  • SFSFF 2018 Program Book
    elcome to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for five days and nights of live cinema! This is SFSFFʼs twenty-third year of sharing revered silent-era Wmasterpieces and newly revived discoveries as they were meant to be experienced—with live musical accompaniment. We’ve even added a day, so there’s more to enjoy of the silent-era’s treasures, including features from nine countries and inventive experiments from cinema’s early days and the height of the avant-garde. A nonprofit organization, SFSFF is committed to educating the public about silent-era cinema as a valuable historical and cultural record as well as an art form with enduring relevance. In a remarkably short time after the birth of moving pictures, filmmakers developed all the techniques that make cinema the powerful medium it is today— everything except for the ability to marry sound to the film print. Yet these films can be breathtakingly modern. They have influenced every subsequent generation of filmmakers and they continue to astonish and delight audiences a century after they were made. SFSFF also carries on silent cinemaʼs live music tradition, screening these films with accompaniment by the worldʼs foremost practitioners of putting live sound to the picture. Showcasing silent-era titles, often in restored or preserved prints, SFSFF has long supported film preservation through the Silent Film Festival Preservation Fund. In addition, over time, we have expanded our participation in major film restoration projects, premiering four features and some newly discovered documentary footage at this event alone. This year coincides with a milestone birthday of film scholar extraordinaire Kevin Brownlow, whom we celebrate with an onstage appearance on June 2.

How does explicit instruction affect exploratory play and learning? We present a model that captures pedagogical assumptions Given that children learn both from spontaneous (adapted from Shafto and Goodman, 2008) and test the model with exploration and explicit instruction, how does explicit a novel experiment looking at 4-year-olds’ exploratory play in instruction affect exploratory play and learning? In pedagogical and non-pedagogical contexts. Our findings are pedagogical situations, it is reasonable for learners to expect consistent with the model predictions: preschool children limit that the teacher is helping them learn; this expectation may their exploration in pedagogical contexts, spending most of their facilitate learning in novel situations (Klahr & Nigam, 2004; free play performing only the demonstrated action.

  • Wędrówki Po Bibliografii: Edgar Wallace
    Jerzy Gronau WĘDRÓWKI PO BIBLIOGRAFII ANGIELSKIEGO AUTORA POWIEŚCI SENSACYJNO-KRYMINALNYCH EDGARA WALLACE (Richard Horatio) Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) Kraków 2004 1 Jerzy GRONAU – Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII Edgara WALLACE `a 2 Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju „zabawy umysłowej” którą przeżyłem przy innej pracy podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie bibliografii tegoż autora. Już w dobrze zaawansowanej pracy, zdobyłem niedostępną w Polsce bibliografię „The British Bibliography of Edgar Wallace” z roku 1969, która stała się podstawą zreorganizowania moich dotychczasowych zapisów, dotyczących angielskich wydań tego autora. By rozszerzyć zakres informacji, dodałem również informacje o wydaniach w polskim języku, jak i w niemieckim oraz francuskim, które jednak z braku dostępnych źródeł są niepełne. Polskie przekłady różnych tłumaczy względnie opracowywujących nowe wydania, ukazywały się tak przed drugą wojną, jak i po niej. Wydało je kilkanaście wydawnictw, pod różnymi tytułami – bez odniesienia się do tytułu oryginału. Niestety informacje o przedwojennych przekładach pochodzą ze źródeł wtórnych, bowiem nie możliwym stało się obecnie zdobycie nie „zaczytanych” egzemplarzy, które w niektórych bibliotekach figurują raczej jako zniszczone lub zagubione egzemplarze. Muszę tutaj nadmienić, że nie znalazłem w swoich poszukiwaniach dotąd polskiej biblioteki tak naukowej jak i publicznej z pełnym kompletem powojennych wydań tego autora. Zresztą podobnie jest z wydawnictwami zgranicznymi- tam też trudno trafić na większy zbiór wydanych książek tego autora. Moje niniejsze opracowanie składa się z szeregu tabel, częściowo uporządkowanych wg bibliografii jak wyżej ze znakiem numeru kodu, jak również alfabetycznie i rokiem wydania książki. Myślę, że opracowania te przydadzą się dla poszukujących informacji bibliograficznych, choć zdaję sobie sprawę, że nie wyczerpują w pełni tego tematu.

Deposit Guide Contact: email The Representation of London Nights in British Popular Press and Film, 1919-1939 Candidate name: Mara Arts Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Birkbeck, University of London 1 Declaration of original work I hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. 2 Abstract This thesis explores the representation of night-time activities in the capital in popular British newspapers and films of the period. It argues that, whilst an increasingly democratised night allowed for more opportunities for previously marginalised groups, popular media of the period largely promoted adherence to the status quo. The thesis draws on extensive primary source material, including eighty British feature films and newspaper samples of the Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Mirror to systematically analyse the representation of London’s nightlife in the British interwar period. This period saw the consolidation of the popular daily newspaper industry and, after government intervention, an expansion of the domestic film industry. The interwar period also saw great social change with universal suffrage, technological developments and an economic crisis.
