  • One of Us Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com One of Us Discussion Guide Director: Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady Year: 2017 Time: 95 min You might know this directorial team from: Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You (2016) Detropia (2012) 12th & Delaware (2010) Jesus Camp (2006) The Boys of Baraka (2005) FILM SUMMARY Much like trying to escape the clutches of an extreme religious cult, it turns out leaving Brooklyn’s Hasidic Jewish society without some sort of psychiatric (and in some cases physical) damage is rather difficult. As a cloistered community constructed in the wake of the Holocaust with the sole purpose of self-preservation, the Hasidic populace live under strict religious law and patriarchal control, with its own private school system and emergency services. With ONE OF US, co-directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady had to develop a covert system for shooting in order to infiltrate this reticent community as they documented a trio of Jews whose curiosity led them away from the laws of their faith and into the secular world. Ari, the youngest at 18, discovers the wonders of the internet. He soon realizes just how much of the world has been kept from him, having been raised in religious schools without access to outside information in any form. Luzer, having left years prior, lives in a mobile home in Los Angeles with dreams of breaking into Hollywood and nightmares of religious upbringing. Both men are frank about their sheltered, stifling, abusive experiences growing up. And yet they continue to mourn their loss of purpose—something that all men of faith possess— while their curiosity about the greater world leaves them permanently searching.

    MoMA | press | Releases | 2001 | Good Marchine: Tenth Anniversary Page 1 of 4 For Immediate Release February 2001 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART TO CELEBRATE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF GOOD MACHINE, NEW YORK-BASED PRODUCTION COMPANY Good Machine: Tenth Anniversary February 13-23, 2001 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1 Over the past ten years, Good Machine, a New York-based production company helmed by Ted Hope, David Linde and James Schamus, has become one of the major forces in independent film culture worldwide. Dedicated to the work of emerging, innovative filmmakers, Good Machine has produced or co-produced films by, among others, Ang Lee, Todd Solondz, Nicole Holofcener, Ed Burns, Cheryl Dunye and Hal Hartley. Beginning with Tui Shou (Pushing Hands) (1992), the first collaboration between Good Machine and director Ang Lee, The Museum of Modern Art presents eight feature films and five shorts from February 13 through 23, 2001 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "Good Machine proves that audiences do want to be entertained intelligently and engaged substantively," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the series. "Their achievements are reflected in this Tenth Anniversary series and are, in large part, due to Good Machine's collaborations with filmmakers and its respect for the creative process." In addition to producing and co-producing films, Good Machine has gone on to establish an international sales company involved in distributing diverse and unusual works such as Joan Chen's Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl (1998) and Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark (2000).

  • Recruiting Al Gore
    RECRUITING AL GORE For years, he was introduced as the “next President of the United States” -- but in the wake of a personally devastating and controversial defeat in the 2000 election, Al Gore did something entirely unexpected. He hit the road, not in search of exile, but as a traveling showman. His “show” is a non-partisan, multimedia presentation that reveals, via an original mix of humor, cartoons and convincing scientific evidence, the resonant effects that global warming is wreaking upon our planet. It is also an arresting, inspirational “call to arms,” pointing out the opportunity that stands before the nation to put American ingenuity and spirit to work in attacking this crisis. With little fanfare, Gore has presented his show more than 1,000 times in cramped school auditoriums and hotel conference rooms in cities large and small, hoping to propel audiences to make a difference in what might otherwise turn out to be the biggest catastrophe of human history. Two people who became entranced by Gore’s show are leading environmental activist Laurie David and movie producer Lawrence Bender. David hosted two of Gore’s sold-out presentations in New York and Los Angeles, where it had a transforming effect on her. “I felt like Al Gore had become the Paul Revere of our times,” says David, “traveling around the country calling out this vital warning that we really can’t ignore.” She also realized that Gore faced a daunting uphill battle in getting his message out into the zeitgeist. “Having researched this subject for some 40 years, nobody understands the issue better than Al Gore and nobody can explain it more clearly and compellingly to the lay person,” notes David.

    The Nerve Interview: It Might Get Loud director Davis Guggenheim | Nerve Entertainment 10/11/09 7:59 PM PERSONALS | RSS | HELP | SITE MAP | ADVERTISE ON NERVE FEATURES ADVICE ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHY BLOGS DATING CONFESSIONS 1 Aug 11th, 2009 With It Might Get Loud, director Davis Guggenheim wanted to tell the personal stories of three guitar legends from different generations: Jack White from the White Stripes, The Edge from U2, and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Guggenheim, who directed the 2007 global-warming doc An Inconvenient Truth, wanted to stay away from typical rock-documentary tactics. It Might Get Loud has no rock critics, no ex-girlfriends, and no narration. Instead Guggenheim focuses on why these three write and play the way they do and how they developed their personal styles. Guggenheim wanted the three to open up — and they did. Jimmy Page plays air guitar while listening to music that influenced him as a kid, Jack White writes an original song on camera, and The Edge talks about how he drives everyone crazy trying to get the music in his head to come out of the amps. The movie brings the three together on a soundstage to share stories, show one another their songs, and play. Nerve spoke with Guggenheim about the men behind the legends. — Emily Wilson You won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth. After that, why did you choose to do a movie about the electric guitar? I just make movies about people that fascinate me. The next one could be about an archeologist or I don’t know, a proctologist.

S ist wie fast jedes Jahr: erst wenn alle Anderen ihren Urlaub schon absolviert haben, sind wir dran. Aber so ein richtiger Urlaub ist das eigentlich gar nicht. Nichts von we- gen faul am Strand liegen und sich Filme in HD auf dem Smartphone reinziehen! Das Fantasy Filmfest Fotos (c) 2012 by Wolfram Hannemann steht bereits vor der Tür und wird uns wieder eine ganze Woche lang von morgens bis spät in die Nacht hinein mit aktueller Filmware ver- sorgen. Wie immer werden wir be- müht sein, möglichst viele der prä- sentierten Filme auch tatsächlich zu sehen. Schließlich wird eine Groß- zahl der Produktionen bereits kurze Zeit nach Ende des Festivals auf DVD und BD verfügbar sein. Und da möchte man natürlich schon vor- her wissen, ob sich ein Kauf lohnen wird. Nach unserer Sommerpause werden wir in einem der Newsletter wieder ein Resümee des Festivals ziehen. Es wird sich also lohnen weiter am Ball zu blei- ben. Ab Montag, den 17.
