Full Frame Documentary Film Festival Will Open with the U.S FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT INFORMATION: Peggy Albertson, Jennings, 919-929-0225, [email protected] Full Frame Announces 2010 Opening Night Film US Premiere of DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus’s “Kings of Pastry” Durham, N.C., - February 4, 2010 – The 13th annual Full Frame Documentary Film Festival will open with the U.S. Premiere of “Kings of Pastry”. The new feature from directing team DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus captures never-before-seen footage of the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France competition, the ultimate recognition for any French pastry chef. The film follows Jacquy Pfeiffer, co-founder of the French Pastry School in Chicago, through the intense contest‟s three days of mixing, piping and sculpting everything from delicate chocolates to six- foot sugar sculptures, as he teeters between a dream and an obsession. “We are extremely proud to host „Kings of Pastry‟ on Opening Night. Not only is it a celebration of culinary artistry, but it also illustrates the capacity for immense dedication to mastering one‟s craft,” said director of programming, Sadie Tillery. “DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus‟s continued support, involvement, and friendship have meant so much to us over the years, and we are especially honored to highlight their newest film.” The festival has featured many of Pennebaker and Hegedus‟s films at past festivals including “Town Bloody Hall,” “Startup.com,” “Al Franken: God Spoke,” “The War Room,” “Dont Look Back,” “Bob Dylan: 65 Revisited,” and “Elaine Stritch at Liberty,” which screened as the Opening Night film of the 2004 Festival. Pennebaker served as guest curator for the 2002 thematic series “Score! Music and Documentary.” Hegedus also co-curated the 2004 thematic program “Leadership through a Gender Lens.” Additionally, Pennebaker and Hegedus received Full Frame‟s Career Award in 1999. “We are delighted to have the U.S. Premiere of „Kings of Pastry‟ at Full Frame,” said Pennebaker and Hegedus. “The film festival is a treat for filmmakers serving up the most inspiring documentaries along with the best barbeque in the country. We think that „Kings of Pastry‟ will be a tasty start to the festival.” Pennebaker and Hegedus will attend the premiere, along with the film‟s producers Flora Lazar and Frazer Pennebaker. Subject Jacquy Pfeiffer will join them for a panel discussion following the screening. The Opening Night screening is sponsored by the American Tobacco Campus and Capitol Broadcasting Company. The 2010 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival will be held April 8-11, in Durham, N.C., with Duke University as the presenting sponsor.

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 rM£ S£S F 20 ABSTRACT Strategic Scarcity: The Origins and Impact of Environmental Conflict Ideas Elizabeth Hartmann This thesis examines the origins and impact of environmental conflict ideas. It focuses on the work of Canadian political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon, whose model of environmental conflict achieved considerable prominence in U.S. foreign policy circles in the 1990s. The thesis argues that this success was due in part to widely shared neo-Malthusian assumptions about the Third World, and to the support of private foundations and policymakers with a strategic interest in promoting these views. It analyzes how population control became an important feature of American foreign policy and environmentalism in the post-World War Two period. It then describes the role of the "degradation narrative" — the belief that population pressures and poverty precipitate environmental degradation, migration, and violent conflict — in the development of the environment and security field.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • Exploring Films About Ethical Leadership: Can Lessons Be Learned?
    EXPLORING FILMS ABOUT ETHICAL LEADERSHIP: CAN LESSONS BE LEARNED? By Richard J.

Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

  • Matrices of 'Love and Theft': Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan

This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi: 10.1017/S1478572221000013 Matrices of ‘Love and Theft’: Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan MIMI HADDON Abstract This article uses Joan Baez’s impersonations of Bob Dylan from the mid-1960s to the beginning of the twenty-first century as performances where multiple fields of complementary discourse con- verge. The article is organized in three parts. The first part addresses the musical details of Baez’s acts of mimicry and their uncanny ability to summon Dylan’s predecessors. The second con- siders mimicry in the context of identity, specifically race and asymmetrical power relations in the history of American popular music. The third and final section analyses her imitations in the context of gender and reproductive labour, focusing on the way various media have shaped her persona and her relationship to Dylan. The article engages critical theoretical work informed by psychoanalysis, post-colonial theory, and Marxist feminism. Introduction: ‘Two grand, Johnny’ Women are forced to work for capital through the individuals they ‘love’. Women’s love is in the end the confirmation of both men’s and their own negation as individ- uals. Nowadays, the only possible way of reproducing oneself or others, as individuals and not as commodities, is to dam this stream of capitalist ‘love’–a ‘love’ which masks the macabre face of exploitation – and transform relationships between men and women, destroying men’s mediatory role as the representatives of state and capital in relation to women.1 I want to start this article with two different scenes from two separate Bob Dylan films.

  • Freewheelin-On-Line Take Twenty Two
    Freewheelin-on-line Take Twenty Two Freewheelin’ 220 There can be no question: it is a cinematic masterpiece; a milestone in the history of moving images. I am talking about Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy , and, despite the multiple endings to the final part of the trilogy - ‘The Return of the King’ - nothing is lost when you consider the totality of the project. I couldn’t thus resist from having that half-man, half-beast and totally schizophrenic creature Gollum in the fore ground of this month’s cover. It seems that another king is going to return in 2004. It will be 50 years ago next year, in 1954, that Elvis sauntered into the studio and recorded ‘That’s All Right’ which many consider to be the big bang of rock and roll. So expect the usual anniversary celebrations and reports of sightings of the King by shepherds on hillsides and wise men from the north. My sighting of Elvis is taken from the famous 1963 screen print of the legend by Andy Warhol. For every king there must be a queen and who else but Marilyn could equal the iconic status of Elvis? This collage is taken from a study by the artist Mimmo Rotella, completed in 1962, a year of Marilyn’s death. Whilst Elvis is trying to gun Gollum down and Dylan looks inquisitively at the unheavenly creature, Marilyn just wants to take him home and cover him in kisses. Diamonds may be easily had and they may be a girl’s best friend but, for a Steptoe Senior loookalike who prefers thongs to Y-fronts, there’s nothing quite like a search of middle-earth for a golden ring to complete your set.
