We are continuing to attract students to the program, and are ending 2016 with over 70 majors and minors. We are also expanding our curriculum by sponsoring or co-sponsoring innovative new courses. Highlights this fall included "Race to the White House" taught by CNN political analyst David Gregory, Susan Napier's "History of Animation," and new faculty member Alexander Shraytekh's "Popular Culture and the Arab Spring." Next semester, we are tremendously fortunate that our technical support specialist Natalie Minik, who is an accomplished documentary filmmaker, will be teaching "Documentary: History, Theory and New Directions" through the Experimental College. Among the events we participated in this fall, of particular note was "A Year Like No Other: Politics & The Press in 2016," which FMS Co-director Julie Dobrow helped organize. Featuring New York Times reporter Patrick Healy, National Public Radio reporter Asma Khalid, Mic co-founder Jake Horowitz, and moderated by David Gregory, the panel offered insights into the role of the media in this tumultuous election cycle. Meanwhile, in December we welcomed to campus Dudley Andrew, the R. Selden Rose Professor of Comparative Literature and professor of Film Studies at Yale University, who gave a stimulating talk on 3D. Finally, the merger with the SMFA continued apace, and we are in the process of integrating the SMFA's curriculum with ours.

    AMY LEMISCH Executive Director California Film Commission As Executive Director of the California Film Commission, Amy Lemisch oversees all of the state's efforts to facilitate motion picture, television and commercial production. She was appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in May 2004, and continues to serve for Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. Under her leadership, the Commission coordinates with all levels of state and local government to promote California as a production locale. Such efforts in-turn create jobs, increase production spending and generate tax revenues. In addition to overseeing the Commission's wide range of support services, Ms. Lemisch also serves as the state's leading advocate for educating legislators, production industry decision makers and the public at large about the value of filming in California. Among her many accomplishments, Ms. Lemisch was instrumental in the creation, passage and implementation of the California Film & Television Tax Credit Program, which was enacted in 2009 to help curb runaway production. The Commission is charged with administering the $500 million program that targets the types of productions most likely to leave California due to incentives offered in other states and countries. Prior to her appointment at the Commission, Ms. Lemisch served for more than 15 years as a producer for Penny Marshall’s company - Parkway Productions. While based at Universal Studios and Sony Pictures, she was responsible for overseeing physical production on all Parkway projects, as well as selecting new projects for the company to produce. Her credits include: producer on the independent feature film WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE; co-producer on RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS (starring Drew Barrymore), THE PREACHER’S WIFE (starring Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston) and RENAISSANCE MAN (starring Danny DeVito); associate producer on AWAKENINGS, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, and CALENDAR GIRL.

  • Garry E Penny Marshall E Il Mito “Abruzzese”
    | 1 GARRY E PENNY MARSHALL E IL MITO “ABRUZZESE” DI HAPPY DAYS di Piercesare Stagni* L’AQUILA – Chi mai potrebbe pensare che tra la mitica e americanissima serie tv Happy Days e l’Abruzzo esiste un legame? Eppure, incredibile ma vero, è proprio così, perché questi celebri telefilm, imperniati sulle vicende della simpatica famiglia Cunningham di Milwaukee e sulle gesta dell’invincibile Fonzie, furono creati da Garry Marshall, regista, attore e produttore originario di San Martino sulla Marrucina, in provincia di Chieti. E sorprendentemente i collegamenti tra la famosissima serie e la nostra regione non si esauriscono qui, perché anche la sorella di Marshall, Penny, recitò in Happy Days nel ruolo della simpatica operaia italoamericana Laverne De Fazio: addirittura, insieme all’inseparabile www.virtuquotidiane.it | 2 Shirley, interpretata da Cindy Williams, divenne protagonista di una serie tutta loro, Laverne & Shirley appunto. Si trattava di uno spin-off, di una nuova sit-com derivata dalla principale, da Happy Days, che in Italia circolò solo in alcune televisioni private dei primi anni ‘80 ma che spopolò negli Stati Uniti, a tal punto da battere negli ascolti anche le vicende di Richie Cunningham e dei suoi amici: un successo talmente grande da far nascere anche una versione a cartoni animati delle vicende delle due simpatiche e spregiudicate ragazze, Laverne e Shirley nell’esercito. www.virtuquotidiane.it | 3 Il cognome di Penny e Garry Marshall in origine era Masciarelli, ma il padre, Anthony, decise di cambiarlo alla nascita del figlio maschio, probabilmente per farlo crescere senza le discriminazioni a cui gli italiani e le altre minoranze etniche erano purtroppo frequentemente esposte: forse è stato proprio il cambio di cognome a non renderli noti come avrebbero meritato in Italia, ma in realtà le carriere dei due artisti sono state eccezionali, purtroppo accomunate anche dalla relativa triste vicinanza della loro morte, nel 2016 per Garry e solo pochi giorni fa, il 17 dicembre 2018, per Penny.

    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness" Published May 22nd, 2013 "Star Trek Into Darkness" By Derek Zemrak One of the most famous quotes in the Star Trek legacy is "Where no man has gone before!" This film is a huge undertaking for any director of the Star Trek franchise that has created more than 700 television shows and 12 movies. At first glance into the galaxy, I would say man has gone everywhere, but surprisingly director J.J. Abrams, who directed the first reboot in 2009, delivers a detailed storyline and a movie that is exhilarating to watch on the big screen. Moviegoers will be on the edge of their seats as they experience a brilliantly shot film, while they cheer on the Enterprise crew to succeed in battle against the evil villain of mass destruction. Once again Chris Pine ("Bottle Shock," "Rise of the Guardians") returns as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto ("Margin Call," "Heroes," "American Horror Story") portrays Spock. As with the cult popular television series, it is the ensemble cast that makes it all work, with Zoe Saldana ("Avatar") as Uhura, Karl Urban ("The Lord of the Rings") as Bones, Simon Pegg ("Ice Age") as Scotty, and John Cho From left: Zachary Quinto is Spock and Chris Pine is ("Harold & Kumar") as Sulu.

  • From the Workshop of JJ Abrams
    CHAPTER SIX From the Workshop of J. J. Abrams: Bad Robot, Networked Collaboration, and Promotional Authorship Leora Hadas University of Nottingham Whether ‘New golden age’ (Leopold, 2013) or ‘Peak TV’ (Paskin, 2015) – whatever glowing accolades cultural commentators now choose to use, all describe television in the United States as going from strength to strength. For a sustained number of years now, critics and popular opinion alike has celebrated a qualitative transformation in the output of an industry that has struggled for years to shed the image of a ‘vast wasteland’ (Minow, 1961). In critical and academic circles alike, credit for these exciting developments and the transformation of US television has tended to focus on a specific feature of the contemporary industry: the figure of the showrunner, television’s new auteur (Martin, 2013). The emergence of the showrunner-as-auteur has provided US television with a crucial source of cultural legitimacy, one traceable back to Bourdieu’s concept of the ‘“charisma” ideology’ (1980, p. 262) at work in judgements of artistic value.
