We will use the acclaimed interventionist and participatory approaches of the award-winning National Film Board of Canada’s Filmmaker-in-Residence (FIR) project. Our scale will be global, but rooted firmly in the FIR philosophy — putting people, process, creativity, collaboration, and innovation first.

À noter que ce petit film a reçu l’Ours d’Or du meilleur court métrage à la Berlinale en 2009.
«Paranormal Activity»: voilà un film qui génère un «buzz» considérable depuis quelques semaines. D’après les rumeurs qui circulent sur le Web, Steven Spielberg aurait dit de ce film qu’il était hanté. Dans les couloirs, on raconte que «Paranormal Activity» est basé sur des faits réels, et certains s’avancent même à dire qu’il s’agit en réalité d’un véritable documentaire.
Learning from SHOGUN was distributed by the Japan Society of New York through the good offices of Peter Grilli, and two printings quickly sold out. The authors are pleased to make it available here in PDF format for interested readers and teachers, but please remember that this is copyrighted material and may not be reproduced for more than personal or instructional use. Note that the PDF version is bookmarked for easy access to the separate chapters. We also want to emphasize that Learning from SHOGUN is about Clavell's novel, not about either the TV miniseries or the feature film versions. A postscript to the book does offer my own first impressions of the miniseries, however, of which I was able to see a preview before it appeared on national television.

French journalists working on Web documentary Charlotte Burrous / The Daily Record Visiting Fremont County was more than what they ever dreamed about. It went so well they have decided to come back this fall to complete the Web documentary, which is supported by the National Centre du Cinema in Paris. Traveling from France, journalist David Dufresne and photographer Philippe Brault arrived recently to create a Web documentary on society and the culture of the people who live in the prisons and around them in Fremont County.
Fremont County, Colorado : 36000 souls, 14 prisons, 7731 inmates. Welcome to the Prison industry. Prison Valley is a cross-media documentary about a community that chose inmates as income.
Slitscan imaging techniques are used to create static images of time-based phenomena. In traditional film photography, slit scan images are created by exposing film as it slides past a slit-shaped aperture. In the digital realm, thin slices are extracted from a sequence of video frames, and concatenated into a new image.

Voici l’histoire d’un film qui n’a jamais vu le jour (comme tant d’autres). Un film dans lequel chaque protagoniste, et notamment le réalisateur, s’est investi corps et âme pendant plusieurs années. Un film qui se voulait l’adaptation, très personnelle, d’un des plus grand roman de science-fiction jamais écrit. Un film jamais réalisé. Voici l’histoire de l’adaptation de Dune par Alexandro Jodorowsky.
Of course I'm flipping out in our Editor's chat about the fact that Alejandro "The Holy Mountain" Jodorowsky collaborated with Jean "Mœbius" Giraud, H.R. Giger, and Pink Floyd to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune into a film in 1975 — a project that never took off due to funding issues — when Rob, cultured beyond American measure, casually coughs that me not knowing about it is impossible, simply because it is too awesome not to be known.
Yet, I did not know!

Why the value of still images is collapsing It’s that old supply-and-demand thing. The supply of digital images is way, way up. At the same time, advertising in magazines and newspapers is sinking. If you want to continue earning a living at something you already do, it’s helpful if your trade is difficult to do and expensive to get started. Photography during the film-era was this way. Every time I pushed the shutter-button a couple of bucks flew out the window. Now the cost of getting into the pro photography game is virtually nothing (aside from the cost of the camera, the computer, the software, the training… still a relatively low investment for what you’re able to accomplish). I’m grateful that HDSLR cinematography is expensive and problematic right now. The Trib Is Dead. Long Live The Trib. For several generations, ads in magazines and newspapers were the leading consumer of commercial stills. Sorry Charlie, those days are gone. Today advertisers are increasingly moving their efforts over to web-based campaigns. It’s not personal. It’s demographics. OK. So that means that it is personal. The web, with it’s ability to provide instantaneous feedback to advertisers enables those spending the ad bucks to target their message exactly where it needs to be within minutes. For an ad placed in the wrong magazine, the response time is measured in weeks or months. Print advertising is plummeting (stats here). It’s not the economy, stupid. It’s the medium.
