Delaware’s oldest and largest film festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. I congratulate the Rehoboth Beach Film Society on this accomplishment, and am proud that the State of Delaware, Division of the Arts is once again co-sponsor of this premiere Mid-Atlantic film event. The Festival has become a grand celebration of film culture in Rehoboth and the event sold more than 18,000 tickets in 2011. The great contribution of American and International full length, documentaries and short films combined with educational seminars, opportunities to rub shoulders with celebrities and family friendly entertainment is what makes the event so special. Once again this year, one particularly deserving student film director will be the recipient of the Morris and Roslyn Fierberg Student Film Award, which will be announced at the festival along with the audience favorite winning films this year. This year’s art theme features Laura Ambler’s mixed digital titled “Come to the Fest & Sea the World” is a fitting expression of how Rehoboth and the Festival have become a destination for tourists and admirers from around the world. Whether you are a Delaware native or a visitor with us, I know you will be entertained and enriched by this outstanding cultural event! Sincerely, Jack Markell Governor 8 Dear FrIenDS anD SupporTerS oF The FestivaL: Time is our major resource. How we use our as we draw together to celebrate the art of time defines us.

The potential for “family” is here 9 Welcome Letter Joe Welcome and from Sue As Sue SeeS IT: The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival may be considered a mid-size, regional Festival, but with an audience coming from more than 25 states, including New Mexico, California, and other long distances, I’m impressed with the scope of its reach. Every January starts the influx of emails requesting the dates of the next Festival because of the need to submit vacation schedules at work. It is heartwarming to know this event generates such enthusiasm from so many people. One member has given up opportunities to speak at national conferences because of schedule conflicts with the Festival. Now that is commitment! In addition to our audience, we have many wonderful and dedicated volunteers. Some don’t see a single film but love to be a part of such a festive event. We can always use more volunteers, so if you have time Sue Early before, during, or after the Festival, and want to help out, please let us know. Executive Director Rehoboth Beach Film Society This event would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors, members, ad purchasers, and everyone who purchases tickets. Your collective supportive is greatly appreciated. Now in its 15th year, the Festival and the Film Society have entered the challenging teenage period. Significant growth has taught us well but we also recognize there is further development ahead. As we continue to strive for improvement, one goal is to transition to online ticket purchasing. In order to make that affordable, the parameters associated with ticket sales need to be simplified. The Membership Committee has been reviewing options and in 2013 we will be sharing the challenges and asking for your input in determining the best solutions. We enjoy seeing you during the Festival put please don’t be once-a-year friends. The Film Society offers a fantastic variety of special screenings, film series, and programs throughout the year. Please visit our redesigned website, www.rehobothfilm.com, frequently to learn about upcoming events. Thanks again for your support and enjoy this wonderful event which you helped develop. Sue Early, Executive Director, Rehoboth Beach Film Society p.s. Next year’s Festival is November 6-10, 2013. As Joe SeeS IT: It’s only a few paragraphs, but this is always the hardest part of the program guide to complete.

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

  • Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

APRIL 2017 PRODUCED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF 1 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Acknowledgements This study was commissioned by the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), in partnership with the Association québécoise de la production médiatique (AQPM), the Cana- da Media Fund (CMF), and Telefilm Canada. The following report solely reflects the views of the authors. Findings, conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funders of this report, who are in no way bound by any recommendations con- tained herein. 2 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Executive Summary Goals of the Study The goals of this study were three-fold: 1. To identify key trends in international sales of feature films generally and Canadian independent feature films specifically; 2. To provide intelligence on challenges and opportunities to increase foreign sales; 3. To identify policies, programs and initiatives to support foreign sales in other jurisdic- tions and make recommendations to ensure that Canadian initiatives are competitive. For the purpose of this study, Canadian film exports were defined as sales of rights. These included pre-sales, sold in advance of the completion of films and often used to finance pro- duction, and sales of rights to completed feature films. In other jurisdictions foreign sales are being measured in a number of ways, including the number of box office admissions, box of- fice revenues, and sales of rights.

The thesis explores 'myth-revision' in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth- revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story's implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' revises 'Red Riding Hood' into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.

  • Gendered Mobility, Legacy and Transformative Sacrifice in the Screen Stories of Susanne Bier
    Networking Knowledge Position-in-frame (Jun. 2017) Position-in-frame: gendered mobility, legacy and transformative sacrifice in the screen stories of Susanne Bier. CATH MOORE, Deakin University ABSTRACT An integral connection point between the screenplay and reader/viewer is the protagonist’s transformative journey. The construction of this narrative backbone is critical to the articulation of overarching thematic concerns and story premise but also reflects the story creator’s worldview- one often coloured by representations of gender. The Hollywood model certainly divides narrative function along gender lines but does this representation hold true within a different cultural context? This article examines the selected screen stories of Danish director Susanne Bier whose partnership with screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen is one of Denmark’s most successful film partnerships. Employing a case study methodology I examine the dramatic function of and agency afforded screen characters and the critical dynamic between cultural landscape, practitioner preference and narrative inquiry. Key to this address is an exploration of mobility, legacy and sacrifice as textual considerations of gender and its utilisation as transnational narrative strategy. KEYWORDS Transnational, mobility, transformative, collaboration, gaze Refocusing a masculinised gaze? With persistent ubiquity Hollywood continues to cast a dominant shadow over much of the global film & TV landscape. Similarly pervasive is the figurehead of such industrial influence - the male protagonist

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.
