  • Pre-Upfront Thoughts on Broadcast TV, Promotions, Nielsen, and AVOD by Steve Sternberg
    April 2021 #105 ________________________________________________________________________________________ _______ Pre-Upfront Thoughts on Broadcast TV, Promotions, Nielsen, and AVOD By Steve Sternberg Last year’s upfront season was different from any I’ve been involved in during my 40 years in the business. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no live network presentations to the industry, and for the first time since I’ve been evaluating television programming, I did not watch any of the fall pilots before the shows aired. Many new and returning series experienced production delays, resulting in staggered premieres, shortened seasons, and unexpected cancellations. The big San Diego and New York comic-cons were canceled. There was virtually no pre-season buzz for new broadcast or cable series. Stuck at home with fewer new episodes of scripted series than ever to watch on ad-supported TV, people turned to streaming services in large numbers. Netflix, which had plenty of shows in the pipeline, surged in terms of both viewers and new subscribers. Disney+, boosted by season 2 of The Mandalorian and new Marvel series, WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, was able to experience tremendous growth. A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message The Sternberg Report ©2021 ________________________________________________________________________________________ _______ Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu also managed to substantially grow their subscriber bases. Warner Bros. announcing it would release all of its movies in 2021 simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max (led by Wonder Woman 1984 and Godzilla vs. Kong), helped add subscribers to that streaming platform as well – as did its successful original series, The Flight Attendant. CBS All Access, rebranded as Paramount+, also enjoyed growth.

  • Soviet Film Archives Provide Americana Two Missing Works of D.W. Griffith
    /:*« The Museum of Modern Art No. kO V(/est 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart Monday, March 2k, I969 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOVIET FILM ARCHIVES PROVIDE AMERICANA TWO MISSING WORKS OF D.W. GRIFFITH Two early valued works of David Wark Griffith, father of American films, were discovered in the State Film Archives of the Soviet Union. The missing films, made in 1918 and 1919; have been donated by the Soviets to The Museum of Modern Art, which in turn has given to the Russians some early newsreels referring to events in Russian history. A world-wide search was made among film archivists and private collectors to locate the two Griffith films, "A Romance of Happy Valley," starring Lillian Gish, and "Scarlet Days" with Richard Barthlemess. Both films will be screened for the public, March 2k and 25, at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., in the Museum Auditorium, though the titles are still in Russian. English titles will be made later, Eileen Bowser, Associate Curator in charge of Collections, Department of Film, says from the complete list of original titles from D.W. Griffith films now in the Museum archives. Referring to "A Romance of Happy Valley," Mrs. Bowser described it as a pastoral romance with an especially fine performance by Lillian Gish, while "Scarlet Days," she said, is of interest because it reminds us that Griffith was among the early creators of the Western genre. He made one-reel Westerns during his Biograph period, but this is the only full-length Western made by the master film-maker.

  • Moving Pictures: the History of Early Cinema by Brian Manley
    Discovery Guides Moving Pictures: The History of Early Cinema By Brian Manley Introduction The history of film cannot be credited to one individual as an oversimplification of any his- tory often tries to do. Each inventor added to the progress of other inventors, culminating in progress for the entire art and industry. Often masked in mystery and fable, the beginnings of film and the silent era of motion pictures are usually marked by a stigma of crudeness and naiveté, both on the audience's and filmmakers' parts. However, with the landmark depiction of a train hurtling toward and past the camera, the Lumière Brothers’ 1895 picture “La Sortie de l’Usine Lumière à Lyon” (“Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory”), was only one of a series of simultaneous artistic and technological breakthroughs that began to culminate at the end of the nineteenth century. These triumphs that began with the creation of a machine that captured moving images led to one of the most celebrated and distinctive art forms at the start of the 20th century. Audiences had already reveled in Magic Lantern, 1818, Musée des Arts et Métiers motion pictures through clever uses of slides http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Magic-lantern.jpg and mechanisms creating "moving photographs" with such 16th-century inventions as magic lanterns. These basic concepts, combined with trial and error and the desire of audiences across the world to see entertainment projected onto a large screen in front of them, birthed the movies. From the “actualities” of penny arcades, the idea of telling a story in order to draw larger crowds through the use of differing scenes began to formulate in the minds of early pioneers such as Georges Melies and Edwin S.

  • Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) La Vicenda Politica Di Fred Hampton, Leader Delle Pantere Nere Ucciso Dall'fbi Nel 1969, Raccontata Dalla Parte Di Chi Lo Tradì
    Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) La vicenda politica di Fred Hampton, leader delle Pantere nere ucciso dall'FBI nel 1969, raccontata dalla parte di chi lo tradì. Un film di Shaka King con Jesse Plemons, Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield, Martin Sheen, Dominique Fishback, Terayle Hill, Ashton Sanders, Robert Longstreet, Lil Rel Howery, Algee Smith. Genere Biografico durata 126 minuti. Produzione USA 2021. La storia vera del gruppo delle Pantere Nere dell'Illinois e dei tragici eventi che ne seguirono. Roberto Manassero - www.mymovies.it A Chicago, verso le fine degli anni Sessanta, il criminale minorenne Bill O'Neal accetta di fare l'informatore per l'FBI dopo il suo arresto. Infiltrato da un agente nell'influente Black Panther Party, O'Neal scala le gerarchie del partito e si avvicina al suo leader Fred Hampton, prima arrestato e poi liberato in attesa dell'appello. Militante di giorno e traditore stipendiato la notte, Bill vive in maniera tormentata la sua doppia natura, da un lato aderendo alla visione politica di Hampton ma dall'altra contribuendo in maniera decisiva alla sua violenta uccisione, avvenuta per mano dell'FBI nel dicembre 1969. Il ritratto di una figura chiave della politica afroamericana degli anni Sessanta evita per fortuna il santino, scegliendo come protagonista lo sguardo incerto del Giuda che lo ha condannato a morte. Il titolo è più che esplicito: al cinema Giuda viene sempre prima di Gesù. In questo caso, un Giuda che lavora per l'FBI e un messia che a fine anni '60, dopo le uccisioni di Malcolm X e Martin Luther King, portava avanti la battaglia del popolo afroamericano: Fred Hampton, leader delle Pantere nere di Chicago (interpretato da Daniel Kaluuya, premiato con un Golden Globe al migliore attore non protagonista in un film drammatico), politico e ideologo marxista che professava una visione rivoluzionaria in grado di superare tradizioni e retaggi di una cultura preziosa ma subalterna.
