  • 2007 Scms 2007
    2007 SCMS CONFERENCE PROGRAM and SCREENING SYNOPSES MARCH 8–11 • HILTON CHICAGO SOCIETY FOR CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES SOCIETY 2007 SCMS CONFERENCE PROGRAM and SCREENING SYNOPSES MARCH 8–11 • HILTON CHICAGO CHICAGO Letter from the SCMS President Welcome to Chicago! Our conference this year is another very large gathering of film scholars from around the world. Our conferences have continued to grow in size each year, and this year is no exception. We received 877 proposals, compared with 845 last year and 708 the year before for London. By far, our biggest category this year was the Open Call submissions, which suggests that we are seeing an influx of new members trying out the conference for a first time. But you will also find many familiar faces and names among the attendees, and our roster of program topics fully reflects the diverse nature of moving picture media in today’s world. One of my priorities as President has been to encourage the diversification of program topics at our conferences in ways that are reflective of our organization’s dual function name—cinema and media. Seeing this occur over the past few years has been enormously pleasurable for me. I believe that our confer- ences are more exciting intellectually than they have ever been, and the wealth of topics addressed by papers and panels—cinema, television, radio, video games, media policy, global economy, and so on—demonstrates the continuing vitality of our field. This opening up of focus is far from being a symptom of centerlessness or confused identities—instead, it demonstrates how our field and its scholars are keeping pace with rapid changes in the world of moving image media.

  • South Coast Repertory Is a Professional Resident Theatre Founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson
    IN BRIEF FOUNDING South Coast Repertory is a professional resident theatre founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson. VISION Creating the finest theatre in America. LEADERSHIP SCR is led by Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Paula Tomei. Its 33-member Board of Trustees is made up of community leaders from business, civic and arts backgrounds. In addition, hundreds of volunteers assist the theatre in reaching its goals, and about 2,000 individuals and businesses contribute each year to SCR’s annual and endowment funds. MISSION South Coast Repertory was founded in the belief that theatre is an art form with a unique power to illuminate the human experience. We commit ourselves to exploring urgent human and social issues of our time, and to merging literature, design, and performance in ways that test the bounds of theatre’s artistic possibilities. We undertake to advance the art of theatre in the service of our community, and aim to extend that service through educational, intercultural, and community engagement programs that harmonize with our artistic mission. FACILITY/ The David Emmes/Martin Benson Theatre Center is a three-theatre complex. Prior to the pandemic, there were six SEASON annual productions on the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, four on the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage, with numerous workshops and theatre conservatory performances held in the 94-seat Nicholas Studio. In addition, the three-play family series, “Theatre for Young Audiences,” produced on the Julianne Argyros Stage. The 20-21 season includes two virtual offerings and a new outdoors initiative, OUTSIDE SCR, which will feature two productions in rotating rep at the Mission San Juan Capistrano in July 2021.

However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).
