That investment is most salient in two films: Batman, released in 1989 during the merger negotiations between Time Inc. and Warner, and JFK, the signature film of the new organization.I willargue that Batman and JFK are corporate expressions: the former an instrumental allegory contrived to accomplish corporate objectives, the latter a scenario that effectively expands the range of what counts as a corporate objective. Batman is an allegory addressed to savvy corporate insiders, some of whom are meant to get the message, while others err. JFK aspired to turn everyone into an insider. It inducts its viewers into a new American mythos wired for an age in which successful corporate financial performance presupposes

  • International Casting Directors Network Index
    International Casting Directors Network Index 01 Welcome 02 About the ICDN 04 Index of Profiles 06 Profiles of Casting Directors 76 About European Film Promotion 78 Imprint 79 ICDN Membership Application form Gut instinct and hours of research “A great film can feel a lot like a fantastic dinner party. Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

EL NACIMIENTO DE LA NARRATIVA AUDIOVISUAL MODERNA. Raquel Caerols Mateo Alejandro Tapia Frade1 Resumen Introducirse en la enseñanza del lenguaje visual y en la narrativa audiovisual como hecho específico del lenguaje cinematográfico supone indagar y estudiar aquel material que ha marcado un giro en la forma de decir del cine, este es el caso de Orson Welles y Ciudadano Kane (Citizen Kane, Orson Welles, 1941). Trabajar en el aprendizaje de esta materia no es hacer una historia del cine, —centrándose en aquellos que inauguraron una nueva corriente o tendencia—, sino realizar bosquejos en la función expresiva de los elementos que conforman un lenguaje audiovisual, en el por qué y significación de los mismos, pues es lo que constituye un aprendizaje significativo. Pero si además lo hacemos con un visionado conjunto con RKO 281 La batalla por Ciudadano Kane (RKO 281: The Battle Over Citizen Kane, Benjamin Ross, 1999) nos encontramos con la oportunidad de indagar, además, sobre la creatividad, sus procesos y las claves que hicieron de Ciudadano Kane una obra significativamente creativa.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan May 21, 2013 [email protected] | 212-609-5955 Available from TCG Books: I’ll Eat You Last and Peter and Alice by John Logan NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the availability of two new plays by John Logan: I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers and Peter and Alice, both published by Oberon Books (London).

    A SONY PICTURES CLASSICS RELEASE www.itmightgetloudmovie.com Running time: 97 minutes *Official Selection: 2008 Toronto International Film Festival *Official Selection: 2009 Sundance Film Festival Publicity Distributor PMK/HBH Sony Pictures Classics Allen Eichhorn Carmelo Pirrone 622 Third Avenue Lindsay Macik 8th Floor 550 Madison Ave New York, NY 10017 New York, NY 10022 212-373-6115 Tel: 212-833-8833 [email protected] Short Synopsis Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play. Long Synopsis Who hasn't wanted to be a rock star, join a band or play electric guitar? Music resonates, moves and inspires us. Strummed through the fingers of The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White, somehow it does more. Such is the premise of It Might Get Loud, a new documentary conceived by producer Thomas Tull. It Might Get Loud isn't like any other rock'n roll documentary.
