  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

Irwin, sognatore e idealista, ha progettato i “Gorgonauti”, bizzarri mostriciattoli alieni che vengo- no accolti con scarso entusiasmo dal nuovo principale; dal canto suo Larry, più in linea con la moda attuale dei giocattoli ultraviolenti, presenta il “Commando Elite”: una serie di sol- datini-Rambo armati fino ai denti e capeggiati dal maggiore Chip Hazard, pupazzo a metà strada fra G.I.

Insoddisfatto da entrambi i progetti, Mars commissiona ai due inventori la messa a punto di una nuova generazione di giocattoli intelligenti, in grado di parlare, di muoversi e di com- battere come soldati in carne e ossa.All’insaputa di Irwin, Larry utilizza dei sofisticati micro- chip concepiti per uso militare allo scopo di animare le due serie di pupazzi, programman- do i membri del Commando Elite per scovare e distruggere i Gorgonauti.

For example, it can be given in RNA copies per milliliter of blood plasma. Determination of viral load is part of the therapy monitoring during chronic viral infections, and in immunocompromised patients such as those recovering from bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. Currently, routine testing is available for HIV-1, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus. HIV viral load test Several different HIV viral load tests have been developed, and three are currently approved for use in the US: • Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor test (Hoffman-La Roche), better known as the PCR test • NucliSens HIV-1 QT, or NASBA (bioMerieux) • Versant/Quantiplex HIV-1 RNA, or bDNA (Chiron/Bayer) These tests have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States for use in monitoring the health of people with HIV, in conjunction with other markers. Higher numbers in the viral load tests indicate an increased risk of getting sick from opportunistic diseases. These tests are also approved for monitoring the effects of anti-HIV therapy, to track viral suppression and detect treatment failure.

  • AUG—SEP 2016 at Bamcinématek
    AUG—SEP 2016 at BAMcinématek The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. AUG 4—SEP 22 (Eight Thursdays, 25 Films) THE FILMS OF ROBERT FRANK “One of the most important and influential American independent filmmakers of the last half-century.” —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Since the publication of his landmark collection The Americans in 1958, Swiss-born Robert Frank has been regarded as perhaps the single most influential photographer of his generation. Less well known—but no less groundbreaking—is Frank’s work as an independent filmmaker. Like his photographs, Frank’s restlessly inventive, searching films have a deceptively spontaneous quality, capturing fragments of everyday existence that reveal volumes. Encompassing records of the mid- century counterculture, meta-cinematic explorations of the boundaries between documentary and fiction, and sometimes painfully personal autobiographical works, the films of Robert Frank probe surface realities to expose the complicated, often troubling truths that lurk below. Includes: About Me: A Musical (1971), Candy Mountain (1988), C'est Vrai (1990), Conversations in Vermont (1969), Energy and How To Get It (1981), Fernando (2008), Flamingo (1996), Home Improvements (1985), Hunter (1989), I Remember (1998), Keep Busy (1975), Last Supper (1992), Life Dances On (1980), Life-Raft Earth (1969), Me and My Brother (1965-8/1997), O.K. End Here (1963), Paper Route (2002), The Present (1996), Pull My Daisy (1959), Sanyu (2000), Sin of Jesus (1961), This Song for Jack (1983), True Story (2004/8), Tunnel (2008). AUG 5—24 (18 Days, 40 Films) JOE DANTE AT THE MOVIES “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante in person! “One of the most personal directors working in Hollywood” (Jonathan Rosenbaum), Joe Dante’s films brim with anarchic, inventive energy, and are indebted to (and a celebration of) the cartoons, comics and creature features that animated his childhood.
