How the Brain Sees the Light Sunday, March 2, 2014 | 2 pm Brown Auditorium | Free and open to the public Our view of the world is a subjective construction of the mind, and photographs provide a glimpse of an artist's perception of a subject. In this talk, Marvin M. Chun, professor of psychology, cognitive science, and neurobiology at Yale University, compares how photography and brain imaging allows us to understand how people see the surrounding world. Chun discusses the past two decades of scientific research: how findings have not only given us an unprecedented understanding of human vision, but also how advanced brain imaging studies can even decode (coarsely) what people are viewing or dreaming. Complements the exhibition See the Light—Photography, Perception, Cognition: The Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection . The Art of the Future: It ō Jakuch ū's Colorful Realm Saturday, March 8, 2014 | 2 pm Brown Auditorium | Free and open to the public The past 20 years have witnessed a meteoric rise in the acclaim of the painter It ō Jakuch ū (Japan, 1716– 1800), owed in no small part to the Price Collection which includes many important works by the artist. Yukio Lippit, Harris K. Weston Associate Professor of the Humanities and professor of history of art and architecture at Harvard University, explores the remarkable artistry of Jakuch ū through his celebrated set of Page 1 33 nature scrolls, Colorful Realm of Living Beings , widely believed to be the greatest work of bird-and-flower painting in Japan.

Conversation: Aesthetics and the Brain Tuesday, March 18, 2014 | 7 pm Brown Auditorium | Free and open to the public How does the brain process visual information? In what ways do artists drive the mechanics of vision? How can neuroscience help us to understand ways the brain forms aesthetic judgments? Join Professors Irving Beiderman and Pietro Perona for a conversation about vision, aesthetics, and the brain. Biederman is the Harold W. Dornsife Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Southern California, and Perona is the Allen E. Puckett Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computation and Neural Systems at Caltech. This Page 2 conversation complements the exhibition See the Light—Photography, Perception, Cognition: The Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection . The Least Important Things March 27, 28, 29 | 8 pm Los Angeles Times Central Court | Free, tickets required | Tickets: available for pick-up at Ticket Office one hour before performance Los Angeles–based artist Emily Mast often works in projects that celebrate intersections between art, dance, and theater. For The Least Important Things , Mast selected a diverse range of works by Joan Brossa (1919–1998) that were written with the intention of being staged. Brossa was a Catalan poet, playwright, graphic designer, and visual artist who made work about the limitations of language and its material nature. His “stage poetry” embraced incoherence, the everyday, and popular forms of entertainment such as magic, cabaret, and comedy routines. The Least Important Things assumes the form of a procession of free-standing theatrical vignettes which unfold in different venues throughout LACMA's campus. Audience members will be offered hints and clues to direct their experience of the work. The performance starts on the Los Angeles Times Central Court, but takes visitors through different locations of the museum campus. The performances are staged in intermediate spaces that reflect Brossa and Mast’s interest in the undefined. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress warmly, as most of the performance takes place outdoors and requires walking and stair climbing. MUSIC Art & Music Eclectic and cutting-edge, LACMA’s Art & Music concert series, first-place winner of the ASCAP & Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music, presents world-renowned performers and composers celebrating the museum’s visiting exhibitions and permanent collection.

  • A Propósito De La Filosofía Del Cine Como Educación De Adultos: La Lógica Del Matrimonio Frente Al Absurdo En La Filmografía De Gregory La Cava Hasta 1933
    A PROPÓSITO DE LA FILOSOFÍA DEL CINE COMO EDUCACIÓN DE ADULTOS: LA LÓGICA DEL MATRIMONIO FRENTE AL ABSURDO EN LA FILMOGRAFÍA DE GREGORY LA CAVA HASTA 1933 José Alfredo Peris Cancioa Fechas de recepción y aceptación: 2 de junio de 2015, 8 de julio de 2015 Resumen: Desde una concepción de la filosofía del cine como educación de adultos, se puede proponer que la aportación más genuina de la filmografía de La Cava a la expresión de la interrelación entre matrimonio y crisis económica se encuentra en la figura de los antihéroes. Con estos personajes, La Cava plantea tanto la necesidad que experimenta el ser humano de las sociedades industriales de remediar la angustia que le produce su propia debilidad y vulnerabilidad, como la necesidad de entablar relaciones de ayuda. Desde su participación en el cine de animación, así como en sus películas de cine mudo y en sus películas habladas, los protagonistas superan sus propias limitaciones gracias a relaciones de confianza con los demás, de las que el matrimonio igualitario y de mutua ayuda entre el varón y la mujer es el modelo más pleno. Palabras clave: matrimonio, confianza, antihéroes, vulnerabilidad, igualdad y com- plementariedad entre varón y mujer, ayuda, filosofía del cine, educación de adultos. Abstract: From a conception of philosophy of films education of grownups, it can be proposed that the most genuine contribution of the films of La Cava to the expression of the interrelation between marriage and economic crisis is found in the figure of the anti-heroes. With these characters La Cava presents both the need experienced by peo- ple in industrial societies to remedy the distress caused by his own weakness and vulner- a Facultad de Filosofía, Antropología y Trabajo Social, Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir.

  • Bonnie and Clyde and the Sixties Bruce Campbell
    “Something’s happening here”: Bonnie and Clyde and the Sixties Bruce Campbell Something’s happening here What it is ain’t exactly clear (Buffalo Springfield) It was a tumultuous time; 1967, the Age of Aquarius, the time of Flower Power, free love, and hippies.1 There were “Be-Ins” on both coasts. In the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco, there was a celebration called the “Summer of Love,” and a top-ten song advised “if you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair” (McKenzie). Young people were encouraged to “turn on, tune in, drop out,” and the nation suddenly learned about LSD.2 A generation just coming of age called for “peace and love.” Others wanted quicker, more violent change. Young men were being sent to Vietnam to fight what many considered an unjust war. Figures from the US National Archives show that more than eleven thousand young Americans died in Vietnam in 1967. The next year, the number would rise to more than eighteen thousand. The war was costing taxpayers billions of dollars a year, and each month, thousands of young men were being drafted into military service.3 When there were demonstrations against the draft and the war, protestors were met by police and National Guard troops. Groups like the Weathermen began using bombs to strike at “the system.”4 Blacks seeking equality grew frustrated with the slow progress of Martin Luther King’s nonviolent approach to achieving racial equality. In the summer of 1967, race riots plagued Newark, Detroit, and other cities.

  • The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and Its American Legacy
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 3 (2010) 109–120 The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and its American legacy Jacqui Miller Liverpool Hope University (United Kingdom) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The French New Wave was an essentially pan-continental cinema. It was influenced both by American gangster films and French noirs, and in turn was one of the principal influences on the New Hollywood, or Hollywood renaissance, the uniquely creative period of American filmmaking running approximately from 1967–1980. This article will examine this cultural exchange and enduring cinematic legacy taking as its central intertext Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai (1967). Some consideration will be made of its precursors such as This Gun for Hire (Frank Tuttle, 1942) and Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959) but the main emphasis will be the references made to Le Samourai throughout the New Hollywood in films such as The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971), The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) and American Gigolo (Paul Schrader, 1980). The article will suggest that these films should not be analyzed as isolated texts but rather as composite elements within a super-text and that cross-referential study reveals the incremental layers of resonance each film’s reciprocity brings. This thesis will be explored through recurring themes such as surveillance and alienation expressed in parallel scenes, for example the subway chases in Le Samourai and The French Connection, and the protagonist’s apartment in Le Samourai, The Conversation and American Gigolo. A recent review of a Michael Moorcock novel described his work as “so rich, each work he produces forms part of a complex echo chamber, singing beautifully into both the past and future of his own mythologies” (Warner 2009).

Suddenly, a flood of old feelings rush back to her: she's met the love of her life. Again. The film is a romantic story filled with humor, surprise, and reflections on the mystery of love surrounding us. Bening and Harris star, with an important supporting turn from Robin Williams as Nikki's confidante and would-be lover. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION LABORS OF LOVE How far would you go, for a second chance? How much would you risk to resurrect your first love? That’s the question that confronts Nikki. Her happily married life is shattered when her husband Garrett suddenly drowns during a Mexican vacation. As years pass and Nikki adjusts to raising their teenage daughter on her own, Nikki gradually comes to grips with her loss… or does she? A chance visit to an art museum affords her the opportunity to see Tom, a local art teacher, frustrated painter—and the perfect double of Nikki’s beloved Garrett, now dead for five years.

  • EDITORIAL Screenwriters James Schamus, Michael France and John Turman CA 90049 (310) 447-2080 Were Thinking Is Unclear
    screenwritersmonthly.com | Screenwriter’s Monthly Give ‘em some credit! Johnny Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is amazing. As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first. Sure, some critics mentioned the writers when they declared the film "cliché" and attacked it. Since the previous Walt Disney Los Angeles film based on one of its theme park attractions was the unbear- able The Country Bears, Pirates of the Caribbean is surprisingly Above The Fold 370 N.

Recently the USA Today ran an article asking, basically, “What’s wrong with Hollywood?” Blockbusters are failing because Above The Fold 1257 3rd St. Promenade Santa Monica, CA attendance is down 3.3% from last year. It’s anyone’s guess why 90401 (310) 393-2690 this is happening, and frankly, it doesn’t matter, because next year the industry will be back in full force with the same schlep of Above The Fold 226 N.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.
