Stimulating the intellect and providing the opportunity to explore one’s own natural voyeuristic urges, Semi Colin delves deeply into the mind of erotic illustrator Colin Murray. Part performance, part art and very much part social commentary, the recluse artist finally surfaces to philosophize on his life’s work. Award winning director Damien Lay’s Semi Colin is a well-crafted exploration into a universal conundrum: What is art and what is not?

The film reveals the realities of drone warfare—the violation of international law, the loss of life, the far-reaching implications for the communities that live under drones, and the resulting blowback the United States faces. Unmanned makes an urgent case that drone strikes create more instability than peace. “Unmanned is essential viewing if you want to understand what’s going on.” – Oliver Stone “Provides a solid overview of drone policy—it covers signature strikes, double-tap strikes and the very vague legal framework used to justify the policy.” – The Nation ORDER TODAY / NATIONAL RELEASE: JAN. 14, 2014 $19.98 SRP / TDC-DV-106 / 826262010690 / 978-1-939517-20-3 COLOR/63 MINS + 28 MINS EXTRAS TDC ENTERTAINMENT ORDER FROM DISTRIBUTED BY Unmanned_SemiColin_ad_2.indd 1 11/25/13 10:52 PM THE BEST IN DOCUMENTARY & SPECIAL INTEREST FROM TDC ENTERTAINMENT NEW NEW FOR FOR JAN.

  • Star Shines at Shell
    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

  • Sesame Street"
    International Central Institute for Youth- and Educational Televizion, IZI Special english Issue No. 16/2003/1: "Childrens's Fantasies and Television" Jan-Uwe Rogge Fantasy, emotion and cognition in Germany's "Sesame Street" Notes on the framework stories Children have a magical-fantastical interpretation of reality. They like simple, clear stories featuring fairy-tale elements that they can occupy with their imagination. A reception study on Sesamstrasse in Germany discovered this particularly in the case of the Muppet stories and the character Pepe. In several film inserts the kids felt they had not been taken seriously, however. 1. Max meets Ernie and Bert Max, four and a half, comes to the counselling session with his mother. She seems rather annoyed. Max is excellent at causing his parents chaos at home. Mother (annoyed): "The worst thing is that he says it is not him who makes a mess but Ernie and Bert, who have come to visit him." She looks at me: "Just imagine, Ernie and Bert! He's crazy!" Max: "Not Ernie and Bert, only Ernie, Mum, only Ernie!" Mother: "Stop it!" I intervene and ask Max: "What happens then?" Max (smiling): "They come, pull everything out of the boxes and then disappear without tidying up!" Mother: "Max, please! Stop this nonsense!" Max: "But you say that the one who makes a mess has to tidy up! Only Ernie doesn't bother! He just clears off!" Mother in a shrill voice: "Max! Stop telling stories!" I turn to Max and ask him: "Does that make you angry?" Max nods. "Does that annoy you?" I dig deeper: "Why don't you say anything?" He looks at me, confused.

  • Digital Infringements and the Responsibility of Digital Platforms
    COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL Digital Infringements and the Responsibility of Digital Platforms by Christian Skettrup A master’s thesis written for the degree of Master of Business Administration and E-business Student ID: 117547 – Character count: 145.888 Supervisor: Nanna Bonde Thylstrup 15.05.2020 1 Abstract Private companies with digital platforms such as Facebook, are using discursive work and strategical positioning to situate themselves in a favorable position in the eyes of their users, advertisers, legislators and the general public. Despite repeatedly facilitating the distribution of some of the worst content that humanity has to offer, the society fails to hold them responsible for their part in the illegal activities. This is partly because most digital platforms are surrounded by a legal framework that exempt them from legal liability when their users conduct illegal activity, and partly because of secretive and opaque practices that makes it difficult to decipher the dynamics of commercial content moderation. With a grounded theory approach, this paper will show how digital platforms are not just neutral technological intermediaries that exist in a vacuum, but rather socio-technical objects that exist in complex political, economical and technological environments, from where they afford their users certain things. In practice they gain a quasi-legislative role, from which they can shape their users’ ability to exercise their fundamental rights. The Umbrella case provides a rare glimpse into the opaque and secretive regulation and moderation practices conducted by Facebook. Practices that makes it possible for digital platforms to implement their self-defined regulation through technical measures. 2 Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................................
