  • Northeast Historic Film - "A" Is for Amateur
    H-Film Northeast Historic Film - "A" is for Amateur Discussion published by Devin Orgeron on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 PLEASE SHARE!!! Bucksport, Maine, USA Proposals Due: March 18, 2019 -Seeking presentation proposals from archivists, collectors and academics- Come celebrate the 20th anniversary of the NHF Summer Symposium! 2019 marks 20 years for our little gathering. And we are celebrating by collaborating with our friends with the Center for Home Movies. 2019 is also the centennial of the birth of the late Robbins Barstow of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Robbins was an amateur filmmaker for seven decades and his "Disneyland Dream" was named to the National Film Registry. Robbins presented his 1936 film "Tarzan and the Rocky Gorge" at the 2005 Summer Symposium. NHF is built on its commitment to amateur and small gauge film. And this year, we dig deep into our roots. Though we will be celebrating the work of, Robbins Barstow, an acknowledged Northeast amateur-auteur, our idea for this program is far from regionally specific. We want amateur movies, travel films, home movies, video, and small gauge work from anywhere and everywhere! And we want to hear your ideas about this material. Your own family films? Sure. Oddities hiding in plain sight in your collections? By all means! Our aim is to consider a variety of perspectives on a category of moving images that is delightfully difficult to pin down. Twenty-first century regional moving image archives discover and collect increasingly diverse audiovisual artifacts that represent increasingly diverse media-making populations. We seek to bring together archivists, collectors, scholars, and practitioners involved with regional AV archives—and regional AV collections within a general archives—to consider this topic from a range of positions.

The Board, established by the National Film Preservation Act of 1988, was reauthorized by acts of Congress in 1992, 1996, 2005, and again in October 2008. [1] [2] [3] The 1996 law also created the non-profit National Film Preservation Foundation which, although affiliated with the National Film Preservation Board, raises money from the private sector. [4] Logo for the National Film Registry The National Film Registry names to its list up to 25 "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films" each year, showcasing the range and diversity of American film heritage to increase awareness for its preservation. [5] However, inclusion on the list is not a guarantee of actual preservation. To be eligible for inclusion, a film must be at least ten years 0Id.[6] For the first selection in 1989, the public nominated almost 1,000 films for consideration. Members of the National Film Preservation Board then developed individual ballots of possible films for inclusion. The ballots were tabulated into a list of 25 films which was then modified by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington and his staff at the Library for the [mal selection.

    Latino leaders nominate 5 East LA movies for the National Film Registry By Antonio Mejías-Rentas The film “Walkout” about the 1968 Chicano student protests was one of the movies nominated for inclusion in the National Film Registry. Photo by Rico Torres/HBO. East Los Angeles -- The Chicano Blowouts of March 1968, in which thousands of students at Garfield and seven other Eastside high schools walked out of their classrooms to protest unequal conditions, were featured in a 2006 film directed by Edward James Olmos titled “Walkout.” It’s one of five movies set or shot in East LA that were nominated this month to become part of the National Film Registry. The registry includes culturally significant films kept by the Library of Congress. https://www.theeastsiderla.com/...hoods/east_los_angeles/latino-leaders-nominate-5-east-la-movies-for-the-national-film-registry/ Latino leaders nominate 5 East LA movies for the National Film Registry | East LA News | theeastsiderla.com Congressmen Raul Ruiz and Joaquín Castro, members of the Hispanic Caucus, nominated a total of 25 films. According to NBC News, the nominations are part of an ongoing effort to fight Latino underrepresentation in Hollywood, which the congressmen say contribute “to the misperceptions and stereotypes about Latinos in our society.” In a letter sent to the Librarian of Congress, Castro and Ruiz said the 25 films were “selected with feedback from the public, including from Latino arts and media advocacy groups, and they reflect the diversity of Latino identities, histories, geographies, and political perspectives.” The list includes two films directed by Olmos – who is also an East LA native.

  • Hollywood: Her Story January 2021 Enewsletter 2020 Films Added to National Film Registry
    Hollywood: Her Story January 2021 ENewsletter 2020 Films Added to National Film Registry Each year since 1988, films have been inducted into the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress reflecting their cultural, historic and artistic importance. In 2020, 25 films were selected bringing the total films in the registry to 800. Nine of those 25 films were directed by women. In past newsletters, we have profiled Lois Weber whose movie Suspense was inducted and Kathryn Bigelow whose movie The Hurt Locker was inducted. In addition to these two women and the women in the following paragraphs, these women also had their movies inducted in 2020: Aloha Wanderwell – With Car and Camera Around the World, Lourdes Portillo – The Devil Never Sleeps and Joan Lander – Mauna Kea: Temple Under Siege. Writer and director Ida May Park was one of Universal’s most important female directors during the silent film era. Bread, released in 1918, was her recently inducted movie. Hired as a writer in 1909, Park wrote 50 films during her career of which she said, “It was because directing seemed so unsuited to a woman that I refused the first company offered me. I don’t know why I looked at it that way, either. A woman can bring to this work splendid enthusiasm and imagination; a natural love of detail and an intuitive knowledge of character. All of these are supposed to be feminine traits, and yet they are all necessary to the successful director. Of course, in order to put on a picture, a woman must have a broadness of viewpoint, a sense of humor and firmness of character – there are times when every director must be something of a martinet – but these characteristics are necessary to balance the others.” Originally an actress, Ida Lupino turned to directing after being suspended from acting for objecting to decisions made by studio executives.
