by Armen H’Akopian and Dmitry Tarkhov LAST CALL FOR LOVE AND HATE Present day. A comet approaches the Earth, carrying the ultimate destruction. The government is disbanded, there is no communication or transport. The world is in chaos. This does not stop the main characters, Anna and Andrei, a couple that lives in a provincial town, from waiting their sons, who had left the town nine years ago, to come back. They dream to reunite the family for this last event. The kids do come, but the family reunion makes the life of the couple much harder. The comet is getting closer, and everybody needs to speak out everything they did not say ear- lier. However, the most important words bring out grievances accumulated over the years, hidden desires, skeletons in the cupboard; the characters cannot even gather around the festive table. Will they manage to stay a family or did the apocalypse happen long before the coming of the comet? https://vimeo.com/313282369 RUSSIA 2021 RUSSIAN PREMIERE MARKET SCREENING HOT 1 MARCHÉ DU FILM SOCIAL THRILLER 97 min THE SEED directed by Mia Maariel Meyer with Hanno Koffl er ESCAPE THE HAMSTER WHEEL AND YOU GET TO EXHALE Rainer toils by the sweat of his brow on a building site.

  • DISNEYLAND Grand Opening on 7/17/1955 the Happiest Place on Earth Wasn't Anything of the Sort for 13 Months of Pandemic Closure
    Monday, July 19, 2021 | No. 177 Film Flashback…DISNEYLAND Grand Opening on 7/17/1955 The Happiest Place on Earth wasn't anything of the sort for 13 months of pandemic closure. But, happily, Disneyland began coming back to life in late April and by June 15 wasn't facing any capacity restrictions. Now it's celebrating the 66th anniversary of its Grand Opening July 17, 1955. To help finance Disneyland's construction in Anaheim, Calif., which began July 16, 1954, Walt Disney struck a deal with the then fledgling ABC-TV Network to produce the legendary DISNEYLAND series. For helping Walt raise the $17M he needed -- about $135M today -- ABC also got the right to broadcast the opening day events. Originally, July 17 was just an International Press Preview and July 18 was to be the official launch. But July 17's been remembered over the years as the Big Day thanks to ABC's live coverage -- despite things not having gone well with the show hosted by Walt's Hollywood pals Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings & Ronald Reagan. Live TV was in its infancy then and the miles of camera cables it used had people tripping all over the park. In Frontierland, a camera caught Cummings kissing a dancer. Walt was reading a plaque in Tomorrowland on camera when a technician started talking to him, causing Walt to stop and start again from the beginning. Over in Fantasyland, Linkletter sent the coverage back to Cummings on a pirate ship, but Bob wasn't ready, so he sent it right back to Art, who no longer had his microphone.

  • Contrasting "Infernal Affairs" Hong Kong and "The Departed" Hollywood
    Contrasting "Infernal Affairs" Hong Kong and "The Departed" Hollywood By Prof. Dr. SZE, Man Hung, Stephen and SHEN, Yiting (Graduate Student) Dept. of Film and TV Production, Kushan University of Technology, Tainan County, Taiwan) (Abstract) Film noir is a classical genre of Hollywood. It has its own special elements of evolution and mode of manifestation. It has not been a genre that could be found in Hong Kong for a long time. This article begins with the tracing of the reasons for the lack of film noir in Hong Kong, and its gradual development till the advent of "Infernal Affairs"(2002), which was adopted by Hollywood and resulted in the adapted "The Departed"(2006). Although the basic structure of the plot in both films is based on the interaction and events faced by the two protagonists, and thus bringing out the predicament and helplessness of the two under-covers from both the police and the underworld, the two films are different because of the different socio-cultural contexts, the studio systems of production and the ideas of artistic creativity. After investigating the different approaches of P. 1 Hong Kong and Hollywood studio systems, this article will also then analyze and contrast the two films, binging out their different modes of manifestation, characteristics, character portrayal, cinematic ideas social and artistic values. It will account for the mutation of one text in the two different social and cultural contexts of film production and audience.

That medicine, BiDil®, was a heart failure medication that set a precedent for being the first approved race based drug for African Americans. Though BiDil®, was the first race specific medicine, racialized bodies have been used all throughout history to advance medical knowledge. The framework for race, history, and racialized drugs was so multi- tiered; it could not be conceptualized from a single perspective. For this reason, this study examines racialized medicine through performance, history, and discourse analysis. The focus of this work aimed to inform and build on a new foundation for social inquiry—using a history film performance to elevate knowledge about race based medicines.

    Copyright by Alexander Joseph Brannan 2021 The Thesis Committee for Alexander Joseph Brannan Certifies that this is the approved version of the following Thesis: Artful Scares: A24 and the Elevated Horror Cycle APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Thomas Schatz, Supervisor Alisa Perren Artful Scares: A24 and the Elevated Horror Cycle by Alexander Joseph Brannan Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2021 Acknowledgements This project would not have been completed were it not for the aid and support of a number of fine folks. First and foremost, my committee members Thomas Schatz and Alisa Perren, who with incisive notes have molded my disparate web of ideas into a legible, linear thesis. My fellow graduate students, who have kept me sane during the COVID-19 pandemic with virtual happy hours and (socially distant) meetups in the park serving as brief respites from the most trying of academic years. In addition, I am grateful to the University of Texas at Austin and the department of Radio-Television-Film in the Moody College of Communications for all of the resources and opportunities they have provided to me. Finally, my parents, who have enough pride on my behalf to trump my doubts. Here’s hoping they don’t find these chapters too mind-numbingly dull.

  • Full Press Release
    2018-19 SEASON PREVIEW OF IMTA ALUMS ON THE SMALL SCREEN IMTA Press Release September 6, 2018 Each fall as a new television season begins, it is gratifying to note the IMTA alumni who add to their résumés with work on “television.” In the 21st Century, “television” is not just a “smart” TV, but any portable device or computer with internet access. Networks and cable channels produce their own line-up of original shows and films, as do streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu…and soon, Apple TV. YouTube and Vimeo serve as platforms for independent filmmakers and writers to release original series and films. All of these outlets provide unlimited—and ongoing—possibilities for IMTA alumni to appear on “the small screen” by making their full catalog of shows, new and old, available on-line so that they may be viewed year-round, 24-7. Below are just a few of the IMTA alumni working on network, cable or web series, appearing on returning or new series in regular or recurring roles, announced guest-starring appearances, and lead or supporting roles in TV movies and mini-series. Our apologies for any names missing. IMTA is equally proud of all of the alumni working in the entertainment industry and we try to keep track of as many as we can. Please let us know of castings, guest appearances and other successes of IMTA alums. IMTA alum Amy Acker returns for the second season of the FOX series “The Gifted” on September 25. The action-adventure family drama from Marvel tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers.

    Classified by Genre: Rhetorical Genrefication in Cinema By © 2019 Carl Joseph Swanson M.A., Saint Louis University, 2013 B.L.S., University of Missouri-St. Louis, 2010 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Catherine Preston Co-Chair: Joshua Miner Michael Baskett Ron Wilson Amy Devitt Date Defended: 26 April 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Carl Joseph Swanson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Classified by Genre: Rhetorical Genrefication in Cinema Chair: Catherine Preston Co-Chair: Joshua Miner Date Approved: 26 April 2019 iii Abstract This dissertation argues for a rethinking and expansion of film genre theory. As the variety of media exhibition platforms expands and as discourse about films permeates a greater number of communication media, the use of generic terms has never been more multiform or observable. Fundamental problems in the very conception of film genre have yet to be addressed adequately, and film genre study has carried on despite its untenable theoretical footing. Synthesizing pragmatic genre theory, constructivist film theory, Bourdieusian fan studies, and rhetorical genre studies, the dissertation aims to work through the radical implications of pragmatic genre theory and account for genres role in interpretation, evaluation, and rhetorical framing as part of broader, recurring social activities. This model rejects textualist and realist foundations for film genre; only pragmatic genre use can serve as a foundation for understanding film genres. From this perspective, the concept of genre is reconstructed according to its interpretive and rhetorical functions rather than a priori assumptions about the text or transtextual structures.

  • February/March 2020 at BAM
    February/March 2020 at BAM Feb 7—20 Cane River (1982) Directed by Horace Jenkins Jenkins’ only feature before his untimely death at age 42, this long-lost gem of black independent cinema weds pastoral imagery, frothy romance, and keen social commentary on colorism, the legacy of slavery, and African-American land loss in Louisiana, all with a deft, deceptively light touch. Painstakingly restored by IndieCollect from a negative that resurfaced at the decommissioned film lab DuArt in 2014, Cane River is presented in a gleaming new 4K restoration. Exclusive New York run. Feb 14—17 Long Weekend of Love Cane River continues, alongside other great movie romances over Valentine’s Day weekend, including George Cukor’s screwball classic The Philadelphia Story (1940); Donna Deitch’s achingly romantic, Western-set lesbian romance Desert Hearts (1985); a 20th anniversary screening of Gina Prince- Bythewood’s beloved romantic drama Love & Basketball (2000); Andrew Haigh’s intimately observed portrait of two men’s brief romantic idyll Weekend (2011); Richard Linklater’s full trilogy of Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), and Before Midnight (2013); and Rose Troche’s lo-fi time capsule of lesbian love and friendship Go Fish (1994). Feb 22 Beyond the Canon: The Hitch-Hiker (1953) + Badlands (1973) Beyond the Canon returns to question and expand cinema’s traditional canon—which has historically skewed toward lionizing the white, male auteur—by pairing one well-known, highly regarded “canonized” film with a thematically or stylistically related work that is equally brilliant, but less well-known—and, most importantly, made by a filmmaker traditionally excluded from discussions of the cinematic canon.
