Watch the 2015 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Dinner and Awards + the Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree, Gena Rowlands

April 14, 2015 by Lamb L.

From film critic Chuck Wilson:

“The video of the 2015 L.A. Film Critics Association dinner has been posted. It was a grand night, and of course, a very special one for me, as I was able to help present the Career Achievement Award to Gena Rowlands. If you go to 32:30, you can see Tom Hardy’s charming Best Actor acceptance speech, and that leads into the Gena tribute…among the many gems of the night: a lovely presentation to Leonard Maltin (1:04), and amazing speeches by Ava DuVernay (1:32), Wes Anderson (1:45), and Patricia Arquette (1:50) and Richard Linklater (2:00).”

Watch director Matt Amato‘s video tribute to Ms. Rowlands first:

Indiewire: “20 Celebrated Directors Who Never Won a Best Director Oscar”

February 26, 2014 by Lamb L.

Indiewire just posted this rather appalling list of great film directors, giants of the genre, who never won a Best Director Academy Award. Granted, some may have been given honorary Oscars late in their careers, but still. Let’s just say the list includes Hitchcock, Bergman and Kubrick. Something to keep in mind while taking in the big show on Sunday.

New Book “100 Ideas That Changed Film”

June 25, 2013 by Lamb L.

Posted on The Atlantic website last month, Maria Popova’s piece about David Parkinson’s new book 100 Ideas That Changed Film:

“From serials to scores to queer cinema, a new book documents movies’ most important innovations.

“When a small handful of enthusiasts gathered at the first cinema show at the Grand Cafe in Paris on December 27, 1895, to celebrate early experimental film, they didn’t know that over the next century, their fringe fascination would carve its place in history as the “seventh art.” But how, exactly, did that happen? In 100 Ideas that Changed Film, Oxford Times film reviewer David Parkinson and publisher Laurence King—who brought us 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design and the epic Saul Bass monograph—offer a concise and intelligent chronicle of the most influential developments since the dawn of cinema.

“From technologies like magic lanterns (#1), the kinetoscope (#3), and the handheld camera (#78), to genres like slapstick (#21), poetic realism (#50), and queer cinema (#97), to system-level developments like the star system (#23), film schools (#38), and censorship (#48), to cultural phenomena like fan magazines (#31), television (#63), and feminist film theory (#86), the book blends the illuminating factuality of an encyclopedia with the strong point of view of a museum curator to reveal, beneath this changing flow of technologies and techniques, cinema’s deeper capacity for playing on universal emotions and engaging our timeless longing for escapism, entertainment, and self-expression.”
