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.

DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume Sketches and Costume Concept Art in the Filmmaking Process
Laura Malinen 2017 DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process MA thesis Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture Department of Film, Television and Scenography Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television Major in Costume Design 30 credits Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Sofia Pantouvaki and Satu Kyösola for the invaluable help I got for this thesis. I would also like to thank Nick Keller, Anna Vilppunen and Merja Väisänen, for sharing their professional expertise with me. Author Laura Malinen Title of thesis Drawing Costumes, Portraying Characters – Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process Department Department of Film, Television and Scenography Degree programme Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television. Major in Costume Design Year 2017 Number of pages 85 Language English Abstract This thesis investigates the various types of drawing used in the process of costume design for film, focusing on costume sketches and costume concept art. The research question for this thesis is ‘how and why are costume sketches and costume concept art used when designing costumes for film?’ The terms ‘costume concept art’ and ‘costume sketch’ have largely been used interchangeably. My hypothesis is that even though costume sketch and costume concept art have similarities in the ways of usage and meaning, they are, in fact, two separate, albeit interlinked and complementary terms as well as two separate types of professional expertise. The focus of this thesis is on large-scale film productions, since they provide the most valuable information regarding costume sketches and costume concept art.

Does Zero Dark Thirty Promote the Use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques?
Does Zero Dark Thirty Promote the Use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques? A review of the film Zero Dark Thirty (2012) Kathryn Bigelow (Director) Reviewed by Ilene A. Serlin One of the questions buzzing most insistently about Zero Dark Thirty is whether it condones, critiques, or even promotes what have been called “enhanced interrogation techniques” to capture Osama bin Laden and others in the U.S. “war on terrorism.” This film, directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal, has been called “the most politically divisive motion picture in memory” (Winter, 2013, p. 26) and the first film about the involvement of physicians and psychologists in the use of enhanced interrogation techniques with detainees in U.S. military custody (Kimmel, 2011). Zero Dark Thirty depicts the obsession of a female Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative, Maya, played by Jessica Chastain, to hunt and capture Osama bin Laden. It is based on Boal’s experiences as an embedded reporter with the U.S. Army in Iraq and first- hand interviews with military and intelligence officials involved with the search for bin Laden; the phrase “zero dark thirty” refers to the early morning dark hours before sunrise (“zero dark”) when the Navy Seals approached bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The film, nominated for five Academy Awards, was Number 1 at the U.S. box office in the first week of its release (Lang, 2013). It is now on over 200 top-10 lists, and Chastain’s performance has been called “brilliant” (Mead, 2013) and “convincing” (French, 2013). The film is the second collaboration of Bigelow and Boal; their first was Hurt Locker, for which Bigelow was the first female director to win an Academy award, and Boal won for Best Original Screenplay.

Oracle Corporation
ORACLE CORPORATION The Oracle Corporation is an American global computer technology corporation, headquartered in Redwood City, California. The company primarily specializes in developing and marketing computer hardware systems and enterprise software products – particularly its own brands of database management systems. In 2011 Oracle was the second- largest software maker by revenue, after Microsoft.[3] The company also develops and builds tools for database development and systems of middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) software and supply chain management (SCM) software. Larry Ellison, a co-founder of Oracle, served as Oracle's CEO from founding. On September 18, 2014, it was announced that he would be stepping down (with Mark Hurd and Safra Catz to become CEOs). Ellison became executive chairman and CTO.[4] He also served as the Chairman of the Board until his replacement by Jeffrey O. Henley in 2004. On August 22, 2008, the Associated Press ranked Ellison as the top-paid chief executive in the world.[5] Larry Ellison , Ellison was born in New York City but grew up in Chicago. He studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and the University of Chicago without graduating before moving to California in 1966. While working at Ampex in the early 1970s, he became influenced by Edgar F. Codd's research on relational database design, which led in 1977 to the formation of what became Oracle. Oracle became a successful database vendor to mid- and low- Larry Ellison in October 2009. range systems, competing with Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server, Born August 17, 1944 (age 71) which led to Ellison being listed by Forbes Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York, U.S.

Independent Film (And) Women
Independent Film (and) Women Thursday 21 May 2015 12.45pm - 7.30pm Although studies of independent film, especially in the United States, have blossomed over the past 25 or so years, with a large number of academic and more popular books published on the subject, the sub-topic of women independent filmmakers has remained vastly under-researched. Despite pioneering work by feminist film scholars in the 1970s and 1980s, and their efforts to support an openly political independent cinema, once the field of (American) independent cinema studies emerged in the 1990s, it took a direction that all but excluded significant attention to independent film women, whether openly oppositional filmmakers or ones working within an increasingly institutionalized independent film sector. Indeed, work by women filmmakers tended to be covered either within token chapters in surveys of contemporary American independent cinema such as Emanuel Levy’s Cinema of Outsiders (1999) or through focus to individual film discussions such as Go Fish (1994) in John Pierson’s Spike, Mike, Slackers and Dykes (1995), with the rest of similar filmmaking activity going largely unnoticed and only discussed (again minimally) in the pages of semi-academic/semi-commercial journals such as Film Comment, Film Quarterly and American Film. More recently, however, the field has seen more interest thanks to the work of scholars such as Chris Holmlund, who co-edited the Contemporary American Independent Film volume (2005) and published numerous essays on the subject, Christina Lane, also a significant contributor through a number of essays on women filmmakers and Hilary Radner, whose recently authored and edited volumes on feminist and neo-feminist cinema threw ample light on independent films with strong interest for women.

The Gulf War Aesthetic? Certain Tendencies in Image, Sound and the Construction of Space in Green Zone and the Hurt Locker
The Gulf War Aesthetic? Certain Tendencies in Image, Sound and the Construction of Space in Green Zone and The Hurt Locker Kingsley Marshall Submitted to the University of East Anglia as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film. University of East Anglia School of Art, Media & American Studies January 2018 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Word Count: 84983 Abstract This thesis argues that the perception of realism and ‘truth’ within narrative feature films set within the Gulf War (1990-1991) and Iraq War (2003-2011) is bound up in other transmedia representations of these conflicts. I identify and define what I describe as the Gulf War Aesthetic, and argue that an understanding of the ‘real life’ of the war film genre through its telling in news reportage, documentary and combatant-originated footage serves as a gateway through which the genre of fictional feature films representing the conflicts and their aftermath is constructed. I argue that the complexity of the Iraq War, coupled with technological shifts in the acquisition and distribution of video and audio through online video-sharing platforms including YouTube, further advanced the Gulf War Aesthetic. I identify The Hurt Locker (Bigelow, 2009) and Green Zone (Greengrass, 2010) as helpful case studies to evidence these changes, and subject both to detailed analysis.
