  • Back to the Future, but SEC and FINRA Enforcement Issues from the Present (October 2020)
    NSCPCurrents NOVEMBER 2020 Back to the Future, But SEC and FINRA Enforcement Issues from the Present (October 2020) By Brian Rubin About the Authors: Brian Rubin is a Partner at Eversheds Sutherland. He can be reached at [email protected]. 1 NOVEMBER 2020 NSCP CURRENTS 1 NOVEMBER 2020 NSCP CURRENTS his year marks the 35th anniversary of the premier of the first Back to the Future movie, and November 5th was the 65th anniversary of Marty McFly going back in time in the TDeLorean to escape the terrorists who shot Doc Brown. Back to the Future Part II followed in November 1989, where our stars traveled from 1985 to 2015, a world of flying cars andJaws 19 (or not). And then came Back to the Future Part III in May 1990, involving a trip to the Wild West in 1885. The movies are known for many things, including the following: • Cool things and happenings: • The hoverboard • Self-tying sneakers • The skateboard chase • Quotes: • “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?” (Cf. “Why don’t you make like a tree and leave?”) (Get it?) • “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” • “Nobody calls me chicken.” • “Eastwood. Clint Eastwood.” (Cf. “Bond. James Bond.”) • “Who’s Vice President, Jerry Lewis?” • When Marty claimed to be from 1985, 1955, Doc asked him, “So tell me, future boy, who’s president of the United States in 1985?” Marty responded, “Ronald Reagan,” causing Doc to say, “The actor? Then who’s Vice President, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady.

  • In New Iranian Cinema
    UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA STUDIES MASTER THESIS RETHINKING THE ’TYPICAL’ IN NEW IRANIAN CINEMA A STUDY ON (FEMALE) REPRESENTATION AND LOCATION IN JAFAR PANAHI’S WORK Master in Film and Media Studies Thesis supervisor: Dr. Gerwin van der Pol 2nd reader: Dr. Emiel Martens Date of Completion: 20th May 2019 i ABSTRACT Contemporary Iranian cinema has been acknowledged and praised by film critics, festivals and audiences worldwide. The recent international acclaim that Iranian films have received since the late 1980s, and particularly through the 1990s, show the significance that the films’ exhibition and reception outside Iran has played in the transformation of cinema in Iran, developing certain themes and aesthetics that have become known to be ‘typical’ Iranian and that are the focus of this paper. This survey explores Iranian film culture through the lens of Jafar Panahi and the poetics of his work. Panahi’ films, in past and present, have won numerous prizes within the international festival circuit and have been interpreted by audiences and critics around the world. Although officially banned from his profession since 2010, the Iranian filmmaker has found its ‘own’ creative ways to circumvent the limitations of censorship and express its nation’s social and political issues on screen. After providing a brief historical framework of the history of Iranian cinema since the 1990s, the survey will look at Panahi’s work within two categories. Panahi’s first three feature films will be explored under the aspects of Iranian children’s films, self-reflexivity and female representation(s). With regards to Panahi’s ‘exilic’ position and his current ban on filmmaking, the survey will analyze one of Panahi’s recent self-portrait works to exemplify the filmmaker use of ‘accented’ characteristics in terms of authorship and the meaning of location (open and closed spaces).
