  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.

  • Alan Rudolph
    Alan Rudolph Quirky, off kilter, stylishly romantic and filled with moments of wry humor, Alan Rudolph makes movies with dreamy eyed protagonists searching for love in all the wrong places. He often mashes up genres into something new and unique and peppers his films with elements not always beholden to realism. He began his four decade career under the watchful eye of mentor Robert Altman, but he soon created a body of work that is clearly his own vision. SYMPOSIUM . JUNE 4 & 5, 2018 SCREENINGS .

  • Keith Carradine Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Keith Carradine Regis Dialogue with Phil Anderson, 1991 Phil Anderson: Well anyway, thanks for coming yourself. I want to start, I have a small question and I have a big question. Small question is simple. How did you get involved with the Material Girl video directed by Mary Lambert? Keith Carradine: They called me up. Phil Anderson: Why do you think they asked you? What do you think they needed from you? Keith Carradine: I don't know. I was requested by her ladyship and Mary Lambert, the director. Apparently I was their first choice to play the part, this Howard Hughes-esque character who was supposed to be this mysterious wealthy owner of the studio for which she is one of their stars. There was something about what I had done, I guess, that they saw, that they thought was right for this. So they called me up and I said, "Yeah. Sure, what the heck?" Phil Anderson: Well I asked that because who wouldn't? Keith Carradine: Well, actually, there are a few people that might not. Phil Anderson: It seems that throughout your career, people seem to think you stand for something. At certain points in your career, you stand for different things. But in this and in many other things, you seem to stand for a kind of purity or a sense of morality, whereas in other times you're quite evil, quite sneaky. You're not on trial here, but I have some character references I found. There is a current article in American Film about you, based on The Ballad of the Sad Café where the author Will Schneider says, "Carradine relishes a full day on a ski slope, sews is a top-notched kid-sized Spider- Man costume, saddles a horse deftly and rides easily, and hasn't raised his voice at his agent once in their seven-year relationship." Another reference I found that people in your family apparent describe you as the white sheep of the Carradine family.

AWAY FROM HER is a beautifully moving love story that deals with memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease.

    ‘BOUND BY A SECRET’ CAST BIOS LESLEY ANN WARREN (Jane) – Lesley Ann Warren is the quintessential actress, consistently giving audiences reason to agree with Pauline Kael of New Yorker Magazine, who hailed her as “one of the greatest beauties of the screen and an actress who delivers spectacular performances.” Warren finished shooting a lead role in the USA pilot, “In Plain Sight” for producers David Maples and Paul Stupin. Warren most recently appeared in a fantastic recurring role on the hit series “Desperate Housewives.” For her exceptional performance, she has received national publicity.

She was most recently seen in the Indie hit film “Secretary,” co-starring Maggie Gylenhaal and James Spader. She also recently starred in Robert Altman’s production of Alan Rudolph’s comedic mystery “Trixie,” with Nick Nolte and Emily Watson, as well as Steven Soderbergh’s “The Limey” with Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda.

  • Cast Bios Marion Ross
    CAST BIOS MARION ROSS (Leslie Clyde Onstott) – Marion Ross was born in a small Minnesota community called Watertown. At the age of 13, she changed the spelling of her name from "Marian" to "Marion" because she thought it would look better on a marquee. After her sophomore year in high school, she moved to Minneapolis and took a job as an au pair so she could take drama lessons at the MacPhail Center for the Arts. A year later, her family moved to San Diego, California, and Marion enrolled in San Diego State College. As a freshman, Ross was named the school's most outstanding actress. After graduating, she performed in summer theater in La Jolla. The director was quite impressed by her talent and urged her to give Hollywood a shot. With the assistance of an old college professor, Ross worked her way into a contract for Paramount. Ross has a number of feature film credits including "Forever Female," "The Glenn Miller Story," "Sabrina," and "Operation Petticoat" (1959). Her television credits include starring roles on the series "Life with Father," “Happy Days” and “Brooklyn Bridge”; recurring roles on “The Gilmore Girls,” “The Drew Carey Show” and “That ‘70’s Show”; and countless guest starring stints. Ross lives in Los Angeles with actor Paul Michael, her longtime beau, on “Happy Days” farm – the home she built with her salary from the series. She has two grown children, also in show business: actor Jim Meskimen (“How the Grinch Stole Christmas”) and writer/producer Ellen Plummer (“Friends”). She is also the official spokeswoman for the town of Marion, Illinois.

I would also like to thank my parents Susan and Gerard for their encouragement and unwavering interest throughout my degree. 4 Chapter 1: The early years and the Hollywood Studio System Filmmaker Ron Mann’s recent documentary Altman (2014), features interviews with various notable filmmakers and actors who worked with Robert Altman over the years. Mann said that people who come to see his documentary “just to see Bob’s films” then he has done his job. Mann also more poignantly said that “Altman was America’s greatest filmmaker and that his work matters more than ever now because it stands in contrast to all the sequels that Hollywood makes to sell lunch boxes”. (Gilbey, 2015)1 This quote encapsulates what Robert Altman stood for as a film director in that it illustrates his innovative approaches to filmmaking, his maverick tendencies and individuality.
