• 115- La Biennale Cinema 2023 at Venice Lido
The lineup includes octogenarians Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.
•••• The 80th Venice International Film Festival organized by La Biennale di Venezia will take place at the Venice Lido from August 30 to September 9. It is the oldest film festival in the world and one of the "Big Three" film festivals.
••• "Comandante," directed by Edoardo De Angelis, will serve as the festival's opening film on 30 August and "Society of the Snow" has been scheduled as the Festival's closing film.
•••• Bradley Cooper's Leonard Bernstein drama "Maestro," Sofia Coppola's Priscilla Presley movie, Michael Mann's "Ferrari," David Fincher's "The Killer" and Ava DuVernay's "Origin" will make their world debuts at the Venice International Film Festival.
•••• The Festival is also set to headline films directed by Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, despite Hollywood's distaste for the directors due to their histories of sexual misconduct accusations.
•••• Despite Polanski being accused of sexual assault of a minor in 1977, his film "The Palace," set in in a Swiss Hotel on New Year's Eve, will be featured in the festival as well as Allen's film "Coup de Chance," a French thriller, is to premiere at the festival, regardless of being accused of sexual assault in 1992.
•••• The lineup for the 80th edition of the festival, which -- despite the flashy names behind the films -- could have a little less Hollywood glamour than usual gracing the red carpet if the Hollywood actors and writers strikes stretch on. As part of the strike, actors cannot promote projects from the studios and streamers with whom the union is negotiating.
•••• The prestigious film festival already lost one high-profile premiere to the labor disputes in the U.S. in Luca Guadagnino's tennis drama "Challengers," starring Zendaya, which had been set to play in the opening night slot but has now been pushed to 2024. But Alberto Barbera, the director of the Venice Film Festival, said that the strikes' effects on the festival lineup had otherwise been minimal.

• 115- Lorenzo Mattotti creates official poster for Venice Inter'l Film Festival - TVIMagazine
••• Italian illustrator and artist Lorenzo Mattotti is, for the sixth consecutive year, the author of the image for the official poster, and for the fifth year, of the opening sequence for the Venice International Film Festival of La Biennale di Venezia, this year in its 80th edition (August 30 - 9 September 2023).
•••• The image chosen for the poster this year "is inspired by the tradition of on the road movies," explains Lorenzo Mattotti, and in this way seeks to express feelings of freedom, adventure, the discovery of new territories. I played with the graphics - underscores the author - to represent new worlds that can be explored through Cinema.
•••• We are convinced that there is a great future for Cinema that looks forward and ventures down new paths. Furthermore, the Venice International Film Festival is celebrating its 80th edition this year and we wanted to commemorate that in the number that appears on the license plate of an imagined car. Naturally, many are the films that can be evoked by this image, such as Il sorpasso, Easy Rider or Thelma and Louise. May each of us find our own on the road movie. This is our wish for Cinema, may it go far and sprint towards the future. A future of exploration, in search of new frontiers: a colourful luminous Cinema".
•••• Lorenzo Mattotti lives and works in Paris. He began his career in the late 1970s as a comic artist and in the early 1980s founded the Valvoline group with other illustrators. In 1984 he created Fuochi, which was greeted as an event in the world of comic art, and won important international awards. In cinema, he collaborated in 2004 on Eros by Wong Kar-Wai, Soderbergh and Antonioni, and was responsible for the presentation segments of each episode. He was a creative consultant for Pinocchio by Enzo D'Alò. In Incidenti, Signor Spartaco, Doctor Nefasto, L'uomo alla finestra and many more books, all the way to Stigmate published in Italy by Einaudi, Mattotti's work has evolved following an extremely consistent constant.
••••His books have been translated around the world. He publishes in newspapers and magazines such as The New Yorker, Le Monde, Das Magazin, Suddeutsche Zeitung, Nouvel Observateur, Corriere della Sera and Repubblica. He has illustrated many books for children including Pinocchio and Eugenio, which won the Grand Prix in Bratislava in 1993. He has held many solo exhibitions including an anthological exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, at the FransHals museum in Haarlem and at the Musei di Porta Romana. He creates posters, covers, advertising campaigns and is the author of the Cannes 2000 poster and the posters for the Estate Romana festival.
•••• In May 2019, he presented to great acclaim in the Un certain regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, his first animated feature-length film as author and director, titled "La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia" (The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily) inspired by the fable/apologue by
Dino Buzzati.

• 101- Support Strong for Striking Entertainment Industry Workers, Poll Finds
LOS ANGELES (August 18, 2023) -- The public strongly supports striking entertainment industry workers and their fight for fair contracts, according to the results released today from a nationwide poll conducted by Data for Progress. More than two-thirds said they support the strikes by SAG-AFTRA and the WGA, with only 18% opposed.
•••••Remarkably, even among those who view labor unions negatively, nearly half support the strikes, with just 37% opposed.
•••••The results are even more dramatic when respondents are asked to weigh in on the individual issues over which the unions are striking, with between 72% and 87% agreeing on the unions' stance over compensation, limits to AI use and other issues.
•••••"The data shows that most people understand why the union was forced to go on strike. I suspect many are seeing the same dynamic playing out in their own lives, with employers undervaluing their contributions," said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. "That's why this fight is so important. Our demands aren't unreasonable, and it's a fundamental principle of fairness that workers should be fairly compensated for the value they bring their employer -- in every industry." 
•••••The Data for Progress survey took place Aug. 3 to 5, among a sample of 1,124 likely voters nationally, weighted to be representative of likely voters by age, gender, education, race, geography and voting history. The margin of error is ±3 percentage.

• 101- SAG-AFTRA shares the following news from NYFTUC
New York City (August 21, 2023) -- New York's film and television union coalition thanks Senator Webb and Assemblymember Meeks for their commitment to New York's film and television production workers.
•••• We strongly believe in the inherent value of human creative expression over generative artificial intelligence. S.7422 (Webb)/A.7634 (Meeks) rightly prioritizes workers and protects against job displacement in the film and television industry and will help prevent misappropriation of the tangible and intangible assets of the creative talent we represent. We look forward to working further with Senator Webb and Assemblymember Meeks on this issue.   
•••• We embrace the potential inherent in artificial intelligence -- to improve lives, improve jobs, and better our world; however, this potential cannot be used as a tool to replace workers and the creative value they bring to the production of film and television. We will not sit idly by and let that happen. We will work at the bargaining table and with elected officials to protect our members and the essential contributions they make to the arts.

• 106- FEMA Web Page to Dispel Misinformation
WASHINGTON - (Aug 17, 2023) - FEMA Launches Web Page to Dispel Myths, Address Rumors and Answer Frequently Asked Questions Related to Hawaii Wildfires. 
•••• After a disaster, rumors and myths can harm disaster survivors by causing confusion and can even prevent people from seeking assistance.
•••• To address this problem, FEMA recently launched a rumor control and frequently asked questions web page to keep survivors of the Hawaii wildfires aware of rumors and scams, and to help them better understand the federal disaster assistance programs and processes.
•••• FEMA's rumor page and Hawaii Wildfire web page are designed to help survivors, their families and communities access official information from trusted sources. We are encouraging all people to help stop the spread of rumors by doing three easy things: 

1. Find trusted sources of information. 
2. Share information from trusted sources. 
3. Discourage others from sharing information from unverified sources. 

FEMA's rumor page addresses common myths specific to the federal response to the Hawaii wildfires, including:
•••• One rumor claims that if survivors apply for disaster assistance, FEMA may confiscate their property or land. This is completely false. The truth is that applying for disaster assistance does not grant FEMA or the federal government authority or ownership of your property or land.
•••• Another rumor alleges that FEMA and the Red Cross are confiscating donations for Hawaii wildfire aid. The truth is that FEMA is coordinating donations with numerous nonprofit and voluntary organizations, including the Red Cross. After disasters, large quantities of donated items can actually hinder disaster response efforts because it takes time and effort to sort donations. By coordinating efforts with nonprofits, FEMA and its partners can determine how to distribute these items effectively and efficiently. Learn more about volunteering and donations.

• 106- FEMA, Federal Partners Provide Critical Aid to Lahaina, Hawaii Wildfire Response and Recovery Efforts  
WASHINGTON - (August 13, 2023) -- As fire containment efforts continue in Hawaii, FEMA is working with its federal partners to provide immediate relief and lend support to the state-led and locally executed mission on the ground. More than 250 FEMA staff are deployed and leveraging partner agency expertise to help Hawaii residents and communities jumpstart their recovery.
•••• FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, U.S. Fire Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell and U.S. Small Business Administration Associate Administrator Francisco Sànchez, Jr. surveyed catastrophic damage on the island today, as field assessments, initial debris assessments and housing inspections are underway.
• As of Aug. 13, 2023: More than 250 FEMA personnel are deployed to assist Hawaii residents in their greatest time of need, including 45 Disaster Survivor Assistance staff who are visiting shelters in Maui to help survivors register for assistance and identify and report any critical needs.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service approved Hawaii's request for impacted Child Nutrition Programs and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The USDA is also coordinating pet reunification activities on the ground and is assessing ability to supply food and water to large animals in Lahaina.

• The U.S. Department of State granted a fee waiver for people who lost their U.S. passport book or passport card as a result of the wildfires in Hawaii.

• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approved a public health emergency effective Aug. 8 through Nov. 6, which provides greater flexibility in meeting emergency health needs of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in Hawaii.

• The American Red Cross and Maui County continue to staff and support six shelters where food, water, hygiene kits and other essential resources are provided to survivors who are unable to return home. Since the fires began, the Red Cross and partners have provided almost 2,900 overnight shelter stays. As of today, approximately 240 Red Cross personnel are responding or actively deploying and around 100 volunteers are participating in a virtual call center to assist with shelter registrations.

• FEMA mission assigned debris management and temporary emergency power to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to help clear up roads and stabilize electric service as well as the Environmental Protection Agency for household hazardous waste removal activities that are essential to begin recovery work in the impacted areas. USACE also completed its initial hazardous materials assessment in Maui.

• Hawaiian Electric restored additional circuits in West Maui and crews completed the installation of a mobile substation at the Lahainaluna substation, which is expected to help restore power to customers in the neighboring subdivisions.

• The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is actively conducting assessments of critical infrastructure and communications systems and coordinating with private sector partners to establish temporary communications solutions.

• Hawaii National Guard has staff in Maui with another 200 staff expected in the coming days to support Maui Police Department safety and security activities in the impacted areas.

• The Federal Aviation Administration has flight restrictions in place in Maui to assist emergency response efforts.

• The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting underwater surveys of the Lahaina harbor using sonar technology to identify structural damage.

• The U.S. Small Business Administration encourages homeowners, renters, businesses and nonprofits to apply for low interest disaster loans. Businesses can apply for up to $2 million for physical damage or economic injury. More information is available by calling the Honolulu office: 808-541-2990 or visiting sba.gov.
•••• Maui County residents are encouraged to register for federal assistance by visiting DisasterAssistance.gov, through the FEMA App, calling 1-800-621-3362 or with in-person with FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance staff.  Residents who use a relay service, such as video relay or captioned telephone service, can give the FEMA operator the number for that service.
•••• As response and recovery efforts continue, Hawaii residents and tourists should continue to monitor instructions from local authorities. 

FEMA's mission is helping people before, during and after disasters.

• 110- Space Exploration Day - California Science Center to Begin Go for Stack on July 20, 2023 - California Science Center Foundation

Space Shuttle Endeavour at future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center

Aft Skirt Installation Will Be First Milestone toward Lifting Space Shuttle
Endeavour into Vertical Launch Position for New
Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center

LOS ANGELES, July 6, 2023 --The California Science Center will commence Go for Stack, the complex process of moving and lifting each of the space shuttle components into place for Endeavour's upcoming, awe-inspiring 20-story vertical display in the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, currently under construction. This technically challenging feat has never been done outside of a NASA facility. The installation of the two aft skirts, the base of the solid rocket boosters, will mark the first Go for Stack milestone and lay the foundation upon which the entire shuttle stack will be built. This is the first step in creating the world's only display of an authentic, 'ready-to-launch' space shuttle system; complete with the orbiter Endeavour, solid rocket boosters, and external tank.
•••• The roughly six-month Go for Stack process will start with the installation of the aft skirts, on top of which the solid rocket motors will be stacked to form the solid rocket boosters. This will be followed by the move and lift of the external tank, ET-94; then, Space Shuttle Endeavour's final move across Exposition Park and lift into place by a large crane; and finally, the intricate mating of the orbiter with the rest of the space shuttle stack. Once finished, Endeavour will be in a vertical configuration towering 200-feet tall. The Air and Space Center building will be completed around the full shuttle stack.
•••• After more than eleven years on display at the California Science Center, December 31, 2023 will be the last chance to see Endeavour on exhibit for several years until the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens to the public. While Endeavour is off exhibit, the California Science Center remains one of the largest science centers in the nation, with
multiple hands-on exhibit galleries, special exhibitions, and IMAX movies for guests to experience. 
•••• "Endeavour will be the star attraction of the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, a launchpad for creativity and innovation that will inspire future generations of scientists, engineers and explorers," said Jeff Rudolph, President and CEO of the California Science Center. "We are grateful to be at this point in the construction of the new Air and Space Center, and thrilled to start Go for Stack on July 20 to commemorate Space Exploration Day."

NASA-KimShiflett

•••• With an impressive artifact collection integrated with hands-on exhibits, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center will be a major expansion that will double the Science Center's educational exhibit space, adding 100,000 square feet and 100 new educational exhibits. Guests of all ages will be encouraged to investigate scientific and engineering principles of atmospheric flight and the exploration of the universe. The Air, Shuttle, and Space Galleries will provide a unique educational opportunity for our Los Angeles community and guests from around the world, general admission free. The Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is the third phase of the California Science Center's three-phase, three-decade master plan to develop one of the world's leading science learning centers. Building construction is underway, and together with artifact and exhibit installation, is expected to take several years.
•••• The California Science Center Foundation is actively fundraising to complete this ambitious project with $320 million raised toward the $400 million EndeavourLA Campaign goal. Everyone can help realize this exciting vision and donations at any level are welcomed.

LOS ANGELES, July 13, 2023 - SAG-AFTRA National Board's vote authorized a strike to begin at 12:01 a.m. PT. on Friday July 14 (happens to be on Bastille Day in France). The Negotiating Committee joined the members on the picket lines on said first day of the SAG-AFTRA strike, including:
•••• SAG-AFTRA President and Negotiating Committee Chair Fran Drescher, National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland and the members of the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee.
•••• The strike took place at various locations at specified times namely at SAG-AFTRA headquarters, 5757 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036; Netflix, 1456 N.

•••• SAG-AFTRA move follows TV and film writers' walkout in further upending the industry Actors -- similarly to screenwriter already on the picket line -- have been battling studios for a pact that would deliver far better pay and residuals from streaming, including the use of artificial intelligence, that have been roiling the entertainment industry.
•••• Despite the last-minute involvement of a federal mediator, the 160,000 member union was unable to secure a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, (AMPTP) which represents studios and in labor dealings.

•••• The SAG-AFTRA contract is set to expire next Friday June 30, and there has been some talk that the negotiations might be extended if the sides are unable to reach agreement on all points by then.
•••• Union president Fran Drescher and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland are optimistic saying they hope to be able to achieve a deal with the studios.
••••If they do, that would avert a "double strike," in which performers would join the Writers Guild of America on picket lines outside the major studios.
•••• SAG-AFTRA represents 160,000 performers. The union is seeking robust protections around the use of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as increases in residuals and regulations on self-taped auditions, among other issues.

LOS ANGELES (June 30, 2023) -- The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have agreed to an extension of the 2020 TV/Theatrical contracts. The agreements, which were set to expire at 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, will now expire on July 12, at 11:59 pm PT. The parties will continue to negotiate under a mutually agreed upon media blackout.
•••• Neither organization will comment to the media about the negotiations during the extension.

Actors walkout looming
•••• Hundreds of actors, delivered a message this week that they're prepared to strike if the union couldn't deliver a "transformative deal."
•••• For now, the decision avoids a possibly painful second strike for Hollywood, with the actors joining in a national walkout for the first time since 1960.
•••• The last time actors went on strike was in 2000 in a dispute over their commercials contract. The previous strike against major studios was in 1988.
•••• The extension probably also means the writers' strike could drag on as the AMPTP tries to secure a deal with the actors.
•••• SAG-AFTRA has been in talks with the studios since June 7. Negotiations got off to a contentious start when leaders secured a strike authorization even before bargaining began.•
•••• Like writers, actors want pay increases to counter the effects of inflation, as well as increased pay from streaming as more content shifts away from traditional broadcast platforms.
•••• They're also seeking more regulations surrounding how actors' voices and images are used by AI, higher contributions to the union's health plan and curbs on the practice of self-taped audition.

Writers' strike: What's at stake and how it could disrupt Hollywood
LOS ANGELES (June 6, 2023) - Like writers, actors have argued that their compensation has been undercut by inflation and the shift to streaming, which pays less in residuals (fees for re-aired shows) than traditional broadcast models.
•••• Other contentious issues include artificial intelligence and the lack of regulations surrounding how actors' voices and images are used.
•••• Additionally, the union wants to bolster contributions to SAG-AFTRA's health and pension plans and curb the practice of self-taped auditions, a trend that accelerated during the pandemic.
•••• Studios and casting directors increasingly have required actors to submit video of themselves auditioning for roles, forcing them to take on audition costs that have typically been the responsibility of productions, the union has said.
•••• The last time actors went on strike was in 2000 in a dispute over their commercials contract.

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.

• 101- Cory's Road to China;

• ••• Troy Cory was among the first international entertainers and the first American entertainer to perform in the People's Republic of China, beginning in 1988. In itself a notable culture-historical feat, in view of China's closed door policies of the late 70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's administrative climate in comparison is much less restrictive now and China's open door policy enables many entertainers to introduce themselves to the populace Chinese audiences.

• 114- Scott B. Whitenack-Stubblefield Esq., great-grand son of wireless telephone inventor, Nathan B. Stubblefield, died - By Troy Cory
Scott Bryan Whitenack passed away untimely on September 18, in Los Angeles, CA.
•••• Scott, aka Scott Stubblefield, was one of four children with siblings, Alden, Keith, and Priscilla. (His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32). His parents were Troy Cory Stubblefield, an entertainer and author and Dorothy Swafford, owner of a furniture and antiques retail store. Scott's children are Steven, David and grand-children, William, Bruce, Cora and Max, borne to Steven and Skylark. Scott's great-grandfather is Nathan B. Stubblefield, the inventor of Radio, in 1882, and patent holder of the wireless telephone (1908) and his great-great-great .... grandparents were - John and Priscilla Alden who were part of the pilgrimage who sailed on the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock from England in 1620.

(The Stubblefield story is incorporated within several photographs and denotes of and about S Scott to show how their personal ambitions and dreams parallel each other - both died - before their dreams and ambitions were fulfilled)

During the time he studied for the State Bar, Scott lived with Josie and myself on our family estate in Pasadena. He passed the State Bar the first time and was among only 33% to do so.
The balance of time was spent doing cinematography for my TV shows, which he considered an artistic outlet besides his major life's work, in the field of law. After he passed the State Bar he handled numerous legal cases and ended up working as an associate lawyer with Melvin Belli with whom he engaged in several cases and won a lawsuit that became precedent case law. Whitenack was committed to his legal profession for over three decades.•
r••• If you needed legal advice or help with a motion filing, Scott was there with his trusty law books. He was very intelligent, outspoken and an independent thinker.
•••• He also was a family man, who loved hiking and scuba diving, a good game of tennis and enjoyed bringing his sons to Paramount Ranch for regular family outings and Father's Day get-togethers.
•••• As to his love for cinematography he videotaped additional segments for the movie "Christmas around the World." Scott later became my producer and cinematographer for "To Catch a Dream" filmed in Europe. The video project brought him and the production team to Paris, Venice, Cannes, Munich and Salzburg. Said footage with perfect picture-book pans of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, the leaning Tower of Pisa and the Venice Bridge of Sigh, is a legacy he left behind for us.
•••• In the early 90s during the writing of our 4-volume set of books entitled "the SMART-DAAF Boys" about the invention of radio and the the wireless telephone, Scott lent a helpful hand in giving his legal aspect of his great-grandfather Nathan Stubblefield's copyrighted and patented invention. He also was the co-author of "Bank America, the Tortfeasor." •

••••• He leaves behind his father, Troy Cory-Stubblefield, his mother Dorothy Steele, sister Priscilla Stubblefield Cory, brother and sister-in-law Alden and Sara Stubblefield, step mother Josie Cory-Stubblefield, sons David and Steven, daughter-in law Skylar, and great-grandchildren, William, Bruce, Cora and Max; Nephew Ryan White, and niece Jenny Wharton. His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32.
