Vikings is a historical fantasy drama television series created and written by Michael Hirst for the History channel of Canada. Filmed in Ireland, it premiered on March 3, 2013, in Canada. The series concluded on December 30, 2020, when the second half of the sixth season was released in its entirety on Prime Video in Ireland, ahead of its broadcast on History in Canada from January 1 to March 3, 2021. A sequel series, titled Vikings: Valhalla, is in development for Netflix.
Vikings is inspired by the sagas of Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking who is one of the best-known legendary Norse heroes and notorious as the scourge of Anglo-Saxon England and West Francia. The show portrays Ragnar as a farmer who rises to fame by raiding England and eventually becomes a Scandinavian king, with the support of his family and fellow warriors. In the later seasons, the series follows the fortunes of his sons and their adventures in England, Scandinavia, Kievan Rus’, the Mediterranean and North America.
An Irish-Canadian co-production, Vikings was developed and produced by Octagon Films and Take 5 Productions. Michael Hirst, Morgan O’Sullivan, John Weber, Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, James Flynn and Sheila Hockin are credited as executive producers. The first season’s budget was reported as US$40 million.
The series began filming in July 2012 at Ashford Studios in Ireland, which at the time was a newly built facility. This location was chosen for its scenery and tax advantages. On August 16, 2012, longship scenes were filmed at Luggala, as well as on the Poulaphouca Reservoir in the Wicklow Mountains. Seventy percent of the first season was filmed outdoors. Some additional background shots were done in western Norway.
Johan Renck, Ciarán Donnelly and Ken Girotti each directed three episodes. The production team included cinematographer John Bartley, costume designer Joan Bergin, production designer Tom Conroy, composer Trevor Morris and Irish choir Crux Vocal Ensemble, directed by Paul McGough.
On April 5, 2013, History renewed Vikings for a ten-episode second season. Jeff Woolnough and Kari Skogland joined Ken Girotti and Ciaran Donnelly as directors of the second season.
Two new series regulars were announced on June 11, 2013: Alexander Ludwig, portraying the teenage Björn; and Linus Roache, playing King Ecbert of Wessex. The second season undergoes a jump in time, aging the young Björn (Nathan O’Toole) into an older swordsman portrayed by Ludwig. The older Björn has not seen his father, Ragnar, for “a long period of time”. Lagertha remarries to a powerful jarl, a stepfather who provides harsh guidance to Björn. Edvin Endre and Anna Åström signed up for roles in the second season. Endre had the role of Erlendur, one of King Horik’s sons.
Morgan O’Sullivan, Sheila Hockin, Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, James Flynn, John Weber and Michael Hirst are credited as executive producers.
This season was produced by Steve Wakefield and Keith Thompson; Bill Goddard and Séamus McInerney acted as co-producers. The production team for this season included casting directors Frank and Nuala Moiselle; costume designer Joan Bergin; visual effects supervisors Julian Parry and Dominic Remane; stunt action designers Franklin Henson and Richard Ryan; composer Trevor Morris; production designer Mark Geraghty; editors Aaron Marshall for the first, third, fifth, seventh and ninth episodes and Tad Seaborn for the second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth episodes; and cinematographer PJ Dillon.
Norwegian music group Wardruna provided much of the background music to the series. Wardruna’s founder Einar Kvitrafn Selvik also appeared as an actor in the show during the third season, portraying a shaman.
Michael Hirst announced plans for the fourth season before the third season had begun airing. The fourth season began production in Ireland around the Dublin and Wicklow areas in April 2015. Additional location photography featuring Ludwig took place in Canada.
Finnish actors Peter Franzén and Jasper Pääkkönen, as well as Canadian actress Dianne Doan, joined the cast of the fourth season. Franzén played Norwegian King Harald Finehair, a potential rival to Ragnar. Pääkkönen was cast as Halfdan the Black, Finehair’s brother. Doan portrays Yidu, a Chinese character who has a major role in the first half of the fourth season.
Former Toronto Blue Jays player Josh Donaldson is a fan of the series and in January 2016, it was announced that he would have a guest appearance in the fourth season of the show as “Hoskuld”.
At the same time that the series was renewed for a fifth season, it was announced that Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers would be joining the cast, as Heahmund, a “warrior bishop”. Vikings’ creator Michael Hirst, explained: “I was looking at the history books, and I came across these warrior bishops. The antecedents of the Knights Templar: these are people who were absolutely religious, yet they put on armor and they fought. Don’t let their priestly status fool you, either. ‘They were crazy! They believed totally in Christianity and the message, and yet, on the battlefield, they were totally berserk.'”
WWE star Adam Copeland was cast in a recurring role for the fifth season as Kjetill Flatnose, a violent and bold warrior. He is chosen by Floki to lead an expedition to Iceland to set up a colony. Irish actor Darren Cahill plays the role of Æthelred of Wessex in the fifth season. Nigerian actor Stanley Aguzie told local media he had landed a small role in the fifth season. The fifth season also features Irish actor, musician and real-life police detective, Kieran O’Reilly, who plays the role of “White Hair”. In April 2017 it was announced that Danish actor Erik Madsen would join the cast for the fifth season, as King Hemmig. He spent several months of 2016 on the set of The Last Kingdom, portraying a Viking. Season 5 involved location shooting in Iceland as well as Morocco, the latter standing in for Sicily and Egypt.
Russian actor Danila Kozlovsky joined the series for the sixth season, as Oleg of Novgorod, the 10th century Varangian (east European Vikings) ruler of the Rus people. Katheryn Winnick, who portrays Lagertha in the series, directed an episode of the season. Music for the series was contributed by Scandinavian artists with strong Nordic folk influences, including Wardruna and Danheim.

Is it just me or does this look like Regina finally confessing her love for one Miss Emma Swan
"No, Miss Sw… Emma… You don’t understand.”
"Understand what, Regina? What don’t I understand?!”
Regina flexes her fingers, straightens them, looks at the woman standing before her. “This has absolutely nothing to do with you bringing Marian back,” Regina says, firmly, but full of emotion. “Nothing to do with that.”
"Then tell me," Emma starts, taking a single step towards Regina. "Tell me what it has to do with, because 30 seconds ago you wanted to murder me for all of this."
"You don’t get it, do you?"
"I guess I don’t."
Regina sighs, looks at the ground, breathes and breathes, in through her nose, out through her mouth. “You… I trust you, Emma. I trust you. And I don’t trust anyone. You know this.”
"I didn’t do this to hurt you, though!"
"I know," Regina says quietly. "I just…" Her words fall short as she looks at Emma standing there, her mouth downturned, her brow furrowed, her hands now shoved into her back pockets. "I guess I’m not okay with any of this."
"I wish I could send her back now that this happened…"
"Emma," Regina breathes. "That’s not what I mean."
"Then…" Emma tilts her head. "What do you mean?" she whispers.
Regina shakes her head, moving her hair from her face. “You need to figure that out by yourself I think.” She turns, slowly, hoping that Emma gets it, that Emma finally sees it.
"You’re not okay with Hook, are you?"
Regina stops in her tracks, balls her hands into a fists, cracks a knuckle and then lets out the breath she was holding. “No,” she whispers. “I’m not okay with him… and you.”
"Regina," Emma chokes out. "What are you saying?"
After another deep breath and willing tears to stay away, Regina looks over her shoulder, licks her lips and says, “You really need to work on your detective skills, Miss Swan.”
Emma stands there and watches as Regina walks away, the sound of her heels clicking on the pavement the only noise in her mind.

The Proposal by Anton Chekhov explained in Bengali
1.Discuss Chekov’s “The Proposal” as a supreme example of a one-act play.
Ans) Anton Chekhov has a significant impact on the creation of modern drama. A One-Act- play narrates the happenings of a single day and revolves around a solitary incident which takes place at a particular place. “The Proposal” by Anton Chekhov describes the events of the day when Lomov goes to Chubukov’s house to seek his daughter’s hand in marriage. The play deals with a specific issue… Therefore, Chekov has chosen only three characters to highlight the theme of courtship and marriage. The strength of the play lies in its energy that is built through a series of dialogues. The three characters, Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov, Natalya Stepanova and Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov with their very witty and humorous dialogues make the play alive. . Chekov has successfully criticized the lifestyle and mannerism of the landlord gentry of the 19th century Russia. Chubukov’s drawing-room is the place where all the drama takes shape. Thus, “The Proposal” fulfils all the criteria of a one-act play.
2. Describe the character of Chubukov as a sensible father.
Ans) Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov, A a well wealthy landowner in Chekhov’s play “The Proposal”, was troubled with the responsibility of finding a suitable husband for his daughter he readily accepted it and encouraged him to talk to his daughter. It is clear that he disliked Lomov as he gave vent to his real feelings during the course of their argument. However, when he found Natalya getting excited for bringing back Lomov, as a sensible father he realised that Natalia and love should get married. Though Lomov had abused them and insulted their family we must consider that he was a man of principles. He shouted at them and insulted them in a fit of anger but his actual self got revealed when he said that he did not want the meadows but was acting on principles. So he considered Lomov to be a man of moral values. Hence for his daughter’s sake hi almost forced them to get married even in the middle of a fierce battle of words. In this way Chubukov proved himself to be a sensible father to whom his daughter’s well-being was his first priority.
3.Give a character sketch of Natalya in the one-act drama – The Proposal by Anton Chekhov
Ans) In the play “The Proposal”, Natalya Stepanova is twenty-five years old lady, the daughter of a wealthy landlord Chubukov. We learn that she is an excellent housekeeper, not bad looking, well-educated and stubborn. When she appears in the play she almost destroys the romantic atmosphere of the play and all the expectations of romance in the situation that is supposed to be romantic. She shows no” Love-sick-cat “ kind of attitude that her father has led us to expect. This spirited lady mocks and argues with Lomov unabashed but gets extremely excited and realises to call him back when she comes to know about his proposal of marriage. In her extreme eagerness to get married, she accepts the proposal never even uttered by Lomov and kisses the undisposed and confused Lomov at her father’s command but starts to argue immediately after that. Thus, Chekhov uses her as a tool to satirize the process of courtship and marriage.


(Hollywood Life) - Shirley Temple Black, one of the most famous child actresses, died on Feb. 10, surrounded by her family and friends. The actress, famous for her adorable smile and strawberry curls, began acting at the age of three. She starred in films during the Great Depression and made almost 30 between 1932 and 1939.
The actress carried a nation during a time when they needed laughter the most. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said: “As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.”
Shirley, who starred in films like Heidi, The Little Princess, and Curly Top, didn’t just stick to acting. Although she was even awarded her own mini-Oscar when she was just seven, she stopped acting at the age of 22.

Shirley went on to devote her life to helping others. She served as a U.S. ambassador to Ghana from 1974 to 1976 and to Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992.

I’m writing a talking scene today, and I’ve been putting it off. I have 25 pages of script and in the middle of it there’s a block of panels that’s waited several weeks to have the dialogue added.
I hate talking scenes. Admittedly I write a lot of dialogue (so do Moore and Gaiman, is my hubristic excuse) but comics is a visual medium and you really don’t want it all to grind to a halt while two characters natter at each other. What I mean is: while they do nothing but natter to each other.
In a movie you can have characters walking while they talk. The changing background scenery creates visual interest. You can even work in some little visual details to counterpoint the conversation as one of them buys a newspaper or stops to light a cigarette.
In a comic it’s not so easy, because there it’s much more obvious that you’ve just got a bunch of two-shots from various angles and distances. The medium demands more visual variety than a movie, and then it can just end up looking desperately busy: the direct overhead shot, the over-the-shoulder, etc.
Okay, so spice it up with a secondary narrative thread. Two characters are talking and there’s a knock at the door, and one guy answers it while they're still talking, and gets a parcel from the FedEx guy, and they're still talking (not about the parcel) while he unwraps it, and then if the parcel contains something that ironically reflects the last line of dialogue you have an almost classic comic sequence.
For instance, say it’s one guy’s birthday and he ends whatever it is he was talking about with the line, "I'm not going be jerked around anymore." And he unwraps this parcel and it turns out to be a puppet. Just cut there and the die-hard comic nerds will love it. (Feel free to groan, by the way.)
That example is just tricksy, though - it has dramatic irony, which is entertaining, but it'd be much better if the secondary narrative thread illustrates something about the characters that isn't being said in the dialogue.
In one episode of Mirabilis I had Jack talking to Estelle, and a lot of it is exposition. They get to her car and the chauffeur says it's broken down and Jack is saying, "Newfangled contraptions, eh? I'll get you a cab." And Estelle says, "Nonsense," flips up the hood and fixes it - to Jack's astonishment. So that was good because it not only covered the expository stuff in the dialogue, it told us something about Estelle (she's independent, modern and good with machines) and more importantly it moved their relationship on, because Jack is left feeling like he's made a fool of himself so next time they meet he's got the baggage of this scene to deal with.
My ideal scene is one that does all of the following:
- Evokes the feeling of being there (setting, weather, time of day, etc)
- Reveals character (facts about somebody and/or aspects of their personality)
- Advances the plot
- Develops or changes relationships and/or emotions
- Contains the theme of the story (though not usually overtly!)
- Entertains the reader (ie is imaginative, interesting, intriguing, exciting - or just funny)
The scene I have to write today? It’s one of those scenes where two characters take stock so that we get to see who they’ve become in the course of the story before going into the big finale. A campfire scene. My favorite campfire scene ends like this:
You are what you love, not what loves you.
That’s what I decided a long time ago.
But that’s Charlie Kaufman. His dialogue is brilliant, he had a great performance (two performances!) from Nicolas Cage to carry it, and he had the genius to set that scene right in the middle of a life-or-death manhunt.
Now if I can just come up with something as good as that. And if I can’t, at least you’ll have great pictures by Leo and Nikos to take your mind off it.

Unfortunately, Sam might not just be the weirdest kid in school — Sam might be the weirdest kid ON EARTH. “The Weirdest Kid I Know” is a new sci-fi musical with a tenacious scientist, scrappy aliens, and hopefully a lot of sauerkraut.

One of the great privileges of being an actor is to be a part of theatrical productions that can make a positive impact on our community. I am happy to announce that I will once again be a part of Frack Theatre's "Stonewall'd" (previously "Village Voices") by Oscar Lopez. I will bring to life the story of Rev. Mark, a gay Lutheran pastor in NYC's Greenwich Village. The story centers on a homeless trans girl living with HIV, a 74-year-old bartender at the Stonewall Inn, and a party boy, with Rev. Mark and a lesbian activist keeping everything grounded in reality. The new play recounts the tragedies and triumphs of New York's LGBT community.
What excites me the most about the project is the way Oscar allows us an artistic way to respond to the 2013 homophobic, sidewalk murder of Mark Carson which shocked all of the Five Boroughs.
Stonewall'd is scripted from hours of interviews with real-life characters in the West Village.

There are five assignments during the course of the semester, and each builds in some way on the skills learned in the previous assignments. Assignment tapes should be from 3-5 minutes in length and have a title at the head and your name at the end.
Assignment #1: Variations on a Scene
Secure the camera to a tripod and shoot a static image or reproducible scene while altering the following parameters:
A) Focus: plane of focus; focal length; and depth of field.
B) Exposure: over / under / correct; privileging one element in the composition at the expense of another.
C) Lighting: high key (broad, even, bland); low-key (dramatic); and chiaroscuro (artistic, moody).
D) Audio: layered sound effects; background music; voice-over; close-miked vs. shotgun-miked; and silent.
Assignment #1a: Variations on a Scene Part Two: Editing
Edit one short scene in several different ways while altering the following parameters: rhthym / pacing; point of view; color; sound.
Assignment #2: Dream sequence
A) Select a dream sequence from a commercial film to present in class.
B) Keep a dream journal for one week.
C) Create a scenario / storyboard for a two-minute dream sequence.
D) Shoot the sequence.
Assignment #2a: Audio Re-editing of Dream Sequence
Assignment #3: Slice-of-Life Mini-Narrative (Fictionalizing Reality)
A) Shoot a live action diary or documentary excerpt - taking place in the everyday world - of an exchange of dialogue or action between two or more people (unscripted and un-self-conscious). Use a surveillance camera if necessary to obtain natural and spontaneous behavior.
B) Reenact this scene from memory with the same or random participants. Don't allow either yourself or the other person(s) to watch the recorded material beforehand. Ideally this would take place in the same space as the original scene, but this is not absolutely necessary.
C) Write a scripted version of the scene to be used as a blueprint for re-staging the scene.
Assignment # 4: Deconstructing Narrative
Here, the big emotions will be played small and the small emotions played big. Use lighting, sound, music underscoring, color manipulation and other special effects to invert the normative expectations of a scene. For example, a dramatic scene that could be the turning point or denouement in a film can be undercut and reduced to the quotidian with the music replaced by everyday sounds and the dialogue (if any) altered or removed. (Cf. Removal of all dialogue moments from a Hollywood film in Martin Arnold's recent installation leaving only eye line matches). Or the opposite can be achieved (Cf. Remake of To Kill a Mockingbird by Martin Arnold).
Assignment #5: Final Project
Create a 5 to 8 minute piece using one of the following three themes as a take off point.
1) Self-inventory: Recreate an incident from your life and provide a narrative, then transform it.
2) Alter ego / fictional persona.
The project development stages will be as follows:
A) Brainstorming ideas.
B) Automatic writing without editing of the whole idea.
C) Class presentation of Final Project proposals.
D) Storyboard: bring in 3 video clips / photographs / writings that relate to your ideas.
E) Rough cuts of the final project.
F) The final edit.


Hemp for Victory is a film that was made by the USDA in 1942 as a part of the war effort. For a long time there was no documentation that the film existed and the government denied ever making such a film.
In 1989, John Birrenbach, Founder of The Institute For Hemp, received a copy of a copy of a copy of the film on VHS. Having spent a great deal of time at the University of MN Agricultural library he searched for evidence of the film. Located in a USDA brochure about the war effort propaganda films available from the USDA was a listing for the film Hemp For Victory along with a short description.
This inspired John to search the U of MN Library system for the film. He ran into a brick wall but was told by the librarian that it had been in their collection but had been removed. They couldn’t say who removed it but policy was that only the organization that submitted something had the right to remove it. So presumably at some point the USDA removed this film from Ag libraries across the nation.
Not able to locate the film with the U of MN John went through countless people at the USDA looking for the film. All indicated that there never was such a film and that they knew nothing about the film. All was looking pretty bleak.
Unaware that Jack and Chris had both been to the National Archives in May of 1990 John called up the National Archives library and inquired about the film. At first the woman wanted to know if he had an ID number for the film, which unfortunately he didn’t have. He asked if it was possible to search for the title, which it was and revealed the ID number for the films. Yes there were two reels of film that comprised the entire 15 minute film.
John naturally inquired how to obtain a copy of the film from the archives. He was told that he would need to pay a fee and the National Archives would have it copied from 35mm onto a VHS Tape and sent to him. Very promptly he sent out the request along with payment.
It was a couple months later at a rally in WI but on by Ben Masel that John spoke with Jack and told him of his discovery. Always the skeptic Jack told John that they didn’t have the film he had been there personally and looked for it. A couple weeks later John received his copy of the films from the National Archives.
BUT who really found the film. This writer knows that Jack Herer got his copy from William Conde in Portland OR. It has been verified by those that were present like Steve Orgel, and Paul Stanford both activists who assisted Jack as he finalized his book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”.
The ONLY copy of the film to be recovered from a government source verifying it’s authenticity certainly goes to John Birrenbach then Founder of The Institute for Hemp, which became The Institute for Cannabis, this organization.
This film can now be downloaded from the National Archives at the following link - https://catalog.archives.gov/id/1682
You will notice the location identifier for the film case is the same as the one on the archives page


There are many places to watch TV shows and movies, but what about the best place to watch them? What should you know before watching?
The what to know before watching shang-chi is a question about what you should know before watching the movie. The answer will include the different types of movies that are available, as well as some other information that may be helpful to know before watching.

Bustle is the source of this information.
Before you watch, there are a few things you should know
Fairies, witches, monsters, ghosts, and werewolf movies have a certain attraction among moviegoers. It’s incredible to think that in 1998, the producers and filmmakers came up with such a concept and created a film that went on to become such a smash success. Children look forward to Halloween the most. They roam from one street to the next, frightening people and earning sweets and chocolate bars in exchange.
Halloweentown is one of the greatest Halloween movies, evoking a magical impact in the audience; it is still adored by those who grew up in the 1990s.
The storyline of the film is a classic one, in which a 13-year-old girl called Marnie discovers that she is a witch and belongs to a witch family. Her grandmother, who is a benevolent witch, transports her and her siblings to Halloweentown, a place where witches, vampires, goblins, and other legendary creatures go about their daily lives. Marnie quickly learns that some bad forces are plotting to take over Halloweentown, and she prepares to assist her grandma in saving the day.
Mental Floss is the source of this information.
The film is appropriate for all ages and audiences; everyone likes it equally. The film appeals to youngsters the most since it tells the story of an imagined country populated by strange animals that ordinary people find frightening. It depicts the journey of a magical family who had always lived a regular life, oblivious to their abilities.
What would happen if Aggie, the beloved grandmother witch, and Marnie, along with her siblings, embarked on a quest to save Halloweenland, a place Marnie had never visited? Will she be able to understand the animals who live there? What will they do to preserve what is rightfully theirs?
The film is ideal for the must-see list, particularly during the Halloween season.
What to watch before what if is a question that many people have. This blog will answer the question with links to some of the best movies and TV shows that are currently available.


Rafaël Klepfisch (Brussels, 1992) holds a Master degree in Filmmaking from the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (IAD) in Louvain-la-Neuve and a Master degree in History from the University of Le Mans.
To date, he has written and directed six short films, including Mayla (2017) and L’eau, seule certitude (2018), which have been selected in numerous festivals.
For Rafaël Klepfisch, filming first always takes on a reflexive form. The video takes the form of an essay, it allows us to reposition and bear witness to a perceived reality.
In 2019, he begins a collaboration with Camille Dufour on the project Les 7 péchés du capitalisme (The 7 Sins of Capitalism). Together, they are also working on creating a comic strip. Rafaël Klepfisch is also a professor of Film History at Preparts. He also leads workshops at the Cinematek about comics and cinema.


Alena Pitts is a 15-year-old actress, author and vocalist.
The Kendrick Brothers’ WAR ROOM marked Alena’s professional acting debut, with Alena being cast in the major supporting role as Danielle Jordan. The movie was a box-office hit in 2015, becoming the 6th highest grossing Christian film in box office history. The film immediately launched Alena headfirst into the spotlight at the age of 11.
Shortly after, Alena started on a new journey and co-authored a three-book fictional series aptly titled, Lena In The Spotlight (Zonderkids, 2017). The books are written with her mother, Wynter Pitts, author and founder of For Girls Like You Magazine.
Though having experienced unbelievable success, Alena’s journey has not come without loss. She tragically and unexpectedly lost her mother on July 24th 2018. Though the pain has left her and her family heartbroken, they are not without hope and are using Wynter’s passing from death to life as an opportunity to share the hope found in Jesus Christ. Alena has found that sharing her story in song and writing has brought her the most healing.
Alena remains very grounded and values her relationship with Jesus Christ as her highest priority, followed by her commitment to her family including three sisters, Kaitlyn (12) and twins Camryn and Olivia (10). She and her family reside in Franklin, TN.


“Generation War”: A Conversation Among Oliver Mahrdt, Andrew Nagorski, Ingrid Scheib-Rothbart, and Anne-Katrin Titze
Monday, January 27, 2014, 6:30 p.m.
Deutsches Haus at NYU
Berlin, 1941: Five young Germans gather to celebrate their friendship and bid one another farewell. Generation War, a remarkable two-part epic that follows their lives through 1945, was a popular sensation in Germany (there appropriately titled, Our Mothers, Our Fathers) seen by more than 7 million. Its story sparked passionate debate about personal responsibility and the relative guilt of ordinary people for Nazi attrocities: Two brothers become Wehrmacht soldiers on the Eastern Front; a third man – a Jew – faces deportation to the camps and abuse by Polish partisans. Both women are profoundly compromised: one as an army nurse, another while trying to advance her career as “the next Marlene Dietrich.” A superb ensemble cast makes the fate of each of these characters essential, gripping drama -- as relevant today as 70 years ago.
Oliver Mahrdt grew up in Hockenheim and Heidelberg, Germany. He studied philosophy, marketing and tourism in Heidelberg and Ravensburg. After a brief successful acting career he continued studying directing at New York Film Academy, when he met the late and legendary agent Hanns Wolters, who was one of Marlene Dietrich’s first agents in Berlin in the 20s and 30s. He started working at Hanns Wolters Theatrical Agency in 1996. Today, he represents among many others, the German Film Industry in the United States, as well as Canada. His tasks include organization of high level events, orchestration of US Releases of German films, management of promotional campaigns and awards (Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film, Golden Globes for Germany). He is co-author of Market Analysis of German Films in the US for the Cultural Ministry of Germany and Film Foerderungs Anstalt (FFA) with Eugene Hernandez, and he is the sole author of the follow up study published in 2007. He was also the co-curator of Hanns Wolters: Émigré Impressario at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York City. He is an appointed member of Players Club, NYC. In 2007 he also became an appointed Member of the prestigious Heidelberg International Club.
Andrew Nagorski, who spent more than three decades as a foreign correspondent and editor for Newsweek, is vice president and director of public policy for the EastWest Institute, an international affairs think tank with offices in New York, Brussels and Moscow. Nagorski is based in New York but continues to travel extensively, writing for numerous publications. His most recent book is Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power (Simon & Schuster, 2012). –

Since 1995 she has been a free-lance consultant for film and media and she also was an officer of The Fassbinder Foundation, Inc., New York. From 1997 to 1999 she was the president of the New York Film/Video Council and since 2002 she is the officer of its board.
Anne-Katrin Titze (moderator) is the New York critic for Eye For Film. She is a lecturer on fiction, film, fashion, and fairy tales. Recent features include conversations with Sam Shepard, Claire Denis, Paolo Sorrentino, Wong Kar Wai, Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Isabelle Huppert.

James McCullough, from the mysterious “Council,” gives a special assignment to CIA agent Aaron Delgado to attack the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and pin the blame on Muslim Terrorists. Delgado and fellow agents, Phillip Singer and Chase Jordan, work with a group of unsuspecting engineers to develop unmanned jets that will hit their assigned targets.
The Army and the FBI begin to uncover the plot, forcing Delgado to intervene. The CIA agents are also forced to deal with an increasingly suspicious George Poole, the lead engineer working on the drones, who becomes skeptical on how the remote controlled planes will be used. A battle between good and evil ensues as the plot to attack America becomes a hard-hitting reality.
"Operation Terror is a top quality drama that is both entertaining and disturbing. It tells the story of what many believe really happened on 9/11. Perhaps we will never know if this fictional scenario is true, but it answers far more questions than the official version of that event, and it has the aura of truth about it."

Sweeten The Punch (PDF) was my second full-length play, written circa 2003. It is the life story of a narrator who is a pathological liar.
There are also scenes where a stereotypical 1950s family deals with life in America. In retrospect, I probably added those to pad the length.
Honestly, it's a bit of a mess, but I'm sure there are some nuggets of great ideas buried somewhere deep inside.
Mostly I just liked the title and did my best to come up with a story to go along with it. Maybe I'll revisit the idea some day.


Worldwide, there are a number of people who are disappointed that the Academy Awards in 2016 will yet again be a sea of white faces with no minorities in any of the major categories. However, despite the lack of diversity at the top, there is some exciting news in other nominations.
I was thrilled to find out that movies Theeb ذيب and Ave Maria السلام عليك يا مريم have been nominated to represent Arab film at this year’s Hollywood award ceremony.
Theeb is a 2014 Jordanian Arabic-language film written and directed by Naji Abu Nowar and is nominated for a Best Foreign Film. It is the first time a movie from Jordan has been nominated.
Ave Maria is a short film out of Palestine, France and Germany and has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.
Alif Mabrouk (1,000 Congratulations in Arabic) and good luck to them both on February 28th in bringing home their Oscars!
While war rages in the Ottoman Empire, Hussein raises his younger brother Theeb (“Wolf”) in a traditional, yet isolated, Bedouin community. The brothers’ quiet existence is interrupted when a British officer and his guide ask Hussein to escort them to a water well. Theeb secretly chases, but the group soon find themselves trapped amidst threatening terrain riddled with mercenaries, revolutionaries, and outcast raiders. Naji Abu Nowar’s powerful and assured directorial debut is a wondrous “Bedouin Western” about a boy who, in order to survive, must become a man and live up to the name his father gave him.

Vietnamese movie Người Vợ Cuối Cùng (The Last Wife), a blockbuster Vietnamese-American director Victor Vũ, will be screened at multiplex cinema theatres in the Czech Republic from January 18
HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese movie Người Vợ Cuối Cùng (The Last Wife), a blockbuster Vietnamese-American director Victor Vũ, will be screened at multiplex cinema theatres in the Czech Republic from January 18.
Distributed by the 3388 Films – a film production, post-production and distribution company in California, The Last Wife will be screened at the Praha Flora and Praha Chodov cinemas located within the Atrium Flora and Westfield Chodov shopping centres in the capital city of Prague.

In December, 3388 Films presented this movie in Canada and the US, and at present it is still screening here in Việt Nam.
The Last Wife is about Vietnamese women under the Nguyễn Dynasty in the 19th century.
The movie tells the story of a young woman, played by Kaity Nguyễn, living in a poor family during the semi-feudal colonial society of Việt Nam. Love and betrayal, social and family issues are themes of the film.
In mid-November, another Vietnamese movie also was presented in US theatres by the 3388 Films.
Live – Phát Trực Tiếp by director Khương Ngọc has riveted Western audiences at its sold-out North America premiere as the official selected Vietnamese Spotlight Film of the 2023 Newport Beach Film Festival.
|A scene from the movie ‘Live – Phát Trực Tiếp’ by director Khương Ngọc. — Photo courtesy of Lotte Entertainment
The movie portrays vividly the hyper-competitive world of live-streaming mukbangers [the person who creates and publishes mukbang videos] and online reviewers in Việt Nam.
Although the film didn’t get high revenue in Việt Nam, it received positive reviews from Western audiences and critics when it was screened in the US.
Asian Movie Pulse – an online platform focuses on Asian movie entertainment, has ranked this movie among top 5 in its list of 30 Best Southeast Asian Movies of 2023.
“Live – Phát Trực Tiếp is an excellent film that manages to eloquently communicate its plethora of comments while also retaining entertainment through an approach that moves towards comedic, dramatic and even horror paths,” it wrote.
Director of the 3388 Films, Thiên A. Phạm, said: “This is a special time for us as a film distributor because we believe that we can bring both the movies to present abroad, accessing international audience.
“It’s certainly not an easy road, but we are willing to take risks for independent and international filmmakers, and we will continue our efforts to explore new distribution avenues for these movie.” —

Acting can turn you into a millionaire
"Where ever I am, I always find myself looking out of the window wishing I was somewhere else", quoted Angelina Jolie. Do you too wish to be somewhere else at the moment, living a life which is yours and yet not yours alone? Or are you passionate about behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances? Or do you want a larger than life experience? Well, if the answer to all the above questions or either of them is YES, then a career in acting is calling you.
Acting as a career:
Doesn't Shahrukh Khan dancing with the most beautiful women on-screen make you jealous? If it does, you too can opt to be the next superstar. But, you must keep in mind; acting is not just about name and fame. It's something way beyond that. You need to be passionate towards your work because making a mark in the industry is not a child's play. Many a times, you might even face rejection to get that first break. Also, unlike other professions which have a fixed time schedule, acting is not a 9-5 job. You might need to wake up early morning or work late nights continuously. At 6 am on a chilly December morning, dancing in snow with just a single jacket on your body, life does not appear all that bright. Yet after it is shot and screened, when you hear a huge crowd screaming your name, or want to be clicked along or to just get a glance of your smile, believe me, it's worth it. With persistence and hard work, and skills, you are sure to shine, sooner or later.
Acting and money:
Once you hit the bull's eye, the road is all rosy. Acting brings along a huge amount of wealth too. It is indeed one of the highest paid careers. You want to earn those bucks?
Here's a list of top Bollywood and Hollywood actors of 2013:
Highest paid actors of B-town:
- Salman Khan: Known to charge an amount of Rs 60 crores for his films, Salman Khan is the highest paid actor of Bollywood.
- Amir Khan: The perfectionist of B-town, Amir Khan charged Rs 45 crores recently for his role in Dhoom 3.
- Akshay Kumar: The action man Akshay Kumar is known to charge an amount of Rs 40 - 45 crores for his films.
- Kareena Kapoor: The girl from the famous Kapoor family of Bollywood who kickstarted her career from Refugee, now tops the female list and charges Rs 10 to 15 crores for her roles.
- Katrina Kaif: The glam doll Katrina Kaif Rs 10 to 12 crores per film.
Highest paid actors in Hollywood:
- Angelina Jolie: The Oscar winning actress tops the female list of Hollywood actors with an income of USD 33 million.
- Robert Downey Jr.: With an earning of USD 75 million, Robert is the highest paid male actor of Hollywood.
- Jennifer Lawrence: Jennifer stands second to Angelina Jolie with USD 26 million.
- Channing Tatum: Earning USD 60 million, Channing Tatum, best known for his films like Step Up, The Vow, Dear John, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, besides others, is also included in the list.

Actor Bradley Cooper has voiced his interest in bringing the Hyperion Movies to the big screen and is currently working his own adaptation. It's always exciting to hear about interest in making these epic books into films, but it's difficult to imagine the story being squeezed down into one or even two films. The format of the story line might lend itself better to a television series. If someone like HBO or Showtime took the lead on producing a Hyperion TV series it could be a much more fulfilling project able to go deep into the characters and story arcs. But then again seeing anything in the Hyperion universe made into film or TV show is the dream!

Director Scott Derrickson (The Day the Earth Stood Still, Paradise Lost) is set to take on "Hyperion Cantos" for Warner Bros. and GK Films. Derrickson joins a project that will merge two Dan Simmons sci-fi novels -- "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion" -- and bring them into one film being scripted by Trevor Sands.


Britain’s largest female sculpture 英國最大的女性雕塑
用來 「describing art 描述藝術品」 的詞彙
The statue was based on a character from a Shakespeare play. Which play?
Surfing into Plymouth on the morning tide, 『Messenger’, as she’s known, struck an incongruous and imposing figure.
這座被稱作 「信使」 的雕塑正乘著早潮駛向普利茅斯，雖然她看上去有些突兀，但外表卻威風凜凜。
The statue has been created using both ancient and modern techniques. She’s assembled from cast bronze segments formed using robots and computer-aided design. Her stance is based on an actor rehearsing for the Shakespearean play, Othello.
Joseph Hiller, Sculptor
If you think about most statues and Victorian statues in towns, they’re of men standing motionless. She’s very dynamic and, you know, that’s something I was very keen to capture.
Once 『Messenger’ was safely delivered by sea, she then took to the air and was lifted onto dry land ready to take her place outside the Theatre Royal and at the centre of Plymouth’s cultural ambitions.
一旦 「信使」 沿海路被安全地運到目的地，隨即會升空，並送上陸地，準備在皇家劇院外的普利茅斯文化中心安家。
Adrian Vinken, Chief Executive, Theatre Royal, Plymouth
Just look at her. She is beautiful – she will make an impact on the city and hopefully people will come for many years to come to see her because she is rather special.
Originally based on the character Bianca, a courtesan in Othello, the subject matter has led to some bemusement in the city. But as she takes up her permanent place outside the theatre, it’s hoped she will become a magnet for visitors and Plymothians alike – A 『Messenger’ that will be heard far and wide.
這座雕塑的題材最初基於《奧賽羅》中的交際花 「比安卡」，這讓市民們感到有些困惑。但人們希望她在劇院外安家之後，能成為吸引遊客和普利茅斯人的一道風景線，做一位聲名遠颺的 「信使」。
It was based on the character Bianca, from Shakespeare’s play, Othello.

Her lovely hairstyle grabbed my attention from the start, and that’s why I think most of you will find it interesting. Simply follow the tutorial below and I am sure you are going to fall in love with this hairstyle as much as I do.


Running a film festival during a pandemic is a challenge. It was more so last year, when most Americans had not been vaccinated.
The president and director of the Chandler International Film Festival says they still managed to hold a great event in 2020.
“Luckily, nobody got sick,” Mitesh Patel said. “And it was a really good event.”
This year, the festival returns for the sixth time and it won’t have the restrictions it faced a year ago, which included a 33 percent maximum occupancy in theaters and 50 percent at the after-parties.
The festival, Jan. 18-23, is also returning to downtown with showings at the LOOK Dine-In Cinemas. With fewer restrictions and most Americans vaccinated, Patel expects an even better festival.
“It’s a whole one year of work, and we worked so much this year. We thought it was going to be full-on again,” Patel said.
He said that was why they decided to expand the festival from four to six days. What they didn’t know was that the Omicron variant would have the number of COVID-19 cases soaring to record highs just before the festival begins.
“Definitely, it’s challenging, but I’m a filmmaker and I accept challenges.”
Patel said he plans to offer rapid COVID-19 testing at the theater. And like last year, if patrons are uncomfortable coming to the theater, they can buy a digital pass to stream movies at their homes.
About 115 films were selected for this year’s festival. The opening night film is “American Cherry.” It won two jury prizes at the Cannes Film Festival for first-time filmmaker and producer. It was also named the best film of the Berlin Movie Awards.
The story is about a teen-age girl who must deal with family issues, including mental illness and drug abuse. She does that while falling in love the mysterious boy next door. The movie is described as a psychological romance-thriller. It was directed by first-time filmmaker Marcella Cytrynowicz.
The other films include some foreign entries, from about a dozen other countries. They include movies from Argentina, China, Japan, and a number of European countries. Patel said just under a third of the films at this year’s festival would be from outside the U.S.
Patel said at least three celebrities had committed to attending, but he expected more than that would attend.
Sean Young, star of “Stripes” and both “Blade Runner” films, is one of the celebrities who have agreed to attend. Joining her at Pat Finn and Bubba Ganter.
Finn will be instantly recognizable as “Pat” from the Valley Toyota commercials.
Patel said the festival makes it a priority to promote local filmmakers. One of those local filmmakers is John Badalamenti, from Scottsdale. His documentary, Horse Heroes is one of the films at this year’s festival.
“The film was shot completely in Arizona, in Gilbert and Scottsdale,” Badalamenti said.
He said being in a film festival is vital as he looks to secure a distributor. He had to make a choice to make his Arizona debut in Chandler, or Phoenix. He chose Chandler.
“I like their layout, I like their attitude,” Badalamenti said. “I really like that they feature so many diverse filmmakers.”
He said being in a local festival is extremely important.
“What’s nice about Chandler, local people who know about the film, heard about the film, or are in the film, get the opportunity to come see the film in a theater,” he said.
Patel said the Chandler International Film Festival is starting to create its own identity, and it’s one where people know they will have fun.
“This is our sixth year, and we’re still learning what we’re good on,” Patel said. “What I’m learning so far, filmmakers and people who attend the festival are telling me this is one of the coolest film festivals, and the reason is because our movies … are fun. We have every night an after party. We have an opening ceremony, a closing ceremony, red carpet every day.”

In the vast world of film, TV, and the arts, one of the most prestigious careers is that of the casting director. Locating talented actors for productions is the focus of casting directors, who can have come up through the ranks from a range of educational backgrounds and gained a lot of expertise in casting or talent management. In order to decide whether or not becoming a casting director is the right career move for you, it is helpful to have a firm grasp of the role, the salary range, and the requirements for entry. This piece delves into what the casting director does, how much they make, and the steps it takes to get there.
To Begin, Who Exactly is a Casting Director?
A casting director is a member of the filmmaking industry whose job it is to find and cast actors and actresses in movies, TV shows, commercials, and photo shoots. They work together with the show’s producers and directors to find the perfect fit for each role, whether it be a lead, supporting, or extra.
What is the Job of a Casting Director?
The duties of a casting director can change depending on the size of the production, the company they work for, and the location of the shoot. Among their general responsibilities are:
- Analysing dialogue and character sketches
- Having a meeting with the producers and directors to discuss what qualities make for great actors and characters.
- searching through portfolios of potential models, actors, and other performers
- Analysing potential candidates’ audition tapes
- Conducting open auditions and talent searches in other cities
- Screen tests and confined auditions for actors
- Selecting skill sets of people who meet moral standards
- Involvement in the casting process, working with producers and directors to identify and secure leading and featured actors
What is the Salary Range for a Casting Director?
Many factors can influence a casting director’s salary, some of which are:
- Expertise and schooling
- An undertaking’s remit
- When they work
- The genres of film and television they cast for
Casting managers, who do similar work to casting directors, can find salary information on indeed. It’s possible for casting directors to earn up to R 1 381 434 annually.
Casting Director Career Advice
One can get into this field in a variety of ways. Some begin with gaining a basic education, while others jump right into the workforce. For those interested in entering the field of casting, we offer the following suggestions:
Obtain Your Bachelor’s Degree as Soon as Possible
Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in any profession that’s capable of providing you with groundwork in transferable skills like writing, research, innovative thinking, and clinical reasoning will boost your employment prospects, career progression, and potential earnings. Some potential fields of study are:
- Media on the silver screen and the small screen: The primary goals of this four-year undergraduate program are to educate students about the evolution of film and television, provide hands-on experience with media production across multiple genres, and encourage students to develop their creative voices through the development of original portfolio pieces.
- Studying the history of theatre, acting and directing techniques, creating original works for the stage, performing in front of audiences, and managing a theatre company are all possible paths to take as a theatre major.
- If you’re interested in the many different types of visual art, but want to focus on just one, this is the major for you. You can hone your artistic faculties by taking classes in painting, photography, or sculpture.
- Writing, research, and the study of communication methods, practices, and customs are all part of a communication major, as is the development of skills for applying those lessons in a variety of contexts.
- Finance, accounting, marketing, and advertising are just some of the areas of expertise that can be gained from a business degree.
- As an ambitious young casting director, you need to be able to communicate and lead effectively, and all of these programs can help you develop those skills.
Get Apprenticeship Experience
Interning in the film, theatre, or expert photography industries is a great way to gain expertise, establish contacts, and learn about casting regardless of if you plan to earn a degree in the field. Meeting producers, directors, and actors through an apprenticeship at a production company or theatre is a great way to get your foot in the door as an assistant in the entertainment industry. Interning at a casting or talent agency will allow you to learn from the pros and lend a hand in the casting process. A successful internship can lead to a job offer for a more junior position with the same company.
Put in Some Time at a Casting Scholarship or Apprenticeship
You should think about interning or studying under a professional casting director after you’ve gained some experience in the field. These internships allow you to observe professional casting directors in action while assisting with duties like screening applications and headshots and discussing talent after auditions.
These encounters can pave the way to assistant positions with established casting directors or to professional life as a freelance casting professional. Another avenue could be to get your foot in the door by becoming a casting researcher first, which could then act as a stepping stone to making your way up to the casting director. If you need to know more about becoming a casting researcher, click here to read YLO’s blog on, “How to Break Into the Field of Casting Research.”
Participate in Casting-related Volunteer Activities
Volunteering for your services to cast a local production, event, magazine shoot, or stageplay is another great way to keep your skills sharp. A great way to gain experience in casting while still in college is to volunteer to help out student directors or professors with their productions. Community theatres are another good resource for finding acting roles. These responsibilities may or may not come with a salary.
Get Your Foot in the Door as a Casting Associate
You should start your search for expert casting positions as a casting assistant. Finding new talent for casting directors and associate casting directors is a major part of this role. You could be in charge of collaborating with agents, planning auditions, supplying audition tapes, accumulating cv’s and headshots, creating audition rooms and recording devices, and assisting casting directors to handle a talent pool, based on your experience level, the range of the casting director’s job, and the number of casting associates currently on the team.
Get in Touch With Other Industry Insiders
- Doing an apprenticeship in your field of interest
- Going to conventions and shows related to the theatre and film industries
- Participating in the production as a production assistant or background actor
- Making movies, plays, or photoshoots together with coworkers
You can meet casting directors, learn about job openings, get in touch with other creative types, and maybe even find a teacher or prospective colleague at any of these events, and many more like them. Establishing a support system of actors, directors, production companies, and others in the industry is crucial to your success as a casting specialist.
A Career as an Assistant Casting Director
After gaining experience as a casting assistant, you can apply for the position of an associate casting director at a production company, casting agency, or with a particular casting director or project. You’ll be helping the casting director out by giving them advice, reviewing actors, and setting up callbacks with agents. Reporting directly to the casting director, this position offers excellent one-on-one training and development opportunities.
Promotion to the Position of a Casting Director
When applying for positions as casting directors, most employers look for candidates with at least ten years of experience in the industry. Since you won’t be working under the umbrella of a production company in this position, you and your team will have to find your clients.
Get in touch with producers and directors that you’ve collaborated with in the past to see if they have any openings in their casts. If you’re connected and accomplished, you may find that a select group of people regularly approach you with chances to collaborate. You may have connections with execs at numerous production companies who could offer you additional work.

Here’s a short 8 minute film I made with a few friends some years ago called Head. In case you are unaware, you click on the blue word to see it – this is called a link! (this is assuming you have already clicked “continue reading”. Go on, click it.). The film has nothing to do with art but don’t worry – it has turn-of-the-millenium references to rugby league in Australia. As I am sure you will agree, that is more than ample compensation.
Aside from editors, we were all novices winging it, with and for no money, so please excuse the picture quality. In spite of this it won a few prizes in short film competitions. Feel free to agree heartily with the judges. It was a lot of fun to do.
