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. -
Don't Act Your Age - Harry, Tonto, Paul, and You
July 4, 2014 Don't Act Your Age - Harry, Tonto, Paul, and You Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Senior Associate Dean, Lester Crown Professor of Management Practice, Yale School of Management At age 44, the maverick satirical filmmaker Paul Mazursky wrote and directed Harry & Tonto, chronicled an old man's unexpected late life struggle against society's selfish coercive pressures to relocate, institutionalize, and infantilize him back into a state of docile dependency. This week, 40 years later, Mazursky, at age 84, himself, became the ultimate victim of aging but not the victim of ageism. He beat ageism by not allowing others define him as "past his prime," "last year's model," "over-the-hill," and any of the other euphemisms aspiring middle-aged combats use to push aside those who appear to block their own career paths. Robert McFadden wrote in his New York Times obituary: Mr. Mazursky was a show-business rarity, almost never out of work in a run of six decades that began as a stage and screen actor in the early 1950s and was still adding credits at the time of his death... For all that, there was an ageless quality about him. Associates said he had boundless energy, the rapid patter of a stand-up comic and an actor's gift for memory. This was the parallel goal of Mazurky's character Harry Combs of Harry & Tonto-- the roles so poignantly played by 55-year-old Art Carney, who earned an Oscar for "Best Actor." As a retired school teacher in his 70s, widower Harry was living in a decaying building where his apartment was a museum of memories -- all artifacts of a life that had past. -

Questions for an Unmarried Woman
1 Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, December 4, 2012: Focal Film: An Unmarried Woman (1978; U.S.; Written & Directed by Paul Mazursky) Paul Mazursky (1930‐ ) is an American actor, writer, producer, and director. He began his career as a performer—an actor and stage comedian—and then transitioned to TV comedy writing (e.g., The Danny Kaye Show, The Monkees). His breakthrough to feature films was his co‐authorship and co‐executive producing (with Larry Tucker) of the screenplay for I Love You, Alice B. Toklas (1968; Dir.: Hy Averback); this experience motivated him to direct his own work. His directorial debut was the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), which again he co‐wrote with Tucker. Other Mazursky films you might recognize are Harry and Tonto (1974), Next Stop, Greenwich Village (1976), Tempest (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986), and Enemies: A Love Story (1989). Mazursky both wrote (or co‐wrote) and directed all of these. Source material for these films ranges from semi‐autobiography (Next Stop, Greenwich Village) to Shakespeare (Tempest) to a Time magazine photo (Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice) to the tales of an attempted Russian defection in a department store as told to Mazursky by a film crew member (Moscow on the Hudson) to classic French poetic realism film (i.e., the 1932 Jean Renoir film Boudu Saved from Drowning revisited as Down and Out in Beverly Hills). Paul Mazursky’s films have been variously described as: “Personal, -

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 196. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/196 INTRODUCING THE INCOMPARABLE HILDEGARDE: THE SEXUALITY, STYLE, AND IMAGE OF A FORGOTTEN CULTURAL ICON by Monica S. Gallamore A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2012 ABSTRACT INTRODUCING THE INCOMPARABLE HILDEGARDE: THE SEXUALITY, STYLE, AND IMAGE OF A FORGOTTEN CULTURAL ICON Monica S. Gallamore Marquette University, 2012 This study is an historical biography of the popular American entertainer from the nineteen-forties and fifties named Hildegarde. Known by her first name long before such designations became commonplace, Hildegarde achieved such celebrity status that she influenced women‘s fashions and promoted a number of consumer products. She even had her own signature Revlon lipstick and nail polish called ―Hildegarde Rose.‖ Hildegarde‘s career spanned for more than seventy years, beginning as a pianist for silent movies in Milwaukee and eventually becoming the darling of nightclubs and supper clubs. Unfortunately, few people remember this entertainer or her influence. She has been overlooked by historians as a cultural influence and a groundbreaking performer even though in 1945 she was the most popular songstress in the nation. Hildegarde is unique because she did not fit into the accepted archetype of women during her heyday. -
Jill Clayburgh Og Michael Murphy (Da Han Bekender Sin Utroskab)
Eiicas udfrielse Poul Malmkjær skriver om Paul Mazurskys »En fri kvinde« Scener fra »En fri kvinde«. Herover med Michael Murphy (ægtemanden), t.v. med Alan Bates (elskeren), og nederst alene. Modsatte side - en tilbeder afvises. E fte r sædekomedien »Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice«, den aldrig herhjemme viste og - husker jeg - kun formelt inte ressante »Alex in Wonderland«, ægteskabsmoraliteten »Blume in Love« (Ud, sa' min kone), »Harry og Tonto«, der er blevet beskrevet som en »tragedy of manners«, den smukt og klart erindrende 50’er-skildring »Next Stop Gre- enwich Village« og nu »An Unmarried Woman« (En fri kvin de), står Paul Mazursky i mine øjne helt i forreste række blandt Hollywoods auteurs. Hans fem samtidsfilm fortæller om individuelle begivenheder på en sådan måde, at de bli ver til afdækninger af noget tidstypisk, moderne comedies of manners. Måden han gør det p å -o g han skriverselv sine manuskripter - er at blande tre elementer fra den nyere filmkunst, den selvoplevede, fordøjede erfaring, den va rierede, iderige amerikanske fortællestil, og den fantastiske filmiske vision, som han især går til Fellini for at blive inspi reret af (se i øvrigt Ib Lindbergs introduktion til Mazursky i »Kosmorama 118,1973). Og selv om det nu er flere år siden jeg så »Alex in Wonderland«, vil jeg vove den påstand, at netop manglende afstand til det selvoplevede væltede fil mens intentioner. Kun dens felliniske visioner blev tilbage. I sine øvrige film har han lagt afstand, og i »En fri kvinde« er han kommet så vidt, at han ligefrem kan forlade Blume og sætte focus på konen. -

Preview of Ventura Film Society's Festival 2010
Preview of Ventura Film Society’s Festival 2010 By Tim Pompey Ventura Breeze – March 10, 2010 Film lovers take heed. Elks Lodge. Downtown Ventura. The Ventura Film Society is serving up tasty cinematic treats and delectable entrees at its Festival 2010. From old classics to new premieres, documentaries to short films, it’s all there for the taking. Here’s a preview. The film director honoree this year is Paul Mazursky. How far back does Paul go in the history of film and television? Try 1953. Stanley Kubrick’s first film, “Fear and Desire.” Never seen it? That’s okay. Not many did. It got lost and rediscovered decades later in Puerto Rico. Mazursky, however, has fared much better. Movies like “The Blackboard Jungle.” TV shows like “The Steve Allen Show,” “Twilight Zone,” and – ready for this? – “The Rifleman.” He still appears occasionally on the tube. Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is a recent example. He also helped develop a little show called “The Monkees.” In our little venue, however, he’s a movie director. He hit the cinematic scene big time in 1969 with the controversial film “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.” He’s done little films like “Next Stop, Greenwich Village,” and major blockbusters like “Down and Out in Beverly Hills.” Jill Clayburgh was nominated for an Oscar in “An Unmarried Woman.” Art Carney won an Oscar for Best Actor in “Harry and Tonto.” Mazursky will have eight films shown during the Festival. Best of all, he’s coming up to spend time with Film Society fans and do an occasional interview or two. -
Interview Bill Conti
Interview Page 1 of 13 Interview Bill Conti By Frédéric Gimello-Mesplomb (Hollywood (USA), August, 9th , 1999) -You was born in Providence, Rhode Island, like the famous film music composer Irving Gertz, specialized in Sci-fi films and others monster movies (Alligator People, The Deadly Mantis, It Came From Outer Space, The Monolith Monsters, among others) … -Really, I did not know ! It is quite funny ! -What is your musical background? Did you have a musical family? -Yes, my grandfather was a musician. I began studying piano with my father, an accomplished pianist, sculptor and painter. My grandfather and him played often extracts of opera at the piano after the dinners. For me opera was wonderful. When I sang the main parts, I saw film scenes in my mind ! Later I thought "Where else to write dramatic music and get paid"? I like to write my music as a professional and get paid. You can write opera today but you have to teach in school. After that, I went to Louisiana State University to study bassoon and Juilliard School of Music in New York, with Hugo Weisgall, Vincent Persichetti, Roger Sessions and Luciano Berio. I went to live in Roma for seven years… -Why? -Because in 1967 my teacher in composition and opera in Juilliard, Hugo Weisgall, crossed the Atlantic to be composer in residence at the American Academy, in Rome, where he was elected. So, he invited my wife and me to follow him. -Your "Rome years"… -Well, when I was in Rome, I began playing piano in night clubs.
