Glaadawards March 16, 2013 New York New York Marriott Marquis
#glaadawards MARCH 16, 2013 NEW YORK NEW YORK MARRIOTT MARQUIS APRIL 20, 2013 LOS AnGELES JW MARRIOTT LOS AnGELES MAY 11, 2013 SAN FRANCISCO HILTON SAN FRANCISCO - UnION SQUARE CONNECT WITH US CORPORATE PARTNERS PRESIDENT’S LETTer NOMINEE SELECTION PROCESS speCIAL HONOrees NOMINees SUPPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families. -
Dossier De Presse
ARP Sélection présente un film de John Cameron Mitchell Durée : 1h42 Distribution Presse ARP Sélection Moonfleet - Matthieu Rey 13, rue Jean Mermoz 6, rue d’Aumale 75009 Paris 75008 Paris Tel : 01 53 20 01 20 Tel : 01 56 69 26 00 [email protected] www.arpselection.com www.lecinemaquejaime.com Synopsis 1977 : trois jeunes anglais croisent dans une soirée des créatures aussi sublimes qu’étranges. En pleine émergence punk, ils découvriront l’amour, cette planète inconnue et tenteront de résoudre ce mystère : comment parler aux filles en soirée… La production Adapté de la nouvelle de Neil Gaiman, célèbre écrivain et auteur de romans graphiques, l’atmosphère, l’esprit du film et l’époque s’accordent parfaitement avec la passion jubilatoire de Mitchell pour la musique alternative. Mitchell déclare : « En général, j’aime créer mon univers moi-même mais dans ce projet, il y avait quelque chose de spécial. Le film s’inspire de la jeunesse punk de Neil Gaiman à Croydon et, par certains côtés, on a peut-être davantage besoin d’esprit punk maintenant que dans les années 70, à cause de cette impression de noirceur, de dureté, d’accablement qui règne en chacun d’entre nous à l’heure actuelle. » Ce n’est pas uniquement l’esprit punk de l’histoire qui a incité le cinéaste à situer pour la première fois son film à Londres. « C’est aussi une vraie histoire d’amour entre un punk et une extraterrestre, c’est un mélange de cultures et de sous-cultures. Les extraterrestres et les punks sont deux tribus en marge, dans le monde gris et normal du Croydon des années 70. -
Videography and Photography: Critical Thinking, Ethics and Knowledge-Based Practice in Visual Media
Videography and photography: Critical thinking, ethics and knowledge-based practice in visual media Storytelling through videography and photography can form the basis for journalism that is both consequential and high impact. Powerful images can shape public opinion and indeed change the world, but with such power comes substantial ethical and intellectual responsibility. The training that prepares journalists to do this work, therefore, must meaningfully integrate deep analytical materials and demand rigorous critical thinking. Students must not only have proficient technical skills but also must know their subject matter deeply and understand the deeper implications of their journalistic choices in selecting materials. This course gives aspiring visual journalists the opportunity to hone critical-thinking skills and devise strategies for addressing multimedia reporting’s ethical concerns on a professional level. It instills values grounded in the best practices of traditional journalism while embracing the latest technologies, all through knowledge-based, hands-on instruction. Learning objectives This course introduces the principles of critical thinking and ethical awareness in nonfiction visual storytelling. Students who take this course will: Learn the duties and rights of journalists in the digital age. Better understand the impact of images and sound on meaning. Develop a professional process for handling multimedia reporting’s ethical challenges. Generate and translate ideas into ethically sound multimedia projects. Understand how to combine responsible journalism with entertaining and artistic storytelling. Think and act as multimedia journalists, producing accurate and balanced stories — even ones that take a point of view. Course design This syllabus is built around the concept of groups of students going through the complete process of producing a multimedia story and writing journal entries about ethical concerns that surface during its development and execution. -
The Kid Stays in the Picture Discussion Guide
www.influencefilmclub.com The Kid Stays in the Picture Discussion Guide Directors: Nanette Burstein, Brett Morgen Year: 2002 Time: 93 min You might know these directors from: Going the Distance (2010) American Teen (2008) On the Ropes (1999) FILM SUMMARY Based on his best-selling autobiography, Oscar-nominated film, THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE, takes us through the extraordinary life and career of boy wonder film producer, Robert Evans. Despite his reputation of being a bullshitter’s bullshitter, Evans exposes his highs and lows with all honesty, along with large doses of self- reflection and deprecation. Evans was the driving force behind some of the greatest films to ever come out of Hollywood, including Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, Godfather I and II, Harold and Maude, and a jaw-droppingly impressive list of others. To hear his tales about how these films were made - and the drama behind the scenes - is riveting. Unique in documentary filmmaking, Evans speaks ‘to’ the camera, narrating the story in his distinctive old- Hollywood style while liberally employing the use of out-dated hipsterisms such as ‘dame’, ‘broad’ and ‘buckeroos’. His remarkable collection of photographs become almost film-like, giving the viewer a unique view into his life, as well as into some of Hollywood’s golden periods. It is the friends, enemies, lovers, haters, admirers and many others in Evans’ network who create the fabric of this story. Everyone made their mark on him in some way, and by the film’s end, we understand why the kid was able to stay in the picture, despite some extraordinary falls from grace. -
A Statement from David France, Director and Producer of the Death and Life of Marsha P
A statement from David France, director and producer of The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson In 1992, the year that activist Marsha P. Johnson was killed, I was writing for the Village Voice covering AIDS and the general LGBTQ beat in New York City. Marsha had been a friend of mine, and her story fell to me to report. I started investigating right away, but with no active leads and the exploding AIDS crisis in New York, I let the story slip away. For years, my decision has haunted me. When making my first feature, How To Survive A Plague, I kept a “Projects Board” of other stories I wanted to explore in future work. Marsha’s story was always the most prominent, because I felt a duty to investigate her death the way I had not been able to in 1992. Reina Gossett has suggested that I’ve stolen both the concept and footage for The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson from her work, the experimental short narrative Happy Birthday, Marsha. I owe a debt to those who have kept Marsha’s story alive over the years. My creative work builds on theirs. But it is it’s own scholarship. My research team and I spoke with every friend and associate of Marsha and Sylvia Rivera’s that we could reach, and poured through a vast archive to arrive at our film, aided immeasurably by the Anti Violence Project, whose story is at the center of my film. We sourced, digitized, and licensed the archival footage. -
1997 Sundance Film Festival Awards Jurors
1997 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL The 1997 Sundance Film Festival continued to attract crowds, international attention and an appreciative group of alumni fi lmmakers. Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.

The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy
The Bush Revolution: The Remaking of America’s Foreign Policy Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay The Brookings Institution April 2003 George W. Bush campaigned for the presidency on the promise of a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid his predecessor’s mistake in “overcommitting our military around the world.”1 During his first seven months as president he focused his attention primarily on domestic affairs. That all changed over the succeeding twenty months. The United States waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. troops went to Georgia, the Philippines, and Yemen to help those governments defeat terrorist groups operating on their soil. Rather than cheering American humility, people and governments around the world denounced American arrogance. Critics complained that the motto of the United States had become oderint dum metuant—Let them hate as long as they fear. September 11 explains why foreign policy became the consuming passion of Bush’s presidency. Once commercial jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it is unimaginable that foreign policy wouldn’t have become the overriding priority of any American president. Still, the terrorist attacks by themselves don’t explain why Bush chose to respond as he did. Few Americans and even fewer foreigners thought in the fall of 2001 that attacks organized by Islamic extremists seeking to restore the caliphate would culminate in a war to overthrow the secular tyrant Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Yet the path from the smoking ruins in New York City and Northern Virginia to the battle of Baghdad was not the case of a White House cynically manipulating a historic catastrophe to carry out a pre-planned agenda. -
Wmc Investigation: 10-Year Analysis of Gender & Oscar
WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S. -
