Brooklyn, NY/May 22, 2014—From Sunday, June 29 through Thursday, July 10, BAMcinématek and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences present By Any Means Necessary: A Spike Lee Joints Retrospective, a 12-day series spanning three decades and commemorating the 15th anniversary of BAMcinématek, which launched in 1999 with a survey of Lee’s career. The writer-director-actor’s consistently surprising work displays a boundless visual imagination, some of the most fearlessly intelligent discourse on race relations in American cinema, and an ability to infuse independent projects and big-budget blockbusters alike with his edgy, energetic style. From June 27—July 27, the Academy will also present a west coast retrospective of Lee’s work at the Academy’s Linwood Dunn Theater and the Bing Theater on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art campus. Kicking off the New York retrospective and closing BAMcinemaFest on June 29 is a 25th anniversary celebration of Lee’s Oscar®-nominated Do the Right Thing.

  • CAAS-340 Syllabus
    CAAS 340, American Culture 340, English 411 By Any Means Necessary: Studying Spike Lee’s Films Professor Michael Awkward Tuesdays 3-6, Angell Hall G115 Office Hours, Location, and Phone Number: T 9-10, Th 10-11, Tisch 3062, 4-0444 This course will survey a selection of the feature films and documentaries of Spike Lee, and some of the scholarship these films – and the often-controversial Lee himself – have generated. We will begin with the 1986 release, She’s Gotta Have It (1986), which began what has been called a black (American) film renaissance, and end with his compelling 2006 releases, the blockbuster Inside Man and the acclaimed HBO documentary about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, When the Levees Broke. Our task will be to examine, among other topics, whether there are recurrent themes, points-of-view, attitudes, and stylistic flourishes that characterize what he calls a “Spike Lee Joint.” We will be particularly concerned with how dominant categories of identity -- race, class, sexuality, and gender – are treated within his corpus of films. In addition, we’ll explore the variety of critical responses to U.S. films generally, and to Lee’s releases in particular (especially newspaper, internet, and magazine reviews and scholarly essays). Required Texts: Paula J. Massood, editor, The Spike Lee Reader (Temple University Press) Films (to be streamed onto ctools site): She’s Gotta Have It (1986) Do the Right Thing (1989) Jungle Fever (1991) Malcolm X (1992) Clockers (1995) Get On the Bus (1996) 4 Little Girls (1997) He Got Game

  • He Got Game. Touchstone Pictures. 1998. Writer/Director: Spike Lee
    Book Reviews 181 He Got Game. Touchstone Pictures. 1998. Writer/Director: Spike Lee. 131 minutes. Spike Lee's He Got Game is riveting at times in portraying the dilemmas facing Jesus Shuttlesworth (played well by NBA and former UConn star Ray Allen) in tryingto choose whether to sign with a major college basketball program or to jump straight into the NBA. Lee focuses on the recruit and his immediate friends (with and without quotes) and family rather than on the recruiting process (no in-home visits here, for example), focuses on the hours spent practicing, the years of pushing himself and especially, in the case of his father, Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington) of being pushed, and not just metaphorically. Lee shoots for big game in this movie, with a wonderful musi- cal mix of Aaron Copland with Public Enemy, which seems to fit perfectly the tone and imagery of this important sports film. In spite of some overdone subplots (does Jake really have to "save" a hooker from her game?), this film far outshines other basketball movies (Blue Chips, White Men Can't Jump, Space Jam, etc.) in addressing important sports themes. He Got Game ranks with the documentary Hoop Dreams and Boyz N the Hood in showing the fine line between making it out of the projects through sports and being forever stuck without hope, if you haven't died already, like Ricky, the football prospect in Boyz N the Hood. Everyone is pulling at Jesus' robes trying to gain influence, favors, future money, and most importantly, trying to connive out of him a decision he, like so many players projected #1, wants to have over with now.

The $50,000 Prize is given to a contemporary artist in any field who has been consistently original, influential, and challenging to convention, with artists nominated by the Wexner Center’s International Arts Advisory Council. This marks the first award in Lee’s career from a multidisciplinary arts center. He will be at the Wexner Center February 11 and 12, 2008 for the private ceremony, and to participate in a variety of events for Wexner Center members, Ohio State students, area teens, and the general public (see page 2 for details of confirmed events). Notes Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin, “Since bursting on the scene in 1986 with his quirky and irreverent movie She’s Gotta Have It, Spike Lee has been among the most significant voices in American film. With a fierce commitment to capturing and conveying the lived experiences of African Americans, he brings to all his projects a unique and independent vision combined with an unerring ‘street savvy.’ With this Prize—his first from a multidisciplinary arts center—we honor Lee’s work in feature film, documentaries, television movies, music video, and even commercials.” Leslie H.

  • Public Enemy 2013.Pdf
    PERFORMERS Due to Public Enemy’s work, hip-hop established itself as a global force. ------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- By Alan Light _________________________________ UN-DM C had a more revolutionary impact on the way records are made. N.W . A spawned more imitators. The Death Row and Bad Boy juggernauts sold more R albums. Jay-Z has topped the charts for many more years. But no act in the history of hip-hop ever felt more important than Public Enemy. A t the top o f its game, PE redefined not just what a rap group could accomplish, but also the very role pop musicians could play in contemporary culture. Lyrically, sonically, politi­ cally, onstage, on the news - never before had musicians been considered “radical” across so many different platforms. The mix of agitprop politics, Black Panther-meets-arena-rock packaging, high drama, and low comedy took the group places hip-hop has never been before or since. For a number of years in the late eighties and early nineties, it was, to sample a phrase from the Clash, the only band that mattered. I put them on a level with Bob Marley and a handful of other artists,” wrote the late Adam Yauch (the Beastie Boys were one of Public Enemy's earliest champions). “[It’s a] rare artist who can make great music and also deliver a political and social message. But where Marley’s music sweetly lures you in, then sneaks in the message, Chuck D grabs you by the collar and makes you listen.” Behind, beneath, and around it all was that sound.

  • For Immediate Release Academy® Award
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACADEMY® AWARD NOMINATED FILMMAKER SPIKE LEE ANNOUNCED AS KEYNOTER FOR THE 29TH ANNUAL NAMIC CONFERENCE NEW YORK, NY – September 18, 2015 -- NAMIC (National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications) today announced that Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, Spike Lee has joined the roster of speakers set for the 29th Annual NAMIC Conference. A two-day symposium held in conjunction with the television industry's Diversity Week, the NAMIC Conference will take place September 29-30, 2015 at the New York Marriott Marquis in New York City. Mr. Lee's keynote presentation will highlight the NAMIC Conference general session scheduled for Wednesday, September 30. “For more than two decades, Spike Lee has demonstrated his commitment to advocating for diversity on screen and behind the camera," said Eglon E. Simons, president and CEO of NAMIC. "An icon within the entertainment industry, NAMIC is honored to have Mr. Lee share his insight and vast experience at this year's conference." One of the most celebrated multi-hyphenate storytellers of all-time, Lee is a director, writer, producer, actor, author and educator. A forerunner in the ‘Do It Yourself’ school of independent film, Lee's first feature, She's Gotta Have It, shot on just $175,000, grossed over seven million at the box office. Lee has since produced and directed countless movies--or, as they're known in the vernacular, "Spike Lee Joints." Lee's extensive resume includes box office successes such as Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever, School Daze, Malcolm X, Summer of Sam, Crooklyn, He Got Game, Inside Man, Miracle at St.
