It has been accepted for inclusion in Cinesthesia by an authorized editor of ScholarWorks@GVSU. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Macciomei: Co-optation of the American Dream Independent cinema has been an aspect of the American film industry since the inception of the art form itself. The aspects and perceptions of independent film have altered drastically over the years, but in general it can be used to describe American films produced and distributed outside of the Hollywood major studio system. But as American film history has revealed time and time again, independent studios always struggle to maintain their freedom from the Hollywood industrial complex. American independent cinema has been heavily integrated with major Hollywood studios who have attempted to tap into the niche markets present in filmgoers searching for theatrical experiences outside of the mainstream. From this, we can say that the American independent film industry has a long history of co-optation, acquisition, and the stifling of competition from the major film studios present in Hollywood, all of whom pose a threat to the autonomy that is sought after in these markets by filmmakers and film audiences.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

    For Exhibitors October 26, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 140 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising In 1926, Warner Bros. 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.

LEONARD, Plaintiffs, against ARTISAN ENTERTAINMENT, INC., ARTISAN PICTURES INC, Defendants. 00 Civ. 8326 (JGK). 2002 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 5930. April 3, 2002, Decided. April 5, 2002, Filed. Counsel: For plaintiffs: Philip R. Hoffman, Pryor, Cashman, Sherman & Flynn, New York, New York. For defendants: Andrew J. Frack-man, O’Melveny & Myers, New York, New York. Before John G. Koeltl, United States District Judge. JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge. Plaintiffs Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua G. Leonard bring this action against defendants Artisan Entertainment, Inc., and Artisan Pictures Inc. (collectively, “Artisan”) for breach of contract and violations of New York Civil Rights Law § 51, § 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), and New York common law regarding unfair competition. The plaintiffs, who played the three central characters in the film “The Blair Witch Project” (“Blair Witch 1”), complain that their names and likenesses from that film, or other images of them, have been used without their approval in a sequel called “Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows” (“Blair Witch 2”), as well as in promotions for that sequel and in other unauthorized ways. The defendants claim that each of the plaintiffs authorized these uses in their original acting contracts. The defendants now move for summary judgment on all claims. I The standard for granting summary judgment is well established. Summary judgment may not be granted unless “the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.”~ II There is no dispute as to the following facts except where specifically noted.
