An Actor Communicates Ideas and Portrays Characters in Theatre, Film, Television, Stage, Radio, Video, and Other Performing Medi An Actor communicates ideas and portrays characters in theatre, film, television, stage, radio, video, and other performing media for entertainment, information or education purposes. The actor has to spend time in research of their character's traits, and interpret the writer's script to entertain or educate the audience. Acting as a career involves more than just performing in movies. Working actors perform in live theater productions, at theme parks, in commercials, and on television shows. As actors start their careers, many work multiple jobs, such as working as extras in films or TV, to support themselves financially. While many actors live in large metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles or New York, production companies all over the U.S. hire actors on a regular basis. Travel is often necessary, and competition for acting positions is extremely high. Acting can be a tiring career, both physically and emotionally; actors often spend hours at a time at repetitive auditions and rehearsals. Rejection is constant for new actors starting their careers.

This activity can be acted out or read aloud in a skit-like manner by participants representing the six different Front Porch characters using this large-print dialogue. • Check out the links in the article for additional information to bring to the activity. • This PDF slide presentation may be better suited as a stand-alone activity for some audiences.

  • Girl Rising India
    GIRL RISING INDIA Building a Movement for Girls Through Powerful Storytelling Girl Rising uses the power of storytelling to inspire, shift attitudes and change behavior. In India, Girl Rising’s powerful media tools have made meaningful strides towards increasing the agency of girls and women, and inspiring community members to support the movement for gender equality. Girl Rising Film Comes To India After a close consultation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a partnership with the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the Girl Rising film was launched in India in August 2015 as Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi (She Learns, She Rises) on Star television, which has a network of 450 million viewers across the country and a reach of 100+ countries.

At a café a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States. Roll back ten years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking his fortune on Wall Street. The American Dream seems well within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous artist girlfriend, Erica (Kate Hudson). But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy. Taking us through the culturally rich and beguiling worlds of New York, Lahore and Istanbul, The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death. A MULTI-LAYERED VISION “Looks can be deceiving.” Changez Khan “An Indian director making a film about a Pakistani man. That’s not an easy thing to do,” says novelist and co-screenwriter Mohsin Hamid of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, the new film from award-winning filmmaker Mira Nair, based on Hamid’s acclaimed novel of the same name.

The films in the series span a period of nearly 50 years, opening with Malick’s 1970s breakthroughs Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), through his career-revival masterworks The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005), and continuing with his 21st- century films—from Cannes Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life (2011); the trio of To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015), and Song to Song (2017); and sole documentary project Voyage of Time (2016)—through to this year’s A Hidden Life.

  • Demure Heroines Expressing Sexual Desire. Hints of Traditional Motifs in Popular Hindi Cinema
    Demure Heroines Expressing Sexual Desire. Hints of traditional motifs in popular Hindi cinema Sabrina Ciolfi Università degli Studi di Milano Abstract. In some of the most successful and representative popular Hindi films released between the 1990s and the early 2000s, the depiction of amorous feelings often takes traditional forms. The reference here is essentially to those films that come more or less within the broad category of classical family dramas: love stories that come up against all sorts of opposition, characterised by the celebration of the traditional Hindu values and the sacrality of the Indian joint-family institution. A particularly interesting aspect emerging here lies in the way in which the sexual desire of the heroine—typically a chaste and virtuous maiden—finds representation. On the strength of studied re-elaboration of traditional themes and motifs, these films achieve high levels of stylistic inventiveness and poetic refinement, albeit often limited to certain individual sequences. The apparent purpose of this aesthetic sophistication is to endow amorous feelings—always leading inexorably in the direction of marriage—with an aura of purity and authenticity. Indeed, it is a matter of sentiments so noble and intense as to win over the consent and blessing of the families by the end of the film. The paper proposes to identify and analyse the conscious use of these traditional motifs in some of the most representative films in this area. This paper aims to analyse a selection of scenes of popular Hindi films1 in which the depiction of amorous feelings seems to draw on some traditional themes and motifs of Indian classical literature.2 The reference here is essentially to those particularly successful family-centred films, the most prevalent genre which emerged in the mid- 1990s, coming more or less within the broad category of classical ‘family dramas’.3 1 An important point to make here is that we are not referring to Indian cinema in general.
