  • For Release: on Approval Motion Picture Sound Editors to Honor
    For Release: On Approval Motion Picture Sound Editors to Honor George Miller with Filmmaker Award 68th MPSE Golden Reel Awards to be held as a global, virtual event on April 16th Studio City, California – February 10, 2021 – The Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) will honor Academy Award-winner George Miller with its annual Filmmaker Award. The Australian writer, director and producer is responsible for some of the most successful and beloved films of recent decades including Mad Max, Mad Max 2: Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Mad Max: Fury Road. In 2007, he won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for the smash hit Happy Feet. He also earned Oscar nominations for Babe and Lorenzo’s Oil. Miller will be presented with the MPSE FilmmaKer Award at the 68th MPSE Golden Reel Awards, set for April 16th as an international virtual event. Miller is being honored for a career noteworthy for its incredibly broad scope and consistent excellence. “George Miller redefined the action genre through his Mad Max films, and he has been just as successful in bringing us such wonderfully different films as The Witches of Eastwick, Lorenzo’s Oil, Babe and Happy Feet,” said MPSE President MarK Lanza. “He represents the art of filmmaking at its best. We are proud to present him with MPSE’s highest honor.” Miller called the award “a lovely thing,” adding, “It’s a big pat on the back. I was originally drawn to film through the visual sense, but I learned to recognize sound, emphatically, as integral to the apprehension of the story.

  • Persistence of the Mythic Hero in American Cinema
    Colloquium: A Journal of the Arts Department (ISSN 2350-1251), Volume 5, 2018 URL of the Issue: http://colloquium.bescollege.net/V5 PDF URL: http://colloquium.bescollege.net/V5/v502.pdf Tales of violence and revival: Persistence of the mythic hero in American cinema Arup Ratan Samajdar College Whole Time Lecturer, Department of Film Studies, The Bhawanipur Education Society College When James Mangold’s Logan released in 2017, it was a highly anticipated superhero film.1 While the film was all set to become a landmark in the superhero genre, as soon as it opened in theatres, fans and critics immediately noted how far removed the film was from the usual superhero fanfare and how closely it resonated with westerns. In one of the earliest reviews, Peter Travers noted, “Logan has the shape of a classic western. Shane is directly referenced in one scene and the elegiac tone of the film recalls Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning Unforgiven”.2 While Travers might have just scratched the surface, given the limited scope and immediacy of a review, Logan shares far deeper bonds with westerns than just familiar plotlines and iconographies. To understand the structural similarities which impart the film its identity as a western, one must go back to the most fundamental facets of the genre, namely the frontier myth and the notion of the mythic hero and address one of the foremost preoccupations of westerns, idea of masculinity. American West(ern): From history to myth "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Ford, 1962) The western has not only been the most distinctive genre in the American studio system but also a quintessential American institution.

    Mad Max: Affine Spline Insights into Deep Learning RANDALL BALESTRIERO, RICHARD BARANIUK Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA [email protected], [email protected] We build a rigorous bridge between deep networks (DNs) and approximation theory via spline functions and operators. Our key result is that a large class of DNs can be written as a composition of max- affine spline operators (MASOs), which provide a powerful portal through which to view and analyze their inner workings. For instance, conditioned on the input signal, the output of a MASO DN can be written as a simple affine transformation of the input. This implies that a DN constructs a set of signal- dependent, class-specific templates against which the signal is compared via a simple inner product; we explore the links to the classical theory of optimal classification via matched filters and the effects of data memorization. Going further, we propose a simple penalty term that can be added to the cost function of any DN learning algorithm to force the templates to be orthogonal with each other; this leads to significantly improved classification performance and reduced overfitting with no change to the DN architecture. The spline partition of the input signal space that is implicitly induced by a MASO directly links DNs to the theory of vector quantization (VQ) and K-means clustering, which opens up new geometric avenue to study how DNs organize signals in a hierarchical fashion. To validate the utility of the VQ interpretation, we develop and validate a new distance metric for signals and images that quantifies the difference between their VQ encodings.

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

  • The Aging Hero in No Country for Old Men and Logan
    Masked Paradigms No. 3 - Year 10 06/2020 - LC.2 Ljubica Matek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia - Zvonimir Prtenjača, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia No Country for Old X-Men: The Aging Hero in No Country for Old Men and Logan Abstract The American Western is imbued with a particular elasticity, which allowed it to stay relevant for decades. One of the recent developments in the genre seems to be its focus on the aging frontiersman – a hero past its prime. A faithful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel, the Coen brothers’ eponymous film No Country for Old Men (2007), departs from the traditional Western by outlining an aging lawman, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell, struggling to live up to his role. Similarly, James Mangold’s Logan (2017) forces the titular pop-cultural superhero icon to endure the deconstruction of its archetypal alter ego, the Wolverine. The underlying themes of the two films intersect, representing their aging protagonists both as evocations of their own previous, abler selves, and as elderly frontiersmen in a world with hardly any space for aged (super)heroes. Their fluctuating identities challenge the traditional, idealistic representations of patriarchal Western heroes by introducing a more realistic and complex concept of an aging hero both into the universe of the neo-Western genre and into popular culture. Keywords: No Country for Old Men, Logan, neo-Western, frontiersman, hero, superhero aging That is no country for old men … An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick … (Yeats 1, 9-10) ISSN 1847-7755; doi: 10.15291/sic/3.10.lc.2 1 Masked Paradigms No.

  • Unesco Creative Cities Membership Monitoring Report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT
    unesco creative cities membership monitoring report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION. CONTRIBUTION TO THE NETWORK’S GLOBAL MANAGEMENT. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED AT LOCAL LEVEL. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED THROUGH INTER-CITY COOPERATION. PROPOSED ACTION PLAN. ANGELINA JOLIE AT THE SYDNEY PREMIER OF UNBROKEN CONTENTS. 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT With support from the NSW Government, the City of Sydney, and key screen industry stakeholders, Sydney was awarded the UNESCO City of Film designation in December 2010. The existing screen infrastructure in Sydney and the diversity and value of film culture of Sydney was a major reason for the success of Sydney’s bid. It placed Sydney as the second City of Film in the UCCN. As the specialist agency in screen matters, management of the status of the City of Film was given to the former agency Screen NSW, with the agreement of the City of Sydney and the support of the NSW Government and former Minister for the Arts. The UNESCO Creative City designation is consistent with the aims of the NSW Creative Industries Action Plan, which seeks to ensure that NSW, through Sydney, is recognised as a global creative centre and leader in creative industries. Sydney and its surrounds continue to be the location for high levels of both international and local production and post-production, as well as many Australian TV dramas. NSW is the dominant state for screen production in Australia with more than 60% of Australian production and post-production businesses located in here. With a suite of funding opportunities for the professional production sector, from early development to production finance and a range of industry development programs, the organization supports the continued growth and development of a creative sector that returns significant economic benefits, large numbers of jobs and high cultural and social returns to the community.
