The 36th Toronto International Film Festival
by Frederic Lapointe in « EN, Events / Tradeshows / Conferences »2 Sep
The Toronto International Film Festival is the leading public film festival in the world, screening more than 300 films from 60+ countries every September. A diverse array of films are shown: Hollywood galas, complete with red carpet glamour; the best in international cinema, the latest homegrown comedies… and everything in between.
It all started in 1976 as a collection of films from other festivals — a “festival of festivals” — the Toronto International Film Festival has become one of the most successful cinematic events in the world, universally regarded as an ideal platform to premiere films. Boasting a public eager for the best in contemporary film, as well as international attention from media, distributors, producers and buyers along with a galaxy of stars, the Toronto International Film Festival is considered the premiere film festival in North America. The festival has been described as “the most important film festival in the world - the largest, the most influential, the most inclusive.” *
This year’s festival is from September 8th to 18th, 2011.

On our website, www.stilcasing.com , you will find the complete list of our products. I would like to send you a free sample of one or other of our products.
Why am I doing this? One simple reason: In my opinion, you can’t possibly know the benefits you can bring to your work life through STiL products unless you experience it. I don’t think you should have to decide anything until you first experience for yourself how beneficial it will be.

UCLA Festival of Preservation
by Frederic Lapointe in « EN, Events / Tradeshows / Conferences »4 Mar
3.3.11 - 3.27.11
UCLA FESTIVAL OF PRESERVATION
FROM THE DIRECTOR
As director of UCLA Film & Television Archive, it is my great pleasure to introduce the 2011 UCLA Festival of Preservation. We have worked to put together a program that reflects the broad and deep efforts of UCLA Film & Television Archive to preserve and restore our national moving image heritage.
Our Festival opens with the restoration of Robert Altman’s Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982), funded through our good friends at The Film Foundation and The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. This is the first fruit of a new, larger project, funded by The Film Foundation, to preserve Mr. Altman’s artistic legacy. Another more recent film is Barbara Loden’s Wanda (1970), an unjustly neglected independent masterpiece, restored by senior preservationist, Ross Lipman, with funding from The Film Foundation in association with GUCCI.
Moving backwards in time, we present several films noir, restored by preservationist Nancy Mysel, including the recently rediscovered gem Cry Danger (1951), starring Dick Powell, and Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (1950), featuring James Cagney in his last gangster role.
Our newsreel preservationists, Blaine Bartell and Jeff Bickel, present their restoration of the classic John Steinbeck documentary, The Forgotten Village (1941), while senior preservationist Jere Guldin has restored two silents directed by Rex Ingram, both previously considered lost: The Chalice Of Sorrrow (1916) and The Flower of Doom (1917). And our senior most preservationist Robert Gitt, will unveil two new programs of Vitaphone shorts, preserved in cooperation with Warner Brothers.
This year we have also expanded our preservation of classic television. In cooperation with the Righteous Persons Foundation we will present three episodes of Ralph Edwards’ This is Your Life, which discussed the Holocaust for the first time on American television. On a lighter note, we also highlight two television musical specials starring Gene Kelly.
The Archive’s internationally recognized preservationists will appear in person at many Festival screenings to introduce the films and discuss their work with audiences.
Before the Festival ends, UCLA Film & Television Archive will also go live with our new website. The new site will be interactive, offering information, blogs and streaming film clips. Be sure to visit: www.cinema.ucla.edu.
All of our preservation work and public programs—including this Festival—are funded by donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies. We are most thankful for the generosity of these organizations and individuals.

Director
UCLA Film & Television Archive
