Film: State of Cinema Address: 49th San Francisco International Film Festival, 29 April 2006

Letter to a boy from his mother Boy, my darling, You asked me the other day, just as you were dropping off, what people's dreams were like before the cinema was invented. You who talk blabberish and chase rabbits in your sleep, hurrumphing like a dog . . . you who never watch television . . . I've been thinking of your question ever since. I have to talk to some people in America about cinema. I'm going there now on the plane and I can't think of anything but your question... [source]

Creative partnerships: fundraising for short film projects

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NONPROFIT & VOLUNTARY SECTOR MARKETING, Issue 1 2001
Andrew Kelly
Although exhibition opportunities for short films are expanding in the digital age, problems of obtaining financial and marketing support remain. However, a number of creative initiatives, involving partnerships between companies, funding bodies and filmmakers, show that fundraising is possible even for projects that are difficult to sponsor. One of these is Brief Encounters, the Bristol Short Film Festival, which, over the past six years, has created long-term partnerships with a range of companies and funders, and built a new and successful festival. These creative partnerships are explored in this paper. Copyright © 2001 Henry Stewart Publications [source]

Best of the Sámi Film Festival 2008

AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST, Issue 1 2009
ALISON COOL
ABSTRACT, In June of 2008, the American-Scandinavian Foundation and the National Museum of the American Indian presented a screening of selections originally shown at the 12th annual Sámi Film Festival held in Norway. This marked the first time that a version of the festival, which features works by and about the indigenous peoples of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, was presented in New York. Three of the films shown,Last Yoik in Saami Forests?, Herdswoman, and Calmmis Calbmái (From an Eye to an Eye),examined how Sámi communities draw on shared traditions as a productive resource for reimagining Sámi identity in a contemporary context.

Exelon engages employees in climate-change challenge

GLOBAL BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE, Issue 3 2010
Howard N. Karesh
Exelon Corporation, one of the first U.S. utilities to advocate for federal climate-change legislation, has moved into uncharted territory as it seeks to fully engage employees in its ambitious goal for significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and its roadmap to a low-carbon future. Despite a multipronged internal communications program, enterprise-level efforts did not sustain the employee enthusiasm that accompanied the July 2008 launch of the Exelon 2020 low-carbon roadmap, and the company went back to the drawing board. The Exelon 2020 Engagement Team,this time rechartered around action rather than conversation about employee environmental initiatives,has driven a second round of efforts. The early success of an employee film festival, a contest around at-home energy conservation, and empowering local green councils to run with the ball has fueled cautious optimism that employees are finally jumping aboard. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
