(September 24, 2014) – Doc Films, the historic student-run film society at the University of Chicago, announced its Autumn 2014 calendar today. Starting on September 29th, each night features a film series with a unifying theme, be it a director, actor, time, place, studio, genre, or idea. Saturdays showcase a sampling of recent hits you might have missed—or perhaps you’re craving another viewing— and murmuring restorations under the hype radar. In addition to the many special events hosted by Doc Films at the Max Palevsky Cinema, the programmers have designed these eight series to provide the community and world with nightly oases of cinematic reverence: MONDAYS from September 29th to December 1st Doc presents Cinema of Childhood, presenting some of the most powerful visions of youth on film from some of the medium’s greatest directors. Films include THE TIN DRUM (10/6), PATHER PANCHALI (10/27), FANNY AND ALEXANDER (11/03), and LITTLE FUGITIVE (11/17). TUESDAYS from September 30th to December 2nd join us as we scramble to solve the case in our series Whodunit?: The Detective Story on Film, which brings together a panoply of sleuthy cinema including THE THIN MAN (9/30), MURDER BY DEATH (10/14), and MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (11/25). WEDNESDAYS from October 1st to December 3rd are dedicated to the work of Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune with such classics as RASHOMON (10/15), SEVEN SAMURAI (10/22), and SANJURO (11/19).

THURSDAYS PART TWO from October 2nd to December 4th, simultaneous with the Museum of Contemporary Art’s show “David Bowie Is”, we bring you a selection of ten films starring David Bowie.

  • The Unknown Known by Errol Morris: Quebec Premiere at Docville Thursday, April 24, 8 P.M., Cinéma Excentris
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION The Unknown Known by Errol Morris: Quebec premiere at Docville Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m., Cinéma Excentris Montreal, Thursday, April 10, 2014 – The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is proud to present the Quebec premiere of The Unknown Known by Errol Morris, the fourth monthly Docville screening of 2014. Morris is the internationally acclaimed director of such films as The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line. In 2003, Errol Morris won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for The Fog of War, in which former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara reflected on his career. A decade later, the filmmaker interviewed Donald Rumsfeld, who held the same position under George W. Bush. Armed with thousands of memos written by Rumsfeld during his long White House career (which began during the Nixon/Ford administration), Morris questions the controversial political figure on thorny topics like the invasion of Iraq under false pretences and the use of torture at Abu Ghraib. Staring down the camera without ever losing his aloof smile, Rumsfeld tackles every question with rhetorical poise as hypnotic as the film’s music, by Danny Elfman. Shown at the Venice, Telluride and Toronto festivals, The Unknown Known is a gripping verbal duel that leaves the historical truth more elusive than ever. THE UNKNOWN KNOWN Directed by Errol Morris. United States. 2013. 103 min. In English. Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m., Cinéma Excentris The film is distributed by Les Films Séville, an Entertainment One company. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcZ2‐sEb3o Online ticket purchase: https://excentris.ticketacces.net/fr/organisation/representations/index.cfm?EvenementID=511 Since 2012, the RIDM’s Docville series, presented on the last Thursday of every month, has given audiences the chance to see Montreal premieres of excellent documentaries that have enjoyed recent success at the world’s most prestigious festivals.

  • Doc Nyc Announces Final Titles Including
    DOC NYC ANNOUNCES FINAL TITLES INCLUDING WORLD PREMIERE OF BRUCE SPRINGSTREEN & THE E STREET BAND’S “DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN” CONCERT FILM AT ZIEGFELD THEATER ON NOVEMBER 4TH AND “MOMENTS OF TRUTH” FEATURING ALEC BALDWIN AND OTHER FAMOUS FIGURES DISCUSSING THEIR FAVORITE DOC MOMENTS New York, NY, October 19th 2010 - DOC NYC, New York’s Documentary Festival, announced its final slate of titles including the world premiere of “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” a new concert film with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performing their classic album. The film will screen at the Ziegfeld Theatre on November 4. Directed by the Grammy and Emmy award winner Thom Zimny, the film was shot last year at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ in an unconventional manner without any audience in attendance. Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau has said this presentation “best captures the starkness of the original album.” The film will be released on DVD as part of the box set “The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story” later in November. “We wanted to give fans a one night only opportunity to see this spectacular performance on the Ziegfeld’s big screen,” said DOC NYC Artistic Director Thom Powers. A portion of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance – a non-profit foundation devoted to advancing melanoma research and awareness set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E-Street Band member. DOC NYC will help launch a new promo campaign of shorts called “Moments of Truth,” in which noteworthy figures (actors, politicians, musicians, etc) describe particular documentary moments that moved them.

  • The Satanic Rituals Anton Szandor Lavey
    The Rites of Lucifer On the altar of the Devil up is down, pleasure is pain, darkness is light, slavery is freedom, and madness is sanity. The Satanic ritual cham- ber is die ideal setting for the entertainment of unspoken thoughts or a veritable palace of perversity. Now one of the Devil's most devoted disciples gives a detailed account of all the traditional Satanic rituals. Here are the actual texts of such forbidden rites as the Black Mass and Satanic Baptisms for both adults and children. The Satanic Rituals Anton Szandor LaVey The ultimate effect of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. -Herbert Spencer - CONTENTS - INTRODUCTION 11 CONCERNING THE RITUALS 15 THE ORIGINAL PSYCHODRAMA-Le Messe Noir 31 L'AIR EPAIS-The Ceremony of the Stifling Air 54 THE SEVENTH SATANIC STATEMENT- Das Tierdrama 76 THE LAW OF THE TRAPEZOID-Die elektrischen Vorspiele 106 NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN-Homage to Tchort 131 PILGRIMS OF THE AGE OF FIRE- The Statement of Shaitan 151 THE METAPHYSICS OF LOVECRAFT- The Ceremony of the Nine Angles and The Call to Cthulhu 173 THE SATANIC BAPTISMS-Adult Rite and Children's Ceremony 203 THE UNKNOWN KNOWN 219 The Satanic Rituals INTRODUCTION The rituals contained herein represent a degree of candor not usually found in a magical curriculum. They all have one thing in common-homage to the elements truly representative of the other side. The Devil and his works have long assumed many forms. Until recently, to Catholics, Protestants were devils. To Protes- tants, Catholics were devils.

Ambedkar College, University of Delhi, New Delhi, India Abstract Satyajit Ray (1921-1992) and Akira Kurosawa (1910-198) are the world-famous filmmakers. Coincidentally, they were contemporary and friends. They were also sources of inspiration for each other. Their films are a landmark example of creative cine-language. In most of their movies, nature and the environment are as important as the human characters. Rather, the human being is guided by the nature to act upon. Their movies incorporate nature as an essential component for human activities. Portrayal of nature, in Ray’s movies, is different from that of Kurosawa. To Ray’s films environment and nature comes as part of daily life or seasonal change, whereas Kurosawa represents nature as phenomena like rain, volcanic eruptions, tsunami and earthquakes. This difference is the result of separate geographical conditions of India and Japan. Japan is environmentally very sensitive country, whereas India, due to its larger landmass, does not feel such sensitivity. Pather Panchali (1955) is considered as a masterpiece of parallel cinema and reflects reality. The film was made with on location shooting technique. This film, therefore, depicts the nature and environment of Bengal. In Dreams (1990) imagination is more important than reality.
