Res. 62, 84th Cong.] I. INTROIUCTh)N The Subcooniiitteo' To Investigate Juvenile Delinquency, pursuant to authorization in Seiiate Resolution 190, 83d (ongrss, 2d session, and Senate Resolitioii 62, 84th Coigress, 1st session, has been making a "full and complete study of juvenile delinquency in the United States," ineludinlg its extentt and character" and "its causes and con.. tributing factors.' Hearings have been hel by the subcommittee dealing with com- munity problems in various cities anl with a number of special con- siderations that are believed to be affecting juvenile delinquency. Over a period of several months, the subcommittee received a vast amount, of mail from parents expressing concern regarding the pos- sible deleterious effect upon their children of certain of the media of mass comnmnication. liis led to an inquiry into the relationship to juvenile delinquency of these mass media. On Junie 16 and 17, 1955, the subcommittee held hearings in Los Angeles, Calif., continuing its extensive study of the mass media in order to determine their impact on the youth of our Nation. The sub- committee has already issued an interim report on its study of crime, brutality, horror, and sadism in comic books.1 A report has also been issued on the effects on juvenile delinquency of crime and violence as portrayed on television programs.2 R oth of these subjects were part 'Comic Books and Juvenile Delinquency, a part of the Invpstigation of Juvenile Delinquency In the United States, Interim Report, 84th Cong lot seas.

In studying the effects of crime, violence, sadism, brutality, and sex in the movies on juvenile delinquency, the subcommittee also examined the manner in which these movies are advertised. It was made clear at the outset that the members of the subcommit- tee had no preconceived ideas or final conclusionLs concerning the effects of movies on children. Above all, we (lid not wish to create the im- pression that we had ceisorshij) of the movie industry in mind. The subcommittee has continually denounced censorsbio in all forms. We have adhered to the concept of regulation by the industry itself, and the industry generally does a fine j(-)b in regu'lating itself. As a result of the interim report on crime comnics, the comic-book industry devel- oped a code and appointed an administrator to insure that good comic books were produced. At the I Angeles hearings, the subcommit- tee once again reiterated its denunciation of censorship. It is honestly believed that the majority of the people in the film- making business, the

In this book, we also want to convey a sense of the animator’s place in the making of the fi lm and their perspective on what hap- pened, along with their professional journey leading up to that point. Steve Segal was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1949. He made his fi rst animated fi lms as a high school student before studying Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he continued to produce award- winning, independent ani- mated shorts. Aft er graduating, Segal opened a traditional animation studio in Richmond, making commercials and educational fi lms for ten years. Aft er completing the cult animated fi lm Futuropolis (1984), which he co- directed with Phil Trumbo, Segal moved to Hollywood and became interested in com- puter animation.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-316-64187-3 — Classical Literature on Screen Martin M. Winkler Frontmatter More Information Classical Literature on Screen Martin M. Winkler argues for a new approach to various creative affinities between ancient verbal and modern visual narratives. He examines screen adaptations of classical epic, tragedy, comedy, myth, and history, exploring, for example, how ancient rhetorical principles regarding the emotions apply to moving images and how Aristotle’s perspective on thrilling plot-turns can recur on screen. He also interprets several popular films, such as 300 and Nero, and analyzes works by international directors, among them Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex, Medea), Jean Cocteau (The Testament of Orpheus), Mai Zetterling (The Girls), Lars von Trier (Medea), Arturo Ripstein (Such Is Life), John Ford (Westerns), Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho), and Spike Lee (Chi-Raq). This book demonstrates the undiminished vitality of classical myth and literature in our visual media, as with screen portrayals of Helen of Troy. It is important for all classicists and for scholars and students of film, literature, and history. martin m. winkler is University Professor and Professor of Classics at George Mason University. His most recent books are Cinema and Classical Texts: Apollo’s New Light (Cambridge, 2009), The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology (2009), and Arminius the Liberator: Myth and Ideology (2015). He has also published numerous articles, book chapters, and reviews, and edited several essay collections on classical antiquity and film. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-316-64187-3 — Classical Literature on Screen Martin M.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone. PAUL VARNER is professor of English at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.

However, when US explorer, Hiram Bingham, announced that he had discovered the “lost city” in 1911, few would have predicted Machu Picchu’s rise to fame during the twentieth century. My dissertation traces the unlikely transformation of Machu Picchu into its present-day role as a modern tourism destination and a representation of Peruvian national identity.
