Three competing films each year benefit not only from greater exposure and visibility, but also from subtitling into all official 24 European languages, thus giving it wider availability prospects and support to distributors. In 2020, the European Parliament joined forces with the European Film Academy and revamped its LUX PRIZE into the LUX AUDIENCE AWARD. Until last year, only Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) could select the award winner by voting. Now, audiences from all over Europe are also invited to vote for the LUX AUDIENCE AWARD by rating each film with stars: they represent 50% of the total votes. The other 50% is represented by the vote of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). The film with the highest average rating will become the winner. The winner will be announced at a ceremony on 9 June 2021, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Through this process, the ambition is to create the biggest audience jury ever, giving MEPs and the audience the opportunity to share a real cinematic experience. The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the creative and cinema industry hard. Cinema screenings of the three finalist films have been limited, and are mostly been replaced by online screenings and events. MEPs have approved the biggest ever budget for the EU's culture and creative sectors - -2027 in May plenary session. How will European cinema cope in the aftermaths of the Covid-19 pandemic? [Type here] The European Film Academy represented by Mike Downey, initiated last year the International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk (such as Oleg Sentsov) and protagonists of the LUX films of this year: Bartosz Bielenia (lead actor in the Polish film CORPUS CHRISTI, last r) and Catalin Tolontan (journalist and protagonist in the Romanian documentary COLLECTIVE - European Documentary 2020 and 2021 Oscar contender in four categories). Why is free speech critical to film production?

    Monday, May 24, 2021 | No. 169 When Star Wars opened May 25, 1977 no one but Steven Spielberg thought it would be a hit. George Lucas had been turned down by Universal, United Artists and Disney before pitching 20th Century Fox his sci-fi epic inspired by 1930's serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, the 1966 TV series Star Trek and Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune. Fox creative affairs chief Alan Ladd, Jr. greenlighted SW, but Fox's distribution arm never considered it a likely hit. Fox marketers wanted to change the title because moviegoers might think Star Wars was about the Vietnam War or, perhaps, superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorce. When Lucas screened a rough cut for some director pals, they weren't impressed. Brian De Palma reportedly called it the "worst movie" ever made. Spielberg, however, predicted SW would be "the biggest movie of all time." Lucas thought SW was doomed and skipped its premiere to vacation with Spielberg in Hawaii where they heard SW was a boxoffice phenomenon and then came up with a new project to do together -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the first Indiana Jones blockbuster. Exhibitors were reluctant to book SW, thinking only kids and sci-fi buffs would buy tickets, so it opened at just 32 theatres. Two days later, it was in 43 theatres and a week later in 157. It peaked in mid-August at 1,096, a very wide run then. Produced for $11 million, its original release did $461 million domestically and $196 million abroad – huge numbers at Theatrical Poster for Star Wars, the time.

  • International Feature Film Award Rules
    RULE THIRTEEN SPECIAL RULES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM AWARD The unprecedented coronavirus/COVID-19 global pandemic mandated the closure of commercial motion picture theaters worldwide. Until further notice and for the 93rd Awards year only, country selected films that had a previously planned theatrical release but are initially made available through a reputable commercial streaming distribution service or video on demand may qualify for awards consideration in the International Feature category for the 93rd Academy Awards under these provisions: Provide to The Academy documentation (original document(s) and an English translation) of government mandated theater/cinema closure dates, previously planned theatrical release and steaming distribution or video on demand agreements. The film be made available on the secure Academy Screening Room member site within 60 days of the film being officially selected; That it meets all other eligibility requirements. When theaters reopen in accordance with national and local specified guidelines and criteria, and on a date to be determined by the Academy, this rules exemption will no longer apply. All films released thereafter will be expected to comply with the standard International Feature Film category theatrical qualifying requirements. In order for films to more easily meet theatrical exhibition requirements, the Academy will allow films to qualify outside the country of origin, provided the film is theatrically exhibited outside of the United States and its territories for at least seven consecutive days in a commercial motion picture theater for paid admission. The International Feature Executive Committee will evaluate all matters of rules and eligibility. Film festivals have been impacted by the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.

    Vol. LXXXXVIII Jonathan Dayton High School May 2021 May 2021 Edition EDITORIAL BOARD Brielle & Nicole Ramundo Ms. Rooney-Kuhn Sarah Zarember Editors in Chief Advisor Opinions Editor EDITORIAL BOARD OPINION This year has definitely been challenging for the students at Jonathan Dayton. The new virtual setting has impacted everyone’s lives and schedules, and it can be hard to find the light in this dark situation. Not being able to have the normal high school experience for almost two school years is something that the students at Dayton never imagined. However, despite the current circumstances, it is imperative that we remember to make the best out of this situation, and to continue to look forward to the improvements the future is sure to hold. Just because we are interacting with teachers and classmates through a computer screen does not mean new goals cannot be achieved and memories cannot be made. If we look to the bright side of this situation and remain calm, patient, and hopeful, we will be back through Dayton’s doors very soon.
