  • MAKING MEMORIES at the MOVIES – a Guide to Watching at Home
    MAKING MEMORIES AT THE MOVIES – A Guide to Watching at Home Celebrating Women in Film All films in this program have something in common: Their stars are legendary women in film. Do you recall seeing these films? Let’s spark some memories! A little background information about women in film According to the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, male characters continued to control the big screen in 2018. about 35% of films contained 10 or more female characters in dialogue roles about 82% had 10 or more male characters in speaking roles. ….research is still revealing that women are overwhelmingly valued in film based on their identification as a mother, wife, or lover (Lang, 2015). Women are often portrayed as dependent on other characters, over-emotional, and confined to low-status jobs when compared to enterprising and ambitious male characters. So… let’s celebrate some of our outstanding female actor’s who have endured throughout the years! ____________________________________________________________________________ Judy Garland The Wizard of Oz (1939) is an American musical fantasy film. Widely considered to be one of the greatest films in cinema history, it is the best-known and most commercially successful adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film stars Judy Garland as Dorothy Galea, alongside Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton. Theme: Dorothy Gale lives with her dog Toto on a Kansas farm belonging to her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. She is not able to join her family in their storm cellar during a tornado, so instead, takes shelter in her bedroom where she is hit by flying debris.

  • R Icsa S" Cs Ui
    s6s r i w°/Ia ym ICsa ui S" cs . .. ....................... ....... Dear Colleagues, Writers and directors, working in the kind of collaboration that dignifies both of our profes- sions, stand together once again in our official identities as the Writers Guild of America, west and the Directors Guild of America, to present the Preston Sturges Award in recognition of a career achievement in filmmaking. Our honoree is Blake Edwards, the third artist to be so selected, preceded by Richard Brooks and Billy Wilder. How proud we are to have been in their presence and to be working at the same crafts! Somewhere, Preston Sturges is smiling; surely Blake Edwards is a talent after his own heart. Consider Blake's body of work, outlined in detail elsewhere in this publication. It is the journey of an instinctive artist learning his craft. A journey through the latter days of the legendary Hollywood studio system, writing low-budget westerns and romantic comedies, then directing his own scripts. Then the gradual development of a personal style, a "touch." Then, in 1963, his script (with Maurice Richlin) and his direction of The Pink Panther,and film buffs throughout the world knew that they had another stylist to enjoy. (Remember the spinning globe of the earth, and Inspector Clouseau inadvertently touching it, and spinning himself right to the floor?) After that, Blake's work, unaffected by the storytelling fads of the moment, showed the maturing of a master. He developed into one of those rare creative minds who holds true to his unique talent and to the cinematic tradition of the great era of visual comedy of Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd, and later, Preston Sturges himself.
