The NATPE brand has long been
recognized as a one-stop-shop in the global content

About Barbara Morrision:
Barbara Morrison, a multiple Grammy Award-nominated
Vocalist and Founder of The Barbara Morrison Performing Arts
Center, was born in Ypsilanti, MI and raised in Romulus, MI.
She recorded her first appearance on radio in Detroit
at the age of 10. Well known in the Los Angeles area
for her duo and trio dates Morrison also tours extensively,
blazing a trail as a Jazz and Blues legend in her own right
across the Continental United States, Western Europe the Far
East and "Down Under," wowing audiences with her band, The
Bu Crew.
Recently she embarked on a 33-city tour of the United
States, co-headlining in an all-star tribute to legendary
composer Harold Arlen (most recognizable as the genius
behind the music for the classic film, The Wizard of Oz).
Morrison is now celebrating her 60th year in the music
industry. Over the years she has performed with a
virtual "Who's Who" of the Jazz and the Blues worlds. That
list includes legends like: Dizzy Gillespie, Ray

for producing a jazz album for Al McKibbon.
Morrison performs in a wide array of genres from

AFI Fest joins an array of festivals and conventions in
going virtual in
2020.
The revised fall festival corridor in
the age of COVID has continued to take shape with recent
announcements of hybrid virtual/physical events from Venice,
Toronto and New York, along with the outright cancellation
of Telluride. Now, L.A.'s own AFI Fest will officially
be a virtual event when it takes place Oct. 15-22.
Continuing their Thursday to Thursday
run but moving up a month from their most recent dates in
November, festival organizers plan to have much of the same
programming structure as in past years, including sections
dedicated to world cinema and new auteurs. According to
Michael Lumpkin, director of AFI festivals, where other
festivals are drastically scaling back the number of films
being screened, AFI Fest will likely only have a 10% to 20%
reduction in the number of titles presented, if any
reduction at all. (The event screened more than 140 titles
in 2019.)
The organizers of AFI Fest have one
advantage over other fall fests making the switch to virtual
events -- they have already done it. The AFI Docs festival,
based out of Washington, D.C., took place in June with
ticketed virtual screenings and events. Michael Lumpkin,
director of AFI Festials, noted that attendance was actually
higher than in years past, drawing viewers from all 50
states, without the logistics of theater bookings and seat
capacity.

COVID-19 pandemic. After being postponed from April to
October, the 25th Festival of Books, Stories & Ideas
will take place as a communitywide gathering online instead
of being held on the University of Southern California
campus, The Times announced.
The virtual event launches Sunday,
October 18, and continuing over the course of four weeks,
The Times will celebrate storytelling with author panels,
readings, and other events.
Over the years, festivalgoers have
listened to Eric Carle read about a ravenous caterpillar;
the late Congressman John Lewis discuss his lifelong work
for racial equality; Julie Andrews reminisce about the Swiss
Alps; Luis J. Rodriguez wax poetic about life in Los
Angeles; Viet Thanh Nguyen expound reclaiming historical
narratives; Padma Lakshmi dish on food and life.
This year, the festival will make
that kind of inspiration accessible from home.
The programming schedule will be
announced in mid-September. For details, go

CES
2021 Canceled Over COVID-19, Moves to Online
Format
The Consumers Electronics Show (CES) 2021, originally
slated for January 6-9-2021 will not be held in Las Vegas,
but presented "an all-digital experience," according to the
show organizer, the Consumer Technology Association (
CTA).
The show takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center,
which is located just off the Strip and attracts thousands
of attendees every year, bolstering the economy and
employing many along the way.
Industry professionals get a look at the latest and greatest
in consumer technology and products before they're available
for purchase to the general public. Typically, Las Vegas
hotel rooms are filled to capacity and restaurants, casinos,
and other nearby businesses reap the benefits.
"With the growing global health concerns about the spread of
COVID-19, it is not possible to safely convene tens of
thousands of people in Las Vegas in early January 2021 to
meet and do business in person.
"An all-digital CES 2021 will allow the entire tech
community to safely share ideas and introduce the products
that will shape our future. You'll be able to participate in
all the awe-inspiring moments of CES wherever you are in the
world. We are designing a unique experience for the tech
industry."
The digital CES experience will include keynotes and
conferences, an online product showcase, meetings, and
opportunities for networking. It will take place the first
week of January.
Any show planned for 2020 has been
canceled," says President of Creative Strategies Tim
Bajarin, who has attended 46 CES shows. "I don't think we'll
see live shows coming back until mid-2021 at the
earliest."
Apple successfully moved its Worldwide Developers Conference
online.
The Black Hat USA security conference, which provides
security consulting, training, and briefings to hackers,
corporations and government agencies, has moved online; it's
set for early August. Dreamforce, the meeting put on by
Salesforce that has previously taken over San Francisco, is
set for November. And the bulk of the Republican and
Democratic political conventions are expected to occur
online
Virtual shows, however, haven't found
their usual assortment of buzz and media coverage online.
The recent Comic-Con convention, a huge draw for fans of
sci-fi and geek culture, was a "bust" according to
Variety.

2021
Roseparade canceled because of the
coronavirus
PASADENA, CA,
(July 15, 2020) The 132nd
Tournament of Roses Parade will not take place on Jan. 1,
2021, because of the coronavirus pandemic, parade officials
announced Wednesday morning. It's the first time in 75 years
that the parade has been
canceled.
The last time the parade was canceled
since its inception in 1891, was only three times &endash;
the wartime years of 1942, 1943 and 1945.
"Like most people having never lived
through a pandemic before parade officials initially hoped
they'd be able to hold the parade safely but after weeks of
assessment it became clear such a feat would be impossible.
Instead the Tournament of Roses is looking into options for
celebrating the new year in a new way.
With reluctance and tremendous disappointment, the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses Association announces that, in
accordance with Governor Newsom's Phase IV re-opening
schedule, and after thoughtful consideration of the
restrictions and guidelines in place as a result of
COVID-19, we are unable to host the 2021 Rose Parade.
"The health and well-being of our parade participants and
guests, as well as that of our volunteer members,
professional staff and partners, is our number one
priority," said Bob Miller, 2021 President of the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses Association.
While the parade itself is more than five months from now,
the preparation for such a large event typically begins in
February. "In addition to the advance planning required by
our band and equestrian units, the construction of our
floats takes many months and typically requires thousands of
volunteers to gather in ways that aren't in compliance with
safety recommendations and won't be safe in the coming
months," said David Eads, Executive Director/CEO. "While we
are extremely disappointed that we are unable to host the
parade, we believe that not doing so will prevent the spread
of COVID-19, as well as protect the legacy of the Rose
Parade for generations to come."
The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association also hosts the
Rose Bowl Game each January 1. The planning for this year's
Rose Bowl Game, which will serve as a College Football
Playoff Semifinal, is still ongoing. "We continue to work
with the College Football Playoff and our collegiate
partners to explore what this year's college football season
will look like amidst COVID-19 and social distancing
guidelines. While the safety and well-being of the student
athletes, university personnel and fans is our top priority,
we remain hopeful that the Granddaddy of Them All will take
place on New Year's Day," continued Eads.
"I know that I speak on behalf of our 935 volunteer members,
and the hundreds of thousands in our community for which the
Rose Parade is an annual tradition, when I say we will miss
the joy of coming together and the making of memories," said
Miller. "But know that we will not miss this opportunity to
celebrate a New Year and healthy new beginnings on January
1, 2021."
"We all know what the Rose Parade means to us here in
Pasadena, as well as to New Year celebrations around the
world. To know that we won't get to experience this great
tradition on January 1, 2021, is extremely disappointing.
However, we also know that we must act responsibly to
protect our community in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic,"
said Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek. "We look forward to
working with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses on their
reimagined New Year celebration, as well as the return of
the Rose Parade on January 1, 2022."
In considering the options for the 2021 Rose Parade, the
Tournament of Roses commissioned a feasibility and safety
report for hosting the Rose Parade during the COVID-19
Pandemic, conducted by public health experts from the Keck
School of Medicine of USC. That report showed that even with
intensive effort to ensure compliance with public health
measures such as six-foot distancing and face masks, it is
likely that Rose Parade activities before, during and after
the event would inevitably lead to large numbers of
individuals (many of whom represent high risk groups for
COVID-19 complications, such as retirees over age 60) in
close proximity to each other, potentially, in some cases,
without masks. This creates a high-risk environment for
viral spread, including super-spreader events.
Although the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association will
not be hosting its 132nd Rose Parade, they will
celebrate the New Year on January 1, 2021. Working in
conjunction with our broadcast partners and sponsors, the
Tournament of Roses has plans underway for a new kind of New
Year celebration for those across the country and around the
world. "Each year, the country turns its eyes to Pasadena
for America's New Year celebration and we plan to deliver on
that important promise," said Eads. "We may not be able to
host our traditional five-mile march down Colorado
Boulevard, but we are exploring new and safe ways we can
collectively share in the celebration, and we look forward
to announcing further details about our exciting new plans
in the coming weeks."
Decisions regarding some other traditions, such as the
crowning of the Tournament of Roses Royal Court, haven't
been made yet. A spokeswoman said "in the next few weeks,
we'll make an announcement about the Royal Court and the
theme and the tournament leadership."
The Rose Bowl football game on Jan. 1, however, is still
planned, whether it is with a socially distanced audience or
an empty stadium, Eads said.

SMPTE Transforms Its Annual Technical Conference and
Exhibition Into an Immersive, Interactive Remote
Experience
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- June 22,
2020 -- The
Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers®,
(SMPTE®) the organization
that is defining the future of storytelling, will host its
annual technical conference and exhibition on Nov. 10-12 as
an interactive and immersive remote experience with a rich
array of learning and networking opportunities. Within this
highly customizable online format, SMPTE 2020 will provide
unparalleled opportunities for attendees to explore the
variety of new technologies and business models shaping the
future of media and entertainment. The theme for this year's
event is "Game On," with one full day focused on the
convergence of esports/gaming and media technology and the
unique requirements of the thriving esports industry.
"By eliminating traditional barriers to participation such
as travel, the cost of accommodation, and scheduling
conflicts, we're making SMPTE 2020 a broadly accessible and
truly global conference," explained SMPTE Executive Director
Barbara Lange. "We look forward to increased participation
from all SMPTE Sections around the world."
Attendees will be welcomed into an immersive environment
that incorporates a main conference hub, meeting rooms for a
chance to "ask the experts," theater space for sessions and
the annual Awards Gala, and an exhibition hall with private
meeting space. SMPTE 2020 will offer flexibility in
accessing technical presentations, practical hands-on
training, product and technology demonstrations, peer-group
discussions, virtual panels, and sponsored roundtable
discussions, as well as networking events, social hours, and
even trivia and esports competitions.
Like last year's conference, SMPTE 2020 will include the
popular SMPTE Storytellers series, expanded technical
tutorials and training, and programming from SMPTE partners.
New content will include bite-sized keynotes, quick
"Standards 101" sessions, and shorter hot-topic discussions
that allow attendees to build a custom conference experience
that suits their own schedules and interests.

115- "We Are One' Online Film Festival" will kick off on
Youtube, May 29.
There are around 3,000 film festivals currently
active (i.e. ran in the past two years) 9,706 film
festivals have run at least once in the last 15
years.
The majority of film festivals do charge for
submissions (an average of $27 for short films and
$40 for feature films), but this isn't their main
source of
income.
One reason
advertisers like film festivals is that festival attendees
tend to have plenty of money to spend. For example, at
Sundance, over 50% of attendees have a household income of
$100,000, while 26% have a household income of over
$200,000.
Arguably there is not a single major film
festival but, the most prestigious film
festivals include Cannes, Berlin, and Venice film
festival, sometimes called "The
Big Three."
The major
film festivals
include
"Venice International Film Festival"
"The Cannes Film Festival" -- France; "Tribeca Film
Festival" -- New York.; "Taormina Film Fest" -- Sicily;
"Sundance Film Festival"-- Park City, Utah; "SXSW Film
Festival " -- Austin, Texas; "Berlin International Film
Festival" and "TIFF" Toronto,
Canada.
The oldest
film festival in the world, founded in 1932, is the
Venice Film Festival. Since World War II, film
festivals have contributed significantly to the
development of the motion-picture industry in many
countries.
Tribeca
And YouTube Join Forces to stream 'We Are One' Online Film
Festival.
With
the film festival calendar thrown into chaos
by COVID-19 and major events canceled, Tribeca
Enterprises and YouTube are teaming up to present
a 10-day streaming event drawing from 20 global fests,
including Cannes, Toronto, Sundance and
Venice.
The online
showcase, dubbed "We Are One: A Global Film Festival,"
will kick off on YouTube on May 29. Its lineup of films,
shorts, documentaries, music, comedy, and conversations will
be released at a later date, organizers said.
All programming will be free for
audiences to stream. Donations will benefit the World Health
Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and local
relief partners in various parts of the world.

Cannes Film Festival Finally Admits It Won't Happen This
Summer
APR. 16, 2020 -- As
huge theme parks and whole sports
leagues around the world pause operations to mitigate
the spread of COVID-19, the Cannes Film Festival, as the
essential pillar for the film industry, has been reluctant
to make an official declaration about this year's event.
Today, though, organizers finally acquiesced and released a
statement saying that even a delay until the summer (Cannes
was scheduled to begin on May 12) would not allow the
festival to go on with all its typical pageantry.
"We acknowledge that the postponement
of the 73rd International Cannes Film Festival, initially
considered for the end of June to the beginning of July, is
no longer an option," reads a statement released by the
organizers. Cannes "must explore all contingencies allowing
to support the year of Cinema by making Cannes 2020 real, in
one way or another."

Venice Film Festival is going forward as planned
With conventions, festivals, albums,
concerts, and more being pushed to the fall or canceled
entirely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Venice Film
Festival is sticking to its plans for September 2 - 12.
In a recent interview with the
Italian wire service ANSA, Venice Biennial president Roberto
Cicutto once again confirmed the September 2 to12 dates for
the 77th Venice Film Festival and downplayed plans for a
Venice without Cannes Film Festival collaboration.
Strict social distancing regulations
forced the Cannes Film Festival to postpone this
year's event, once to mid-July and a second time
indefinitely. While Cannes director Thierry Fremaux
suggested that Venice Film Fest and Cannes may
combine their efforts, Roberto Cicutto told ANSA that there
is no "hypothesis" for a collaboration at this time. "We are
going forward with our program, and if Cannes is still
thinking (about their course of action) then there is no
dialogue."
Meanwhile, Venice is exploring
options to make sure its September festival can still
happen, including a digital option for foreign press and
potentially using cinemas. They've given themselves until
May to figure all that out, which seems to be the new rule
of thumb for all coronavirus-related timelines. Remember
back when it was April? As the oldest film festival in the
world, Venice may be at a higher risk for the coronavirus,
but it is not going down without a fight.

"My Salinger Year,"
kicked off the Berlin Int'l Film Festival - 18 films are
vying for the Golden
Bear
BERLIN --
The 70th annual Berlin
International Film Festival known as "the Berlinale" is
currently taking place from 20 February to 1 March 2020. It
is the first under the leadership of new Berlin Film
Festival heads, business administration director Mariette
Rissenbeek and artistic director Carlo Chatrian who
took over from Dieter Kosslick last year.
The Berlinale is a
unique place of artistic exploration and entertainment. It
is one of the largest public film festivals in the world,
attracting tens of thousands of visitors from around the
globe each year. For the film industry and the media, the
eleven days in February are also one of the most important
events in the annual calendar and an indispensable trading
forum
The Festival got off to a somber
start after news of a racially motivated mass shooting
Wednesday night in the Frankfurt neighboring German city of
Hanau rocked the country.
"I
wanted to say something about the 70th anniversary of the
Berlinale, but events in Hanau hit us all hard," said
Berlinale executive director Mariette Rissenbeek.
Artistic
director Carlo Chatrian added: "We stand here as a
community. When we sit in the cinema, there is no
distinction between class or religion. Cinema brings us
together."
The
opening night kicked off with the screening of Philippe
Falardeau's "My Salinger Year," starring Sigourney Weaver
and Margaret Qualley, who attended the premiere.
Philippe
Falardeau also paid respects to the Hanau shootings, which
claimed 11 lives, telling the audience, "I want to convey my
unflinching solidarity with the German people in these
troubled times," adding his hope that the film might "give
you a little light."
Hosting
the show, actor Samuel Finzi offered an often politically
pointed speech that focused largely on the plight of
immigrants and on his own life as a Bulgarian native in
Berlin.
"We
shouldn't isolate ourselves and build walls," Finzi
said.
"Perhaps there is someone trying to come here that will be a
great German hope. Cinema is about shared experiences."
Finzi
replaced long-time host Anke Engelke, a Canadian-German
comedian.
Some
pointed out the change in tone between last year and this
year's ceremony. Dieter Kosslick was known for his
larger-than-life personality, and his antics seemed to be
missed on stage, in contrast to the more serious, nature of
the festival's new co-directors.
Later
in the evening, German culture minister Monika Grütters
also took the stage and delivered a rousing anti-terror
message that brought the crowd to its feet -- one of
the ceremony's few highlights.
Also in attendance was Johnny Depp who arrived at
the Berlin Film Festival Friday to support the
film "Minamata," in which he plays celebrated war
photographer W. Eugene Smith. In the film, based on real
events, Smith is pitted against a powerful corporation
responsible for poisoning with mercury the people of
Minamata in Japan in 1971.
At the film's press conference, Depp said he had a "strange
fascination" with Smith and his photography, which was
enhanced when he'd "read a bit about his life and what he'd
gone through, what he'd experienced, what he'd sacrificed to
capture those moments, to capture those photos."
Over
the next 10 days, the Berlinale will screen 18 films that
are vying for the Golden Bear, among them Kelly Reichardt's
"First Cow," Mohammad Rasoulof's "There Is No Evil," Natalia
Meta's "The Intruder," and Burhan Qurbani's "Berlin
Alexanderplatz."

Homage
and Honorary Golden Bear 2020 for Helen
Mirren
The 70th Berlin International Film
Festival honored Oscar-winner Dame Helen Mirren with
its Homage and awarded her the Honorary Golden
Bear (German: Goldener Bär) for her lifetime
achievement.
The award ceremony included a
screening of "The Queen" (2006, dir: Stephen
Frears).
With the Honorary Golden Bear, the
Berlinale pays tribute to important figures in the world of
film. The award is presented for an exceptional artistic
career and is given to the guest of honour of
the Homage.
Not only is Helen Mirren one of the
world's most renowned actresses, she was also one of the
youngest ever to join the famed Royal Shakespeare Company.
Over the decades, her range as an actress have been amply
demonstrated in a wide variety of genres.
Among the many accolades Mirren has
received the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress and Golden
Globe for her performance in The Queen. In addition to
many international film prizes, her stage work has also been
honored with the leading theatre tributes &endash; the
Olivier Award, Tony and Drama Desk Awards. In 2003, Helen
Mirren was awarded the title of Dame Commander of the Order
of the British Empire (DBE) for her services to drama.
After working mainly in theatre,
including with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Mirren's first
major film role was in Michael Powell's 1969 comedy Age of
Consent. She subsequently made her mark in 1980's "The
Long Good Friday" (dir: John Mackenzie), playing the
assertive girlfriend of a top gangster. Her portrayal of
Georgina in Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, the Thief, His
Wife & Her Lover" (1989) was also legendary.
Beginning in the 1990s, Helen Mirren increasingly expanded
and diversified her roles in both film and television, among
them Robert Altman's 2001 Gosford Park (Berlinale 2002). Her
flair for comedy was once again in evidence with "Calendar
Girls" (2003, dir: Nigel Cole). Between 1991 and 2006, she
headed up the seven instalments of the TV series "Prime
Suspect" as police superintendent Jane Tennison.
In "The
Last Station" (2009), directed by Michael Hoffmann, she
played Leo Tolstoy's wife Sofya. She was at the Berlinale in
2015, alongside co-star Ryan Reynolds, with "Woman in Gold"
(dir: Simon Curtis). Since then, she has appeared onscreen
in "Eye in the Sky" (2015, dir: Gavin Hood) and "The Leisure
Seeker" (2017, dir: Paolo Virzì) among others.
Mirren
gives another terrific performance in the thriller "The
Good Liar" (dir: Bill Condon), co-starring with Ian
McKellen, which recently opened theatrically in Germany and
will also be shown in the Homage section.
The Homage films:
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her
Lover, UK / France / Netherlands 1989, director: Peter
Greenaway
The Good Liar, USA 2019, director: Bill Condon
The Last Station, Germany / UK / Russia 2009, director:
Michael Hoffmann
The Long Good Friday, UK 1980, director: John Mackenzie
The Queen, UK / France / Italy 2006, director: Stephen
Frears
As a partner of the Berlin
International Film Festival for many years, the Deutsche
Kinemathek has, since 1977, mounted
the Homage section in addition to
the Retrospective.
The
Retrospective is the Berlinale's film history programme. In
Berlinale Classics, digitally restored film classics and
rediscoveries celebrate their premieres. The Homage and the
Honorary Golden Bear pay tribute to a great film personality
for their lifetime's achievement.

Billie Eilish makes history, sweeping all four major
categories at 2020 Grammy 115-
Grammy Awards focuses on new
stars
January, the month of awards in Hollywood, is ending with
the 62nd Grammy Awards taking place on Sunday, January 26,
at the Staples Center, Los Angeles. The live awards will air
at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on
CBS.
The 2020 Grammy Awards is focusing largely on up-and-coming
stars but that may become overshadowed by controversy
surrounding allegations made by Deborah Dugan, the former
head of the Grammys, in her lawsuit against the National
Academy of Recording Arts.
This was set to be the first edition
of the Grammy Awards that the new Recording Academy
President Deborah Dugan would have presided over;
however, she was relieved of her duties as President and CEO
and placed on administrative leave from the organization on
January 16, 2020. Recording Academy Chairman Harvey
Mason Jr. took over as interim President and Chief
Executive Officer. He is currently slated to preside over
the ceremony instead of
Dugan
After her critically
lauded run as emcee of last year's
GRAMMYs,
15-time
Grammy winner Alicia
Keys is returning to host the main
telecast.
She is only the fifth woman to host
the Grammys and the first woman of color to host it twice.
Before Keys, Queen Latifah hosted in 2005, while Rosie
O'Donnell took on the duties in 1999 and 2000. Ellen
DeGeneres hosted in 1996 and 1997. During last year's Grammy
Awards, Keys stole the show as host. The theater audience
and viewers at home raved over the musician's melodic
performance, during which she impressively played two pianos
at once. Whoopie Goldberg was the first woman ever to host
the event, in
1992.
Aerosmith was honored
as the MusiCares Person of the
Year two nights prior to the telecast.

17th
Brandon Tartikoff Award at NATPE, Founainebleau,
Miami Beach
The recipients of NATPE's 17th Annual Brandon Tartikoff
Legacy Awards are award-winning actress Christine
Baranski, ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke,
prolific television creator, producer and
writer Courtney A. Kemp, President of NBCUniversal's
Telemundo Global Studios, Marcos Santana, and Chairman,
WarnerMedia News and Sports & President, CNN
Worldwide Jeff Zucker. They will receive the
prestigious awards during the NATPE Miami 2020 convention
during a dinner gala on January 22, 2020, at the
Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The dinner, with its
A-list attendees, benefits the NATPE Educational Foundation,
with a portion going to the Broadcasters Federation of
America (BFOA). Bob Holmes is returning as Executive
Producer of the show.
Named in honor of Brandon Tartikoff, one of television's
greatest programmers, the Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Awards
were created to recognize an exceptional ensemble of
professionals who exhibit extraordinary passion, leadership,
independence and vision in content programming. Brandon had
an unmatched love for television, life and family. He will
always be remembered among the most gifted programmers of
his generation.
Past honorees include Steven Bochco, James Burrows, Jon
Feltheimer, Jane Fonda, Bob Greenblatt, David Kelly, Norman
Lear, Chuck Lorre, Regis Philbin, Peter Roth, Josh Sapan,
Ted Sarandos, Dick Wolf, and Betty White, among others.
Proceeds from the program will be donated to the NATPE
Educational Foundation and the Broadcasters Foundation of
America.
The NATPE Educational Foundation was launched in 1978 by the
late Lew Klein to promote educational activities and focuses
on faculty development, recognizing that improving faculty
knowledge translates into a better classroom experiences for
students and thus has impacted thousands of students, some
of whom now have illustrious careers in the industry.
Christine Baranski is an Emmy, two-time Tony, Screen
Actors Guild, Drama Desk and American Comedy Award winner.
Baranski currently stars as Diane Lockhart in the critically
acclaimed CBS All Access original series "The Good Fight," a
role she originated on CBS' "The Good Wife." Other
television credits include her Emmy-winning role on
"Cybill," "The Big Bang Theory" and "Frasier." Film credits
include: "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again", "A Bad Moms
Christmas," "Mamma Mia!" "Trolls," "Miss Sloane," "Into the
Woods," "Chicago," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas,"
"Bowfinger," "Bulworth," "Cruel Intentions" and "The
Birdcage," among others. She will next be seen in the
Netflix feature "Christmas on the Square." A graduate of the
Juilliard School, Baranski received her big break in Tom
Stoppard's hit Broadway comedy "The Real Thing," directed by
Mike Nichols, for which she won a Tony Award and Drama Desk
Award.
Karey Burke is responsible for all development,
programming, casting, marketing, business affairs and
scheduling operations for ABC prime time and late-night. She
reports to Dana Walden, chairman, Disney Television Studios
and ABC Entertainment. One year into her tenure, Burke has
developed some the most buzzed-about live events of the
year, including "Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman
Lear's 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons,'" which has
reached more than 23 million total viewers on broadcast
alone, and won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special
(Live), the only major category win this year for a
broadcast network; and "The Wonderful World of Disney
presents: The Little Mermaid Live!" &endash; the
highest-rated live broadcast musical in four years.
Additionally, The Oscars and CMA Awards have posted double
digits gains vs. the prior year. For the first time ever,
"The Bachelorette" was the No. 1 TV series of the summer,
and the network's "Summer Fun & Games" drove ABC to
regain the title as the No. 1 network for summer for the
first time in 24 years. Burke is also delivering on
her promise of female-forward programming, with new series
"Stumptown," "Emergence" and the No. 1 new comedy of the
season, "mixed-ish"; all three shows rank in the top five
new fall series (based on L7). Prior to her role as
President of ABC Entertainment, Burke was executive vice
president, Programming and Development at Freeform, where
she was charged with overseeing all scripted and unscripted
development and current original programming, in addition to
casting and talent development. Burke was also responsible
for creating and executing a cohesive programming strategy
for multiplatform distribution, and accelerating and
amplifying the high-quality, brand-defining content for
which Freeform is known. During her tenure, she had great
success building on Freeform's strong foundation, delivering
the No. 1 new cable comedy and No. 1 new cable drama of 2018
for the network's target audience of W18-34 with "grown-ish"
and "Siren." She also continued Freeform's dominance as the
No. 1 most social cable channel.
Courtney A. Kemp is a highly regarded creator,
showrunner, and producer in the television industry. Kemp is
the creative force behind Starz's critically acclaimed
gritty New York drama, Power which is currently in
its sixth and final season. Under Kemp's fearless leadership
as series creator and showrunner, Power has
consistently over-performed in viewership and continues to
elevate itself above its competition in an oversaturated
television landscape. Power, Starz's most watched
original series to date, currently boasts an average weekly
multiplatform viewership of over 10 million, making it the
second-most-watched series on premium cable. While the
series will soon wrap up its sixth and final season,
the Power cinematic universe that Kemp has built
will continue for many years to come, with the first spinoff
series, Power Book II: Ghost, written and created by
Kemp and starring superstar Mary J. Blige, set to debut next
year.
Marcos Santana is the President of NBCUniversal

Annual
Critics' Choice Awards, January
12
The
night's top prize for best picture went to "Once Upon A Time
... In Hollywood."
Hollywood gathered Sunday night at the Barker Hangar at
the Santa Monica Airport, to celebrate the best in
television and film at the 25th annual Critics' Choice
Awards, hosted by Taye Diggs.
Eddie Murphy received a lifetime achievement award, while
Kristen Bell, who was honored with the #SeeHer Award, moved
the audience with an inspiring speech.
"My
immediate reaction is always to answer with words like
'strong' and 'brave' and 'powerful,' but if I'm being
honest, to me, being a woman is not about being brave or
being strong or being powerful. It's not about being
anything specific," Bell said. "It's just about giving
yourself permission to be the things that you already are,
which seems very easy, but it is not. Because women have
been conditioned to fit into boxes; usually tiny, pretty,
sparkly boxes with bows on the
them."

AHHH.... Autumn in Cannes... where mild breezes blow as the
warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this beautiful spot on
the Cote d'Azur. There you can feel a timeless sensuality,
assuaging a nostalgia for the Mediterranean which since as
far back as the 16th century has been a constant theme in
many a Northern European's life.
"Now give us lands where the olives grow," Cried the North
to the South, "Where the sun with a golden mouth can blow
bubbles of grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the North to
the South (to borrow a phrase from the English writer
Elizabeth Barret Browning.)
"Cannes," wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and
erudite historian of maritime Provence, in 1880, " is a town
where you feel no need to work," and where the inhabitants
were not interested in the world that lay beyond their shady
gardens, or the sheltered balconys of their hotels. Now the
world has come to Cannes, chosen to be the Mediterranean
headquarters for its annual events, and when you stroll
along the Croisette on some warm October day you will hardly
share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Cannes has emerged quite
cosmopolitan.
115-
CANNES, the jewel among festival
towns
Cannes is host to the annual Festival
de Cannes, as well as MIDEM, MIP TV and MICOM
(Marché
International des Programmes de Communication,
owned and organized by Reed
MIDEM).
It's been 32 years since TVI under
Cory's ownership first covered MIPCOM in 1987.
Although Cannes has remained the quintessential market
place, despite enormous changes in the cinema, television
and social media landscape, it was more casual back in 1987,
of course. You could hang out with studio executives without
much planning or go see a performer in his hotel room and
spend the afternoon in discussing the latest video. There
was no "French day," the interview period now set aside so
French journalists can get their stories before everyone
else.
And many things were simpler. Though it sounds paradoxical,
even getting stories back to my TVI Magazine -- it was less
time-consuming in that pre-computer age. The festival
headquarters had a room where telex operators who spoke not
a word of English -- took your typewritten copy, grunted
something unintelligible and transmitted it to the U.S.
without a hitch.
Since then, Cannes has only gotten bigger. Though we now
live in an age when films can be viewed via links and
streamed on computers anywhere in the world, the number of
journalists covering the 4-day affair has multiplied.
Cannes got off the ground after World War II with the Cannes
Film Festival, and followed by tv markets MIPTV and VIDCOM,
later MIPCOM when the market festival also responded to the
advent of home video technology, including VCRs, DVDs and
Blu-ray. As those new formats drove interest in older films
and tv series and both French and American distributors
wanted a platform to publicize their plans to re-release
classics.
Cannes is not just a festival that screens rarefied films.
It also hosts a major market, known officially as the Marche
du Film (established in 1959) held annually in conjunction
with the Festival de Cannes, where about 4,000 films are
shown to buyers from more than 100 countries. Here, deals
are cut to bring movies to theaters in countries around the
world or to release them on video or in digital formats.
This kind of willingness and ability to literally pay the
price to keep the festival relevant is a through-line in
Cannes' response to challenges. The event's annual budget is
a staggering 20 million euros, roughly $26 million, and half
of that comes from governmental tax funds. The French public
considers film to be part of its cultural patrimony and is
quite willing to foot the bill to be the best.
Part of that money goes to making the city as pleasant as it
can be for festival visitors. Two months before the event
begins, flowers get planted so they will bloom on schedule.
One of the treats of getting to Cannes early is watching
enormous cranes place huge, blossom-filled concrete planters
into strategic positions along the Riviera.
Given how easy it is to see films these days without leaving
your room, why do people continue to spend such considerable
time, energy and money to go to Cannes?
Because, despite the billions of dollars involved, the movie
and television business remains a personal one, where
relationships count and seeing people face to face from time
to time is essential. Cannes has made sure that there's no
place better to do that than Cannes. What was true in 1946
is still true today: Everyone goes to Cannes because
everyone else is there. No other place can make that claim,
not even close.

Antonio Banderas receives CineMerit Award at Munich Film
Festival
Actor
Antonio Banderas who recently won the Best Actor trophy at
last month's Cannes Film Festival for his performance in the
Pedro Almodovar-directed film will be honoured with the
CineMerit award at the 37th edition of Munich International
Film Festival.
CineMerit
Award is handed to outstanding personalities in the
international film community for extraordinary contributions
to motion pictures as an art form.
Banderas
began his film career in the 1980s together with Spanish
director Pedro Almodovar and films such as "Labyrinth of
Passion", "Matador", and "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!".
Joining Ralph Fiennes, Munich
Film Festival (Filmfest München) will also present the
festival's special award, the CineMerit Award to Spanish
actor Antonio Banderas. In Munich, Banderas will personally
present Pedro Almodóvar's latest film, Pain and Glory
(Dolor y gloria), for which he's just received the award for
best actor at the Cannes Film Festival.
Banderas
began his film career in the 1980s together with Spanish
director Pedro Almodovar and films such as "Labyrinth of
Passion", "Matador", and "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!".
In
the '90s, Banderas arrived on the Hollywood scene after he
starred in film such as "Philadelphia", "Interview With the
Vampire" and "Desperado."
Martin
Campbell's "The Mask of Zorro" is, perhaps, the actor's most
commercially successful film till date.
Actor
Ralph Fiennes, the star of films such as "The English
Patient", "Harry Potter" franchise and "The Reader", is also
set to receive the award during the festival.
In 1995, he was cast in the role
of singer El Mariachi in Robert Rodriguez's action film
Desperado. Along the dusty border between the US and Mexico,
the gunslinger hunts down Bucho, a drug lord who killed El
Mariachi's sweetheart. In Alan Parker's Evita, Banderas
tells the story of Argentina's iconic first lady from the
perspective of revolutionary Che Guevara. The biggest
milestone of Banderas's career might well be the lead role

CineMerit Award for Ralph Fiennes
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN welcomes Ralph Fiennes
as our guest on July 1st this year. The British actor and
director will be honored with our festival's special award,
the CineMerit Award. Fiennes will also participate in a
Filmmakers Live! talk in the Gasteig's Black Box, at which
fans and guests can pose questions of the Oscar-nominated
performer.
Whether as Lord Voldemort or as SS Hauptsturmführer
Amon Göth, Ralph Fiennes knows how to lend a personal
quality to pure evil. But he can also be an adorably
flirtatious concierge, as in Wes Anderson's "Grand Budapest
Hotel". In his acting roles, Ralph Fiennes reinvents himself
time and again, gives his characters unexpected facets, and
is never afraid to take risks. He's said that a life full of
contradictions helps him to make these characters come
alive. His unique and intense portrayals have defined such
Oscar-winning dramas as "Schindler's List", "The Constant
Gardener", and "The English Patient", and have earned him
several international awards. It's this versatility that
makes Fiennes an outstanding and multifaceted actor who in
recent years has also forayed into directing.
That's why FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is
showing all three of the films he's directed as well as
further movies that display his accomplishments as an actor.
The presentation of the CineMerit Award will include a
screening of his new film THE WHITE CROW. Fiennes not only
directed the film, but also played the part of renowned
Leningrad ballet master Alexander Pushkin. One intense look
from him, and he has everyone's attention. Dance instructor
Pushkin stands in an empty room with calm stoicism and a
gentle but determined look. At the ballet barre, his pupils
are waiting for his signal. A slight gesture, a terse "Get
ready" &emdash; and the tone is set. Just as gentle and
determined is Fiennes' signature touch. He takes a calm and
studious approach to the incredible story of legendary
Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who astonished the
world with his defection to France in 1961. Nureyev is
played by world-class Ukrainian ballet dancer Oleg
Ivenko.
In
CORIOLANUS, his first film as director, Fiennes brought his
appreciation of Shakespeare's works to the big screen. Prior
to his success in film, Fiennes was long renowned on the
English stage. At the young age of 27, he had notable roles
in Shakespeare plays at London's National Theatre and with
the Royal Shakespeare Company. Even though his career soon
led to film, he returned time and again to the theater,
playing Hamlet, King Lear, Julius Caesar, and the island
sorcerer Prospero. In CORIOLANUS, he plays the haughty,
vindictive general Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, who has drawn
the resentment of the Roman people upon himself.
In
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN, his second film as director, Fiennes
also played one of the main characters: legendary British
author Charles Dickens, who starts a complicated love affair
with a young actress named Nelly. Once again, the director
made use of a literary template, Claire Tomalin's novel of
the same title. In his relationship with Nelly, Dickens
appears dominating and assertive, but actor Ralph Fiennes
succeeds nonetheless in revealing the writer's uncertainty
and vulnerability when growing older.
Determined
and gentle, rebellious and subtle: that's the tone of Ralph
Fiennes' work as a director. His films, like his roles,
point out life's contradictions.

Filmfest to honour international filmmaker Bong Joon Ho
Bong Joon Ho is not only one
of the most renowned international filmmakers of the moment
but also the winner of this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes Film
Festival. FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is honoring the 49-year-old
South Korean director with a retrospective in which the
complete works of his nearly 20-year career will be
presented.
Bong has been a very successful genre director, dealing with
quite varied topics, though solidarity and cohesion are
themes that come up time and again in his works. Now the
director is represented in this year's CineMasters
competition by his brand-new film PARASITE, which won the
Palme d'or at Cannes. Here, too, Bong uses creative twists
and turns to illustrate the difficulties of human
interaction, on the family level as well as the societal
level. A family and its sinister acts are at the center of
this allegorical drama with comedic undertones. This film
deliberately avoids categorization and holds a number of
dramatic surprises. This mixture of satire, suspense, and
social criticism is typical of Bong Joon Ho and is at the
same time something completely new. It's the ideal
starting point for discovering or rediscovering his
work.

22nd Shanghai Int'l Film Festival, June 14-
24
Cinema depicts all the vibes of human kind, while screen
encompasses all in the world. But the glory of film is not
only about the grandeur on the red carpet, but also about
the selfless efforts and devotion of filmmakers behind the
scenes. And it is the very latter that has made possible the
audio-visual shocks in theaters and the spiritual
satisfaction for the audience.
Under the guidance of State Film
Administration, the 22nd Shanghai International Film
Festival, held by China Media Group and Shanghai Municipal
People's Government, released its official poster "Creative
Heroes Behind the Scenes", which implies that it will
inherit the classics, pay tribute to behind-the-scenes
endeavor, seek after the future dreams, and inspire the wide
filmmakers to bear the original aspiration, keep true to
their hearts, carry on the craftsmanship, devote to creation
for the people and contribute to China's transformation from
a large film country to a film power.
As the only competitive feature film festival in China
recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers
Association (FIAPF), since its birth in 1993, Shanghai
International Film Festival (SIFF) has been dedicated to
inviting Chinese and foreign filmmakers to jointly build a
bridge between Chinese films and the world. The 22nd
Shanghai International Film Festival commissioned the famous
poster designer HUANG Hai to create a poster with the theme
of "Creative Heroes Behind the Scenes", whose inspiration
mainly comes from the film HAVOC IN HEAVEN by Shanghai
Animation Film Studios.
This
top Chinese film, released in the 1960s, greatly enriched
the audience's aesthetic imagination and influenced the
creation of countless filmmakers across the world. For this
work, the collective wisdom is all that matters, and there
is no difference between the front and the back of the
stage. SUN Wukong, symbolizing the spiritual totem of the
Chinese nation, is the incarnation of bravery, loyalty, and
ambition, which has such an overwhelming power as the
conviction held by thousands of Chinese filmmakers in the
wave of Chinese film development and transformation. The
vivid image of SUN Wukong has also become a typical symbol
of the Chinese culture that is recognized globally. The
design idea of this official poster is to display
traditional Chinese cultural elements to the world in the
contemporary art language through the specific connotation
of SUN Wukong's image.
Shanghai
Animation Film Studios has offer great support by image
authorization. And designer HUANG Hai has fully demonstrated
the power of creativity in the reinterpretation of SUN
Wukong's image. The color of the poster, designed to be
close to the original film, is to restore the same visual
effect. The unveiling waterfall curtain, appearing in
another form of the classic scene in the film, also
symbolizes the film festival to be inaugurated. The word
"22" ingenuously brings forth the era sense in the main
image. The "Monkey King", from the stage to the back of the
scene, with his wise and playful eyes on the audiences
watching the stage, is expecting the surprises by the film
creators. The picture featuring vivid colors and lifesome
image is thought provoking, which perfectly conveys the
theme of this film festival's poster "Creative Heroes Behind
the Scenes" - - the real glamour of films lies in collective
wisdom and devotion, while paying tribute to the
behind-the-scenes filmmakers.
The
theme "Creative Heroes Behind the Scenes" also integrates
SIFF's positioning of "Based in Asia, Focusing on Chinese
and Supporting New Generation", and the direction of
building China into a film power by encouraging contents,
respecting the behind-the-scenes work, and promoting new
talents. Inspired by the design of the poster of the film
festival based on the image of SUN Wukong, HUANG Hai hopes
that more young filmmakers will watch HAVOC IN HEAVEN, as
the craftsmanship in the behind-the-scenes workers of this
film is the heritage to be carried forward and innovated
with courage by all Chinese filmmakers.

The
55th Pasadena Showcase House of Design, April 21 - May
19
An all-volunteer organization, Pasadena
Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) is a non-profit
California Corporation whose members donate their time and
talents to produce the annual Pasadena Showcase House of
Design. Founded in 1948, and formerly known as The
Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee, they adopted the
Pasadena Showcase House of Design as their annual benefit in
1965. It is one of the oldest, largest and most
successful house and garden tours in the nation.
A Los Angeles Times article, dated October 14, 1948, reads:
"A Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee has been
formed. Composed of prominent members of the younger
set, this organization came into being at a meeting and tea
on October 8, in the home of Mrs. John B. Callery, Jr., who
has been named president."
The committee was formed to raise money for the Continuance
Fund (later the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association) to
help pay for the Pasadena series of concerts of the Los
Angeles Philharmonic. The original 18 founding members
met their early donation goals with traditional affairs - a
shipwreck party, a casino night, an assortment of bridge
tournaments and a television party where guests dressed up
like their favorite TV stars, when television was a
relatively new phenomenon. In those early days,
between $3,000 and $5,000 was raised annually.
The idea of a Pasadena Showcase House of Design was
suggested in 1965 and the destiny of The Pasadena Junior
Philharmonic Committee, now known as Pasadena Showcase House
for the Arts, was uniquely changed. With creativity and
hard work from the committee, community support and
enthusiasm - more than $11,000 was raised the first
year. Admission to the first Showcase House was $1.50,
which included coffee and cookies, and approximately 7,500
visitors attended. Parking was in the neighborhood and,
in some cases, on neighbors' lawns. Today, tickets
range from $35 - $60 and approximately 30,000 visitors are
shuttled from a nearby location
"Art Sales" was added in 1970, beginning with two or three
artists. Today, about 25 vendors participate in the
Shops at Showcase. Refreshments evolved from
complimentary coffee and cookies, to lunches prepared by
members, to a cafeteria with light fare to a full service
restaurant with an additional Gourmet-to-Go station and al
fresco dining and sometimes a pub.
Due to the profound dedication of the members of PSHA who
volunteer their time, the talent and financial commitment of
the designers and the many others who donate their services,
products and money - the Pasadena Showcase House of Design
is now one of the oldest, largest and most successful house
and garden tours in the United States.

115-China
will be MIPCOM's 2018 Country of
Honor
The world's entertainment content market, MIPCOM
takes place in Cannes, France, from 15-18
October.
"China has now emerged as a major producer and consumer of
film and television and will play a leading role at MIPCOM,
to present to the world great Chinese stories and work with
colleagues around the globe to usher in a better future,"
said Mrs. Ma Li, Director General of the International
Cooperation Department of the National Radio and Television
Administration, People's Republic of China.
"The Chinese television and entertainment sector has a
special place within the MIPCOM and MIPTV community going
back to 2004 when MIPTV welcomed the largest-ever delegation
of Chinese TV executives at an international television
market. As MIPCOM 2018 Country of Honour, China will be
showcasing its wide range of programme genre destined for
international television channels," commented Laurine
Garaude, Director of Reed MIDEM's Television Division.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of new industry data
reporting that China is now the second largest television
market in the world, overtaking the United Kingdom and
behind the United States.
According to a report from IHS Markit, China spent $10.9
billion on television programming in 2017 compared to $10
billion in the UK. TV broadcasters spent $6.4 billion while
online giants Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent invested $4.5
billion to provide programmes for their online entertainment
platforms. Original programming accounted for 49% of shows
aired in China with the rest being made up of acquisitions
(46%) and sports programming.
"In recent years we have seen the growth in Chinese shows
being presented at our events for sale to international
broadcasters and an increase in cross-border partnerships
between Chinese and international producers. We anticipate
that the trend towards Chinese content being exported to
international territories will speed up over the next two to
three years and we are very keen for MIPCOM and MIPTV to be
part of that process," noted Reed MIDEM's Laurine
Garaude.
"At MIPTV 2018 we showcased several Chinese formats
including 'National Treasure.' And in the documentary
sector, the agreement between Tencent and BBC to produce
high-quality documentaries is an indication of the desire to
develop bilateral production partnerships," added Laurine
Garaude.
The MIPCOM Country of Honour programme will include
conference panel discussions on the Chinese market during
MIPJunior and MIPCOM, multiple showcases of the latest
Chinese programmes, a Chinese-themed Opening Night Welcome
Reception, a look into the hottest shows from China in the
popular Fresh TV presentation and the largest-ever China
Pavilion.
Previous MIPCOM Countries of Honour include Japan, Russia,
Turkey and Mexico.

Showtime® limited series "Escape at Dannemora" to
premier at MIPCOM
2018.
PARIS -- CBS Studios
International will host the world premiere screening of the
new Showtime limited series, "Escape at Dannemora", at
MIPCOM 2018
Screening will take place in the Palais des Festivals on
Monday 15 October, with Ben Stiller, Executive Producer and
series director attending the event in Cannes.
"Escape at Dannemora" is based on the stranger-than-fiction
account of a prison break in upstate New York in the summer
of 2015 that spawned a massive manhunt for two convicted
murderers. The prisoners were aided in their escape by a
married female prison employee, with whom they both became
sexually entangled. It stars Oscar®-winners Benicio Del
Toro ("Traffic") and Patricia Arquette ("Boyhood"),
alongside Paul Dano ("There Will Be Blood") and Bonnie Hunt
("Life with Bonnie"). The show will premiere on Showtime at
the end of the year. "Escape at Dannemora" is written and
executive produced by Brett Johnson ("Mad Men") and Michael
Tolkin ("The Player"). Also executive producing are Bryan
Zuriff ("Ray Donovan"), Michael De Luca ("Captain Phillips")
via Michael De Luca Productions, and Nicky Weinstock for
Stiller's Red Hour Productions.
As an actor, director, writer, and producer, Ben Stiller's
global box office stands at nearly $3 billion, making him
one of the highest-grossing stars of all time. His directing
credits include the critically-acclaimed comedy "Tropic
Thunder," which won the Broadcast Film Critics' Award for
"Best Comedy" and the Hollywood Film Festival Award for
"Comedy of the Year"; cult comedy "Zoolander," in which he
also starred; iconic indie "Reality Bites"; dark comedy "The
Cable Guy"; and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," which was
named one of the "Top 10 Films of 2013" by the National
Board of Review. Stiller has amassed one of the most
successful acting careers on record, from movie franchises
"Night at the Museum," "Meet the Parents," and "Madagascar";
to modern classics such as "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Flirting
with Disaster," "There's Something About Mary," and
independent features "Brad's Status," "The Meyerowitz
Stories," "While We're Young" and "Greenberg"; plus
"Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," "Tower Heist,"
"Permanent Midnight" and Steven Spielberg's "Empire of
the Sun," among countless others.
"The ultra-premium programming from Showtime continues to
push boundaries, delivering some of the best production
auspices and most compelling stories on television today.
'Escape at Dannemora' is no exception, and we look forward
to premiering this highly anticipated limited series, with
the amazing Ben Stiller, at MIPCOM this October," said
Armando Nuñez, President and Chief Executive Officer,
CBS Studios International.
"With its star-studded cast and top-flight writing and
directing credits, we are thrilled to be showcasing 'Escape
at Dannemora' as the MIPCOM World Premiere Screening, and to
welcome series director Ben Stiller in Cannes," said Laurine
Garaude, Director of Reed MIDEM's Television Division.

115-Oscars
No Shows, 1960 -
2016
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.

power and responsibility to help one another and as Gary
likes to say.
we can always do a little more."
Gary Sinise has been working in support of
veterans for nearly forty years. His commitment
started in the early 1980's when he began supporting
local Vietnam veterans' groups in the Chicago area and
co-founded the Vets Night program at the Steppenwolf
Theatre. This program continues to this day and invites
veterans to a free dinner and performance for each one of
the plays produced at the theatre.
Among
his numerous film and television roles, it was his portrayal
of Lt. Dan Taylor, which formed an enduring connection
with servicemen and women throughout the military
community. Shortly after the film opened, Sinise was
introduced to the Disabled American Veterans organization as
they invited him to their national convention to present him
with their National Commanders Award for playing the double
amputee. Sinise's involvement with veterans has included
volunteer work for the USO, performances with his band, the
Gary Sinise & Lt. Dan Band entertaining troops
around the world, and the creation of the Gary Sinise
Foundation which was formed in 2011 with the mission to
honor America's defenders, veterans, first responders, their
families and those in need.
In
recognition of his humanitarian work on behalf of veterans,
Sinise has earned numerous distinguished awards including
the Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment from the
Medal of Honor Society, the Spirit of the USO Award, the
Sylvanus Thayer Award from the West Point Association of
Graduates, the George Catlett Marshall Medal from the
Association of the United States Army (AUSA),and the
Presidential Citizens Medal which is the second-highest
civilian honor awarded to citizens for exemplary deeds
performed in service of the nation, among others.

AFI Fest Nov 9
-16
The AFI Fest presented annually by
the American Film Institute opens with 'Mudbound' and
continues with a bounty of world cinema. It has become a
favorite destination for moviegoiers seeking the newest and
best that world cinema has to offer. Movie showings are held
at the TCL Chinese
Theatre Imax and CTL Chinese Thearters 6801 Holllywood
Blvd., LA as well as at the Egyptian Theatre 6712 Hollywood
Blvd., LA.
The richness of this event's international scope is an
earnest priority for the festival's director, Jacqueline
Lyanga, and her team of programmer. Also, courtesy of robust
event sponsorship, admission to all screenings is free. It's
a way the AFI Fest keeps faith with its legacy -- a
throwback to the old glory days of the institute's
long-defunct Los Angeles International Film Exposition,
a.k.a. Filmex, which from 1971 to 1987 was a notable local
bastion of globe-trotting
cinephilia.
Until just a few days ago, the festival was expected to
close with the Nov. 16 world premiere of Ridley Scott's
hotly anticipated "All the Money in the World," but
the film was yanked from the program by its distributor,
Sony Pictures, in the wake of sexual assault allegations
against Kevin Spacey, one of its stars. (As of now, the film
is still set to open theatrically Dec. 22.) The last-minute
change of plans cost AFI Fest one of its highest-profile
attractions, but also spared it some potentially awkward
headlines at a time when charges of rape and sexual
harassment have engulfed the
industry.
The
show will feature more than 90 screening over the next eight
days including a dazzling, 12-film Robert Altman
retrospective. On Thursday night the festival got off to a
vigorously applauded start with Dee Rees' "Mudbound," a
sprawling, powerfully acted epic of racial discord set in
the WWII-era American South. The film reaches Netflix and
select theaters Nov.
17.
One of the sacred dictates of the international
film-festival circuit is that you can never have too much
Isabelle Huppert, who received a tribute at AFI Fest last
year en route to her Oscar nomination for "Elle." That
theory is put to the test here by the inclusion of no fewer
than three Huppert vehicles: "Happy End," another master
class in art-house severity from Austria's Michael Haneke;
"Claire's Camera," a Cannes-set curio from South Korea's
prolific Hong Sang-soo (who also has another film in the
festival, the absorbing "The Day After"); and "Mrs. Hyde," a
new work from the French auteur Serge Bozon.

Bayreuther Festspiele, Bayreuth, Germany July 25 - August
28
The Bayreuth Festival:
also a family history. The festival's management has been in
the hands of a member of the Wagner family up to this day. A
special feature that has increased the attractiveness of the
four-week Wagner marathon worldwide. This family history, as
in any other family, has not remained free of tension.
The reworking of the
political instrumentalisation, especially in the Nazi
dictatorship, the "Neubayreuth" under Wieland and Wolfgang
Wagner, the changes under Katharina Wagner &endash; they
stand not only for continuity, but also for breaks in the
reception which have one thing in common: profound respect
for the unique work of Richard Wagner.
History of Richard Wagner and Bayreuth
Wagner originally
planned that Munich would be the focal-point of his music.
After being banished from immediate contact with Ludwig II
at the end of 1865, however, he switched his attention from
Munich to Nuremberg, which he saw as especially appropriate
for the performance of The Mastersingers and his other
operas.
Nuremberg, however,
was abandoned when Wagner heard from Hans Richter that there
was an excellent operahouse in Bayreuth. Margrave Frederick
(1735-63), who was married to the sister of Frederick the
Great, Friederike Wilhelmine Sophie, had kept court in
Bayreuth. The young Margravine was active in the arts, and
like her famous brother was an enthusiastic composer (for
example, the operas Amaltea and L'Elliogabalo), and the
Margrave had an opera-house built in Bayreuth, completed in
1747. In its time it was one of the largest theatres in the
world. The acoustics were exceptionally good.
The question
of performance rights made Wagner favour Bayreuth. In 1864,
when short of money, Wagner had sold the performance rights
of his forthcoming operas to Ludwig II. As an enthusiastic
Wagnerian, Ludwig had wished to hear Wagner's music as often
as possible in Munich. On Ludwig's initiative, The Rhinegold
was premiered in Munich on 22nd September 1869, although
Wagner was against the idea.

On the Red Carpet at the Venice Film Festival
2017
VENICE, Italy -- Known as an
awards-season launching pad, a bevy of Hollywood talent --
including Oscar winners George Clooney, Matt Damon, Julianne
Moore, Jennifer Lawrence and Octavia Spencer -- headed to
the Venice Film Festival, which opened its 74th edition
August 30.
Venice kicked off
with Alexander Payne's Downsizing as the opening film in
competition. Stars Jane Fonda and Robert Redford are
to receive Lifetime Achievement Golden Lions at a September
1 screening.
Some of
the Films presented on the Lido:
"Downsizing"
A social satire directed by
Alexander Payne and starring Mat Damon, Kristen Wiig and
Hong Chau, in which Damon plays a man who agrees
to have himself shrunk down in order to live
luxuriously in a government resort, "shows a likable
character whose life is different from our own, but whom we
can find common cause with" and called it "an optimistic
film."
"Suburbicon"
Damon will be doing double duty in Venice. In "Downsizing,"
he plays a man who agrees to have himself shrunk down in
order to live luxuriously in a government resort, while in
Clooney-directed "Suburbicon," he stars as the father of a
well-to-do suburban family that finds itself caught in a
spiral of violence. Julianne Moore, who last came to the
festival in 2009 for Tom Ford's "A Single Man," also stars
in Clooney's dark take on 1950s suburbia.
"Mother"
A third title Paramount is in competition in Venice: Darren
Aronofsky's horror thriller "Mother!", for which Lawrence is
Lido-bound along with Javier Bardem and Michelle Pfeiffer.
All three Paramount movies will continue on from Venice to
Toronto.
"The Shape of Water"
Fox Searchlight will launch two Golden Lion hopefuls:
Guillermo Del Toro's Cold War-era fantasy "The Shape of
Water," for which Octavia Spencer is jetting in, and dark
thriller "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,"
directed by Martin McDonagh ("In Bruges"), and starring
Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, and Sam Rockwell.
Although the star wattage is high, what characterizes the
fest's upcoming competition lineup is not the presence of
potential Oscar bait but rather "a whole other range of
different types of movies that are being made today around
the world, which are not promoted and sustained, and that
need Venice for this," says Venice Film Festival artistic
director, Alberto Barbera.
Festival Jury:
Annette Bening
serves as President of the main Venezia 74 competition jury
-- and as the first female to hold the post since 2006. The
panel awards the major prizes including the Golden and
Silver Lions and the acting Volpi Cups, among others.
Jurists include
Hungarian director and screenwriter Ildikó Enyedi,
Michel Franco, who has won awards at Cannes for three of his
films, British actress Rebecca Hall (Christine), French
actress Anna Mouglalis (Leopardi ), Italian filmmaker
Jasmine Trinca, who won the award for Best Actress; Edgar
Wright, the British director and screenwriter of the iconic
Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, whose film Baby Driver is
currently showing in American theatres, and director,
producer and screenwriter Yonfan, a well-travelled
director who grew up in Taiwan and lives and works in Hong
Kong.
The biggest novelty at Venice this year is a new competitive
section dedicated to works made for virtual-reality-viewing,
the first-ever competition for VR works at a major film
festival. It will be held in refurbished buildings on a tiny
island close to the Lido that was a leper colony in the 15th
century and has never before been open to the public.

actor Bryan Cranston
The 61-year-old actor was awarded the
Cinemerit Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in film

luckiest guy in the world to make a living as a working
actor.
