Pictures, then a small, struggling studio, began a partnership with the Vitaphone Corporation to use its sound-on-disc technology to produce films with synchronized playback of sound with visual images. WB made a series of one-reel sound short films to demonstrate (Click to Play) the technology, playing them before other features. Audiences responded so enthusiastically that Warner Bros. was convinced to bet big on talking motion pictures as the next big thing in movies. Their first feature-length film to use the Vitaphone system was The Jazz Singer, which premiered at Warners’ Theatre in New York on October 6, 1928. It starred Al Jolson, a famous singer and Broadway star of the day. The film included two short scenes in which Jolson’s spoken word was synchronized to the picture, delivering life-like dialog in real-time that thrilled movie goers, comparable to the most immersive, multi-sensory special effects in today’s cinema.

  • Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No
    For Exhibitors September 21, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 135 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising We celebrate the remarkable career of actress Frances McDormand, who has delighted audiences for 35 years with her portrayals of strong-willed and colorful heroines. Her debut to feature film was in 1984 in Blood Simple, directed by brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. Joel and Frances met in 1983 during her audition for the film, became a couple and married the next year. McDormand also starred in the Coen Brothers’ comedies Raising Arizona (1987) and Fargo (1996), in which she played a very pregnant detective, Marge Gunderson, with an unforgettable Norwegian-American accent. McDormand has earned critical acclaim throughout her long and prolific career for her performances in film and television and on stage. In fact, she is one of only 24 actors to have won Academy, Emmy and Tony Blood Simple Awards, a feat known as the Triple Crown of Acting. Her most recent role is in Chole Zhao’s Nomadland, about a (1984) woman in her 60’s who sets off in a van to wander through the American West, a modern-day nomad. The film and McDormand’s performance have emerged as darlings of the 2020 International Film Festival circuit. Nomadland is being distributed by Searchlight Pictures and opens in theatres nationwide on 12/2. “I'm a character actress, plain and simple...Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.” – Frances McDormand Three Billboards

    For Exhibitors October 12, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 138 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising Sparked by this year’s renewed interest in independent distributors and genre films, we celebrate the creativity of American International Pictures, the pioneer of mass-production, low-budget film making. AIP was founded in 1954 as American Releasing Corporation (ARC) by Samuel Arkoff, an entertainment lawyer, and James Nicholson, a former sales manager for Realart Pictures. They soon expanded into production so they could take full control of their product, both creatively and financially. AIP developed a checklist of creative elements to ensure a film’s appeal to their target youth audience, largely overlooked by studios of the day. Their ARKOFF formula, named after the founder, included these elements: Action, Revolution, Killing, Oratory, Fantasy and Fornication. AIP would frequently bundle multiple pictures to play as double features at the nearly 4000 drive-ins (Click to Play) operating in the US in the 50’s and 60’s. One of AIP’s famously prolific and successful directors, was Roger Corman, "The Pope of Pop Cinema", who established a cult following for himself and AIP through his adaptions of Edgar Allen Poe tales as horror films. Famously, AIP’s new project development began by creating the film’s title and movie poster, which was then market-tested to confirm interest before the screenwriter, director and cast were hired. Today’s independent producers have many lessons they can learn from the film entrepreneurs

  • Zahraniční Tituly V České Kinodistribuci V Roce 2020
    Úvod Kompilací Zahraniční filmy v české kinodistribuci 2020 předkládá Národní filmový archiv široké veřejnosti přehled všech zahraničních audiovizuálních děl, která v období od 1. ledna do 31. prosince 2020 byla v premiéře uvedena distribučními společnostmi v kinech na území České republiky. Jednotlivé tituly byly zpracovány na základně přístupných údajů Unie filmových distributorů a samotných distribučních společností. Získaná data byla revidována, zpřesňována, ověřována a doplňována podle zákonné oznamovací povinnosti (zákon o audiovizi číslo 496/2012 Sb. s účinností od 1. ledna 2013), úvodních a závěrečných filmových titulků, tisku, zahraničních internetových databází a dalších relevantních materiálů, pramenů a zdrojů. Po úvodním přehledu všech sto šestnácti v kinodistribuci nasazených filmů (pokud není uvedeno jinak, jde o dlouhometrážní díla) následuje hlavní část, abecedně seřazený soupis snímků v podobě hesel s filmografickými, technickými, produkčními a distribučními údaji a s informativními texty. V závěru publikace je přehled distribuovaných filmů seřazený chronologicky podle data české premiéry, dále podle země původu, podle distribučních společností. A zvláštní přehled tvoří filmy, které byly v kinech uvedeny v národní úpravě – v dabované verzi (zbylým snímkům bylo zpravidla ponecháno původní znění a byly opatřeny českými podtitulky). V jednotlivých seznamech jsou dále vedeny údaje, zda se jedná o součást pásma, obnovenou premiéru, film krátkometrážní či středometrážní a u koprodukčních snímků jsou zmíněny rovněž všechny zúčastněné země. Pro úplnost připojujeme taktéž soupis českých a českých koprodukčních snímků uvedených ve sledovaném roce v tuzemské kinodistribuci. Jejich podrobné údaje jsou k dohledání rovněž v internetové databázi Filmový přehled (www.filmovyprehled.cz). Výjimečný distribuční rok 2020 v českých kinech nelze – ať již celkovým množstvím filmových premiér, počtem projekcí, či jejich návštěvností – porovnávat s předcházejícími (a zřejmě ani s následujícími) lety.

  • Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No
    For Exhibitors June 29, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 123 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising We salute Kings Row (1942), one of the finest films of the 1940’s. It stars Ronald Regan as a once- wealthy but suddenly broke orphan Drake McHugh, Betty Field as Cassandra Tower with Claude Raines as her father Dr. Alexander Tower and Charles Coburn as the jealous and sadistic Dr. Henry Gordon. The film was based on Harry Bellamann's shocking and controversial novel, depicting violence and dysfunction in a small Midwestern town. While Peyton Place may be better known today for its portrayal of dark secrets under the surface of small-town life, Kings Row paved the way for the genre. It is widely regarded as Regan’s finest performance in film, with Regan himself stating that Kings Row made him a star. The score was written by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, a famous Austrian Jewish composer who left pre-war Vienna in 1934 and moved to Los Angeles, where his career flourished as he became one of the pre-eminent film composers of Hollywood’s Golden Age. John Williams has cited Korngold as (Click to Play) (Click to Play) his inspiration when scoring Star Wars, evident in the famous opening theme. “Where’s the rest of me?“ – Ronald Regan as Drake McHugh Notable Industry News (6/22-28) What the Pandemic has Done to Hollywood’s Studio Wars (The Observer) The landscape of film distribution has been turned upside down by the closure of theatres worldwide in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nearly 40 years ago, a small group of independent film production and sales companies had a vision of the film industry working together for the betterment of the whole. They saw the need for a Hollywood-based international marketplace for film. The American Film Market (AFM) was born out of this entrepreneurial spirit and collaboration of competitors. The first AFM in 1981 was attended by 34 sales companies and hundreds of buyers from all over the world. The AFM was an immediate success, fostering an environment where film financing and buyer discovery could flourish. It quickly became a required stop on the annual calendar of buyers, sellers, and producers worldwide. Today, the AFM is all-inclusive, drawing together the global industry – an amalgamation of film professionals from every corner of the world. It is the destination for all players in the industry to meet face-to-face, do business, and have thoughtful conversations about new films and the everchanging marketplace. The AFM is produced by the Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA), the trade association that unites Independents around the world and ensures that they are well represented across all issues that impact the independent business. IFTA’s AFM is operated by the industry, for the industry – no other market has this history or connection.

    For Exhibitors May June 1, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 119 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising A very happy 90th birthday to Clint Eastwood, born on 5/31/1930. Over a career spanning six decades, Eastwood has starred in and directed a bounty of Hollywood’s most memorable films. He first rose to fame in the 1960’s starring as “The Man with No Name” in a trilogy of Sergio Leone-directed Spaghetti Westerns, most notably The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966) which is considered by many as the pinnacle of the genre. In the 1970’s Eastwood played Detective Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry cop vigilante series, which turned him into household name and cultural meme – “Go ahead, make my day.” In his early 40’s, Eastwood began working as a filmmaker and developed his following for strong character portrayals. He returned to Westerns with Pale Rider (1985) and Unforgiven (1992), The Good, the Bad and earning him his first Oscars (for Best Director and Best Picture). Eastwood’s work has the Ugly (1966) continued to evolve in the decades since, with acclaimed films including Mystic River (2003), Million Dollar Baby (2004), Gran Torino (2008) and American Sniper (2014). On the (Click to Play and Listen occasion of receiving a National Medal of Arts award, his films were praised as "essays in to the Fantastic Score individuality, hard truths and the essence of what it means to be American." by Ennio Morricone) Million Dollar Baby (2005) “Respect your efforts, respect yourself.

    For Exhibitors October 19, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 139 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising As the events of 2020 are squeezing the film industry and forcing a reckoning with its future, we look back at the invention of motion picture technology and the intense in-fighting that played out during the birth of the movie business. In 1891, Thomas Edison and his laboratory assistant William Dickson gave the first public demonstration of their Kinetoscope, a forerunner of the motion picture projector. Edison’s Kinetoscope was a single-person viewing kiosk that presented motion pictures through a peephole. It used rotating sprockets to move a perforated film strip over a light source at a constant rate. The film reel presented a sequence of images in frames. As the film passed over the light source, Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope a shutter would open and close in rapid succession, illuminating each image to create the illusion of movement. While the technology was interesting, Edison understood that the money would come from distributing films to a public who would pay to see it. Edison dug in to patent suits and other hard-knuckle business tactics in an attempt to control the developing business. In order to escape Edison’s reach, Carl Laemmle and other early pioneers of the movie business relocated west, settling eventually in Los Angeles where the weather was near-perfect all year. Founded as Laemmle Film Service, his company eventually was renamed Universal Pictures, which is still making news for its impact on film distribution. "I have seen many depressions in business.
