The 2000 Most Important Films Of All Time I An Infograph If you live long enough, you get to appreciate culture’s patterns. You see that Menudo is really NSYNC is really One Direction. Eventually, society just craves an old flavor and it’s mixed anew. No place is this more true than with film. The History of Film is the latest archival infographic from HistoryShots. It’s a meticulously researched terraform of our pop-culture past. 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?
Oscars 2013: how politics won the Academy's votes 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.
Månson: Vi har en palme-vinder! I hvert fald i min bog 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.

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.
