The 80-year-old artist was born in Sacramento, California, raised in Hiroshima, Japan, traveled to the U.S. and even cooked for artist Jackson Pollock. But by 2001, Mirikitani was homeless, living on the streets of New York City. As tourists and shoppers hurried past, Mirikitani sat alone on a windy corner in New York’s SoHo, drawing pictures of whimsical cats, bleak internment camps and the angry red flames of the atomic bomb. When local filmmaker Linda Hattendorf stopped to ask about his art, a friendship—detailed in THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI—began that changed both their lives. THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI will have its television premiere on the Emmy® Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens, hosted by Terrence Howard, on Tuesday, May 8 at 10:30 PM (check local listings). In sunshine, rain and snow, Hattendorf returned to document Mirikitani’s drawings, trying to decipher the stories behind them.

    DISCUSSION GUIDE How does the simple act of planting trees lead to winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Ask Wangari Maathai of Kenya. In 1977, she suggested rural women plant trees to address problems stemming from a degraded environment. Under her leadership, their tree-planting grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, defend human rights and promote democracy.

  • Venturing in the Slipstream
    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

  • Analysis of the Independent Television Service's Documentaries, 2007–2016
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 1541–1568 1932–8036/20180005 American Realities on Public Television: Analysis of the Independent Television Service’s Documentaries, 2007–2016 CATY BORUM CHATTOO1 PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE MICHELE ALEXANDER CHANDLER GREEN American University, USA Fifty years after the passage of the Public Broadcasting Act, this study examines the way in which TV documentaries produced by the Independent Television Service (ITVS)—the largest public funder and coproducer of independent documentaries in the U.S. public broadcasting system—represent the America they are mandated to portray. The study examines the geographic, demographic, and topical diversity of ITVS documentaries against U.S. Census and polling data. Using quantitative content analysis of ITVS film archival data, this study of a decade (2007–16) of U.S. public television documentaries (N = 342) shows that the representation of American realities on public TV broadly reflects U.S. Census demographics and Americans’ social concerns, as reflected in a decade (2007–16) of aggregated Gallup monthly “Most Important Problem [Facing the Country Today]” poll data. ITVS-funded filmmakers are disproportionately female and diverse, and they come from 33 states and the District of Columbia. Films portray life in all quadrants of the United States, in both rural and urban communities. These public TV documentaries represent a geographically, racially, and ethnically diverse America. Keywords: public broadcasting, television, diversity, representation, documentary Caty Borum Chattoo: [email protected] Patricia Aufderheide: [email protected] Michele Alexander: [email protected] Chandler Green: [email protected] Date submitted: 2017–07–14 1 We wish to thank and acknowledge Bill Harder, PhD, at American University’s Center for Teaching, Research and Learning, for his assistance with the Gallup “Most Important Problem” data set.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Randall Cole, 415.356.8383, ext 254 [email protected] THREE ITVS FILMS GARNER 2007 PEABODY AWARDS —First-time Wins for Independent Lens series and ITVS International Program— —67th Annual Awards Ceremony to Take Place on June 16, 2008— (San Francisco)—The Independent Television Service (ITVS) announced today that three of its acclaimed films are among the winners of the George Foster Peabody Awards for 2007. The Peabody Awards are the oldest and one of the most prestigious honors in electronic media. The three films being honored this year bring the grand total of ITVS Peabody Awards to 12 since opening its doors 17 years ago. BILLY STRAYHORN: LUSH LIFE and SISTERS IN LAW, both of which aired on the Emmy Award- winning PBS series Independent Lens, and the PBS mini-series CRAFT IN AMERICA: Memory, Landscape and Community were chosen to be among the 35 programs honored with this year’s Peabody Awards. In addition, this year marks the first award to a production funded through ITVS International’s Global Perspectives Project, (SISTERS IN LAW) and the first Peabodys for programs broadcast on Independent Lens. The Peabody website describes CRAFT IN AMERICA as a “three-hour chronicle of America’s rich, ongoing traditions of weaving, quilting, woodworking and other craft art…carefully wrought and as beautifully shot as its subject matter.” In describing BILLY STRAYHORN: LUSH LIFE, the website lauds: “Along with celebrating the work of the often overlooked arranger and composer who was crucial to Duke Ellington’s sound and success, the documentary sensitively explored the homophobia that kept Strayhorn in the shadows.” And finally in praise of SISTERS IN LAW: “…makes viewers flies on the wall of a small-town courthouse in Cameroon overseen by two dynamic, wisecracking, larger-than-life sisters who are helping women stand up to abuse.” The awards will be presented on June 16th at a luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.

  • Punks Don't Know Jack
    Punks Don’t Know Jack This split CD from Cretin Records comes out of the gates with no holds barred punk rock. Defecation Area open the CD swinging with “Generation D.U.M.B.,” which while essentially generic 77’s punk does sound big. They remind me a little of ’90s NYC punks L.E.S. Stitches, who were one damn good band. The most off-putting thing to me about this track is that I’m really sick of punk rockers singing about how everything is dumb. They’re dumb or everyone else but them is dumb. Either way, songs about being dumb are stupid. I know, The Ramones did it with “Pinhead,” but guess what….you are not The Ramones. Defecation Area definitely hit big on the scorching “Slam Dance is Savage” and channel the Beach Boys via Social Distortion on “She Just Wanna Dance.” Defecation Area may mine ground that has been well traveled from the Dead Boys and 2 billion bands since, but they do it better than most! It’s good to see some studio recording finally making their way out for Tony Jones and The Cretin 3. They kick off their half of the disc with “Lady Frankenstein,” which has a strong Cramps undertone. The Cretin 3 essentially merge rockabilly and punk together and sprinkle some horror rock sensibility lyrically. “Bathroom Floor” really isn’t my bag. It doesn’t really rock and is too repetitive and the vocals kind of give me a migraine. Better is “Leather,” which borrows the guitar riff from Cheap Trick’s “He’s a Whore” and uses it to create a catching little ditty.
