I Magnum Photos_NYC37638 Portuguese / German SYNOPSIS For seventy years, the photojournalists of Magnum have observed the world of cinema as they would any conflict, social issue or country on the map. It was out of love for the actress Ingrid Bergman that Robert Capa took Magnum’s very first photo of cinema, on the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious, inaugurating the relationship between the agency and the world of films. Using original, unseen stories and interviews, Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum depicts this relationship over 70 years. It is a confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds: fiction and reality, and a unique look behind the scenes of cinema in the making. From the Golden Age of Hollywood to its eventual decline, Europe’s Nouvelle Vague to the birth of the blockbuster, the story of Magnum is the story of cinema itself.

  • Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson's Space Operas The
    religions Article Love Thy Extra-Terrestrial Neighbour: Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson’s Space Operas The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) Sylvie Magerstädt School of Humanities, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts AL10 9EU, UK; [email protected] Received: 13 August 2018; Accepted: 20 September 2018; Published: 27 September 2018 Abstract: The role of romantic love in cinema–and its redeeming aspects–has been extensively explored in film studies and beyond. However, non-romantic aspects of love, especially love for the neighbour, have not yet received as much attention. This is particularly true when looking at mainstream science fiction cinema. This is surprising as the interstellar outlook of many of these films and consequently the interaction with a whole range of new ‘neighbours’ raises an entirely new set of challenges. In this article, the author explores these issues with regard to Luc Besson’s science fiction spectacles The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). Both films have divided fans and critics and it is indeed easy to dismiss them as mere spectacle with little depth or message, as many reviewers have done. Yet, as this article demonstrates, beneath their shiny, colourful surface, both films make a distinct contribution to the theme of neighbourly love. What is more, Besson’s films often seem to develop a close link between more common notions of romantic love and agapic forms of love and thus offer a perspective of exploring our relationship to the alien as our neighbour.

Monte and his daughter Willow live together aboard a spacecraft, in complete isolation. A man whose strict self-discipline is a shield against desire, Monte fathered her against his will. His sperm was used to inseminate the young woman who gave birth to her. They were members of a crew of prisoners – death row inmates. Guinea pigs sent on a mission. Now only Monte and Willow remain. Through his daughter, he experiences the birth of an all-powerful love. Together, father and daughter approach their destination – the black hole in which time and space cease to exist. How did High Life come about? A while back, an English producer asked me if I wanted to participate in a collection of films called Femmes Fatales. At first, I wasn’t that interested, but after thinking it over, I agreed. The project took ages to get off the ground. There was no money. It took 6 or 7 years to hammer out a coproduction: France, Germany, Poland and eventually America. During that time, I went to England and the States to meet with actors. The actor I dreamed of for the lead role of Monte was Philip Seymour Hoffman, because of his age, his weariness – but he died mid- route.

Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.
