Film festival

something I’ve never viewed before: a short film. In this Internet age, films that used to be relegated to film festivals or select theaters are now being made available online. Actually, there seems to be a new approach in the evolving marketplace of entertainment. It’s becoming more common to use digital downloads just as much as theater and DVD releases. After reading some great reviews of this new Ralph Macchio film, my first viewing of a short film couldn’t have been better! It was the shear

musicals and orchestral scores can add to the experience of a theatrical play, but films have adapted these aspects as well and have proven to be a more successful form of entertainment. Theatre productions have become secondhand in comparison, though still viewed as a high class of an entertainment, it is not nearly as successful to reaching a widespread audience as the film industry has accomplished. The resulting film adaptations that have theatre-like qualities often fail completely due to their

adapted works of the Greeks, which was not plagiarism but was a commendable addition to Roman culture. Also, similarly, the Romans celebration of theatre was part of a festival celebrated the gods. Romans celebrated with games, theatre and ritual to honor Jupiter, Apollo, Mother Goddess, and of course Bacchus. The festivals for Bacchus (Roman Dionysus) was the epitome of Roman decadence and the Roman orgy. Romans took theatre to a new level of spectacle, gore, and lewdness. This made me think

of time, Jacob Frey has become a prolific animator. The 32-year-old German has worked with studios such as Walt Disney Animation, Illumination Entertainment, Magic Light Pictures, and Psyop. In 2016 alone, he took part in making several high-budget films like, Zootopia, The Secret Life of Pets, and Moana. Frey has done in a relatively short amount of time than most artists claim to have accomplished in their entire career. However, prior to this level of success, he was known for making humble yet

him a Golden Globe, Chicago Films Critic Awards, two Grammys, and American Music Award, and his only Academy Award to date (Encyclopedia). Zimmer’s next big hit was Gladiator, which garnered an Oscar nomination, as well as Golden Globe and Broadcast Film Critic Awards nominations (Hans-Zimmer). The album for Gladiator soon became one of the best-selling film score albums of all time (FilmTracks). His popularity grew even more, and he also became the composer for films such as The Road to El Dorado

A secondary important figure in defining and examining the absolute film movement within Germany during the 1920s is Walter Ruttman. Unlike Richter he began as a student of architecture and graphic design, which shaped his identity as an experimental filmmaker and accounts for the prominence of shapes and lines within his films. He began his career as filmmaker directly after his release from a hospital in Berlin for treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by his experiences in WW1. His

of my military friends. The Big Lebowski is full of some great laughs and many, many quotable moments. I will say that after hearing from multiple friends that this was a great movie I was a bit skeptical because I'm not that big of a fan of the films that the Coen brothers direct, they just aren't my cup of tea. However, after giving this movie a chance I loved it. It actually made me want

The Aesthetics of "Slam!" is heavily influenced by the two subcultures that we plan to represent in our film: the Slam Poetry community and the Heavy Metal community. Though these two communities barely correlate with each other, they clearly share several values in the enjoyment of their art: passion, devotion and dedication. The film both satirizes the conventional stereotypes of these communities while also celebrating them for their remarkable energy levels and astounding love for their scene

It is my ambition to build a career in the exciting and dynamic world of film production. I have extensively looked into how to progress in such a competitive industry and I understand that I have a lot to learn. I believe that undertaking a degree with both vocational and academic elements will best prepare me for my chosen area of work. I am especially excited about the prospect of building upon my portfolio of practical work and learning from industry experts. The practical focus of a filmmaking

The film world was abuzz in 2017 as Jordan Peele’s ambitious and widely anticipated horror hybrid, Get Out, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on February 24th. Peele wowed audiences as a first-time director by crafting a fresh and complex film in a genre that is often lacking such qualities. Peele’s successful venture into the world of directing and horror is doubly impressive given that he rose to fame as a writer and actor for the television series, Key & Peele, which was a comedy no less
