KISS THE GROUND wins its 25th
Film Festival Award
todate. KISS THE
GROUND, narrated by Woody
Harrelson and directed by
critically-acclaimed
directors Josh Tickell
and Rebecca Harrell
Tickell, unveils a
game-changer: We
can reverse global
warming and the Earth's soil is
the solution. By
regenerating earth, we can
completely and rapidly stabilize
our planet's climate, restore
lost ecosystems, and create
abundant food supplies. With
epic footage shot on five
continents, striking visuals from
NASA and NOAA, and stunning
animation, the
documentary conveys this
critical message through the
voices of leading scientists,
ecologists, and experts including
Nobel Laureates in climate,
members of the International
Panel on Climate Change, top
scientists at the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Association (NOAA), as well as
environmental activists such as
Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady,
Jason Mraz, Ian Somerhalder,
Patricia Arquette, and Rosario
Dawson. As an urgent call to
action in addressing the world's
climate crisis, KISS THE GROUND
artfully illustrates an
accessible, relatively simple
solution to humanity's greatest
challenge. Originally
intended for a world premiere at
this year's Tribeca Film Festival
followed by a theatrical release,
KISS THE GROUND is currently
playing
on Netflix and Vimeo
on Demand. The KISS
THE GROUND trailer is available
on YouTube, KISSTHEGROUNDMOVIE.COM ABOUT BIG

TV/Film Production to Resume •
Comprehensive, Mandatory
Testing Regimens • Every
member of the cast and crew will
be tested before their first day
of work to ensure they are not
actively infected with the novel
coronavirus that causes
COVID-19. • Cast
and crew members in the
production environment will
subsequently undergo a regular
testing protocol during the
course of their work on the
production. •
Lab-based PCR tests, the gold
standards of COVID-19 testing
accuracy, or rapid PCR tests used
in conjunction with lab-based PCR
tests, will be allowed. Antigen
and antibody tests are not
acceptable. •
Testing Frequency
& The Zone System • In
order to ensure the different
sections of the production
environment are tightly
controlled, the agreement
requires the implementation of a
specialized "Zone" system laying
out barriers within which those
on set can flow based on
proximity to cast, level of
testing, PPE and the extent to
which physical distancing can be
observed in the performance of
their work. • Given
that performers are uniquely
vulnerable because they are not
able to utilize PPE and physical
distancing when cameras are
rolling, the agreement requires
more frequent testing &emdash;
of at least three times a
week &emdash; for
performers as well as those with
whom they come into close
contact, referred to as "Zone
A." • All
other individuals in the
production environment will
utilize physical distancing and
PPE at all times. Those who work
on set, but not when performers
are present without PPE ("Zone
B"), must be tested at a minimum
of once a week. • Workers
in production areas other than
the set, such as the production
office ("Zone C"), must be tested
at a minimum of once every two
weeks. • Remote
workers associated with the
production, but not working in
the production environment ("Zone
D"), will be tested prior to
their first day of
employment. •
Dedicated COVID-19
Safety Monitoring &
Enforcement • Each
production will have a designated
COVID-19 compliance supervisor
responsible for safety compliance
and enforcement, who will be
accessible to cast and crew at
all times during working hours.
To ensure that safety protocols
are being followed, the
compliance supervisor or a member
of their COVID-19 compliance team
with training and authority will
be physically present on the
production from crew call to
wrap. The production may hire
additional people to work under
the compliance supervisor to
assist in carrying out the safety
duties. •
Quarantine Pay & Sick
Pay
Sick
Leave • All
employees will receive 10 days of
COVID-19 paid sick leave, per
producer. The leave can be used
for any of the eligible COVID-19
events (e.g. testing positive,
exhibiting symptoms, isolation or
self-quarantines, or when a
member of their household tests
positive for
COVID-19). •
Employees who go on COVID-19 sick
leave will be reinstated once
they have been cleared to return
to work, so long as their
position continues to
exist.
Quarantine Pay • With
certain limited exceptions,
employees who are required to
quarantine or isolate at the
request of an employer, or as
required by local law, will
receive quarantine pay. •

LOS
ANGELES, CA. -- The
critically-acclaimed
environmental feature
documentary, KISS THE GROUND,
recently garnered its
25th film festival award
after the Red Nation
International Film Festival
(RNIFF) bestowed its humanitarian
honor, the Chief Dan George
Award, to
directors Josh Tickell
and Rebecca Harrell Tickell
(Oscar® short list for
"Fuel," Official Selection Cannes
Film Festival for "The Big Fix")
acknowledging their contributions
and commitment to environmental
justice. To date, KISS THE GROUND
has been invited to 46 film
festivals as an official
selection, including the 2020
Tribeca Film Festival.
••••
The Red
Nation International Film
Festival's Chief Dan George
Award is its humanitarian award
named for the famous Canadian
actor, author, and activist who
is known for his advocacy for
First Nations and environmental
rights, and as the first Native
American to earn an Academy
Award® nomination for his
supporting role in "Little Big
Man" (1970). Previous
recipients of the award include
filmmaker Theda NewBreast and Dr.
Jane Goodall.
••••
"Nurturing
the land is a sacred tradition in
Native American cultures, and
'Kiss The Ground' shows how we,
as a people, are in desperate
need to reconnect and repair our
relationship with our original
mother--Mother Earth," said
Joanelle Romero, Executive
Director of the RNIFF.
"Josh and Rebecca expertly
crafted an inspirational, urgent,
and hope-filled documentary
showing us exactly how to stop
climate change and ensure our
Mother is healthy enough to
provide for future generations.
Their film embodies the
humanitarian values of the Chief
Dan George Award, and
the Red Nation International
Film Festival is thrilled
and proud to celebrate it with
one of our highest honors."
••••
Adds Ray
Archuleta, renowned Conservation
Agronomist and one of the lead
subjects of the documentary, "As
a soil educator and a person of
both Native American and Latino
heritage, I'm proud to be part of
the 'Kiss The Ground' family and
find it appropriate that our
25th award is from the Red
Nations International Film
Festival. The documentary is a
message of hope and forgiveness
for the people and the land, and
I congratulate Josh and
Rebecca on their latest honor."
Archuleta served the Natural
Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) for 30 years and
is a respected expert on topic of
soil health and the principle of
Agroecology.

Protocols based on "The Safe Way
Forward"
Los
Angeles -- September 21 - The
unions representing casts and
crews today announced they have
reached an agreement with the
major studios on protocols to
allow the industry to safely
re-open. The protocols pave the
way for creative workers, who
have been hard hit by the
pandemic, to resume their crafts
and livelihoods in workplaces
redesigned around their health.
Guiding principles include
strictly enforced testing
regimens and safety protocols, a
zone-based system, and diligent
use of personal protective
equipment (PPE). The new measures
will be implemented by employers
in order to minimize the risk of
transmission. To ensure workers'
livelihoods are not burdened with
added uncertainty during the
pandemic, the agreement also
includes COVID-19 sick leave and
quarantine pay.
••••
The
agreement is the outcome of
unprecedented coordination and
solidarity between the Directors
Guild of America (DGA),
International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees
(IATSE), International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT)
and the Basic Crafts, and Screen
Actors Guild-American Federation
of Television and Radio Artists
(SAG-AFTRA). This group worked
with the Alliance of Motion
Picture and Television Producers
(AMPTP) for months to develop
science-based protocols to
minimize the risk of
transmission, designed with the
unique work environments of film
and television production in
mind.
••••
The new
guidelines are based on "The Safe
Way Forward" report released by
the unions in June, and developed
in consultation with leading
epidemiologists and experts; as
well as the preceding industry
white paper[1] delivered
to state governments and agencies
to examine the resumption of
production.
Key highlights
include:
•
Additional
information about the guidelines
can be found on the unions'
websites at: www.dga.org,

••••Andrea
Bocelli would not be stopped
by a pandemic from delivering a
little hope on Easter Sunday.
••••Invited
by the city of Milan,
the Italian opera
star on Sunday morning
livestreamed a solo performance
on YouTube -- "Andrea Bocelli:
Music for Hope" -- from the
city's main cathedral, the Duomo
di Milano, with 27 million people
around the world tuning in.
••••
Showing sweeping views of the
centuries-old city of Milano, the
video's introduction carried
Bocelli's voice-over Easter
message, also a reference to
the coronoavirus
outbreak that has ravaged
his country and weighs on most of
the world.
••••"I
believe in the strength of
praying together. I believe in
the Christian Easter, a universal
symbol of rebirth that everyone
whether they are believers or not
truly needs right
now."
•••
Duomo
di Milano
••••"I
will cherish the emotion of this
unprecedented and profound
experience, of this Holy Easter
which this emergency has made
painful, but at the same time
even more fruitful, one that will
stay among my dearest memories of
all time. That feeling of being
at the same time alone -- as we
all are in the presence of the
Most High -- yet of expressing
the voice of the prayer of
millions of voices, has deeply
impressed and moved me."
•••In
the empty cathedral backed only
by organist Emanuele Vianelli,
Bocelli ran through a program
that included performances of
"Panis Angelicus," "Ave Maria,"
"Sancta Maria," and ending with
"Amazing Grace" in front of the
magnificent Duomo di Milano, the
seat of the archbishop of
Milan.
••••
Images of
other global landmarks such as
the Eiffel Tower, Venice and New
York were also a part of the
presentation.

On the

"All Los
Angeles Marathon weekend
activities are scheduled to take
place as planned," a recent
statement from the Los Angeles
Marathon read. "Safety is always
our first priority and our
operations team has been in
consistent dialogue with local
authorities and monitoring
developments related to all
safety aspects of the marathon,
including
coronavirus."

The LA
Marathon (formerly the City of
Los Angeles Marathon) is an
annual running event held each
spring in Los Angeles,
California. The 26.219 mile
(42.195 km) footrace,
inspired by the success of the
1984 Summer Olympic Games, has
been contested every year since
1986.
••••
Over the
course of its 33-year history,
the LA Marathon has become one of
the largest marathons in the
country with more than 25,000
participants, thousands of
volunteers and hundreds of
thousands of spectators.
••••
The historic race, which has seen
unprecedented growth since
introducing the iconic "Stadium
to Sea" course, draws runners
from all over the world to take a
tour of Los Angeles running past
every major landmark. The
"Stadium to the Sea" route was
not the original route: the
original route ended at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and a
route around the turn of the
millennium both started and ended
in Downtown Los Angeles.
••••
••••
According to the marathon's
website, more than 27,000
athletes from all 50 states and
more than 78 countries will set
out from Dodger Stadium in an
effort to reach the finish line
in Santa Monica.
•Coronavirus
Prevention
•••
County
health officials and race
organizers said that they have
taken steps to try to prevent the
spread of coronavirus during
Sunday's L.A. Marathon,
including deferring entrants from
countries deemed to have a high
risk of exposure to the
disease.
•••
A "very
small number" of entrants from
China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Italy,
South Korea and Iran have been
deferred.
•••
Entrants
being screened at airports will
be quarantined and won't be able
to participate in the
race if they show
symptoms.
••••
Marathon
officials said they deferred
entries for people who live in
countries where the U.S.
Department of State has issued a
"do not travel to" advisory,
although they said it was a "very
small number" of entrants, about
0.06% of the field. Entrants with
a home address in China, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Italy, South Korea
and Iran have been deferred.
••••
Murphy
Reinschreiber, the chief
operating officer for The McCourt
Foundation, which runs the
marathon, said the deferrals will
be honored for next year's
race.
••••
On race
day, officials said they will
have an increased number of hand-
sanitizer stations at the race
expo, start line, along the route
and finish festival. They are
also telling participants to
follow public safety measures,
including frequently washing
their hands, using hand sanitizer
and to stay home if they feel
ill.

101-The
Chiefs head to the Super Bowl vs.
the San Francisco
49ers
••••
When the Kansas City Chiefs take
on the San Francisco 49ers in
Super Bowl LIV, a lot will be
made of the battle between a
dominant offense (Chiefs) and a
dominant defense (49ers). But
this game is so much more than
that. In addition to the fact
that both teams are more than
capable on the opposite side of
the ball, respectively, this
matchup features two teams who
had to overcome their fair share
of adversity to get to this
stage.
••••
The Chiefs earned their bid to
the Super Bowl by rallying back
from double-digit deficits twice,
first beating the Houston Texans
51-31 in the divisional round and
then blowing by the Tennessee
Titans 35-24 in the AFC title
game. The 49ers made relatively
easy work of their NFC opponents
on their way to the Super Bowl,
downing the Minnesota Vikings
27-10 before laying it to the
Green Bay Packers 37-20 in a game
San Francisco led 27-0 at
halftime.

Super Bowl LIV will be played in
Miami Gardens, Florida, at Hard
Rock Stadium, home of the Miami
Dolphins. This year's Big Game

Since 1890, the Tournament
of Roses has produced America's
New Year Celebration, bringing
the traditions of the Rose Parade
and Rose Bowl Game to Pasadena
and the world for 130
years.
••••
The
106th Rose Bowl Game between
Washington Huskies vs Oregon
Ducks and presented by
Northwestern Mutual will take
place on January 1, 2020, at the
Rose Bowl Stadium and will
feature top teams from the Pac-12
and Big Ten known as "The
Granddaddy" of Them All. The Rose
Bowl Game is the oldest bowl game
and kicked off a myriad college
football legacies in 1902.
••••
The
first Tournament of Roses
football game, which was the
first post-season football game
in the nation, was staged at
Tournament Park on January 1,
1902. The game matched the West
Coast's Stanford against
Midwestern Michigan. (The teams
would later become members of
today's Pac-12 and Big Ten
conferences, respectively.)
Michigan routed Stanford, 49-0,
prompting the football contest to
be replaced with Roman-style
chariot races inspired by the
literary classic Ben-Hur.
Football was permanently
reinstated as part of the
Tournament's traditions in
1916.
••••
The
exclusive agreement among the
Tournament of Roses Association,
the Big Ten Conference and the
Pac-12 Conference was born in
1946, and the first game played
under the agreement took place on
January 1, 1947. The pact is the
oldest intercollegiate postseason
bowl agreement between two major
conferences in the United
States.
••••
This
collegiate classic has been the
occasion of many firsts. The Rose
Bowl Game was the first local
radio broadcast of an East-West
bowl game in 1926, the first
transcontinental radio broadcast
of a sporting event in 1927, the
first local telecast of a college
football game in 1948, the first
national telecast of a college
football game in 1952, the first
coast-to-coast color telecast of
a collegiate football game in
1962, and the first College
Football Playoff Semifinal in
2015.

With about one-third Sothern
Calfiornia kids, they beat

The Documentary Follows Five
Angelenos Whose Workday Starts
While the City Sleeps
Burbank,
Calif. -- KCET, a producer of
award-winning and diverse
original content for public
media, and Artifact Nonfiction,
an award-winning documentary
content studio, announced today a
new hour-long documentary called
NIGHTSHIFT that follows
five Los Angeles residents in
their routines as night shift
workers. The filmmakers take
viewers on an intimate and
atmospheric journey to the world
of people who work while the city
sleeps to explain why jobs like
these are growing. Set to
premiere just after Labor Day,
the co-production
NIGHTSHIFT premieres
Tues., Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. PT on
KCET in Southern California and
Wed., Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on
Link TV nationwide (DirecTV
channel 375 and DISH Network
channel 9410).
••••
Following the broadcast, each
episode will stream at
kcet.org/nightshift and on the
free KCET app (available on Roku
and Apple TV), the PBS Video app
(available on Roku, Apple TV,
Amazon Fire TV, the App Store and
Google Play), as well as on
YouTube.
••••
While most of us are sleeping,
nearly 15 million Americans are
heading off to work.
NIGHTSHIFT immerses
viewers in the diverse
experiences of five of those
workers over the course of a
single night and a day, showing
what each of them does to keep
the 24-hour economy running.
Along the way, they share their
feelings about their own lives,
and make observations about
issues that impact us all. The
documentary also explores the
reasoning behind their choice to
clock in as the sun sets, each
explaining their role in their
communities, the necessity of
their occupations and why the
usual nine-to-five workday is not
an option for them.

created and shaped it -- from the
Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers,
Bill Monroe and Bob Wills to Hank
Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny
Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta
Lynn, Charley Pride, Willie
Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou

101-s90- Winners of the Los
Angeles Marathon
2019
///
By Gary Sunkin
••••Frank
McCourt purchase the operating
rights to the race in 2008. Soon
afterward, he asked his team to
devise a course that would show
off the very best of Los Angeles.
Working with public officials and
community stakeholders, the
"Stadium to the Sea" course was
born. With Dodger Stadium as the
starting point, the course
traverses from downtown LA, Wet
Hollywood, Beverly Hills to Santa
Monica with a majestic finish
overlooking the Pacific
Ocean.
••••
The race begins at 6:30 a.m. on
Sunday, March 24 and if you plan
on driving or riding the bus that
day, you'll want to take a good
look at the planned street
closures along the route.
•••The
marathon starts at Dodger Stadium
and winds its way through
Downtown before cutting up past
Echo Park Lake and over to Sunset
Boulevard. Runners will follow
the street up to Hollywood
Boulevard and head west, passing
the Walk of Fame along the
way.
••••The
course then drops down to the
Sunset Strip and then down again
to Santa Monica Boulevard. After
a quick detour in Beverly Hills,
it extends north toward the VA
Hospital and cuts west on San
Vicente. Finally, runners enter
the final stretch on Ocean Avenue
and finish the race just short of
the Santa Monica Pier.
••••Most
of the streets closed for the
race will shut down between 4 and
5 a.m., though stretches of Main
Street and Ocean Avenue in Santa
Monica will be closed to traffic
at midnight. Streets will start
to reopen between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m.

About
the Marathon
The LA Marathon (formerly the
City of Los Angeles Marathon) is
an annual running event held each
spring in Los Angeles,
California. The 26.219 mile
(42.195 km) footrace,
inspired by the success of the
1984 Summer Olympic Games, has
been contested every year since
1986. The marathon is currently
sponsored by Skechers, and thus
its official title is the
Skechers Performance LA
Marathon.
••••
Over the course of its 33-year
history, the LA Marathon has
become one of the largest
marathons in the country with
more than 25,000 participants,
thousands of volunteers and
hundreds of thousands of
spectators.
••••The
historic race, which has seen
unprecedented growth since
introducing the iconic "Stadium
to Sea" course, draws runners
from all over the world to take a
tour of Los Angeles running past
every major landmark. The
"Stadium to the Sea" route was
not the original route: the
original route ended at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and a
route around the turn of the
millennium both started and ended
in Downtown Los Angeles.
••••The
current route starts at Dodger
Stadium and ends in Santa
Monica.

101-s90- Los Angeles Marathon
2019
///
As we
celebrate the fall season, KCET
has just announced its special
Thanksgiving marathon
that
will
feature two KCET original shows
including Emmy-award® winning
food series THE MIGRANT KITCHEN
which explores California's
booming food scene through the
eyes of a new generation of chefs
and culinary artisans whose
cuisine is inspired by the
immigrant experience.
••••
KCET will
continue the holiday celebration
with over three hours of
historical series LOST LA
(sponsored by Union Bank and a
co-production with USC Libraries)
hosted by public historian Nathan
Masters. LOST LA uncovers the
dreams that built modern-day Los
Angeles through documents, photos
and other rare artifacts from the
region's libraries and
archives.
•••••
The
marathon will kick off Thurs.,
Nov. 22 starting at 11 a.m. PT on
KCET in Southern California.
•••••
The full
LOST LA marathon schedule for
Fri., Nov. 23 is as follows
(*subject to change):
••••LOST
LA: "Dream Factory" --10 a.m. Los
Angeles is often identified with
Hollywood, but there's more to
the entertainment industry than
its
facade of movie stars and
blockbuster films. This episode
explores the career of Lois
Weber, a filmmakerwho rose to
greatness in a nascent film
industry that welcomed women into
creative leadership positions; as
well as a Central Casting Bureau
that capitalized on the city's
segregated ethnic enclaves when
filling background roles.
••••LOST
LA: "Yosemite" -- 10:30 a.m.
Yosemite National Park has seen
some drastic changes since its
birth as a park and preserve in
1864. From a scenic land
maintained by indigenous peoples
to its emergence as a tourist
attraction, Yosemite Valley has
become a postcard for the natural
beauty of the state. But
Californians have long fought
over how to manage the Park that
currently is a site of conflict
over humanity's relationship with
nature.
••••
LOST LA:
"Desert Fantasy" -- 11 a.m.
California's deserts have sparked
the imaginations of millions of
people around the world including
real estate developers that have
created desert utopias like Palm
Springs and Las Vegas. From the
famously alien landscape of
Joshua Tree National Park tothe
wide expanses of seemingly empty
land, the desert has been seen as
a place of reinvention and a
blank slate to create dreams.
••••
LOST LA:
"Beach Culture" -- 11:30 a.m.
One of Southern California's
great international exports has
been its beach culture. Surfers,
bodybuilders, and acrobats taught
Californians how to have fun and
stay young at the beach.
••••
LOST LA:
"Ghost Towns" -- 12 p.m.
Three California ghost towns are
explored. Bodie was a Mono County
gold mining settlement that was
preserved in time while Llano Del
Rio was a socialist utopian
community in the Mojave Desert.
Finally, Zzyzx was a former
health spa on the way to
LasVegas. Some California dreams
succeeded, giving birth to
metropolitan regions in the
state's north and south. Other
dreams failed, leaving nothing
but ruins.
••••
LOST LA:
"Venice" -- 12:30 p.m.
Venice Beach boasts a rich,
multilayered history. From its
origins as a themed seaside
resort to its international fame
as a countercultural hub, explore
Abbot Kinney's original Venice of
America development, the
community of Beat poets who
called Venice home and how the
commercial renaissance has
impacted the historically
African-American neighborhood of
Oakwood.

Jeffrey
Katzenberg and Meg Whitman are
putting their biggest bet to hit
Hollywood in lecent years -- on
digital video start-up NewTV, to
bring blockbuster production
value to the low-budget video
space.
••••
Katzenberg
co-founded Dream Works Animation
and was behind Walt Disney;s
greatest animated hits. Whitman
ran Hewlett-Packard for years and
grew EBay into an e-commerce
giant.
••••
Their
backers include all the major
film and TV studios -- such as
Walt Disney Co., Warner Media and
21st Century Fox, which plan to
create original content for the
planned subscription service.
Indie studios, including
Lionsgate, have signed on as
well.
••••
Digital
upstarts have struggled to find a
viable business model , but NewTV
got a big confidence boost
Monday, disclosing $1 billion in
funding to produce and distribute
short videos for mobile
devices.
••••
A
group of funders include Madrone
Capital Parters in Menlo Park,
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.,
JPMorgan Chase and Jack Ma's
Chinese e-commerce giant
Alibaba.
••••
The
start-up hasn't announced any
shows or launched an app.
However, Katzenberg and Whitman
need a big war chest to make
their offering stand out as
companies such as Netflix, Apple
and Amazon.com spend billions to
woo established directors,
writers, actors and
producers.
••••
The
videos, delivered in 10-minute
episodes, are expected to cost
$100,000 a minute to produce,
about 30 times what most
producers drop on bite-sized
videos consumed on smartphones.
NewTV will distribute comedies,
dramas, reality TV programs and
other shows licensed from the
studios. The shows will be
available on a subscription-based
app that is expected to launch
during the holiday season of next
year.
••••
NewTV,
the first big venture to emerge
from Katzenberg's investment
company WndrCo., aims to do with
short online video what HBO did
for television: get people to pay
a subscription by offering the
content people can't get from
free channels.
••••
The
app will have a lower-priced tier
that includes ads and a
higher-priced ad-free version.
The executives did not say what
it would charge.

Munich
International Film festival is
the largest summer film festival
in Germany and second only in
size and importance to the
Berlinale. It has been
held annually since 1983 and
takes place in late June.
••••
A
geographic focus this year at
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN, and one
that pervades various sections of
the program, is China. Films from
this country include works by a
number of audacious young
(screenplay) writers, along with
"ASH IS PUREST WHITE," the latest
film by Jia Zhang-Ke, which is
absolutely a highlight of the
entire festival. Common to all
these films is that they and
their creators deliberately
position themselves contrary to
the cinematic mainstream. The
result of this attitude is a
collection of films, some of
which are awkward, some
avant-garde, none obliging, all
with a powerfully driven vision
of art and style. The fact that
the plots of most of these films
are set in provincial China, far
from the familiar megacities,
makes it possible to look behind
the scenes, beyond the China we
know.
••••The
big name here is doubtless Jia
Zhang-Ke, one of the best-known
and most celebrated Chinese
writer-directors. His
international breakthrough
ultimately came in 2006, when he
received a Golden Lion in Venice
for his masterpiece STILL LIFE,
followed by an award for best
screenplay in Cannes for TOUCH OF
SIN (2013). Jia Zhang-Ke has
become a frequent guest at large
film festivals, not least at
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN.
••••
With his
latest film, ASH IS PUREST WHITE,
which is entered in the
CineMasters competition, Jia
Zhang-Ke has again delivered a
masterful film, underscoring his
status as a chronicler of his
country. In this capacity, he has
time and again dealt in films
with China's development in the
past 20 years and with the
(societal) consequences of
Chinese turbocapitalism. Jia
Zhang-Ke makes the major changes
happening in the country as well
as to its people a major theme in
his current film. This film takes
the viewer on a journey through
idiosyncratic imagery and the
entanglements of organized crime.
It is both a romance and a
gangster movie, melodramatic and
trendy at the same time.

The best College Football Playoff
semifinal yet was just as
majestic as its Rose Bowl
setting
••••
The 104th Rose Bowl was also the
highest-scoring, surpassing last
year's 52-49 USC victory against
Penn State. There was a lot more
on the line in this one, the
first CFP game to go to overtime
as well.
••••
Well, you're not going to get
much better than double overtime
in The Granddaddy of Them All. A
high-scoring, thrilling game
between No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 3
Georgia took the Rose Bowl into
its first overtime in history.
The 54-48 victory for the
Bulldogs came after blocking a
Sooners field goal attempt with
running back Sony Michel
scoring the game-winning
touchdown on a 27-yard run on the
ensuing possession in double
overtime.
••••
•
The win puts Georgia in a
position to play for its first
national championship since 1983.
It also marks the largest
comeback in Rose Bowl history and
just the third double-digit
comeback. The only other times
were in 1926 when Alabama came
back from 12-0 to beat Washington
20-19 and in 1989 when Michigan
came back from 14-3 to beat USC
22-14. The comeback also marks a
low-percentage win for the
Bulldogs for the 2017
season.

PricewaterhouseCoopers,
the accountancy firm that has
overseen the counting of the
Oscars ballots for 83 years, has
apologized for the most
spectacular blunder in the
history of the starry ceremony --
when the award for best film was
mistakenly presented to La La
Land instead of the actual winner
Moonlight.
••••
The
envelopes were locked in a safe
until the day of the ceremony,
when the accountants travelled
separately to the theatre under
security protection, each with a
complete set of results. Each
carried their briefcase of
envelopes to the stage, standing
stage right and stage left, ready
to hand them to the presenters
seconds before they walked on
stage. They were confident
nothing could go wrong &endash;
until the night when it did, and
the world was watching.
••••
The
company promised to investigate
the error after Warren Beatty,
who was presenting the best
picture award with "Bonnie and
Clyde" co-star Faye Dunaway,
ended up with the wrong envelope.
As seen by millions of viewers,
Beatty opened the envelope, he
paused, as if not quite sure what
he was seeing, but then passed it
to Dunaway, who announced "La La
Land!" What followed
was unprecedented in Oscar
history.
••••
Chaos duly
reigned on stage as La La
Land's cast and crew
grappled with the turn of
fortunes. As the audience
applauded, open-mouthed, host
Jimmy Kimmel tried to explain
what had happened, before Warren
Beatty took to the mic,
sheepishly grinning through the
madness.
••••
"There's a
mistake."La-La Land producer
Horowitz gently
pushed Beatty out of the way
to gesture to the cast and crew
of Moonlight and say, "Moonlight,
you guys won best picture". 'This
is not a joke, Moonlight has won
Best Picture'
••••
The exact
procedure for dealing with such a
mistake was unknown because such
errors had never been made in the
Oscars' 88-year history.
••••
Attention
will focus on a provision
intended to make the system
failsafe: there are duplicate
envelopes of the complete set of
results, held in the wings in
case anything should go wrong
with a presenter or an envelope.
The key question will be whether
the duplicate of the best actress
award, which had just been
announced, was handed to Beatty
in the wings as he walked out to
announce best picture.
••••
The snafu
was the talk of the town on
social media and the Governor's
ball that followed the
awards.

• Hollywood
stars who snubbed the Academy
Awards
Not everyone
in Hollywood enjoys the gala
event. Over the years, a handful
of Hollywood A-listers have
refused to attend the ceremony,
and some who've sidestepped the
show did so when they were up for
awards of their own.
••••
From
Katharine Hepburn to Will Smith,
here are Hollywood stars who
snubbed the Oscars.
••••
2016
- Will Smith and Jada Pinkett
Smith called for a boycott of the
Academy Awards ceremony upon
learning that the nominations,
for the second year in a row,
featured no actors of color. The
actress and her superstar
husband, Will Smith, were soon
joined in the boycott by other
Hollywood heavyweights including
Oscar-winning directors Spike Lee
and Michael Moore, while other
stars -- including Oscar winners
George Clooney and Lupita Nyong'o
-- spoke out in support.
••••
2003
- Peter O' Toole - In 2003,
Peter O' Toole became the first
actor to ever refuse an honorary
Oscar. Maybe he did so out of
pride. The legendary "Lawrence of
Arabia" star, who'd been
nominated eight times throughout
his nearly 50-year career and
lost every single time, wrote to
the Academy, explaining, "I am
still in the game and might win
the lovely bugger outright. Would
the Academy please defer the
honor until I am 80?"
••••
The
Academy responded by telling him
stars like Paul Newman and Henry
Fonda were given Honorary Oscars
and went on to actually win one
shortly after. O'Toole was sold,
and happily showed up to accept
his award.
••••
2002
- Woody Allen though he's
been nominated several times
throughout his decades-long
career, has never shown up to
receive an Academy Award,
explaining, "I have no regard for
that kind of ceremony. I just
don't think they know what
they're doing. When you see who
wins those things -- or who
doesn't win them -- you can see
how meaningless this Oscar thing
is."
••••
Allen did
make one appearance on the Oscars
stage. In 2002, just six months
after the September 11 attacks,
the director presented a montage
of films made in his beloved New
York City.
••••
1987 -
Paul Newman was nominated six
times from 1961 until 1982, and
although he attended the ceremony
many times, he never took home an
award.
••••
Newman was
nominated a seventh time in 1987
for "The Color Of Money." All
bets were on him, but by that
point, the actor was over it, and
decided ahead of time he wouldn't
attend the ceremony. "It's like
chasing a beautiful woman for 80
years. Finally, she relents and
you say, 'I'm terribly sorry. I'm
tired,'" Newman explained.
••••
1981 -
John Gielgud, British actor,
charmed audiences as the
unflappable, acid-tongued butler
Hobson in 1981's "Arthur," but
the actor didn't bother showing
up to the ceremony to accept his
award when his name was
called.
••
Gielgud,
who throughout his eight-decade
career nabbed two Oscars, three
Tonys, an Emmy and a Grammy
(among other honors) -- once said
of awards shows, "I really detest
all the mutual congratulation
baloney and the invidious
comparisons which they
evoke.""
••••
1974 -
Katharine Hepburn holds a
Hollywood record for being
nominated 12 times and winning
four Oscars over her long career,
but she never attended the
ceremony to hear her name called.
"As for me, prizes are nothing,"
she once said. "My prize is my
work." Hepburn made exactly one
appearance at the Academy Awards
in 1974 to present the Irving G.
Thalberg Memorial Award to
producer and friend Lawrence
Weingarten. "I'm living proof
that a person can wait 41 years
to be unselfish," she
quipped.
••••
1973 -
Marlon Brando caused a ruckus
when he boycotted the ceremony in
1973 to call attention to
Hollywood's misrepresentation of
Native Americans. Brando, who won
Best Actor honors that year for
his performance in "The
Godfather," had Native American
civil rights activist Sacheen
Littlefeather approach the podium
to decline his award and give a
protest speech on his behalf.
••••
1970
- George C. Scott was the
first actor to refuse to accept
an Oscar. The legendary actor,
who was nominated in 1970 for his
gripping portrayal of Gen. George
S. Patton in "Patton,"
telegraphed the Academy months
before the ceremony to let them
know he didn't want the award. On
the night of the ceremony,
presenter Goldie Hawn opened the
envelope and cried, "Oh my God!
The winner is George C. Scott,"
but the actor, true to his word,
was home on his farm in upstate
New York.
••••
Scott said
of the Oscars, "The ceremonies
are a two-hour meat parade, a
public display with contrived
suspense for economic reasons."
Oops!
••••
1960 -
Elizabeth Taylor, screen
legend, was a frequent Oscar
nominee, nabbing her first award
for her role as a high-class
escort in 1960's "Butterfield 8."
Six years later, Taylor was
poised to win again for her
riveting performance opposite
husband Richard Burton, who was
also nominated, for "Who's Afraid
of Virginia Woolf?" However,
Burton had already lost four
times at the Oscars and would
almost certainly lose again, so
both husband and wife boycotted
the ceremony in protest -- though
Taylor made up an excuse about
Burton being afraid to fly back
to the states from Paris. Taylor
did win again and never issued a
statement thanking the
Academy.

Charles Osgood,
who has made the CBS show "Sunday
Morning" a weekly ritual for many
viewers, will be leaving at the
end of September after 22 years
as the program's anchor.
•••News
of his departure comes after
months of speculation. On Sunday
Aug. 28, Mr. Osgood, who is 83,
used a part of the "Sunday
Morning" broadcast to tell his
viewers that the rumors were
true.
•••"For
years now, people, even friends
and family, have been asking me
why I keep doing this,
considering my age," Mr. Osgood
said. "I am pushing 84. It's just
that it's been a joy doing
it."
•••He
added: "It's been a great run,
but after nearly 50 years at CBS,
including the last 22 years here
on 'Sunday Morning,' the time has
come, and a date is set for me to
do my farewell 'Sunday Morning.'"
The farewell broadcast will be on
Sept. 25.
••He
took over "Sunday Morning" from
Charles Kuralt in 1994. His
comforting, almost folksy
approach to the news (and
trademark bow ties) quickly
eliminated any early doubts that
he could successfully replace Mr.
Kuralt, who had spent 15 years
developing the show. With Mr.
Osgood in the anchor chair, the
program has won three daytime
Emmys for outstanding morning
program.
•••••"Charles
Osgood has one of the most
distinctive voices in
broadcasting, guiding each
broadcast, making sure the words
were just right and being a
calming, reassuring presence to
our viewers," David Rhodes,
president of CBS News, said in a
statement. "His impeccable
commitment to quality inspires
all of us at CBS News."
•••••
On his
last Sunday, Mr. Osgood assured
viewers that they could still
find him on the radio. He will
contribute to his long-running
program "The Osgood File," where
he has been known to read
vignettes and poems about the
day's news.
•••
He ended
his farewell to his viewers with
a few wistful bars from a folk
song, written by Woody Guthrie:
"So long, it's been good to know
you/So long it's been good to
know you/So long it's been good
to know you/A long time since
I've been home/And I've got to be
drifting along."
•••Among
those under consideration are
reportedly "Sunday Morning"
colleagues Jane Pauley, Anthony
Mason and Lee Cowan.

"It's
time for Dodger baseball! Hi,
everybody, and a very pleasant
good (afternoon/evening) to you,
wherever you may be." Scully's
signature introduction to Dodger
games.
••••
After 67
years as the radio and tv voice
of the Dodgers, Vin Scully
retires
• He preferred to not
stand under much of a spotlight
in this final season-
so his farewell tour came to him.
It has long been a tradition that
umpires, before the first game of
every series at Dodger Stadium,
look up at the booth and
uniformly salute Scully. But this
season, both players and umpires,
sometimes in uniform, have taken
elevator rides to the fifth floor
to visit his booth to simply say
thank you.
••••
Scully
stories? -- there are many.
Writer
Bill Plaschke remembers his
Scully stories began when he was
a young reporter covering the
Dodgers for the LA Times in the
late 1980s. "I would sneak a
radio to my place in the Dodger
Stadium press box and stick
headphones into my ears and
listen to him broadcast the final
three innings. I was typing so
furiously under deadline pressure
I couldn't really watch the
games, so Scully watched them for
me, and taught me baseball in the
process."
••••
Vincent
Edward "Vin" Scully was born
November 29, 1927 in The Bronx
and grew up in the Washington
Heights section of Manhattan
••••
Scully
discovered his love of baseball
at age 8, when he saw the results
of the 2nd game of the 1936 World
Series at a laundromat and felt a
pang of sympathy for the badly
defeated New York Giants. Since
he lived near the Polo Grounds
and was able to attend many games
for free, he became a "very big
Giants fan." Scully decided at
eight years old that he wanted to
become a sports announcer, when
he became fascinated with the
football broadcasts on the
radio
••••
In
1950, Scully joined Red Barber
and Connie Desmond in the
Brooklyn Dodgers radio and
television booths. When Barber
got into a salary dispute with
World Series sponsor Gillette in
1953, Scully took Barber's spot
for the 1953 World Series.
••••
At
the age of 25, Scully became the
youngest
person to
broadcast a World Series game (a
record that stands to this day).
Barber left the Dodgers after the
1953 season to work for the New
York Yankees. Scully eventually
became the Dodgers' principal
announcer and announced Dodgers
games in Brooklyn until 1957
••••
In 1955
Scully announced Brooklyn's first
world championship
-- "Ladies and gentleman,
the Brooklyn Dodgers are the
champions of the world.'' Later
Scully accompanied the Dodgers to
their new location in Southern
California beginning with the
1958 season, and quickly became
popular.
•••••Vin
Scully has been with the dodgers
for 67 years since its days in
Brooklyn, retiring as the radio
and television voice of the
Dodgers, and greatest announcer
in the history of broadcasting.
Recently, Scully called most
Dodger home games (and selected
road games) on SportsNet LA
television and KLAC radio.
••••During
the last three years, a greedy
stalemate has kept the Dodgers
off television in more than half
of Los Angeles-area homes,
costing fans a chance to say
good-bye to Scully until a deal
was struck that KTLA would
broadcast the team's
final six regular-season
games. Through it all,
Scully has openly acknowledged
sadness but refused to show anger
or place blame, and fans have not
complained about his lack of
intervention. They want him to be
neutral. They love him for who he
is.

Los

///
By Gary Sunkin
The
2016 NFL Draft was held at the
Auditorium Theatre at Chicago's
Roosevelt University beginning
Thursday April 28th 2016 and
concluding on Saturday April 30th
2016 - The first round began at
5pm PT on Thursday, April 28th.
The second and Third rounds will
be held on Friday, April 29th
starting at 4pm- and the Draft
will conclude with rounds 4-7 on
Saturday April, 30th beginning at
9am. Our Gary Sunkin Sports
repother will be at the Los
Angeles Rams on Thursday -Friday,
and Saturday at the Los Angeles
Rams Media Hotel to get reports
on the NFL
Draft.
"Ja-red
Goff, Ja-red Goff," shouted the
several thousand fans jamming the
L.A. Live courtyard, the chant
turning into a roar, as it became
official, the Rams gave a new and
shiny jersey to No. 1 overall
pick quarterback Jared Goff.
••••"To
get a player who we believe can
be a big difference-maker in this
town, at this time, it's
unbelievable," said Rams owner
Stan Kroenke.
••••Goff
is bold, he's tough, and that's
just when talking about
baseball.
••••"This
is a historic, monumental, a big
deal for this franchise to be in
a position where we can have our
pick of a franchise quarterback
and look forward to years to come
with a player who is not only
talented but is a great person,"
said Coach Jeff Fisher.
••••"We
didn't make the trade without
knowing the guy we wanted; we
would never do that," said
Kroenke. "You know the guy you
want or you don't make the trade.
The Rams are also thrilled
because they think he possesses
the intangibles that Kroenke was
checking out when he sat next to
Goff at their recent interview
dinner.
••••"I
made a point of sitting next to
Jared, I wanted to get a sense of
this kid, in a sense Jared was in
the hot seat," Kroenke said. "He
was very calm, very collected,
very mature, very intelligent,
not awed by L.A., frankly, he had
a confidence to him, you could
tell that."
•••••Goff
says he's ready for the challenge
of a team that hasn't finished
with a winning record in 13
years, because, naturally, in
three years, he led a Cal team
from a 1-11 record to eight wins
and a bowl victory.
••••
"He has
the personality to embrace the
market, to be a face of the
franchise, but he also
understands it's not up to him,
it's collectively up to the rest
of the team," said Fisher.
•••••
They're not going to ask him to
immediately be the star. But make
no mistake, they walked away from
all those screaming fans at L.A.
Live on Thursday thinking that
they found their
guy..••
Rams
Day 1 Draft News Conference
Head Coach Jeff Fisher: "We
have been waiting for this moment
for some time now since the
trade. We are excited to have you
all here and are really excited
to talk about [Rams
first-round pick QB] Jared
[Goff].
•••
A lot of
work has gone into this decision
and your questions are probably,
'How long have you known?' And we
have probably known for a little
while. As you know we have had
both Jared and Carson
[Wentz] and I spent a lot
of time with both of them.
•••We
came away after they both left
knowing that both would be
extraordinary quarterbacks in
this league and just felt really
good about being in the position
to be where we got to choose one
of them. We spent a lot of time
and we faeel like Jared is our
guy. So this is a, I don't want
to say this historic, maybe
monumental, but this is a big
deal for this franchise to be in
a position to where we can have
our pick of a franchise
quarterback and look forward to
years to come with a player that
is not only talented, but he is a
great person. He is a competitor,
he's a leader, he does all those
things. We are going to wish
Carson the best and we are going
to look forward to our future
here with Jared eventually
becoming our starting
quarterback."
•••General
Manager Les Snead: "I think
I'll add that our vision started
with [Owner/Chairman]
Stan [Kroenke] at the
top, [C.O.O/Executive Vice
President of Football
Operations] Kevin
[Demoff], and Jeff. We
didn't want to just come home, we
wanted to come home and contend
and contend consistently. I think
this might have all started, if
you look at our last four years,
we have gone from bad to
competitive. We have done it with
the youngest team in football for
the last four years and it was
helped a little bit because we
kind of did a little reverse.
•••
We were on
the other side of the coin a few
years ago and we got a lot of
picks and were able to build a
strong core and we were
competitive with instability at
QB. I give Coach Fisher, his
staff, and all those players that
have been busting their tail for
the last four years or three or
two, and that are up at Oxnard
now busting their tail for being
competitive. Like Coach, said it
goes without saying and has been
said many ways,
•••
QB's are a
key ingredient if you want to
contend consistently. Like Coach
said, we ID Jared and once we
did, we wanted to figure out a
way to go get him. I think we had
the ammo to do it from a couple
of trades and just working the
system and that's what we did.
Jared is going to be a key
ingredient, but I think those
players that I just
mentioned
and Jeff and his staff are one of
the reasons that this was the
right thing to do at the right
time for us."

That Change The World kicked off
the Opening Night of the Seventh
Annual Cinema Series on the
evening of Friday, April 10, 2015
with a Screening and Panel
Discussion about the film Bhopal:
A Prayer of Rain at Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. in Hollywood, CA with the
film's stars Martin Sheen and
Mischa Barton;

Marsha Hunt,
the legendary 97-year-old actress
and social activist of
Hollywood's Golden Age received a
sustained standing ovation from a
capacity crowd of 175 guests as
she received the First Annual
"Hunt For Humanity Award" for her
social activism presented to her
by Ken Howard, President of
SAG-AFTRA.
••••
Kat Kramer,
Founder, Presenter, Moderator
and Producer of Kat Kramer's
Films That Change The World,
a Cinema Series showcasing motion
pictures that raise awareness
about important social issues,
said: "This kick-off event
of my Seventh Annual Cinema
Series was a fundraiser for
Bhopal Medical Appeal, which
provides medical assistance to
ill survivors still dealing with
serious health issues as a result
of the world's worst industrial
disaster over 30 years ago which
happened at Union Carbide in
Bhopal, India in 1984. We
raised several thousand dollars
at the event and more funding
will be forthcoming in the next
several weeks as a result of live
streaming of the event worldwide
via Global Content Media,
LLC."
••••
Kat
Kramer continued, "It was a great
honor to have Ken Howard bestow
upon Marsha Hunt my Cinema
Series' First Annual 'Hunt For
Humanity Award' to publicly
acknowledge Ms. Hunt for her
personal commitment to standing
up for doing what is right,
regardless of the repercussions,
and for being one of the first
high profile role models to use
her celebrity for the benefit of
helping others."
••••
Upon
receiving the award at the event,
Marsha Hunt said,
"My life has been a great ride
with more than it's share of high
points; even the lower points
taught me and led me to higher
ones. In my teen years I
thought I was born to act, but
when my acting career was
interrupted, I discovered a
wonderful world of challenges,
which became opportunities,
opening up my life far beyond
acting. I am very grateful
for all the good fortune I have
been given in my blessed life.
Receiving this award
reminds me of the best idea I've
ever had, that of 'Thankful
Giving,' on Thanksgiving Day by
showing gratitude for what we
have by passing a bowl around the
table to take up a collection to
share the monies with a charity
of choice to ease hunger
throughout the world for those
who have far less than we do.
My concept of a new
Thanksgiving observance called,
'Thankful Giving' was passed by
both houses of Congress in 1978
and President Jimmy Carter
advocated it in his
proclamation."
••••
As Ken Howard
introduced Marsha Hunt, the
first recipient of the "Hunt For
Humanity Award," he said: "I've
had the opportunity to honor some
very accomplished people over the
years and it has been a moving
and thrilling experience to do
so, but tonight…tonight is
special because of the recipient.
She is a giant among giants
and a grand dame of cinema and
entertainment. She is
described as kind, generous,
thoughtful, brave and deeply
concerned with the plight of her
fellow humans.
••••
"Marsha
started her career as a John
Powers model in New York, but it
wasn't long before she was in
Hollywood and in the movies.
Her roles were many and
varied and include more than 50
films for two major studios
throughout the thirties and
forties. Her most notable
accomplishments span the industry
beginning in 1945, when she
served on the board of directors
of Screen Actors Guild for over
two years and was an elected
union leader protecting her
fellow members during the
presidencies of George Murphy,
Robert Montgomery and Ronald
Reagan. She was a committed
unionist and an engaged activist.
She was a staunch supporter
of freedom of speech and could be
counted on to fight for the First
Amendment and for her friends and
colleagues.
••••
"In 1947,
Marsha flew East with a
delegation of actors in
support of the 'Hollywood Ten'
who were appearing before the
House on Un-American Activities.
The delegation of the
'Committee for the First
Amendment,' as they called
themselves included former S.A.G.
board members Humphrey Bogart and
Lauren Bacall, Danny Kaye,
Sterling Hayden, Paul Henried,
Jane Wyatt, Richard Conte,
Geraldine Brooks, Sheppard
Strudwick, June Havoc and others.
It was an act of bravery
for which some members, including
Marsha, would later pay a high
price.
••••
"One year
later, Marsha graced the cover of
LIFE magazine's March 6 issue and
just two short months after that,
her name would appear on page 85
of Red Channels: The Report
on Communist Influence in Radio
and Television. Through
that publication, her name was
connected to seven activities and
organizations deemed 'subversive'
or 'Communist fronts.' Her open
support for the 'Hollywood Ten'
and her continued protests
against their treatment resulted
in the general 'gray-listing' of
Marsha that would continue for
decades.
••••
"Not one
to stand still, Marsha became
active in the San Fernando Valley
chapter of the American
Association for the United
Nations, becoming its president
in 1961. In 1962, she was
lucky to escape a terrorist bomb
attack on the home of two
minister-colleagues.
Fortunately, as was
reported at the time, Marsha was
spared when the terrorists were
unable to find out where she
lived. She continued to
work for the U.N. as a volunteer
for many years and received an
award for her service.
••••
"Although
she was never called before the
House on Un-American Activities
Commission, the damage was
effectively done and she would
only rarely find film work
throughout the next several
decades. By the sixties,
she was semi-retired from the
industry but still devoted to
UNICEF, the United Nations, and
various charitable organizations
still working for humanity and
fighting for justice.
••••
A writer,
philanthropist and lifelong
actor, Marsha remains a strong
ally, an amazing performer and a
tough cookie that can be relied
upon to do the right thing
especially in defense of free
speech. She is a true giant
among her peers and an amazing
force of life and light -- ladies
and gentleman, it is my great
privilege to present the first
'Hunt For Humanity Award' to the
incomparable and incandescent --
the strong, the brave, the bold
-- Marsha Hunt!"
••••
Actor Martin
Sheen introduced the Keynote
Speaker of the evening, Tim
Edwards, Executive Trustee of
Bhopal Medical Appeal by
saying, "Arriving in the city of
Bhopal in 1999 following a solo
cycle ride from the United
Kingdom, Tim found that the
privilege of a first-world
upbringing gave him the skills
needed to advocate for the people
he met in Bhopal -- people who
possessed strength, humor,
intelligence and resilience in
abundance, but whose life
circumstances had conspired to
deny them a voice in the world.
Tim has advocated on behalf
of Bhopal, advising on the
social, legal, environmental and
medical complexities of Union
Carbide's disaster, ever since.
He was a founding trustee
of the Bhopal Medical Appeal, and
has been its managing trustee for
the last four years. Over
this time, the two clinics
supported by the Appeal in
Bhopal, Sambhayna and
Chingari, have helped
relieve the suffering of
thousands of gas and toxic
water-affected men, women and
children. They are the only
places in Bhopal where victims of
Union Carbide's gas and water
poisoning can receive medical
care free of cost."
••••
Prior
to the screening of the film,
actress Mischa Barton,
read a statement from one of her
co-stars in the film, Kal
Penn, who wasn't able to
attend, saying: "I wish I
could be with all of you tonight,
and thank you so much for
supporting independent cinema;
especially for supporting and
showcasing stories that are often
hard to tell, and include
marginalized communities and
world-events. We shot
Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain
six years ago. As an actor,
it's been a very emotionally
powerful ride, seeing audience's
reactions to the characters and
story, and having a chance to be
part of the dialogue after the
film. I know that Mischa,
Martin and Ravi were able to join
the conversation tonight. I
wish I could have been part of
it, but in that absence, really
wanted to thank you for the
support, and for including this
film and our wonderful cast and
filmmakers in the process.
Many heartfelt thanks to
all. -- Kal Penn"
• Key Note Speech
••••
Tim
Edwards, Executive Trustee of
Bhopal Medical Appeal delivered
the Keynote Speech, reflecting on
the current status of survivors
of the Bhopal tragedy over 30
years ago and what his
organization is doing to help
survivors of the tragedy.
•••
Edwards said, "We'll
shortly be watching the most
realistic recreation of Union
Carbide Corporation's Bhopal gas
disaster ever filmed. Ravi
(Kumar) approached me with his
script nine years ago, and I must
admit I had severe doubts it
could ever succeed. First,
the script depicts events for
which civil and criminal
liability are still being
contested in several courts. How
would it be possible to make an
engaging and truthful drama
whilst avoiding offense to the
victims or the accused?
••••
"Second,
the Bhopal disaster was of a
scale that defies ordinary
comprehension, never mind visual
framing. Thirty tons of
poisonous gas spread over five
square miles of a densely
populated city. Eight to
ten thousand people &endash; or
possibly more, there are no
precise figures &endash; dead
within three days. Over
570,000 surviving men, women and
children damaged permanently by a
cocktail of gases so toxic it
stripped the lining from their
lungs, ravaged their organs and
scrambled their chromosomes.
••••
"Third,
it's natural, when faced with an
excess of human suffering, to
shield our eyes, turnabout, and
console ourselves with the
thought, 'it is not I.' Who
would choose to watch? I'm
happy to say that my doubts were
proven false. Your presence
here tonight demonstrates that
there are people in this world
who will not turn away, and who
will not
forget.
••••
"And
(Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain
not only succeeds, it has given
the survivors of Bhopal the means
with which to make us all
remember. Critically, it
shows us how an organizational
culture driven by cost-cutting
whose chief decision makers live
far from the consequences of
their choices can lead to human
and environmental devastation.
The situation is neither
historical nor exceptional.
It's estimated that 100
million Americans live downwind
of toxic facilities today.
••••
"Just
six years ago, an explosion at
the former Union Carbide plant at
Institute, West Virginia, came so
close to igniting a large
stockpile of deadly MIC that a
Congressional enquiry concluded
the event could easily have been
'a catastrophe rivaling the
Bhopal disaster.' We must
never forget. Bhopal is a
disaster with a beginning, but no
end. It is happening still,
and it is happening now, even as
I speak these words to you.
It continues because pain
and illness attached to every
person the gas encountered.
They made acquaintance with
the unborn too, via parents'
blood, organs and genes.
The disaster ripples
through succeeding generations,
with no clear sense of where
Union Carbide ends, and nature
begins.
••••
"For
many years after the gas, there
was no help, and no hope.
The sound of hacking coughs
filled the slums around Carbide's
abandoned factory, from where
other lethal poisons were now
seeping. Mental illness was
at epidemic levels. With
tens of thousands of people too
ill to work, deep poverty was
rife. Medical studies
identified breathing problems,
dizziness, cramps, reproductive
disorders, growth retardation and
cancers to be connected to gas
exposure. But health
authorities continued to rely
upon antibiotics and steroids,
giving at best fleeting relief.
At worst, regular overuse
of strong pharmaceuticals
pummeled the bodies of those
whose compromised immune systems
had been likened to a form of
'chemical AIDS.'
••••
"Nor
did medical studies inform the
settlement offer India accepted
from Union Carbide in 1989 which
granted each victim the sum of
$500 for lifelong injuries.
Numerous survivors, already
punishingly poor, spent the
compensation they were due many
times over, before even receiving
it. Moneylenders feasted
upon the plenty of desperation.
The story of one the first
survivors I met, Mehboob Bi, will
never leave me. Her
marriage to Chand Miya had been a
love marriage: this fact
shone from the beautiful, beaming
wedding photo upon her wall.
Mehboob Bi looked stunning,
dressed in short kurta, two
plaits, and curls plastered to
the side of her cheeks. One
of her daughters said that she
looked like Mala Sinha, the film
star. 'No', said the
younger one, she's like Sadhna --
another film star.
••••
"When we met,
Mehboob Bi was in her late
thirties, but looked closer to
60. All youth and joy had
withered during the 14 years
she'd spent nursing her husband,
desperately trying to ease his
pains. Chand Miya had held
a prestigious job at Union
Carbide. 'We were so
happy,' she said. 'We used
to be well off &endash; but our
fate was written in Bhopal.
All of us breathed the gas
but he breathed the most trying
to help us. When he got
really ill and couldn't work we
ran short of money. He
often told me not to spend on his
medicines. I said, 'My
love, if we have life, we have
the world.' 'I will die,'
he said, 'don't waste your money
on me.' 'And he did.
He left me
alone.'
••••
"Realizing
that they had been abandoned by
all those with a duty of care,
Bhopal's survivors made the
decision to help themselves --
but they could not do it alone.
Our first Bhopal Medical
appeal, placed in a UK newspaper
20 years ago, was a cry of fury
and despair. Publication was
risked on the wavering hope that
this was not a world without
care. Nothing really
prepared us for what happened
next. People from all over
Britain responded in such numbers
that our volunteers were entirely
overwhelmed. Weeks passed
but supporters kept coming
forward, one after another, with
staggering, humbling
open-heartedness.
••••
"It amounted to a
wave of love, a wave that rolled
six thousand miles at great speed
and set in motion a fundamental
change to a situation of profound
despair. You should know
that nothing in Bhopal has quite
been the same since. Survivors
now had the means to participate
in their own healing. Their
new clinic, Sambhavna, chose the
Hippocratic dictum 'first do no
harm' as its first principle.
Over half the professional
staff would themselves be
gas-affected.
••••
"Later,
our charity also began to support
the Chingari Trust, an
organization begun by two women
survivors to rehabilitate
children being born damaged in
Bhopal. Doctors visiting
communities living around the
factory had observed they'd never
seen so many cases of cerebral
palsy in a single population.
The two survivors' clinics
have now given free award-winning
medical care to some 40,000
people who previously had nowhere
left to turn. They are the
only places where families with
damaged children can get free
medical treatment and remedial
therapy.
••••
"People with impaired
immune systems can react badly to
modern drugs so we combine safe
modern treatment with Ayurvedic
herbal medicine, massage and
yoga. Our volunteers help
control the spread of TB and
malaria and have won clean water
for 22 communities whose sources
were poisoned. Our health
workers administer the only
cervical screening program in the
whole city.
••••
"In Chingari today
you may see children who could
not stand, let alone walk or run,
playing happily with their
friends. Children once
unable to talk now chatter
fluently. We cherish the
fact that 21 of our special
children now go to normal
schools. The Bhopal Medical
Appeal's work, every bit of it,
is entirely dependent upon the
continued support of individuals,
individuals like you &endash;
without this, it will
vanish.
••••
"A colleague of mine,
Indra Sinha, wrote: 'A
great catastrophe, followed by
years of illness, poverty and
injustice, can overwhelm and
crush the human spirit, or it can
enable ordinary people to
discover that they are
extraordinary. Such people
find that they have the grit to
survive, the defiance to face
their persecutors, and the
courage to fight back. Out
of shared struggle, even in the
midst of terrible sickness, comes
strength, the joy of friendship,
the realization that they are not
weak, powerless or contemptible,
but possessed of great power
&endash; the power to bring about
political change, to do real good
in their community and in the
world.
••••
"To everybody involved in
the making of Bhopal: A
Prayer for Rain, to everyone who
worked so hard to make this
wonderful event possible, and to
each of you here in attendance I
want to say a heartfelt thank you
on behalf of our charity, the
Bhopal Medical Appeal, but most
of all on behalf of our thousands
of service users in Bhopal.
Thank you for choosing to
be a part of that
change."

• Bhopal: A Prayer For
Rain
••••
directed and co-written by
Ravi Kumar, is a drama based on
true events leading up to
December 3, 1984 when a pesticide
leak at Union Carbide located
Bhopal, Central India killed
thousands of people in a few
hours, while causing serious
health problems for many others.
Starring Martin Sheen,
Mischa Barton, Kal Penn, Rajpal
Yadav and Tannishtha Chatterjee,
the film examines the tragic
aftermath of what is still
considered to this day, over 30
years later, as the world's worst
industrial disaster. The
96-minute feature film was
produced by Sahara Movie Studios
and Rising Star
Entertainment.
••••
Katharine "Kat" Kramer,
Founder of Kat Kramer's Films
That Change The World said, "This
year, I am proud to announce, I
will be presenting three socially
significant films as part of my
Seventh Annual Film Series.
The series will kick off
with the film, Bhopal: A Prayer
For Rain, a vivid depiction of
the world's worst industrial
disaster in history at Union
Carbide in Bhopal, India in 1984
and the aftermath the calamity
caused, and is still considered
to this day, over 30 years later,
as the world's worst industrial
disaster. The 96-minute
feature film was produced by
Sahara Movie Studios and Rising
Star Entertainment.
• Keynote Speaker Tim
Edwards-
Executive Trustee of the Bhopal
Medical Appeal, will be flying in
from London to speak about the
current status of his
organization helping ill
survivors who are still dealing
with serious health issues as a
result of the disaster, which
happened over 30 years ago.
••••
Kramer continued,
"This summer I will screen my
second installment in this year's
cinema series, Jenni Gold's
CinemaAbility, an award-winning
documentary tracing the history
of how characters with
disabilities are portrayed in
film and on television.
• Marsha Hunt-
The First Annual 'Marsha Hunt For
Humanity Award,' will presented
to the person the award is named
for, the legendary actress Marsha
Hunt, whose courage and
determination to speak out for
causes she believes in, and to
help affect change, are nothing
short of remarkable.
••••
In 1947 during the House
on Un-American Activities
congressional committee's
investigation of Communist
influence in motion pictures, Ms.
Hunt was one of a group of
like-minded Hollywood actors who
flew to Washington, D.C. to speak
up in support of The Hollywood
Ten who were being scrutinized by
the House on Un-American
Activities as Communist
supporters.
••••
As a result of her
actions, Ms. Hunt was blacklisted
in Hollywood for at least a
decade in the prime of her career
as an actress. Ms. Hunt's
accomplishments both as an
actress, and as a social activist
to affect positive changes for
the many causes she has
championed during her lifetime
will be recognized at our event
on April 10th with great
fanfare."

"Udo Kier is an actor who leaves
a lasting impression, no matter
what the role," said festival

paid off. Udo Kier himself is a
work of art."

CineMerit Award for Udo

Will
the real Stephen Colbert please
stand up.
After much speculation, and
exactly a week after David
Letterman announced his plans to
retire, the fast-sprung news has
settled in that Stephen Colbert,
the host, writer and executive
producer of "The Colbert Report,"
will replace Dave Letterman as
host of the "Late Show" in 2015.
Now that leaves us with the
question, what character is going
play the host." CBS CEO Les
Moonves explained that Cobert
would not host the show as
blustering character. "What
you're going to get is the real
Stephen Colbert." "He said it's
time to do something different.
If he's going to be on our air
for 20 years, as we all hope,
it's not humanly possible to keep
that character going.
••••
We've seen
who the real Colbert is from time
to time, and it's that guy that
would make for a perfectly
serviceable late-night talk show
host. On the few occasions he's
broken with character
-- appearing as a guest on
other talk shows, for instance --
he seems like a down-to-earth,
likable and still very funny
man.
••••
He and his
Colber Report writing team are so
sophisticated in their humor that
it literally took years for many
viewers to understand that the
self-aggrandizing, and often
self-contradicting conservative
posturing was a joke.
••a•
Satire
demands a high level of
discomfort from its audience and
Colbert is a comedian who
believes that humor works best
when it has something to say. And
much of what Stepehen Colbert has
said is quite impressive.
••••
Though he
like Leno and Letterman, will no
doubt deal with politics, he will
have to soften his barbs. It is
difficult, however, to imagine
Colbert giving up radical nuns
and fascinating scientists to
spend night after night chatting
with A listers with movies to
tout. More problematic is how, or
rather if, his polictical and
religious hmuor and general
comedic ruthlessness will play on
CBS. Let's wait and see, come
1915.

says Troy Cory in a recent

understanding that Art Rupe's
very first taste of the record

a songwriter, record producer and
his UCLA classmate. They started

purpose of the news release and to the
monetary / political issues surrounding
the event.
