2: Template | Minimalist Posters That Reduce Your Favorite Movies To Basic Shapes. In the future, when the history of the Internet is taught alongside social studies and algebra in middle school, there will be a brief, marginal mention of minimalist posters and how they, for a moment, encapsulated a bit of the late-aughts web. Curious students may do a little research of their own, going on to discover just how much of a hold the design trend once exerted over the popular imagination (or, at least, that of micro-bloggers). They may even come across Michal Krasnopolski’s set of minimalist classic movie posters.
Speculation aside, Krasnopolski’s posters are the latest to crop up in the meme’s short but copious history. The typical minimalist poster combines movie iconography and a pared-down midcentury aesthetic, something we’ve seen again and again and again. But don’t roll your eyes just yet. After spending months developing a series of movie posters that was going nowhere, Krasnopolski decided to start afresh. Don’t expect every theme to be, well, abundantly clear.

Sundance For Horror Films Only: The Stanley Film Festival Looks to the Future. By Eric Kohn | Indiewire May 6, 2013 at 12:15PM Horror film festivals are hardly a new concept, but in its first year the Stanley Film Festival has hit on something new: a horror film festival in a haunted hotel.
The Stanley Hotel. Horror film festivals are hardly a new concept, but in its first year the Stanley Film Festival has hit on something new: a horror film festival in a haunted hotel. On paper, the idea holds immediate appeal: The hotel, a beautiful architectural achievement located amid the natural splendor of Estes Park, Colorado and built in 1909, embraces the rumors that late residents haunt its hallways. Legend has it that Stephen King had a nightmare in room 217 that inspired him to write "The Shining. " Appropriately, visitors can buy a room 217 keychain in the gift shop and tour the hotel in search of ghosts. And now, once a year, they can watch movies, too -- including, of course, "The Shining," which screened one night outdoors on the hotel's expansive lawn.
The Rising Tide. Extremely obscure film suggestions? - film. Watch Animated Films at HDFEST HD video and digital cinema. Oscar Nominated Short Films Pulled From the Web. Normally, the Best Short Film awards at the Oscars are a great opportunity to go the kitchen to grab a beer. After all, you probably haven’t seen these films and don’t have much invested in who’s winning or losing (unless you’re the gambling type). That changed this year when all of the animated short film and live action short film nominees made their way online, letting anyone watch them for free. But then the animated nominees vanished from YouTube this past week. What happened? It turns out that Carter Pilcher, the CEO of distributor Shorts International sent a letter to the nominees, personally requesting that they take down their work.
“Unlike Webbies or Ani’s, the Academy Award is designed to award excellence in the making of motion pictures that receive a cinematic release, not an online release. Pilcher’s urging worked: the nominees all willingly removed the films after the February 19th cut-off date for Oscar voting. We see exactly where Pilcher is coming from.
Oscars 2013: how politics won the Academy's votes | Film | The Observer. Early in 1927, Louis B Mayer, the head of MGM studios and soon to be the highest-paid executive in the world, met a handful of fellow conservative thinkers to create an elite Hollywood organisation with the grandiose title of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The aim was to deter the development of unions, or at least to control and arbitrate their operations. The academy, and the awards set up the following year as an expression of the good taste of its members (of whom there are now 6,000), began in politics and continue to be influenced by it.
Twenty years later, MGM went for three years without winning an Oscar and Mayer was fired by the company's ultimate boss in New York and ceased to be a serious figure in the industry. Those who choose to live by the Oscars die by them. Its 25 February cover features a stove-hatted Abe Lincoln sitting among the guests at the awards ceremony. Argo is an adventure story. Placed under the critical microscope, all four are flawed. Månson: Vi har en palme-vinder! I hvert fald i min bog | Kultur. Asghar Farhadis film 'Le Passé' ligner noget nært et perfekt bud på Guldpalmevinderen. Jeg ved, det er tidligt og lidt noget pjat at råbe op om en vinderfilm på Cannes-festivalens tredje dag og med kun 4 ud af 20 film i bagagen… men det var nu fornemmelsen, jeg havde i maven efter at have set instruktøren bag den Oscarvindende 'Nader og Simin - en Separation's nyeste film Le Passé, der er den første, Asghar Farhadi har lavet uden for hjemlandet Iran. Separationen er fortid I Le Passé møder vi et separeret par, Marie (Bérénice Bejo) og Ahmad (Ali Mostafa), der efter fire år mødes for at få finaliseret deres skilsmisse.
Men som filmen filosofisk viser i startscenen, hvor titlen 'Le Passé' viskes ud af en vinduesvisker, klistrer fortiden til nutiden som et indtørret insekt på en bilrude. En filmisk babuschka-dukke Ligesom i En Separation afslører fortællingen sig i små bidder - som en filmisk babuschka-dukke. . - Sandheden fluktuerer og ændrer sig ud fra øjnene, der ser.

I've mentioned from time to time the "shot at a time" sessions I do at film festivals and universities, sifting through a film with the help of the audience. This all began for me in about 1969, when I started teaching a film class in the University of Chicago's Fine Arts program. I did. One thing I quickly discovered was that even much smaller audiences can contain someone who can answer any question. Of course you don't simply creep along and talk about what you're looking at.
I bought some books that were enormously helpful. I already knew about the painter's "Golden Mean," or the larger concept of the "golden ratio. " Now what do I mean by "positive" or "negative? " There are many other rules of thumb. In simplistic terms: Right is more positive, left more negative. Now let me walk you through a single shot from Hitchcock's "Notorious.

The History of Film is the latest archival infographic from HistoryShots. It’s a meticulously researched terraform of our pop-culture past. (Ed note: See a different take, Martin Scorsese’s top 85 films, here.) Before he could build the graphic, though, designer Larry Gormley had to narrow down thousands of candidates, collected over two years, to a more manageable figure. With the list in hand, Gormley began plotting. “The original feature-length movies were dramas, then came adventure/action films, then Westerns, etc. It’s a surprisingly effective visual.
