SCRIPT TO SCREEN SCREENPLAY READING
Next Wednesday - FEATURE LENGTH SCRIPT READING of INFINITE THREAD by Loredana Gasparotto plus short excerpt from NJCU script class. 7PM FRIES 223. free and open to the public.
One of the major components of preparation of a narrative work to go into production is the link of writing drafts of the work, then public reading by actors and actresses of the text (which usually sends the project back into another more finalized re-write). In the past, we've done public script readings in the department but this is the first in several years.
For all media arts majors interested in writing and production, this should be an event not to be missed as it truly is an interesting learning experience. Many times in New York City, there are public script readings at such places as La Mama's and off broadway theater spaces which sometimes attract high profile actors and actresses to read (they often are looking for more interesting work).
INFINITE THREAD is the first feature length narrative developed by Loredana Gasparotto whose shorts TAINTED and HAMARTIA recently screened at Anthology Film Archives as part of the New Filmmakers Series. TAINTED was awarded the Director's Citation prize in the 2010 Black Maria Film and Video Festival.
FREE. TELL OTHERS.

re: interesting camera link
this is a link brian timmons forwarded to me. really wild new camera development that the owner/designer of AATON is developing (a 4K digital video 'back' to an existing 35mm AATON film camera). this perhaps is another strand of technological change....already still photographers have a digital camera back mount for old standard large format cameras like the Hasselblad getting the best of both worlds...

re: ooops
oops typo. fellowship for the flaherty seminar (that is robert flaherty) not his distant cousin johnny flarherty...
re: FLARHERTY FELLOWSHIPS DEADLINE!!!!
hey all,
the flaherty seminar is a week long boot camp of screenings, discussions, more screenings, then dancing and drinking...all like at a glorious getaway retreat style setting. i've gone three times and we've had a few students do the student fellowship with success and loads of experiences. best thing is that they try and get all the filmmakers who are screening to attend so you can hear things straight out of the mouths of the makers (last time i was there, i had lunch with kenneth anger). info. below...deadline fast approaching.
ABOUT THE FLAHERTY SEMINAR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM:
Each year the Flaherty offers fellowships to students and emerging and mid-career filmmakers and film professionals who would be unable to attend the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar without financial support. The fellowship program is designed to promote diversity within the participant pool, which is essential in providing the unique critical experience of the Seminar. Besides interacting with the group at large, Flaherty fellows take part in private meetings and discussions with the featured artists and other special guests in attendance, including programmers, writers, and academics. Fellows arrive on campus a day before the Seminar begins to learn about the history of the Seminar, discuss pre-assigned readings relating to the theme, and watch and discuss each other's films, by way of an informal Fellows film screening. Fellows will be able to return home with creative inspiration, experiences and connections, which will aid them in furthering their own careers and artistic endeavors.
Complete Fellowship program information and application procedures are available at the Flaherty website www.flahertyseminar.org.
OTHER FLAHERTY SEMINAR FELLOWSHIP/FUNDING SOURCES:
Professional Development Fellowships:
The Professional Development Fellowship is designed for emerging or mid-career professionals such as filmmakers, programmers, writers, scholars, archivists, and media professionals, from both the U.S. and abroad. Awards are partial grants that cover a portion of the registration fee. Grants are applied directly towards registration for the Seminar. Deadline is March 5, 2010.
Student Fellowships:
Student fellowships are open to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in a degree program. All majors are welcome; we select a diverse array of students from throughout the U.S., as well as internationally. Awards are partial grants that cover a portion of the registration fee.

re: black maria film festival this friday!!!!
29th Annual Thomas Edison Black Maria Film and Video Festival to Premier at Home Base, NJCU, on February 5
1/28/2010
The national tour of the 29th annual Thomas Edison Black Maria International Film and Video Festival, New Jersey’s only Academy Award-qualifying festival for documentary shorts, will premiere at its home base, New Jersey City University, on Friday, February 5 at 7:00 p.m. in Margaret Williams Theatre of Hepburn Hall, 2039 Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City. Admission is free.
The 29th Festival features 70 award-winning works. Many of the filmmakers will attend the opening.

In response to the rise of terrorism around the world, Professor Steuerwald and Mr. Baker revisit a live radio performance piece they first created in 1981 on WAER-FM.

Dennis Conors’ “Breaking Boundaries: The Art of Alex Masket,” a film that contains a soundtrack with music performed by the Diane Moser Quintet, which includes Andy Eulau, an NJCU adjunct professor of music, will also be screened at the opening.
Among other Festival works that will be screened at the NJCU premier are “Pickles to Nickels” by Danielle Ash of Brooklyn; “Gordita” by Debby Wolfe with Kaz Kipp, Maureen Morrsion, and Rebecca Ham of Los Angeles; “Missed Aches” by Joanna Priestley, Portland, Oregon; “Banana Bread” by Barton Katonah of New York City; “Sebastian’s Voodoo” by Joaquin Baldwin of Sherman Oaks, California; “The Regular” by Jamie Kirkpatrick of New York City; “Train” by Darius Clark Monroe of Brooklyn; and “Young Continent” by Sarah J.

re: the flaherty film seminar fellowship
for the interested..
we've had several students attend the flaherty with this fellowship. it's a week of hell (read: film screenings and discussions all day and into the night...then late night drinks and hanging out with filmmakers). a really great way to meet filmmakers and film scholars.
We are now accepting applications for
the 2010 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar
Fellowship Program
Deadline: March 5, 2010
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Flaherty is currently offering two types of Fellowships which provide economic support to applicants interested in attending the Seminar: Professional Development and Student.
We will announce other Special Fellowship opportunities, as they are confirmed. For eligibility requirements, application, and a full list of the fellowships that were offered during 2009, please go to www.flahertyseminar.org.
The Fellowship Program is led by an academic who has attended previous Flaherty Seminars and is designed to further your knowledge of cinema through participation in an array of unique discussions. Fellows will also participate in all general Seminar activities. The program is rigorous and rewarding; it includes selected readings, special meetings with guest artists and other professionals, and smaller discussions with other Fellows. All fellowships are highly competitive.
Professional Development Fellowships:
The Professional Development Fellowship is designed for emerging or mid-career professionals such as filmmakers, programmers, writers, scholars, archivists, and media professionals. Awards are partial grants that cover a portion of the registration fee. Grants are applied directly towards registration for the Seminar.
Student Fellowships:
Student fellowships are open to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in a degree program (PhD students will be considered in the Professional Development category). All majors are welcome; we select a diverse array of students from throughout the U.S., as well as internationally. We look for students who have the capacity to interact in both small and large groups, and be willing to share their passion for film. Awards are partial grants that cover a portion of the registration fee. Grants are applied directly towards registration for the Seminar.
