Date: 11 June 2014 Maserati Official Sponsor Of The Taormina Film Festival Two of Italy's finest celebrate important respective anniversaries In 2014, the year that sees Maserati celebrate its centenary, the famous Italian marque renews its partnership with the world of cinema, linking its image to that of the Taormina Film Festival, of which it is the Main Sponsor. Under the agreement, Maserati will provide its Quattroporte and Ghibli models as official cars for the courtesy car service laid on for the many stars attending the screenings. In addition, for the duration of the event, a lounge area called "Casa Taormina" will be set up, while the Grand Hotel Timeo will host the Maserati Terrace, the chosen venue for exclusive pre-film cocktail parties. Running this year from 14th to 21st June, over the course of its sixty year history the Taormina Film Festival, staged against the amazing backdrop of the Greek Theatre, has attracted a string of leading international film stars, from Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan to Sophia Loren and Robert De Niro. Films like "Pretty Woman", "Thelma &Louise", "Basic Instinct" and "Pulp Fiction" all enjoyed successful Italian premieres at Taormina. Maserati has consolidated its links with the world of cinema over the course of its first one hundred years thanks also to the presence of a number of its most iconic models in some of the most seminal Italian and international movies. Indeed, dozens of films have included scenes featuring a Maserati. The first, was a film shot in 1950, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni: “Story of a love affair”. The film starred the lovely Lucia Bosè and an elegant Maserati A6 1500, the Trident marque's first ever GranTurismo. More recently, a fifth generation Quattroporte co-starred in the hugely successful French film directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, “The Intouchables”, driven by actor Omar Sy, who has picked up three Best Actor awards: at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2011 and at the César Awards and the Lumière Awards in 2012. In the year that sees Maserati celebrate its Centenary, the car manufacturer is enjoying strong growth. Present in approximately seventy markets around the world, Maserati confirms its role as international ambassador of Italian excellence. With an even bigger range, thanks to the new Quattroporte and Ghibli, Maserati is progressively improving its sales figures. With 12,512 cars sold around the world in the first five months of the year, Maserati is advancing quickly towards its ambitious sales targets. Fashion, culture, high society, the world of entertainment and social change are all woven through the 60-year history of the Taormina Festival and the first 100 years of Maserati.

Director and cinephile Peter Bogdanovich (who almost made an early version of Lonesome Dove during the era of the revisionist Western) writes that “There are no ‘old’ movies—only movies you have already seen and ones you haven't.” With all that in mind, our Fall 2012 selections presented at 4070 Vilas Hall, the Chazen Museum of Art, and the Marquee Theater at Union South offer a moveable feast of outstanding international movies from the silent era to the present, some you may have seen and some you probably haven’t. Retrospective series include five classic “Anti-Westerns” from the late 1960s and early 70s; the complete features of Russian master Aleksei Guerman; action epics and contemplative dramas from Japanese filmmaker Kenji Misumi; a breathtaking survey of Italian Masterworks from the neorealist era to the early 1970s; Depression Era comedies and dramas with scripts by the renowned Preston Sturges; and three silent comedy classics directed by and starring Charles Chaplin. Other Special Presentations include a screening of Yasujiro Ozu’s Dragnet Girl with live piano accompaniment and an in-person visit from veteran film and television director Tim Hunter, who will present one of his favorite films, Tsui Hark’s Shanghai Blues and a screening of his own acclaimed youth film, River’s Edge.

Focusing on the Italian popular magazine «Oggi»’s coverage of these stars’ scandals, my article aims to investigate popular discourses of sexuality and motherhood in relation to historical and social change in postwar Italy, in particular the interconnectedness of media scandals, star’s textual and extratextual images, and the symbolic construction of motherhood. Keywords Ingrid Bergman; Sophia Loren; star scandals; motherhood DOI 10.13130/2532-2486/13385 Negli anni Cinquanta, due sono gli scandali divistici legati alla sfera dell’intimità e della famiglia che vengono maggiormente discussi sulle pagine dei rotocalchi popolari: la relazione adulterina tra Ingrid Bergman e Roberto Rossellini, poi sfo- ciata in un matrimonio per procura e nella nascita di tre figli, e quella tra Sophia Loren e Carlo Ponti, sui quali i rotocalchi popolari costruiscono uno storytelling melodrammatico tra accuse di bigamia, rifugi all’estero e maternità mancate.

Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue?
