Film Independent, Chicago Filmmakers, Kindling Group, Kirby Dick, Jeffrey Kusama-Hinte, J S Mayank, David Novack, Laurence Thrush IN RE: Docket No. RM 2011-07 RESPONSE TO PROPOSED CLASS 7D We, the undersigned organizations and individuals, write in support of the Comment of International Documentary Association, Kartemquin Educational Films, Inc., National Alliance for Media, Arts, and Culture, and Independent Film Project, petitioning for an exemption to the DMCA’s anti-circumvention measures for DVD, Blu-Ray, and digitally transmitted video for the purpose of documentary and fictional filmmaking (“Proposed Class 7D”).1 The undersigned organizations work to support and defend filmmakers nationwide through educational outreach, financial support, and advocacy. Through seminars, written resources, workshops, festivals, grants, and other means, we support filmmakers at every stage of the filmmaking process. The undersigned individuals are award-winning filmmakers with decades of experience who have spent their careers contributing to American culture and journalism through film and who deeply understand the increasing value of filmmaking to our civic discourse, educational system, and American society as a whole. As filmmakers and filmmaker organizations, we know that the doctrine of fair use is integral to the filmmaking process. Without it we could not tell our stories, comment on society and culture, or illustrate our themes and arguments effectively. We write in support of Proposed Class 7D because we are concerned that the DMCA is prohibiting access to source material we depend on in order to make fair use. The Librarian of Congress must renew the 2010 exemption for DVDs for documentary filmmaking in order to prevent substantial harm to our ability to make fair use.

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

  • U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress
    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Michael Moodie Assistant Director and Senior Specialist in Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S.

  • Zola.’ (AP) Song of the Summer
    ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Music Dacus sings young love Cat album falters at fi rst but ends strong By Mark Kennedy ot to be totally catty, but Doja Cat’s third album Nstarts poorly. The first four songs — “Woman,” “Naked,” “Payday” with Young Thug and “Get Into It (Yuh)” — are half-baked tunes mimicking beats and vocals from Nicki Minaj or Rihanna. None are note- worthy. It’s depressing. What happened to the artist behind 2019s “Hot Pink,” a sonic breath of fresh air? What happened to the Doja Cat whose electric performance of “Say So” at the Grammys was reminiscent of Missy Elliott’s futurism? Just wait. The fi fth song, “Need to Know,” is a superb, steamy sex tape of a song (with Dr. Luke co-writing and producing) and the sixth, “I Don’t Do Drugs” featuring Ariana Grande, is airy and confi dent with heav- enly harmonies. “Love to Dream” follows, a slice of dreamy pop, and then The Weeknd stops by on a terrifi c, slow-burning “You Right.” Cat The Cat is back. From then on, the 14-track “Planet Her” rights itself with whispery pop songs and the envelope-pushing “Options” with JID, climaxing with the awesome “Kiss Me More,” the previously released single with SZA that has a Gwen Stefani-ish refrain and must be considered a strong contender for This image released by A24 shows Riley Keough, (left), and Taylour Paige in a scene from ‘Zola.’ (AP) song of the summer. Despite the weak start, Doja Cat fulfi lls her promise on “Planet Her,” with an exciting, unpredictable style and a vocal ability that can switch from buttery sweet- Film ness to cutting raps.

  • Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America
    Issue No. 3, Summer 2021 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America AEI, Reopening By Robert Doar The hot summer is here in Washington and with it, at long last, a return to the way our building on Massachusetts Avenue should always be. Scholars and public officials are gathering for meals and meetings. Students are assembling for classes conducted by the best public intellectuals in America. The halls are alive with talk of how we can advance the promise of the United States with policies that promote individual freedom, family, faith, and the benefits of work and free and open markets. Like many of you, throughout much of the past year, AEI scholars and staff became experts in Zoom and found new ways to stay connected with our wider community. For the most part, some members of AEI’s senior team and I were at our desks here in the D’Aniello Building, but it was a pretty empty space. Thankfully, our scholars, research assistants, and business and outreach teams working remotely continued to lead the most important debates facing our nation. Some of the great work our scholars produced during this unprecedented time includes Scott Gottlieb’s bipartisan leadership on our pandemic response (including his 66 consecutive appearances on Face the Nation); Michael R. Strain’s crucial role in designing and implementing the Paycheck Protection Program, which helped save millions of jobs; Frederick M. Hess’ launch of the Conservative Education Reform Network, which is planting the intellectual seeds for meaningful reform in school systems nationwide; Kori Schake’s revitalization of the AEI defense team, including the creation of the Defense Futures Simulator and the addition of a leading national security scholar, Klon Kitchen; and Yuval Levin, Matthew Continetti, and Adam J.
