    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

  • Download His Complete Bio, Bibliography
    Takesada Matsutani BIOGRAPHY BIBLIOGRAPHY PRESS REVIEW takesadamatsutani.com Takesada Matsutani was born in 1937 in Ōsaka, Japan. From 1960 to the dissolution of the Gutai group in 1972, Matsutani participated in all Gutai ex- hibitions and officially became a member in 1963, the year he first showed his vinyl adhesive works at the Gutai Pinecoteca in Ōsaka. In 1954, Matsutani enrolled in the traditional painting (nihonga) class at the Ōsaka Municipal High School of Arts and Crafts Arts (Ōsaka Shiritsu Kogei Gakkō). Suffering from tuberculosis from 1951 to 1959, he was home-bound for long periods of time. It was at that time he discove- red Western contemporary art through books and magazines. In 1959 Matsutani met Sadamasa Motonaga (1922-2011) at a municipal school for drawing. A friendship began and Motonaga soon introduced Matsutani to Jirō Yoshihara (1905-1972), the Gutai group’s founder and mentor. Following Yoshihara’s motto: “Do what has never been done before”, Matsutani experimented with a banal and newly developed material — vinyl adhesive — which would become his primary medium. He covered his canvases with reliefs or bubbles that spread, sometimes literally bursting over the surface, developing a unique technique of breathing air into the material. Matsutani explained that the forms were inspired by organic shapes observed through a microscope in a friend’s laboratory. These highly sen- suous works are infused with a latent eroticism. In 1966, Matsutani was awarded a grant by the French government as a result of winning the First Prize of the 1st Mainichi Art Competition, organized with the Franco-Japanese Society the same year.

It focuses mainly on painting and graphic arts, and selected aspects of photography, design and architecture. Appropriation from Japanese sources triggered the articulation of new visual and conceptual languages which helped forge new art and art educational paradigms that would define the modern age. Starting with Polish fin-de-siècle Japonisme, it examines the role of Western European artistic centres, mainly Paris, in the initial dissemination of Japonisme in Poland, and considers the exceptional case of Julian Żałat, who had first-hand experience of Japan. The second phase of Polish Japonisme (1901-1918) was nourished on local, mostly Cracovian, infrastructure put in place by the ‘godfather’ of Polish Japonisme Żeliks Manggha Jasieski. His pro-Japonisme agency is discussed at length.

    20 Friday Lifestyle | Movies Friday, January 5, 2018 Cate Blanchett to head Cannes festival jury ate Blanchett, the double Oscar-winning actress leading a Hollywood campaign to tackle sexual harassment in the Cworkplace, will head the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, organizers said yesterday. Australian Blanchett, 48, who helped launch the “Time’s Up” initiative this week following a string of sexual assault accusations against prominent men in the film industry, will become the 12th woman to lead the prestigious panel at Cannes, which kicks off on May 8. “We’re very pleased to welcome a rare and unique artist with talent and conviction,” Cannes president Pierre Lescure and del- egate general Thierry Fremaux said in a joint statement. “Our conversations this autumn convince us she will be a committed president, and a passionate and generous spectator.” The choice of Blanchett, who was named best actress at the 2014 Academy Awards for her role in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine”, will be seen as politically charged after a year in which the sexual harassment scandal surrounding Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein sparked a deluge of allegations against powerful men in entertainment, politics and the media.

Brooklyn, NY/Jan 10, 2014—From Friday, February 7 through Tuesday, February 18, BAMcinématek presents Vengeance is Hers. From screwball proto-feminism to witchy gothic horror to cerebral auteurist classics, this 20-film series gathers some of cinema’s most unforgettable heroines and anti-heroines as they seize control and take no prisoners. Seen through the eyes of some of the world’s greatest directors, including female filmmakers such as Chantal Akerman and Kathryn Bigelow, these films explore the full gamut of cinematic retribution in all its thrilling, unnerving dimensions. Vengeance is Hers is curated by Nellie Killian of BAMcinématek and Thomas Beard of Light Industry. Opening the series on Friday, February 7 is Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Medea (1969), a film adaptation of the Euripides tragedy which follows the eponymous sorceress on a vicious crusade for revenge. Starring legendary opera singer Maria Callas in her first and only film role, Medea marks the final entry in Pasolini’s “Mythical Cycle” which also includes Oedipus Rex (1967), Teorema (1968), and Porcile (1969). “Brilliant and brutal” (Vincent Canby, The New York Times), Medea kicks off this series showcasing international films from a variety of genres and creating an alternate history to the clichéd images of avenging women.
