Explore York Experience Film 15 venues. 300 films. 4 days. 5 - 8 November 2015 Official Programme 1 FESTIVAL PARTNERS & SUPPORTERS 2 Welcome The Aesthetica Short Film Festival opens on 5 November and continues until 8 November. 2015 is the festival’s 5th anniversary and in that time we have screened over 1,500 flms from over 65 countries. There have been countless masterclasses, networking, parties, and of course, ASFF becoming a BAFTA Qualifying Film Festival. Things have been busy, since we set out in 2011 to use York as a cinematic playground. Every year, we are expanding our programme and ofering more opportunities for industry and public engagement. ASFF has once again attracted thousands of entries, and this year’s Ofcial Selection demonstrates the universal appeal of flm and outstanding storytelling. It’s our most ambitious selection to date across genres from fashion and experimental to drama, comedy and thriller. This year’s guest countries include China, Cuba and Brazil. We also have a special screening of Simon Armitage’s and Richard Heslop’s flm The Raft. ASFF also teams up with the NRM to present rare archive flm. We will also be showing winners from previous festivals with panel discussion afterwards – not to be missed. Some of the flm world’s most acclaimed talents will be in York to ofer masterclasses, including Channel 4, Ridley Scott Associates, National Theatre, director Tim Pope and editor Robbie Gibbons, together with festivals and programmers from across the word. All flms that are part of the Ofcial Selection are in competition for awards in 11 categories. It has been wonderful hosting ASFF and we’re excited about the future.

    Desperate Housewives a Lot Goes on in the Strange Neighborhood of Wisteria Lane

    Desperate Housewives A lot goes on in the strange neighborhood of Wisteria Lane. Sneak into the lives of five women: Susan, a single mother; Lynette, a woman desperately trying to b alance family and career; Gabrielle, an exmodel who has everything but a good m arriage; Bree, a perfect housewife with an imperfect relationship and Edie Britt , a real estate agent with a rocking love life. These are the famous five of Des perate Housewives, a primetime TV show. Get an insight into these popular charac ters with these Desperate Housewives quotes. Susan Yeah, well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I'm able to control myself! How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic surgery? Every time we went out for pizza you could have said, "Hey, I once killed a man. " Okay, yes I am closer to your father than I have been in the past, the bitter ha tred has now settled to a respectful disgust. Lynette Please hear me out this is important. Today I have a chance to join the human rac e for a few hours there are actual adults waiting for me with margaritas. Loo k, I'm in a dress, I have makeup on. We didn't exactly forget. It's just usually when the hostess dies, the party is off. And I love you because you find ways to compliment me when you could just say, " I told you so." Gabrielle I want a sexy little convertible! And I want to buy one, right now! Why are all rich men such jerks? The way I see it is that good friends support each other after something bad has happened, great friends act as if nothing has happened.

    “I’VE A VOICE, I’VE A VOICE”: DETERMINING STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S COMPOSITIONAL STYLE THROUGH A MUSIC-THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF HIS THEATER WORKS BY ©2011 PETER CHARLES LANDIS PURIN Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ___________________________ Chairperson Dr. Scott Murphy ___________________________ Dr. Deron McGee ___________________________ Dr. Paul Laird ___________________________ Dr. John Staniunas ___________________________ Dr. William Everett Date Defended: August 29, 2011 ii The Dissertation Committee for PETER PURIN Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “I’VE A VOICE, I’VE A VOICE”: DETERMINING STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S COMPOSITIONAL STYLE THROUGH A MUSIC-THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF HIS THEATER WORKS ___________________________ Chairperson Dr. Scott Murphy Date approved: August 29, 2011 iii Abstract This dissertation offers a music-theoretic analysis of the musical style of Stephen Sondheim, as surveyed through his fourteen musicals that have appeared on Broadway. The analysis begins with dramatic concerns, where musico-dramatic intensity analysis graphs show the relationship between music and drama, and how one may affect the interpretation of events in the other. These graphs also show hierarchical recursion in both music and drama. The focus of the analysis then switches to how Sondheim uses traditional accompaniment schemata, but also stretches the schemata into patterns that are distinctly of his voice; particularly in the use of the waltz in four, developing accompaniment, and emerging meter. Sondheim shows his harmonic voice in how he juxtaposes treble and bass lines, creating diagonal dissonances.

    Reviews of Books and Audiobooks in Italian

    Reviews of books and audiobooks in Italian Susanna Agnelli (1922-2009), Vestivamo alla marinara, 231pp. (1975). Susanna Agnelli's paternal grandfather founded the Fiat company in 1899. She was thus a member of one of the richest families in Italy. Vestivamo alla marina is an autobiography beginning in childhood and ending with Agnelli's marriage in 1945. The title \We dressed like sailors" refers to the sailor-suits her parents made all the children wear, and gives little hint of what the book is really about. It begins with the sailor-suits and her upbringing under the stern eye of British nanny \Miss Parker", but before long Italy has joined the Axis and the young \Suni", as Susanna was known, is volunteering as a nurse on ships bringing injured soldiers from Africa back to Italy. As a war memoir it is fascinating, including for example an account of the utter confusion and chaos created by the Armistice of September 8, 1943 (Suni was in Rome at the time). Judging by her own account, Suni was a very courageous young woman, but it is only fair to point out that her war experience was highly atypical because of her access to wealth and power. In the middle of the war, she takes a ski vacation in Switzerland. When she and her brother Gianni need a car in Firenze, hoping to get to Perugia where they can hide out in one of their grandfather's numerous houses and await the allied advance, as Agnellis they have only to go to the local Fiat headquarters and they're set.

The scenic design process entailed a series of private meetings, design meetings, independent research, and analysis that all culminated into a full scenic design package. The show itself has many locations that quickly transition into one another. It was my challenge as the designer to cohesively design the scenery so that it could be transitioned easily and in time with the music.
  • The Last of Sheila a Whodunit? No Question

    The Last of Sheila a Whodunit? No Question

    NOIR…OR NOT? Rosemarie Keenan s The Last of Sheila a whodunit? No question. A show business satire? You bet. A dark comedy? Unquestionably. But is it noir? Your captain says yes. In order to make the case, though, we’re going to Ihave to take a close look at the film. Quite close. Unmask-the-killer close. So if you haven’t seen the movie, you may want to head ashore before the gangway is raised. A weekend in the country, the bees in their hives, The shallow worldly figures, the frivolous lives. — “A Weekend in the Country” from A Little Night Music Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim The 1973 film, directed by Herbert Ross from a script by Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins, collects a half-dozen Holly- wood friends for a week-long Mediterranean cruise aboard the Sheila, the yacht of imperi- ous producer Clinton Green (James Coburn). The industry insiders are gorgeous actress Alice (Raquel Welch); her loutish manager/ husband Anthony (Ian McShane); Philip (James Mason), a once-esteemed director now helming TV commercials; struggling screenwriter Tom (Richard Benjamin); his wealthy wife Lee (Joan Hackett); and brassy agent Christine (Dyan Cannon). Our unsuspecting passengers are in for more than just a vacation. Clinton has planned the trip to commemorate the one-year anniver- sary of the hit-and-run death of his wife Sheila, killed the night of a party attended by several of the invitees. The driver was never iden- tified. The pre-credit sequence, in which Sheila (played by Hammer Films actress Yvonne Romain) runs along the dark streets of Bel Air doesn’t reveal much except that caftans worn without bras were acceptable hostess attire in the early seventies.
