She was called a genius and a liar and was not one to shy away from bold political views. Despite being from an earlier era, Watch on the Rhine is as relatable today as when it was written and equally potent. This piece ferociously addresses the rise of fascism and the importance of standing in your own truth, even if it makes you an outsider. Truly a force to be reckoned with, Hellman did not waiver in her political stance and continued to be a leader of the feminist movement despite popular opinion. I appreciate that boldness and tenacity.

  • Critical Study on History of International Cinema
    Critical Study on History of International Cinema *Dr. B. P. Mahesh Chandra Guru Professor, Department of Studies in Communication and Journalism, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Karnataka India ** Dr.M.S.Sapna ***M.Prabhudevand **** Mr.M.Dileep Kumar India ABSTRACT The history of film began in the 1820s when the British Royal Society of Surgeons made pioneering efforts. In 1878 Edward Muybridge, an American photographer, did make a series of photographs of a running horse by using a series of cameras with glass plate film and fast exposure. By 1893, Thomas A. Edison‟s assistant, W.K.L.Dickson, developed a camera that made short 35mm films.In 1894, the Limiere brothers developed a device that not only took motion pictures but projected them as well in France. The first use of animation in movies was in 1899, with the production of the short film. The use of different camera speeds also appeared around 1900 in the films of Robert W. Paul and Hepworth.The technique of single frame animation was further developed in 1907 by Edwin S. Porter in the Teddy Bears. D.W. Griffith had the highest standing among American directors in the industry because of creative ventures. The years of the First World War were a complex transitional period for the film industry. By the 1920s, the United States had emerged as a prominent film making country. By the middle of the 19th century a variety of peephole toys and coin machines such as Zoetrope and Mutoscope appeared in arcade parlors throughout United States and Europe. By 1930, the film industry considerably improved its technical resources for reproducing sound.

An attack of Guillain-Barre Syndrome on New Years Day of 2003 triggered a change. During the first few weeks I hallucinated for days at a time. I had dreams that combined reality with hidden wartime fears. In part of one dream I saw myself as a dying patient in an Army hospital in Bournemouth, England. From my first floor bed in the hospital I watched British soldiers lay out my grave in the adjacent cemetery. They used 4’x 8’ panels of plywood to designate the area next to my grave where my horse would be buried. It was a beautiful sunny day. There’s more to the dream, but that’s another story. And, no, I’ve never had a horse – neither in the Army nor in civilian life.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.
