  • Movie-Going in the Streaming Age: an Overview of Experiences and Crises in the History of Moving Image Exposition
    Movie-going in the Streaming Age: An Overview of Experiences and Crises in the History of Moving Image Exposition New York University Moving Image Archiving and Preservation H72.3049—Culture of Museums, Archives and Libraries Written by: Anne-Marie Desjardins April 2018 Desjardins 1 Table of contents Introduction From Vaudeville Acts (1890s) to Nickel Madness (1900s) Defining the Experience – Attracting Patrons and Revenue (1911-1920s) Advertising as Prominent Features of Early Multiplexes The Theatres’ response to the Great Depression The Post-War Movie Experience – The Ozoner (1950s) Television as a Threat: Cinerama, Cinemascope and 3D Technology as a Threat The Streaming Age: Sociality and Spatiality Today’s Responses to Streaming Conclusion Appendix A: Employee Uniforms Appendix B: Special Stunt for An American Tragedy and White Zombie Appendix C: Nitehawk’s table chart (catering to the food service) 22 Works Cited Desjardins 2 Introduction For years, technology has posed a threat to the practice of movie-going. However, the stakes have never been quite as high as they are today in the face of the streaming age. Fear of the extinction of movie theaters along with their offerings of experience are very much present; the solutions are still in development, and the future of cinemas is still unclear. Must the recipe of theaters and their programming be altered in order to attract more people? If the production of moving images is dependent on consumerism, and that the latter is strangled by the growing streaming platforms, where does that leave filmmaking, fan culture and, as an extension, the archiving of this artform? The following essay will provide a general overview of the evolution of movie-going history via its many responses to the ongoing advent of media consumer technologies, ending with the state it is in today and some insight on potential solutions.

  • A Live Documentary by Sam Green and Kronos Quartet
    Wexner Center for the Arts School Programs Resources A Thousand Thoughts: a Live Documentary by Sam Green and Kronos Quartet “I've always wanted the string quartet to be vital, and energetic, and alive, and cool, and not afraid to kick ass and be absolutely beautiful and ugly if it has to be. But it has to be expressive of life. To tell the story with grace and humor and depth. And to tell the whole story, if possible." –David Harrington, Kronos Quartet ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE: After 45 years since their inception the ever-forward thinking Kronos Quartet embrace a moment of reflection with this special Wexner Center commissioned collaboration with filmmaker Sam Green, for which they have won an Artist Residency Award at the Wexner. A live cinema documentary about Kronos’ past, present, and future, A Thousand Thoughts--conceptualized and directed by Green--will take on an expansive exploration of form as it tells the story of Kronos’ history through live narration, archival footage, interviews with Kronos collaborators such as Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Tanya Tagaq, and Wu Man among others, and live music performed by Kronos. Sam Green’s insightful narration will highlight telling moments from Kronos’ early days in San Francisco as upstarts in the world of classical music seeking new ways to perform chamber music with a hip edge while championing music from Jimi Hendrix and Astor Piazzolla to their place today as widely acclaimed artists and trailblazers of the vibrant indie chamber scene. The meta quality of this work—a live documentary about Kronos as Kronos performs the soundtrack—allows audiences to reflect on the nature of liveness, presence, and the collective experience of art, while also deepening their understanding of Kronos’ music, story, and legacy.

    Jaffas in the suburbs – the cinemas of Sydney’s eastern fringe John Walter Ross “The showing of cinematograph pictures has now developed into a permanent business of extensive proportions, and temporary structures which were erected in the suburban areas during the speculative period of the business and which are of a more or less make-shift character have served their purpose. The time has arrived when these temporary structures in the interests of the public should be replaced with permanent up-to-date buildings…for the safety, health and comfort of the public”.

  • Brooklyn 59Th Annual Park Slope House Tour! B Y H T H E H B L 0 C K
    AnnualTickets House on Sale!Tour May 20th The Newsletter of the Park Slope Civic Council | Spring-Summer 2018 Brooklyn 59th Annual Park Slope House Tour! B y h t h e h b l 0 c k New York City is both America’s most populated city and a large collec- tion of small towns. As its largest borough, Brooklyn is also a cluster of small towns, and as far as population goes, sits in between Chicago and Houston with 2.6 million people, which would make us the 4th largest city in the country! It is our individual neighborhoods that define us. Throughout the city, crossing from one block to the next can seem like travelling from one country to the next. And our community identities anchor us as well. In Park Slope, like much of the City, our blocks are where we define home. Our blocks serve as community commons - proxy living rooms when we stoop-sit; safe harbor and refuge in storms literally and figuratively. In September 2001, many of us knew that if our children found their way to their block they could knock on any door, be immediately home and sheltered. From our blocks we organize, advocate, occasionally agitate and to- gether maintain the foundation of our vibrant and inclusive community. Block parties are long-cherished traditions throughout the City. How they happen, what they do and why they are important are featured in this edition of the Civic News. And with this feature, contributed gen- erously by block party veteran John Telesca of First Street, we launch what we hope will be a regular part of the Civic News.

The Belgian blocks lining Dumbo’s streets are staying put, despite reports claiming they are in danger of being “ripped out” in order to make the roads compliant with federal standards for the disabled, according to a Department of Transportation rep. “I want to be very clear that the Bel- gian block configuration in Dumbo is not being removed,” said agency spokesman Scott Gastel. “The idea that the char- acter is disappearing from the streets of Dumbo is not true.” The city has been planning to smooth out the cobblestone-like blocks for years to meet national codes that mandate all streets and sidewalks be accessible to people with mobility issues. The His- toric Districts Council, which advocates for landmarked neighborhoods, released a study earlier this week stating that a chunk of the historic enclave’s Belgian blocks aren’t up to federal standards, leading several media outlets to report they may have to be torn out. But instead of being scrapped, the 19th-century relics will be removed, in- spected, cleaned, then smoothed to meet accessibility requirements, according to a spokesman for the Department of De- sign and Construction, which is over- seeing the project.
