AIDS and the Moving Image 2 AIDS & THE MOVING IMAGE 2 Thank you for attending the 2nd annual AIDS & THE MOVING IMAGE exhibit. The range of visitor responses to last year’s exhibit on WORLD AIDS DAY illustrated how effectively moving images convey information and emotion. Whether confronted with offensive talk shows exploiting the AIDS-crisis for ratings, or passionate queer activist works artistically exploring community experiences neglected by mass media, many visitors to the exhibit expressed that the totality of images on display had an unexpected power to provoke, move, outrage. The images in this exhibit are again presented in the hope of raising AIDS awareness and initiating discussion. All of the materials displayed are available for research viewing here on the UCLA campus. Staff from the Archive Research and Study Center (ARSC) and the Instructional Media Library (IML) are on hand to provide reference assistance and information on how to access these collections. You are strongly encouraged to further investigate the issues presented by requesting these titles for individual study. 2 A B O U T T H E C O L L E C T I O N S Instructional Media Library (IML) The Instructional Media Library (IML) is UCLA's central resource for the collection and maintenance of instructional media.

  • Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture
    Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture By Xiaoyu Elena Wang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Professor Shannon C. Stimson Professor Ramona Naddaff Professor Julia Q. Bryan-Wilson Spring 2015 Abstract Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture by Xiaoyu Elena Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Every January and June, the most exclusive and influential sector of the global apparel industry stages a series of runway shows in the high fashion, or, couture capitals of New York, Milan, London and Paris. This dissertation explores the production of material goods and cultural ideals in contemporary couture, drawing on scholarly and anecdotal accounts of the business of couture clothes as well as the business of couture models to understand the disquieting success of marketing luxury goods through bodies that appear to signify both extreme wealth and extreme privation. This dissertation argues that the contemporary couture industry idealizes a mode of violence that is unique in couture’s history. The industry’s shift of emphasis toward the mass market in the late 20th-century entailed divestments in the integrity of garment production and modeling employment. Contemporary couture clothes and models are promoted as high-value objects, belying however a material impoverishment that can be read from the models’ physiques and miens. 1 Table of Contents I.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

Correspondence: António Pais de Lacerda, Servicio de Medicina Intensiva, Hospital de Santa Maria 1649-035 Lisboa (Portugal). e-mail: [email protected] Received 14 July 2006; accepted 24 July 2006 Summary It was 25 years ago, in the summer of 1981, when society as a whole and particularly the scientific community was faced with an unknown disease that came later to be known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Several films have sufficiently reflected the initial fears and uncertainty, the responses of the different social groups, the fight against ignorance, the urge of having access to treatment and the suffering of the infected individuals and their families that were due to this disease. Taking into account that these movies were fil- med when these epidemics took place they can actually be considered as true historical documents that deserve being analysed by the genera- tions to come. Films such as And The Band Played On; Long time Companion; Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt; Les Nuites Fauves; Angels in America; Yesterday and My Brother... Nikhil have marked 25 years of AIDS history that should not be forgotten by the world. Keywords: AIDS, HIV, Antiretrovirals, History of Medicine, Cinema. “This is not a political issue. This is a health issue. This is nate hearts and minds.

She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011.[2][3] Jolie promotes humanitarian causes, and is noted for her work with refugees as a Special Envoy and former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). She has often been cited as the world's "most beautiful" woman, a title for which she has received substantial media attention.[4][5][6][7] Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in Lookin' to Get Out (1982), but her film career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in the cyber- thrillerHackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed biographical television films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999).

  • Modeling Tips
    Modeling Tips: Expert Modeling Advice “Not one top model I’ve worked with in 20 years went to modeling school.”1 — Susan Wehmann, Wehmann Agency “The best advice I can give is to check out an agency before going for an interview, and during the interview ask who their major clients are and what their success rate is in placing children in jobs.”2 — Elisabeth Smith, Elisabeth Smith Model Agency (Child Model Agent since 1960) “You never write the agency a check for your marketing materials, pictures, etc.”3 — Dominick Palazzo, IMI Talent Management “Children under 5 don’t need professional photographs to get started in modeling, according to a 40-page report on modeling scams issued by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs. Snapshots also suffice for adult models at “open calls” held by legitimate modeling agencies, during which anyone is able to walk in and hear an honest evaluation of his or her modeling potential.”4 — Kiplinger’s Personal Finance “They come to me after spending two, three, four thousand dollars on classes, pictures and attending conventions and expect me to take them on, but I can tell right away that there’s no potential.”5 — Liz Bell, Liz Bell Agency “The Association of Model Agents has a list of reputable agents. Check their websites out, never go to a private address and never pay money upfront.”6 — Sarah Doukas, Managing Director, Storm Model Management “Another common scheme comes from firms that charge people hundreds or even thousands of dollars to be listed in their “talent directories,” which are then mailed to agents and producers.
