  • International Casting Directors Network Index
    International Casting Directors Network Index 01 Welcome 02 About the ICDN 04 Index of Profiles 06 Profiles of Casting Directors 76 About European Film Promotion 78 Imprint 79 ICDN Membership Application form Gut instinct and hours of research “A great film can feel a lot like a fantastic dinner party. Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film
    Lives in Limbo: Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film Sarah Casey Benyahia A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies University of Essex October 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which contemporary cinema from a range of different countries, incorporating a variety of styles and genres, explores the relationship to the past of people living in the present who are affected by traumatic national histories. These films, which I’ve grouped under the term ‘temporal gateway’, focus on the ways in which characters’ experiences of temporality are fragmented, and cause and effect relationships are loosened as a result of their situations. Rather than a recreation of historical events, these films are concerned with questions of how to remember the past without being defined and trapped by it: often exploring past events at a remove through techniques of flashback and mise-en-abyme. This thesis argues that a fuller understanding of how relationships to the past are represented in what have traditionally been seen as different ‘national’ cinemas is enabled by the hybridity and indeterminacy of the temporal gateway films, which don’t fit neatly into existing categories discussed and defined in memory studies. This thesis employs an interdisciplinary approach in order to draw out the features of the temporal gateway film, demonstrating how the central protagonist, the character whose life is in limbo, personifies the experience of living through the past in the present. This experience relates to the specifics of a post-trauma society but also to a wider encounter with disrupted temporality as a feature of contemporary life.

    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

  • The Secret in Their Eyes Somewhat Surprisingly, the Argentine Film
    The Secret in Their Eyes Somewhat surprisingly, the Argentine film “The Secret in Their Eyes” (El Secreto de Sus Oyos in Spanish) was the winner of the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film released in 2009. Few in Washington had heard of it, much less seen it. It has finally opened locally at several local art houses, and this review is one shout out to see this finely crafted film before it leaves town prematurely (in Spanish with subtitles). The film opens in Buenos Aires in the year 1999, when a newly-retired criminal court investigator clerk, Benjamin Esposito (Ricardo Darin), begins reflecting on—and hoping to resolve—a notorious rape/murder case of 25 years before in which he was involved. He brings his project to his one-time supervisor, now a judge, Irene Menéndez-Hastings (Soledad Villamil), with whom he has been in love for years. Esposito looks to write a novel based on the unresolved case, which still haunts him, and he consults with Irene in his research. The film then flashes back to 1974 to follow the case’s original intricacies involving the devastated husband of the victim, Ricardo Morales (Pablo Rago), as well as Benjamin’s boss Irene, and his principal office colleague, the roguish drunk Sandoval (the comic Guillermo Francella). Esposito and Sandoval eventually identify a likely prospect, Soledad Villamil and Ricardo Darin in Oscar winner the surly thug Isidro Gomez (Javier Godino), who eventually confesses to Benjamin and Irene (in a fascinating good-cop, bad-cop sequence). Though convicted, Gomez gets off suddenly and mysteriously through the intervention of the then-Peronist government.

  • February 2020 Newsletter
    FEBRUARY 2020 NEWSLETTER Hello to all our members. By the time you read this, it will be Oscar morning. Film fans across the world will cheer or curse the results, lament the snubs and argue bitterly about the Academy Awards' modern relevance. I'm more invested in this year's Oscars than usual, as I've seen fve of the nine Best Picture nominees. I hope Bong Joon-ho's darkly hilarious, superbly-paced social satire Parasite wins Best Picture – which would make it the frst ever non-English language flm to win – but I would also be happy if Taika Waititi's absurd yet hard-hitting comedy Jojo Rabbit or Sam Mendes' harrowing one-take war movie 1917 win. While I found Todd Phillips' Joker to be an enthralling character study reminiscent of There Will Be Blood and Aguirre: The Wrath of God, I would be somewhat disappointed if Joker won Best Picture, as I enjoyed the above flms far more. Some of my cinephile friends have also made a strong case that such a relentlessly nihilistic flm should not win Best Picture. Arthur Fleck heals by embracing his madness as the Joker, but the flm shouldn't frame this as a good thing. I will be very annoyed if Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood wins Best Picture. While this flm had outstanding atmosphere and a deeply compelling core in Rick Dalton's (Leonardo DiCaprio) character arc as an ageing movie star, the plot was bloated and undisciplined, with several redundant characters and a tacked-on third act involving the Manson Family cult.

It analyses the discursive links with a language marked by a political tension that evidences the failure of a social system that seems to place its community beyond the civilizational boundaries of reason (Agamben).

  • Newsletter C-11
    NEWSLETTER C-11 No Red Carpets for the stars this year As this latest Newsletter C-11 arrives on our website for you to read, and as we said back in February, most of the big annual shebangs called awards ceremonies will have come and gone by the end of April, most, though not quite all - the Oscars was a limited live event - in a virtual Netflician blink of the eye. And, of course, thanks to the worldwide pandemic, those familiar red carpets will have stayed in darkened storerooms, whilst the precious stars who would have been asked to walk the walk have instead been couching the couch as the gongs have been announced via zoom or similar technology. There is more to read about those awards later, but before we reveal the winners, just a word about our spoof article in Newsletter C-10 (still on the website if you haven’t yet accessed it). Our day-to-day financial comings and goings are now a minor pain in the leg for Adrian as it is he who deals with such things and is thus having to trek to town to do our banking, but the article for April Fool’s Day, about threepenny bits, florins, guineas etc., was inspired by a Spanish newspaper article about a quite genuine arrangement that was set up recently by the Artistic Metropol cinema in Madrid, a venue which describes itself as la primera sala de cine de Madrid especializada en cine independiente. Here is the low-down on this movie theatre’s imaginative scheme.
