The Cinematograph: Birth of an Art
Self - Art Historian
Throughout the 19th century, imaginative and visionary artists and inventors brought about the advent of a new look, absolutely modern and truly cinematographic, long before the revolutionary invention of the Lumière brothers and the arrival of December 28, 1895, the historic day on which the first cinema performance took place.
Alice Guy-Blaché: A História Não Contada da Primeira Cineasta do Mundo
Self
Quando Alice Guy-Blaché terminou seu primeiro filme em 1896, em Paris, ela não era apenas a primeira cineasta mulher, mas também uma das primeiras diretoras de cinema a fazer um filme narrado. Be Natural segue sua trajetória, desde secretária na Gaumont até sua indicação como Diretora de Produção em 1897, e sua subsequente carreira de sucesso de 20 anos na França e nos Estados Unidos, como fundadora de seu próprio estúdio, além de roteirista, diretora e/ou produtora de mil filmes - e depois completamente apagada da história. Até agora.
Bird by Bird with Annie: A Film Portrait of Writer Anne Lamott
Assistant Camera
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Freida Lee Mock, ‘Bird by Bird with Annie’ offers an intimate portrait of a writer and her craft, interweaving the story of Anne Lamott's life—in itself a deeply moving tale of addiction and redemption, grief and joy, intellect and faith—with a year's worth of interviews, public lectures, and footage of the writer at work, focusing particularly on Lamott's candid, humorous, and disarmingly straightforward advice on the struggles and joys of writing. The author's reassurance and guidance concerning the process of writing—which has little resemblance to its glorified image—becomes a stirring call to action celebrating the potential of each individual, the silencing of our inner critics, and the courage to create something honest and meaningful. Poignant and inspirational, ‘Bird by Bird with Annie’ takes us deep into Anne Lamott's intoxicatingly brave world, one in which writing is a means of finding out who we are, how we live, and why we're here.
