  • Filmography 1963 Through 2018 Greg Macgillivray (Right) with His Friend and Filmmaking Partner of Eleven Years, Jim Freeman in 1976
    MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography 1963 through 2018 Greg MacGillivray (right) with his friend and filmmaking partner of eleven years, Jim Freeman in 1976. The two made their first IMAX Theatre film together, the seminal To Fly!, which premiered at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976, one day after Jim’s untimely death in a helicopter crash. “Jim and I cared only that a film be beautiful and expressive, not that it make a lot of money. But in the end the films did make a profit because they were unique, which expanded the audience by a factor of five.” —Greg MacGillivray 2 MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography Greg MacGillivray: Cinema’s First Billion Dollar Box Office Documentarian he billion dollar box office benchmark was never on Greg MacGillivray’s bucket list, in fact he describes being “a little embarrassed about it,” but even the entertainment industry’s trade journal TDaily Variety found the achievement worth a six-page spread late last summer. As the first documentary filmmaker to earn $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, giant-screen film producer/director Greg MacGillivray joined an elite club—approximately 100 filmmakers—who have attained this level of success. Daily Variety’s Iain Blair writes, “The film business is full of showy sprinters: filmmakers and movies that flash by as they ring up impressive box office numbers, only to leave little of substance in their wake. Then there are the dedicated long-distance specialists, like Greg MacGillivray, whose thought-provoking documentaries —including EVEREST, TO THE ARCTIC, TO FLY! and THE LIVING Sea—play for years, even decades at a time.

  • Images of Disaster in Film and Media
    EADP 2700 Syllabus – Fall Semester 2006 University of North Texas Spring Semester 2006 Emergency Administration and Planning Program Dept. of Public Administration EADP 2700: Images of Disaster in Film and Media Professor: Dr. Jack L. Rozdilsky Office Location: Wooten Hall 360 E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 940-565-3786 This Course Meets on Monday Afternoons from 3:00 to 5:50pm in 222 Wooten Hall I. EADP 2700 Fall Semester 2006 Syllabus The purpose of this syllabus is to provide a course description, to state the objectives for the course, to describe course expectations, to provide the planned schedule of topics to be covered during the semester, to specify the course’s grading system, to provide grading worksheets for the semester, to specify important dates for the course, to provide a description of the meaning of grades, and to state University and Departmental polices related to disability accommodations and cheating / plagiarism. As the field of emergency management is event driven, the Professor retains the right to alter the syllabus, as needed. While alterations are not planned, if any changes are made to this document they will be clearly announced at the beginning of class periods. II. Course Description The purpose of this course is to provide a context for better understanding the relationship between filmed programs and disaster management. The course begins with the suggestion that filmed programs are an important factor in contributing to society’s perception and understanding of both emergency management and disasters themselves. As film and mass media are ubiquitous in today’s world, it can be argued that much of the basis for understanding contemporary societal issues is provided by some form of filmed programs.

  • Scms 2017 Conference Program
    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.

  • Blue Documentary As a Tool for Marine Life Conservation Nurul Hidayah Mat, Cardiff University, United Kingdom the Asian Conferen
    Blue Documentary as a Tool for Marine Life Conservation Nurul Hidayah Mat, Cardiff University, United Kingdom The Asian Conference on Media, Communication and Film 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Human activities, including over-exploitation, food consumption, tourism, and many other economic related activities are found to have significant impacts on the ocean. In Malaysia, it is considered as a major contributor to marine life extinction. Therefore, our responsibility is to ensure the continuity of a sustainable marine ecosystem while preventing any possible extinction for the future generations to enjoy. Scholars through previous research claim that lack of information has led to ignorance amongst the public about the importance of marine life. Therefore, a number of studies have been carried out to analyse a documentary’s role in promoting species conservation awareness, which consequently leads to actions being taken. Following that, this study asserts that blue documentary (BD) plays a crucial role in providing information about environmental degradation, particularly marine life extinction. It also changes public’s perception and stimulates conservation action. Following that, this study discusses and analyses the pedagogical functions of blue documentary that could foster positive relationships between human and non-human, and become a mechanism to grab people’s attention while changing public’s perception on the marine life. In addition, it can also be an additional learning source, a platform for knowledge dissemination on scientific discoveries, a vehicle for multiple parties’ collaboration in highlighting the complex issue of the marine life, and device to push policy makers to sanction biodiversity conservation plans. It is therefore undeniable that knowing the truth about the condition of local marine life from a documentary can be a driving factor for viewer’s pro-conservation actions.
