When one reads widely on this subject, several questions come to mind. Why, for example, did Israel, a small, newly inde­ pendent nation, offer assistance to tbs new nations and territories of Africa? On the other hand, why did such African nations accept this aid so readily? What were the reactions of the Arab nations? Of the West? Of the Sino-Soviet Bloc? Of underdeveloped nations in general? Of Israel? What will be Israel's future in "Black Africa"? Data will be presented and conclusions drawn in answer to each of these questions. November JO, 1964 Elton R.

I was growing up in Croydon in the 1920’s and 1930’s when "going to the pictures" was the main entertainment and interest of people of all ages. There were at least 10 cinemas within bus or cycling distance from my home, all with double features plus Pathe news, "Wonders of Nature", cartoons, and trailers for the following week, or part of the week if programmes were changed midweek. We had a wonderful choice. As well as the film programme, some of the larger cinemas had a floor show, or cinema organ which arose from the depths, and which played for 20 minutes as lights round the stage changed colour.

    DISNEYLAND Grand Opening on 7/17/1955 the Happiest Place on Earth Wasn't Anything of the Sort for 13 Months of Pandemic Closure

    Monday, July 19, 2021 | No. 177 Film Flashback…DISNEYLAND Grand Opening on 7/17/1955 The Happiest Place on Earth wasn't anything of the sort for 13 months of pandemic closure. But, happily, Disneyland began coming back to life in late April and by June 15 wasn't facing any capacity restrictions. Now it's celebrating the 66th anniversary of its Grand Opening July 17, 1955. To help finance Disneyland's construction in Anaheim, Calif., which began July 16, 1954, Walt Disney struck a deal with the then fledgling ABC-TV Network to produce the legendary DISNEYLAND series. For helping Walt raise the $17M he needed -- about $135M today -- ABC also got the right to broadcast the opening day events. Originally, July 17 was just an International Press Preview and July 18 was to be the official launch. But July 17's been remembered over the years as the Big Day thanks to ABC's live coverage -- despite things not having gone well with the show hosted by Walt's Hollywood pals Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings & Ronald Reagan. Live TV was in its infancy then and the miles of camera cables it used had people tripping all over the park. In Frontierland, a camera caught Cummings kissing a dancer. Walt was reading a plaque in Tomorrowland on camera when a technician started talking to him, causing Walt to stop and start again from the beginning. Over in Fantasyland, Linkletter sent the coverage back to Cummings on a pirate ship, but Bob wasn't ready, so he sent it right back to Art, who no longer had his microphone.

    July 12, 2021 Media Contacts: Spencer Alcorn [email protected] Women’s Financing Intensive, from WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) & Sundance Institute, Elevates Twelve Feature Projects with Tailored Support Intensive equips filmmakers with financing strategies and introduces them to leading financiers. LOS ANGELES - The Sundance Institute and WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) today announce the projects and creators selected for the annual WIF and Sundance Institute Financing Intensive. The Intensive is designed to help women producers—fiction and documentary—build the skills and relationships necessary to advance a feature-length project to the next stage of financing success. On July 14–15, producers and their attached directors participate in small group workshops focused on both pitching and financing strategy, and professional skills development. The Intensive continues the week of July 19 with one-on-one meetings with potential financiers and partners including The Harnisch Foundation, IDA, Impact Partners, Participant, Freeform, Hulu, Gamechanger, Chicken & Egg Pictures, K Period. The Intensive will first kick off with a free public session on July 13 at 2pm – 3:15pm ET, Protecting Producers, that will explore fresh ideas in producer career sustainability. The conversation will take place on Sundance Co//ab and include: Carrie Lozano (Director, Sundance Documentary Film Program and Artist Programs), Yael Melamede (Documentary Producers Alliance), producer Summer Shelton, and Avril Speaks (Producers Union). The Institute and WIF have been working together to address the most challenging obstacles facing women filmmakers at both structural and project-based levels. Accessing capital remains elusive even for seasoned creators, and research by both institutions has shown that women continue to deal with particular gendered biases that make it harder to secure financing.

    Interview with Alexander Horwath: on Programming and Comparative Cinema

    FILMS UNDER DISCUSSION / INTERVIEW · Cinema Comparat/ive Cinema · Vol. I · No. 1. · 2012 · 12-31 Interview with Alexander Horwath: On Programming and Comparative Cinema Álvaro Arroba (in collaboration with Olaf Möller) ABSTRACT In this interview (realised in collaboration with Olaf Möller), Alexander Horwath takes Jean-Luc Godard’s text ‘Les Cinémathèques et l’histoire du cinéma’ (1979) and his film Histoire(s) du cinéma (1988–98) as a point of departure to discuss: programming as a form of comparative cinema; the Cinémathèques as a place of production; different forms of criticism and writing on film; spatial vs. temporal (or consecutive) comparison; video as a tool to create a form different to cinema itself; programming as a form of historiography in the context of a Cinémathèque; and different programming methods (examples discussed include Peter Kubelka’s programme ‘Was ist Film’ [‘What is Film?’] or Horwath’s own programme for documenta 12 in Kassel in 2007). Finally, Horwath discusses the 1984 Congress of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), celebrated in Vienna and dedicated to ‘non-industrial’ films; the existence of an ‘ethical-realist’ critical tradition in France vis-à-vis the ‘experimental’ tradition; the role of the most important film-makers of the Austrian avant-garde in relation to the Austrian Film Museum in 1968; the work of film curator Nicole Brenez; and the so-called ‘expanded cinema’, which he distinguishes from current museum practices or the new digital formats that prevail today. KEYWORDS Jean-Luc Godard, Histoire(s) du cinéma, programming, Austrian Film Museum, Peter Kubelka, ‘Was Ist Film’, documenta 12, comparative cinema, Austrian avant-garde, expanded cinema, Nicole Brenez.
