Motion Picture Production Code. Production Code cover The Motion Picture Production Code was the set of industry moral censorship guidelines that governed the production of most United States motion pictures released by major studios from 1930 to 1968.

Motion Picture Production Code

It is also popularly known as the Hays Code, after Hollywood's chief censor of the time, Will H. Hays. The Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which later became the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), adopted the code in 1930, began enforcing it in 1934, and abandoned it in 1968, in favor of the subsequent MPAA film rating system. The Production Code spelled out what was acceptable and what was unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a public audience in the United States.

Background[edit] In 1922, after several risqué films and a series of off-screen scandals involving Hollywood stars, the studios enlisted Presbyterian elder Will H. Code Hays. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

British Pathé. 15 Great Films That You Never Hear About on r/movies. Red Digital Cinema shows off dev kit to make its cameras app-controllable. LAS VEGAS—On the show floor at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention this week, Red cameras were a common sight.

Red Digital Cinema shows off dev kit to make its cameras app-controllable

Surprisingly common, considering the digital cinema company debuted its first camera, the Red One, just seven years ago at the 2007 NAB conference. (At the time, Red was accused of hyping vaporware, because it had promoted its as-yet-unseen product for so long.) This week, Red continued its short tradition of putting custom camera functionality in the hands of its customers, showing off its Redlink Development Kit and Bridge. The Redlink Bridge is an aluminum wireless box that attaches to a Red Digital Still and Motion Camera (DSMC). It weighs about a half a pound and can receive signals from up to 50 feet away. Using the Development Kit, filmmakers can build their own apps to remotely control features "including Record Start/Stop, Shutter Speed, White Balance, ISO, and programmable User Keys,” a Red press release said.

Watch Alain Resnais' Short, Evocative Film Toute la mémoire du monde (1956) French New Wave filmmaker Alain Resnais, who died at the age of 91 last week, changed cinema forever with a string of intellectually rigorous, nonlinear masterpieces like Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961).

Watch Alain Resnais' Short, Evocative Film Toute la mémoire du monde (1956)

Both films are about Resnais’s two obsessions – time and memory. Hiroshima is about a doomed relationship between a French actress and a Japanese architect who are both haunted by the war. Marienbad is an enigmatic puzzle of a movie that sharply divided audiences – either you were mesmerized by the movie or you were bored and infuriated by it.

'Sherlock' Star Benedict Cumberbatch on Being a Workaholic, Coping With Fame and Avoiding Social Media (Exclusive Video)

Why did he initially fear that Sherlock would be "cheap and cheesy"? What advice did the greatest actress of all offer him when he asked her to describe her "acting process"? And why does he fear that social media could "take over my life and probably ruin it"? These are among the questions that the 37-year-old A-lister answered last week over the course of an hour-long conversation moderated by yours truly as part of In Conversation, a new series on which BAFTA-New York and The Hollywood Reporter are partnering -- and which THR is pleased to debut exclusively here.

The conversation was taped in front of a BAFTA audience at New York's The Standard High Line hotel. Watch Benedict Cumberbatch's spot-on Peter Jackson impersonation.

The 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2014

"Birdman"Synopsis: An actor best known for playing a superhero in movies tries to mount a Broadway play.What You Need To Know: Comedy and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are not two things that have traditionally gone together before now: the Mexican director's work, on "Amores Perros," "21 Grams," "Babel" and "Biutiful," has been gorgeous, but pretty bleak. So it's exciting to see him take a left-turn with this original comedy, which sees Michael Keaton (completing a comeback year that also sees him crop up in "RoboCop" and "Need For Speed") riffing on his own Bat-persona in a lo-fi comedy backed by Fox Searchlight.Why Is It Anticipated: Well, it's a great premise, and set photos and the like have made this look pretty hilarious.

Keaton's been long overdue for a comeback, and should get a doozy of a role here, and he's joined by a killer cast that also includes Naomi Watts, Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Amy Ryan, Merritt Weaver and Andrea Riseborough. 9. 3d Printed Merlin Style Steadicam: MO-FLO 1.0.

Quentin Tarantino Lists the 12 Greatest Films of All Time: From Taxi Driver to The Bad News Bears. Creative Commons image via Wikimedia Commons Any list of the most respected American filmmakers of the past half-century would have to include Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, and Martin Scorsese. The latter two have kept creating, and prolifically, but that doesn't delay those heated debates about who will most proudly carry the auteur's tradition into the next few decades. Much smart money bets on Quentin Tarantino, who, at age 50, has already racked up over twenty years (and if you count My Best Friend's Birthday, over 25) of demonstrating his distinctive cinematic sensibility.

Stanley Kubrick’s List of Top 10 Films (The First and Only List He Ever Created) Image by Moody Man, via Flickr Commons When, over the past weekend, I noticed the words "Stanley Kubrick" had risen into Twitter's trending-topics list, I got excited. I figured someone had discovered, in the back of a long-neglected studio vault, the last extant print of a Kubrick masterpiece we'd somehow all forgotten. No suck luck, of course; Kubrick scholars, given how much they still talk about even the auteur's never-realized projects like Napoleon, surely wouldn't let an entire movie slip into obscurity.

The burst of tweets actually came in honor of Kubrick's 85th birthday, and hey, any chance to celebrate a director whose filmography includes the likes of Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, I'll seize. "The first and only (as far as we know) Top 10 list Kubrick submitted to anyone was in 1963 to a fledgling American magazine named Cinema (which had been founded the previous year and ceased publication in 1976)," writes the BFI's Nick Wrigley. 1. Woody Allen Lists the Greatest Films of All Time: Includes Classics by Bergman, Truffaut & Fellini. We’ve looked this week at the favorite movies selected by such respected filmmakers as Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Today we round out this trio of eminent directors with the greatest films of all time according to Woody Allen, voting in the almighty Sight and Sound poll.

The director of Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Midnight in Paris selected, in no particular order, the following: The 400 Blows (François Truffaut, 1959)8½ (Federico Fellini, 1963)Amarcord (Federico Fellini, 1972)The Bicycle Thieves (Vittorio de Sica, 1948)Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (Luis Buñuel, 1972)Grand Illusion (Jean Renoir, 1937)Paths of Glory (Stanley Kubrick, 1957)Rashomon (Akira Kurosawa, 1950)The Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergman, 1957) It comes as no shock that Ingmar Bergman makes the list, given Allen’s well-documented and openly admitted enthusiasm for (and, in cases like Interiors, direct imitation of) the man who made The Seventh Seal.

Quentin Tarantino Lists His Favorite Films Since 1992. Yup, we mentioned Quentin Tarantino last week, and we’re doing it again this week because Rosario has unearthed this nice clip. In six snappy minutes, Tarantino (director of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dog, Inglorious Basterds, etc) lists his favorites films made since 1992 — when he, himself, started making films.
