• Historical drama CORSAGE opens FILMFEST MÜNCHEN

To celebrate in a fitting manner, the opening ceremony of the 39th FILMFEST MÜNCHEN was held in the beautiful new concert hall recently opened by the city of Munich: the Isarphilharmonie at the Gasteig HP8. This modern concert hall, built onto an industrial heritage site, provides just the right atmosphere for the majestic opening film. Marie Kreutzer's CORSAGE has Vicky Krieps step into the iconic role of Empress Elisabeth of Austria in a completely new guise. Kreutzer paints a completely new picture of a woman who was literally and socially corseted by royal constraints, prevailing standards of beauty, and her own wardrobe.
•••• Kreutzer is obviously making a case for Sissi as a woman comprehensively stymied by the combined forces of patriarchy and court protocol, but she is not the kind of filmmaker to avoid unpleasant truths. Her Sissi is a textbook narcissist.
•••• Inaugurated in 1983 and with some 200 showings every year, the Munich Film Festival is Germany's second biggest film festival after Berlin. With over a million films admitted since the festivals beginning, this event is certainly one of the most important for the film industry in Germany. Major productions, indie documentaries, and short films all find an audience in one of Munich's many theaters. All films are shown in the original language, often with German or English subtitles. There is usually an impressive lineup of live guests from the movie industry as well. The theaters are mostly within a 15-minute walk from each other, and public transportation can bring you there easily. Some of the venues for previous years include the Filmmuseum, Gasteig Kulturzentrum, Rio Filmpalast, Filmtheater Sendlinger Tor, City-Atelier Kinos and Gloria Palast am Stachus.

• 115- CORSAGE premiers at Cannes.
CANNES - With a new empress Elisabeth, CORSAGE celebrates a world premier at Cannes' Un Certain Regard and earned unanimous praise and was circled by several distributors.
•••• IFC Films has acquired North American rights to "Corsage," Marie Kreutzer's bold costume drama starring Vicky Krieps as the Empress Elisabeth of Austria known as Sissi. In the 1950s she has captured the hearts of the public ever since she was immortalized by actress Romy Schneider in a "Sissi" trilogy.
•• Free of "Kitsch" Marie Kreutzer (Direction and script) shows a completely new picture of said empress Elisabeht who as "Sisi" became an ikone and who now in CORSAGE not only can be seen in a new light but is freed.

"Corsage" centers on Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the monarch idolized for her beauty and inspiring fashion trends. Sissi was a Bavarian princess, who married the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I when she was 16 and was on the throne for 44 years. Kreutzer's script focuses on just one of those years:
•••• Christmas 1877: It's the 40th birthday of empress Elisabeth of Austria (Vicky Krieps). In her performative role on the side of her husband emperor Franz Joseph (Florian Teichtmeister) she may not opine her thoughts on matters of state but must always stay the young empress. To stay true to this expectation, she keeps a rigid plan of fasting, sport, combing her hair and daily cinching her famed 19.5" waist. But Elisabeth is curious, and with a zest for live, whose opposition to the oversized image of herself grows and who does not want to live trapped in a royal corset any longer. The "corsage" of the title doesn't refer to flowers on a dress, but the corset that squeezes Elisabeth's rib cage tighter and tighter. Her hunger for knowledge and adventerous life makes her more and more restless in Vienna.
•••20 years after the film is set, the empress was, in fact, assassinated in Switzerland by an Italian anarchist in 1898. Given the character's penchant for dangerous sports and constant starvation, privilege, frustration and, trying to hold on to her sanity it comes as a surprise to learn that Corsage gives her a different end.
•••• "Corsage" was produced by A Film AG production, in co-production with Samsa Film, Komplizen Film, Kazak Productions, ORF Film/Fernseh-Abkommen, ZDF/ARTE, ARTE France Cinéma.

• 108- CAA acquires rival ICM in landmark talent agency deal
•••• Creative Artists Agency bought ICM Partners in a landmark deal that could transform Hollywood representation. The deal reduces the number of top agencies to three dominant players: CAA, WME and United Talent Agency.
•••• The deal is the industry's largest acquisition since the William Morris Agency merged with Endeavor in 2009, essentially turning Hollywood into a two-agency town.
••••Although financial terms were not disclosed, the acquisition was valued at $750 million, resulting in a pro-forma enterprise valuation of $5 billion for the enlarged agency.
•••• CAA and ICM combined will have more than 3,200 employees across 25 countries. The deal's closing will leave behind only a handful of power players. Endeavor, the industry's largest, went public last year and is valued at around $9.8 billion. United Talent Agency trails behind both firms.
•••• Apple, Amazon and Netflix have muscled in on Hollywood in recent years, and traditional media companies like Disney and Discovery have joined the race. The growing power of these firms and the economics of streaming have changed the way actors are paid, and made it harder to bargain on their behalf. That has made it tougher for a smaller agency like ICM to compete.
••••The CAA takeover was first announced in September but the deal had to be delayed due to increased scrutiny clearing a regulatory review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission as the industry experiences a wave of deal-making and M&A fervor rages in Hollywood.
•••• The pairing will mean significant jobs losses at ICM. Of the 425 employees that CAA would have taken on as part of the deal, some will have to be cut.
••••CAA's acquisition of its smaller rival is part of a wider consolidation that is reshaping Hollywood as media companies boost their film and TV offerings for streaming platforms. It comes at a time of rapid changes in the talent representation industry, where power has shifted away from A-list actors and directors toward creators of content such as writers and producers.
••••CAA will now have access to ICM's lucrative publishing business and its top clients, including "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes, actor Samuel L. Jackson, director Spike Lee and Ellen DeGeneres. ICM also represents "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan and "The Handmaid's Tale" creator Bruce Miller.
•••• Clients include Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Zendaya, Ava DuVernay, Ryan Murphy and Reese Witherspoon, while ICM represents Shonda Rhimes, Ellen DeGeneres, musical artists such as Ariana Grande, Samuel L. Jackson and Pete Davidson, and among others.
•••• Previously CAA announced that it had bought full ownership of CAA-GBG Global Brand Management Group, a brand management agency. Earlier this month, Beverly Hills-based United Talent Agency said it had expanded its international footprint by acquiring one of the U.K.'s biggest literary and talent companies, Curtis Brown Group.
•••• CAA, ICM and othr agencies weathered a tough period over the last two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, when several agencies laid off workers after productions shut down and live events were canceled.
••••Agencies also were squeezed by the effects of a losing battle with the Writers Guild of America that forced them to rein in the use of packaging fees and affiliated productions that had helped them diversify their business.
•••• In January, CAA announced plans to move its Los Angeles headquarters to a larger location in Century City as it prepared to absorb hundreds of new employees through its then-pending acquisition of ICM. The agency will leave its current spot on Constellation Boulevard and head across the street to the under-construction Century City Center tower in 2026.

• 39th Munich Film Festival opens for 10-day celebration of movies
•••• Under the slogan "Unleashed" the 39th Munich Film Festival opened Thursday evening (June 23) at the Isarphilharmonie concert hall to kick off 10 days of screenings at indoor and outdoor venues around the Bavarian capital. Munich's largest concert hall was converted into Munich's largest cinema hall for the film festival.
•••• The opening film was the historical drama "Corsage" by director Marie Kreutzer (44) with actress Vicky Krieps (38) as Empress Elisabeth "Sisi" of Austria (1837-1898). The strip had its world premiere at the film festival in Cannes, southern France, and leading actress Krieps was awarded the actor's prize in the "Un Certain Regard" section.
•••• The Munich Film Festival opened with a red carpet and a big party -- at which the war in Ukraine was not forgotten.•Actress Uschi Glas spoke of a bad conscience about going out to party. The time is difficult, "the war is a catastrophe."
•••• This topic was also addressed by Munich's second mayor Katrin Habenschaden in her opening speech: "How much cinematic escapism can you afford when hell on earth is raging just a two-hour flight away?" she asked. Her answer: "The power that art can develop also influences our society. We cannot overestimate that." In his speech at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival in May, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained what the film, the big screen, could achieve: "He said: 'If there is another dictator, if there's another war of liberation, then it all depends on our solidarity again. We need a new Charlie Chaplin which proves that cinema is not silent these days.'" With this he skilfully made the connection from Chaplin's film "The Great Dictator (1940) to the political function of the film.
•••• Several hundred screenings are scheduled at about a dozen indoor and outdoor venues around the city, with the fest to wrap up on July 2 with the awarding of the top prizes in several categories for both international and German film productions.
•••• The main interest for many film fans will be focused on three competitions: the 50,000 Euros ($52,300) CineMasters for best international film, which has 10 entries, the 15,000 Euros CineVision for the best newcomer director, and a new prize, the 10,000 Euros CineRebels.
•••• This year's festival is to pay special tribute to two women. German director Doris Doerrie will be honoured with a retrospective show of her several decades of filmmaking, while the CineMerit lifetime achievement award will be presented to Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher.
•••• With war going on in Ukraine, the Munich festival will also be screening films by Ukrainian and Russian directors focusing on issues of war, survival and totalitarianism.
•••• Another topical theme concerns the 50th anniversary of the terrorism-stricken 1972 Munich Olympics, with a film "Champagne for the Eyes -- Poison for the Rest" by German director Klaus Lemke depicting the lifestyle of Munich in the 1970s.
•••• Regarding the terrorist attack on the Munich games, the Munich Film Festival and Bavarian broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk will be dedicating an entire evening to the theme directly after the festival in the open-air cinema located on the Olympic Lake.

• 113- British government approves Julian Assange's Extradition to US (AP)
LONDON -- June 17, 2022. The British government on Friday has ordered the extradition of the WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange to the US, to face spying charges, by his website's publication of classified U.S. documents.
•••••WikiLeaks immediately released a statement to say it would appeal against the decision. "Today is not the end of the fight," it said. "It is only the beginning of a new legal battle. We will appeal through the legal system; the next appeal will be before the high court." Assange's lawyers have 14 days to file the appeal.
••••• The case passed to the British home secretary last month after the UK supreme court ruled that there were no legal questions over assurances given by US authorities on Assange's likely treatment.
••••• Assange's wife, Stella Assange, a lawyer who married her husband in a prison ceremony in March, said the U.K. decision marked "a dark day for press freedom and for British democracy." "We're not at the end of the road here," and "We're going to fight this."
••••• "Julian did nothing wrong," she said. "He has committed no crime and is not a criminal. He is a journalist and a publisher, and he is being punished for doing his job."
••••• The statement said anyone who cared about freedom of expression should be "deeply ashamed".
••••• Julian Assange has battled in British courts for years to avoid being sent to the U.S., where he faces 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse.

• 102- When Podcasting Collides with Commercialization - AmplifyNABshow-Adrian Pennington
•••• Fans of the hugely popular Kermode and Mayo's Film Review podcast have had to scramble in recent weeks as the pair decided to leave the BBC and set up shop at Sony.
•••• The show started 21 years ago and was reformatted into a podcast a decade ago, attracting millions of listeners to become the nation's most influential film review. While the BBC is hardly a small player in media, it nurtured the show to success but couldn't afford to keep its stars in the fold when Sony came calling.

•••• This is one example of a wider trend in which podcasts are becoming commercialized, corporatized, and centralized, threatening the grassroots origins of the medium.
•••• Podcasting is big business. Recent reports from the IAB calculate revenues in excess of $1 billion this year, growing to more than $4 billion in just two years' time.
•••• "Grassroots podcasting will soon find itself competing with the professionalized, platform-dominated version of the medium that's hit-driven and slickly produced, with cross-media tie-ins and big budgets," comments an article from The Conversation's John Sullivan, who examines how corporate takeovers are fundamentally changing podcasts.

• 114- Art Rupe, pioneering record executive who helped launch Little Richard's career, dies at 104
•••• Rupe, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, died Friday (April 15) at his home in Santa Barbara, California.
•••• Music executive Art Rupe, whose Specialty Records was a premier label during the early years of rock'n'roll and who helped launch the careers of Little Richard, Sam Cooke and many others, has died. He was 104.
•••• He was born Arthur Goldberg, the son of an Austrian immigrant laborer, in Greensburg, Pa., on Sept 5, 1917, whose passion for Black music began through hearing the singers at a nearby Baptist church. He studied at
Art Rupe, Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images
the University of California, Los Angeles, and after considering a career in movies decided on music instead. He co-founded Juke Box Records in the mid-1940s, but soon left to start Specialty.

•••• Rupe was a contemporary of Jerry Wexler, Leonard Chess and other white businessmen-producers who helped bring Black music to the general public. He founded Specialty in Los Angeles in 1946 and gave early breaks to artists such as Cooke and his gospel group the Soul Stirrers, Little Richard, Lloyd Price, John Lee Hooker and Clifton Chenier.

 •Little Richard: Michael Ochs Archives

••• •••• Rupe settled on Specialty's eye-popping yellow labels after a marketing professor said it was among the colors most likely to attract buyers' attention.
•••• An astute businessman who loved the music while at the same time signed his artist to exploitative record deals -- "Tutti Frutti" sold more than 500,000 copies but, at a royalty rate of half-cent per record, reportedly netted Little Richard a mere $25,000.
•••• Rupe was known for how little he paid his artists and engaged in an exploitative practice common among label owners in the early rock era: having performers sign contracts leaving him with much or all of the royalties and publishing rights. "Tutti Frutti" sold more than 500,000 copies but, at a royalty rate of half-cent per record, reportedly netted Little Richard a mere $25,000. In 1959 Little Richard would sue Rupe for back royalties and settled out of court for $11,000.

•••• Eventually Rupe grew increasingly frustrated with the "payola" system of bribing broadcasters to get records played and distanced himself from the music business. He sold Specialty to Fantasy Records in the early 1990s, but continued to earn money through oil and gas investments. In recent years, he headed the Arthur N Rupe Foundation, which supported education and research.

Rupe spent his final decades in Santa Barbara.

Stubblefield, the Man History Overheard By Harvey Geller •••• In Life's current Bicentennial issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot "100 Events That Shaped America," 19 buttons behind Bell's telephone. Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's dots and dashes as the first wireless broadcast, a fable echoed by the World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence offered on the following pages has not, until now, appeared in any national publication. •••• The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of mystery, machination, ephemeral enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a two-room shanty constructed of pine and cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated architect is discovered 48 hours after his death, his records scattered, his equipment destroyed, his brain partly eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly Stubblefield, the man history over-heard and then overlooked. • Click for Full Story Published in Warner Bros.
