    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

    USA // 90 min // 2.39:1 // 5.1 Dolby ** TELLURIDE FILM FESTIVAL ** ** VENICE FILM FESTIVAL – IN COMPETITION ** **TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ** **SAN SEBASTIAN FILM FESTIVAL** Venice Film Festival - international press contacts Premier Annabel Hutton / [email protected] +44 7710 199 324 Aneeka Verma / [email protected] +44 7974 086 665 SYNOPSIS Michael Stone (David Thewlis), husband, father and respected author of How May I Help You Help Them? is a man crippled by the mundanity of his life. On a business trip to Cincinnati, where he's scheduled to speak at a convention of customer service professionals, Michael checks into the Fregoli Hotel and meets Lisa Hesselman (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a socially awkward sales rep from Akron who may or may not be the love of his life. From Charlie Kaufman (writer, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, director, SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK), and Duke Johnson comes a darkly comedic and surreal stop-motion journey into the mind of a man whose dark night of the soul becomes a Kafkaesque — make that Kaufmanesque — nightmare. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION The first animated film directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson began its life as a play in 2005, as part of composer Carter Burwell's adventurous Theater of a New Ear project, bringing together Academy Award®-winning writer- directors Charlie Kaufman and Joel & Ethan Coen for a double-bill "sound play," performed in New York, London and Los Angeles. For these performances, Burwell — who wrote the score for Kaufman penned screenplays’ BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and ADAPTATION and many of the Coen Brothers' films — assembled a chamber ensemble, performing live accompaniment alongside Foley artist Marko Costanzo's sound effects, as Kaufman's "Hope Leaves the Theater," starring Hope Davis, Peter Dinklage and Meryl Streep, and the Coens' "Sawbones" unfurled on a barren stage with actors reading their lines from stools in the style of old-time radio plays.
