The first 30 minutes of the film are spent explaining Dr. Burzynski's revolutionary new approach to fighting cancer and showing us interviews with people who had allegedly been cured by it. The remainder of the film details an epic story of Dr.

The Theatre of Everyday Events: Muhaned Al Hadi’s Theatre
von Rolf C. Hemke, Muhaned Al Hadi und Ahmed Sharghi Al Zaydi
Erschienen in: Recherchen 104: Theater im arabischen Sprachraum – Theatre in the Arab World (12/2013)
Over the past few years, no Iraqi theatre experience has attracted as much attention and stirred as much controversy as that of director Muhaned Al Hadi. His experience forms an important twist in the more recent journey of Iraqi theatre, which had been afflicted by flaccidity and repetition in its themes and methods of expression. What the wars had etched into the collective memory of the Iraqi individual meant that most theatre productions were characterised by blood in the realest sense of the word: memories of war, violent, harsh language and visuals. The soldier was a common element of most plays, the theme of war reflected in the linguistic discourse. And so it was that Muhaned Al Hadi became influenced by experiences he received outside Iraq. In 2002 he traveled to Beirut, still an actor at the time, where he grappled with Lebanese theatre. After attending several intense workshops, he started working as a director in Beirut and co-directed a play there with Lebanese director, Pauline Haddad. After the fall of the Ba‘ath regime, Muhaned returned to Iraq hoping for a change in terms of presentation within Iraqi theatre, but he was to be disappointed. Iraqi theatre-makers continued to glorify political symbols and had added, unfortunately, religious symbols on top.
“I became convinced during that period,” says Muhaned today, “that Iraqi theatre would not renew itself unless it gave expression to the opinion of ordinary Iraqis, the only losers amongst all the official bickering. But I was not able to implement my vision of a theatre of the marginalised Iraqi street whilst I was in that country, which was starting to show the first signs of a sectarian war.”
In 2004 he moved to Syria, where he worked as a screenwriter and director for a TV advertising agency. But theatre kept him awake at night, and he convinced his manager to produce a stage play for children. The play met with a positive response. Muhaned’s theatrical vision matured in Damascus. Muhaned arranged his first production in Syria, The Square by Marguerite Duras, which was produced by the French Cultural Center in Damascus. He continued to earn his life as an executive director for some TV dramas without yielding to the material temptations of TV work.
Muhaned Al Hadi’s next theatre experiment was The Curfew. He wrote the play himself in a colloquial Iraqi dialect, using it to convey the worries of the ordinary Iraqi represented by the two main characters — the shoe-shiner and the car-washer — whose lives were massively influenced by the American occupation. This play was seen by many theatre critics and other theatre makers as a renewal, since it came from the everyday life of Iraq, from its political, social, and economic circumstances. Thus you can call it ‘theatre of the everyday’. Al Hadi created a theatrical experiment that records reflections of political change in Iraq, compiles scattered scenes from the street / society and turns them into cultural and — in terms of dialect — linguistic symbols. Everything on stage is a symbol, as Jan Mukarřovský noted. For Muhaned Al Hadi, the sort of simple, everyday conversation circulating on pavements or in cafés becomes the topic of a play. In Camp, everyday conversations picked up from the streets of neighbouring countries about applying for asylum at the High Commission are placed on stage. An ordinary conversation that causes major unease amongst the audience as the stage design consists of various doors, behind which Iraqis are constantly seeking refuge, as if they were the doors to heaven that should be opened. Doors that offer false hope and lead into labyrinths, behind which the refugees become a number in a file that is kept inside a cabinet behind those doors.
In his productions, Al Hadi creates a body of diverse and thematically-unconventional work that, in terms of its deep penetration of the Iraqi personality and behaviour, takes on an almost ethnological character. In Hot Spot he was not very kind to his characters who, following a car bomb explosion, find themselves in the realm of the dead reading about their own deaths in the newspaper. Muhaned Al Hadi reveals to us his elevated sense of irony and sarcastic consideration of the wasted, banal deaths on Iraqi streets. This theatre of the everyday is a provocative experiment, both in terms of the text — Al Hadi is the author of all his plays — as well as in terms of staging. Of particular importance is his search for new possibilities in terms of stage design that enable him to maintain the dynamics of the performance despite large stage elements.
In all his theatre works, Muhaned works with large stage elements that completely dominate the stage: in The Curfew it is the wall, in Camp it is the doors, and in Hot Spot it is the black walls and backdrop. They are combined with a yellowish-white lighting that makes the props and actors look as if they’ve been hewn from stone.
Although these huge stage elements inevitably limit the flow of movement, they are nevertheless of great importance for getting the concept of the play across, and within the texture of the performance, they are in fact more important than the actors. These staging elements create a focus for the visual references of the play. There are mobile elements that can turn into various symbols according to the director’s intentions. The walls in Hot Spot, for example, represent the structure of Iraqi society — concrete walls in a post-2003 Iraq that first choke the city, then the citizens. They are the most versatile element of the production. In a highly-professional manner, Al Hadi uses the movement of the cinematic extracts to present an aesthetically-demanding and flowing transition from the modern world of the city to the netherworld of the realm of the dead, incorporating the actor into the scene. Once again this reveals the particular importance of these large stage elements in contrast to the role of the actor who lives amongst them.
In The Curfew, we find ourselves in front of a large wall with windows. Here too the director uses a cinematic style: we see the actor’s head through the top window and his feet through the bottom one, so that the dimensions of his body span the height of the wall and make him appear to be a being from another world — a character, whose body is as extended as its dreams. Sometimes the wall turns into a house with many windows, and sometimes into a wall separating the characters from their own lives, the end of which — by means of a car bomb — they await in a lively street. Thus, the large blocks function to convey meaning. They are political signs in a play that is aesthetically and intellectually provocative.
In the play Camp, the walls have turned into doors and in the middle is a large window that turns into a television screen on which we watch our heap of human detritus, our worries and our breathlessness as we flee the land of loss. The doors form the focal point for the characters in their repetitive positioning between movement and torpidity, as though we were standing before the monotonous inactive lives of different individuals in a society.
“I think that the personal circumstances I was confronted with had a direct influence on my theatre work,” says Muhaned Al Hadi today. “The conceptual movement between genres — from theatre to television and back — my constant back and forth between the war that Iraq experienced for all that time, and the peace I found in Syria, between the concerns for my theatre projects and the constant concern for my own personal safety and that of my family. This changes both man and artist.”
In all of his plays, what matters for Muhaned is the Iraqi as human being, or simply all human beings, regardless of where they come from. Muhaned’s theatre is not very different from the life he lives and his life is frequently like his theatre. It contains bitter irony and sarcasm, and it contains the hope of new beginnings in other places. In the words of Milan Kundera, ‘Life is Elsewhere.’
Death in Muhanned’s theatre is a result of the life he lives. At the time of writing, the latest of these events was the bombing of his home in Damascus. Muhaned Al Hadi has withdrawn to Baghdad, along with his books and his family, with whom he fled death. Maybe he is even now preoccupied with a new play that will tell the story of the destruction of his second homeland, Syria.

Remember when I mentioned that I had finally watched every single episode of Friends in order for the first time ever over the summer? Well, I’ve heard numerous, numerous times that How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) is the Friends of our age (those who are now in their mid to late 20’s). This Buzzfeed article definitely solidifies it.
Justin introduced me to HIMYM when we were dating. I wasn’t too impressed during the first season, but by the end of the second season, I couldn’t wait to watch more. It is definitely our go-to series and we have gone through every single episode numerous times. I absolutely love HIMYM, and so, when I started to watch Friends all the way through, I was expecting it to be just as great, especially since HIMYM was “based” off Friends. But, I was a little disappointed. I love HIMYM a lot more than I do Friends.
Ted vs Ross
Ted and Ross are supposed to be the same person–the geeky, nice guy that is the protagonist. Ross is an archaeologist who becomes a professor and loves to spew facts. Ted is an architect who becomes a professors and loves random trivia. However, I would so much rather date Ted than Ross. First, I think Ted is cuter. Second, Ross is very pessimistic and whiny. I feel he is very annoying and I honestly don’t know why Rachel would go out with him. I mean, he is so in love with her that he is willing to be walked all over and he always gets taken advantage of. Whereas, Ted just has bad luck dating. But, he is such a sweet, cute, caring man. Also, although Ted is friends with super jerky, self-centered playboy Barney, Ted is a good friend. He wants what’s best for Barney and will a lot of times go along with Barney’s “legendary” ideas. Ted is also such a great and caring friend to all the rest of the group and will do anything for them!
Friends is set during 1994-2004. HIMYM is set from 2005-2014. As a child, I remember my mother watching Friends. The characters in Friends are in their early to mid-twenties when the show starts. My mom was around the same age…she was 26 when it first aired. I was only 14 when it finished. So, many of the situations and references was relevant only to the 90’s. So, I didn’t catch quite a few, and a lot of times, I kept thinking, “that could’ve been avoided if they had cell phones”, etc. (Typical millennial, I know!) It wasn’t until 2011-2012 that I got introduced to HIMYM. Yes, it was near the tail-end of the season and I had to start at the beginning, and yes, the characters start the series in their late-twenties. But, it felt a lot more relevant to me. I caught many more references and I felt more attached to the actors and actresses since they were closer in age to me (I mean, my siblings-in-law are their age, whereas my mom is the same age as the Friends cast).
Although there are the same stereotypical characters in both shows (Ross vs Ted, Robin vs Rachel, Chandler vs Marshall, Barney vs Joey, and Monica vs Lily), I feel that the characters in HIMYM had more growth. In Friends, the characters stick to their stereotype. Monica stays a neat-freak and competitor. Chandler stays the joke-cracker. Joey stays the hot stuff actor. Pheobe stays the weirdo. Ross stays the pathetic nice guy. Really, only Rachel gets character depth and growth as she learns to take care of herself, rises up the career ladder, and becomes a mom. However, I feel that all the characters in HIMYM grow. They all learn lessons, make mistakes, try to improve. The characters in 2014 are quite different from how they are in 2005. It felt more real, like a continual story rather than snippets of a sitcom.
Honestly, I felt that the actors in HIMYM began as better actors. In the beginning episodes of Friends, it feels very stiff and forced, especially Chandler’s lines. However, HIMYM flowed better. Also, the actors in HIMYM are more widely talented. I mean, yes, sometimes the Friends episodes would end or begin with the group doing little a Capella ditties, but, almost all of the actors in HIMYM could sing, act, and dance. Triple threat! That allowed them to be a little more creative in the episodes and add in silly songs and dances.
Neil Patrick Harris
HIMYM has NPH. Really, do I need say more?
It may be because of the references of the jokes, but I laughed a lot more with HIMYM than I did Friends. Their situations were also sometimes exaggerated, which allowed for more laughs. We also got to see into their heads and memories a lot more, which helped with the comedy. Friends seems to be more rom-com. The protagonist is Rachel, a female. I know a whole heck of a lot more girls who like Friends than guys do. So, it’s going to focus more on girl issues and romance. But, HIMYM has Ted, a man, as a protagonist. Yes, his goal is to find and fall in love with and marry the girl of his dreams, and he is a romantic, but there are more laughs than romance in HIMYM. I preferred that (although, like I said, it took until the 2nd season for me to like it, mainly because of playboy Barney).
Depth of Plot
There are a lot of similar plot points in the two shows: a relative dies, being left at the alter, marriage and divorce, losing a job, the struggle to get pregnant. However, Friends seems to smooth all those over. Whereas, HIMYM really goes into each of those big plot points and really explore them. It really gets every character’s views and reactions to it. There are some really dark points in the show because the tragedies just seem heavier. Also, there is a lot more philosophical wisdom with each of those plot points.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Friends. I really enjoyed watching it and thought it was great. Also, I like the character Joey a whole lot better than the character of Barney (especially since Barney reverts to his play-boy after he divorces Robin). But, overall, I would rather watch HIMYM than Friends any day of the week.
Which do you prefer: HIMYM or Friends? Why?

An original rock music feature film "The Killer's Requiem" is about a single father turned serial killer, who is the subject of a bet between God and the Devil based on Romans 5:20 (the "Sufficient Grace" passage). The groundbreaking debut film by McLane brings mobile filmmaking into its own as the film was shot entirely on an iPhone 6s Plus.
The film features veteran actors Jean Beauvoir (Plasmatics), Tim Russ (Star Trek Voyager), Lloyd Kaufman (Toxic Avenger), Christopher Showerman (Supergirl), George Hardy (Best Worst Movie), and features several standout performances by Carol August (80 years young), Sofia McLane (8 years old). Aleksandra Trochimiuk and Emily Eden. "The Killer's Requiem" Movie Trailer

When Juliet Montague’s husband disappears, so does she. As far as her Jewish community is concerned, she is invisible. Until, on her thirtieth birthday, she does something unexpected. Instead of buying a fridge, she impulsively spends her savings on a portrait of herself.
The painting leads Juliet out of suburbia and into the heady art scene of 1960s London, where she proves an astute spotter of talent. Yet she remains an outsider in both her worlds: a mother of two, drawn to a reclusive artist who never leaves Dorset, and unable to feel free until she has tracked down her husband – a quest that leads her to California and a shocking discovery.
This is the captivating tale of an unusual woman’s journey through life, each stage hinged on a portrait. Written with infectious verve and humour, it confirms Natasha Solomons as an exceptionally talented young writer.

Organisation: Consulado General de España (New York) (cónsul: don Juan Ramón Martinez Salazar)
« Arrabal’s theatre is a wild, brutal, cacophonous, and joyously provocative world. It is a dramatic carnival in which the carcass of our “advanced” civilizations is barbecued over the spits of a permanent revolution. He is the artistic heir of Kafka’s lucidity and Jarry’s humor; in his violence, Arrabal is related to Sade and Artaud . Yet he is doubtless the only writer to have pushed derision as far as he did. Deeply political and merrily playful, both revolutionary and bohemian, his work is the syndrome of our century of barbed wire and Gulags, a manner of finding a reprieve.’’: The Dictionary of Literatures in the French Language (Dictionnaire des littératures de langue française; Editions Bordas. Fernando Arrabal (born August 11, 1932) is a Spanish playwright, screenwriter, film director, novelist and poet. Arrabal was born in Melilla, Spain, but settled in France in 1955; he describes himself as “desterrado,” or “half-expatriate, half-exiled.” Arrabal has directed seven full-length feature films; he has published over 100 plays, 14 novels, 800 poetry collections, chapbooks, and artist’s books; several essays, and his notorious “Letter to General Franco” during the dictator’s lifetime. His complete plays have been published in a number of languages, in a two-volume edition totaling over two thousand pages. The New York Times theatre critic Mel Gussow has called Arrabal the last survivor among the “four avatars of modernism.” In 1962 Arrabal co-founded the Panic Movement with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor, and was elected Transcendent Satrap of the Collège de Pataphysique in 1990. Forty other Transcendent Satraps have been elected over the past half-century, including Marcel Duchamp, Eugène Ionesco, Man Ray, Boris Vian, Dario Fo, Umberto Eco Simon Leys and Jean Baudrillard. A friend of Andy Warhol and Tristan Tzara, Arrabal spent three years as a member of André Breton’s surrealist group. ‘’

Garden of Delights
“PREMIÈRE” : November 15, 2012.
“…The New Stage Theater Company, founded in 2002
by Ildiko Nemeth,
brings international talent together to develop work which embraces their diverse cultural and artistic traditions to create a powerful and exciting foundation for vibrant theatre. The New Stage Theatre Company is committed to taking artistic risks to achieve a theatrical expression that overcomes the limitation of language, custom, and convention.”
“… génial ‘Jardin des délices’ de Fernando Arrabal…”
… ‘Garden of Delights’ explores themes of sexuality and violence, good and evil. It centers on Lais, a famous and eccentric actress at the center of a fantastical world in which the lines between reality, imagination, and memory are blurred. Zenon, an ape-like beast, lives in a cage in Lais’s palatial home; the beast—a primal force of nature not unlike Lais herself—can be affectionate and effusive, but is ultimately uncontrollable. Miharca, Lais’ childhood friend, and Teloc, her past lover, appear and vanish like phantoms as Lais comes to terms with her artistry and her shadow through a bizarre, fantastical journey.
Production Personnel: Fabiyan Pemble-Belkin, Production Coordinator
The production will take place during the month of November and December.

Hangover 2 is a hugely successful movies that’s showing in cinemas all over the world these days. And it certainly gives Bangkok a… well, “image”. (Or maybe reputation is a better word).
In Hangover 2, “the wolfpack” travel to Thailand to celebrate the wedding of one of their members, the dentist, with his beautiful Thai wife. Somehow, three of them end up in Bangkok without any recall of what happened. But they do find something that is a bad sign: a finger that belongs to the young brother of the soon-to-be wife. And the young brother is missing.
So they try to find him – but in order to do so, they first must recall what they did, which turns out to be a big problem. As the story unfolds, they discover more and more about what they did while they were drugged and drunken in Bangkok. It’s a story of sex, drugdealing monkes, transgender prostitutes (or ladyboys, as they’re also called in Thailand – one of the most memorable lines in the movie is when a ladyboy in the says: “There’s a reason it’s called Bangkok and not Bang-cunt, honey”) and mafia makings in Bangkok’s underworld-belly.
So is that the real Bangkok?
Well, yes and no.
Bangkok has all that’s in the movie. But it’s just one part of it. Bangkok is made up of many elements. There’s also a nice, fancy, luxury shopping mall and first class spa element of Bangkok. There’s a traditional Thai culture element of Bangkok. There’s a food metropolis element of Bangkok. And more.
The only thing that the movie definitely got wrong is the monks attire – monks in Thailand wear orange robes, not the ones that are depicted in the movie. But that was no accident – Thai authorities wouldn’t have allowed that. Because in this movie, there are also scenes of a monk who enjoys the services of gogo dancers (among other sins). In Thailand, it is not appreciated if you make jokes about Thai monks. So the movie makers used that as a little loophole.
If you’re looking for a Thai tour guide to show you around Bangkok’s underworld… well… sorry, but we don’t have that on our program. And we’re not really that familiar with the underworld. But if you’re interested in Thai culture, sightseeing and food – oh, you won’t find someone who will be more glad to introduce you to these kinds of pleasures 🙂


Shadow on the Prairie is an interdisciplinary installation derives its name and overarching narrative from the National Film Board of Canada’s 1952 film adaptation of Gweneth Lloyd’s seminal ballet “Shadow on the Prairie: A Canadian Ballet.”
Performed by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company in 1952, the dance tells the story of Canada’s western settlement by means of a tragic tale of a once hopeful woman’s desperate struggle with the harsh landscape. Isolated by a long bleak winter, the young bride’s dreams of a new life with her pioneer husband fade away as she descends into a madness that leads to death.
Finding affinities between Lloyd’s portrayal of the challenges of pioneer life and my own family narrative, the semi-autobiographical work explores a family rumour about my great uncle, a closeted gay actor & nightclub singer who played in all-black revues of Vancouver’s supper club circuit in the 1930’s through 50’s.

Parker Ballantine: For the record, Sisters Three was written by Angela Ballantine, directed by Dion Kapakos, and produced by mistake.
Director Don Weis‘s Critic’s Choice pairs Bob Hope (my all-time favorite!) and Lucille Ball as Mr. and Mrs. Ballantine in a movie about critics. It is somewhat ironic though that while the movie is about critics, it apparently wasn’t for critics, as it received mostly negative reviews when it came out in 1962. But that was a long time ago, and the film has had time to ferment (which is always good thing).
One thing is a given with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball: it’s going to be funny, and Critic’s Choice certainly has its moments. Most of these laugh-inducing scenes come by way of witty one-liners from the king himself. Hope stars as Parker Ballantine, the most influential drama critic in the world. He’s been writing reviews for years and takes a certain pride in closing plays down with his pen. The editor of the newspaper Parker writes for even tells his wife, Angela (Ball), that Parker has a much easier time writing bad reviews. He says he always looks like he is in agony when he is writing a good one.
Everything seems to be going well for Parker, Angela, and their son (Parker’s from his previous marriage), John, until Angela decides she’s going to write a play. The play is called Sisters Three, and is based on the comical happenings of Angela and her sisters growing up. That’s probably the worst news Parker could hear as he immediately says she’s unqualified to write one. As Angela begins to take her play very seriously, and writes constantly, the tensions rise in the family with Parker constantly putting her down.
It’s an interesting side of Bob Hope; generally he’s the unsuspecting dupe who makes fun of his own situation, but instead he plays the high-handed character. I found myself wincing at some of his putdowns as he became more and more harsh to Angie. Sure they were funny, but they really started to hurt her. I will say it’s good to see him experiment with his versatility a little. Speaking of which, Lucille Ball goes back to her pre-I Love Lucy-screwball-comedy days and takes on a rather dramatic role. If you ever get a chance to watch one of her older drama roles, please do (she was also very attractive in the early years).
At it’s heart, Critic’s Choice is really the story of the conflict between Parker’s egotistical feeling of his necessity to write a review of Angela’s play (which he insists will not be pleasant), and Angela’s desire to really do something for herself. This conflict erodes the Ballantine’s marriage as Parker’s refusal to let up leads Angela to leave the house as she continues work on producing her play. Parker expresses his arrogance quite clearly to his son John who asks, “Dad, do you really think you aughta review Angie’s play? You don’t care if you hurt Angie and make her angry?” to which Parker replies, “Never sell off a piece of yourself just to avoid hurting someone.” Great advice for a kid isn’t it?
The film has a great supporting cast with a very young Rip Torn as director Dion Kapakos, John Dehner as producer S.P. Champlain, and Jessie Royce Landis as Charlie Orr (Angela’s mother). And several other familiar faces show up throughout the movie, which adds to the entertainment factor. Surprisingly, the film isn’t as predictable as it first seems; it goes about resolving itself in a distinctly unpredictable way. It’s a good mix of comedy and drama and just the right amount of romance. Critic’s Choice is a good movie, and a great look at the other sides of two comedic legends.
The Reel Rating: 5.8

Can’t see the wooden for the bushes? I’ve typically struggled with the problem of photographing bushes in a means that captures the creativeness and takes the viewer on a journey. I’ve discovered that for me, there are two very efficient methods to contemplate and bushes. Try asking your self these two questions:
- Which tree is the main actor?
- Which tree/bushes are the supporting actors?
I’ve to thank my mom for this attention-grabbing perspective. As a boy I used to be dragged to many a theatrical play and so I have a tendency to take a look at my photos as a stage on which there are specific characters that play out a scene. There’s at all times a lead character, some supporting roles and a few cool props. Understanding the hierarchy of your characters will actually assist to enhance your compositions normally.
When a single tree grabs your consideration
Decide who’s the lead and make that your most vital topic. With the picture above, it’s fairly apparent who the lead character is on this scene. That enormous knotted cedar tree is my main actor, so I place him centre stage and place all different bushes round him.
Using an aperture of f/22 signifies that my whole picture (stage if you’ll) is in focus and the one purpose I can get away with it’s because my central character is so apparent that I don’t want to intensify his presence with shallow depth of discipline.
Here’s one other instance of a really apparent main actor in my scene. It’s just about ALL one tree with the supporting actors being a solar flare, the shadows on the foreground and the Koi Carp gliding by means of the pond within the background. Again, I used a really slim aperture of f/16 to make sure most focus all through the picture.
When bushes play supporting roles
Let’s face it, not all bushes are A-list actors, however they don’t must be. You can use bushes to border one other, extra attention-grabbing character, in your picture. When you’ve discovered an attention-grabbing topic corresponding to a waterfall, lake reflection or sea stack, have a look round and see if there are any bushes that may make a pleasant body or main line that directs the attention in the direction of your foremost topic. If there are, place them in your foreground.

Netflix opening two new Toronto production studios
Netflix, leading media giant, has shared the company’s plans to set up a production hub in Toronto, according to CBC. The new locations are intended to provide key connections to local film talent.
The streaming company announced its plan to expand into Canada on Tuesday, “by leasing two studio spaces along the downtown industrial waterfront area.” The neighbourhood is already home to warehouses used as sound stages for film production.
Netflix will be leasing a total of eight sound stages at Cinespace Studios and Pinewood Studios respectively, along with office spaces at each building.
This additional and significant presence in Toronto’s film community is expected to bring in nearly two thousand jobs. Netflix said the new outposts will provide 1,850 Canadian jobs per year. The company failed to disclose if the leases will be permanent, but did mention a “multi-year” plan.
“This is great news for the Toronto and the Ontario community, because it’s an endorsement of the high quality of the work that comes out of our industry,” said Cinespace vice-president Jim Mirkopoulos.
“Netflix has made a commitment to the film and television industry here that they’re going to continue to do stuff and by making this announcement, they’re standing by that,” said Nancy MacLean, president at Pinewood Toronto Studios.
The move is set to be made within the upcoming weeks. The company also recently announced further international expansion efforts, including hubs in Madrid and Albuquerque.
Toronto Mayor John Tory had “a very high level of confidence” Netflix would take the trip north-east from California and open up some production spaces in the city. Tory has been travelling to Los Angeles in hopes of bringing more film projects to Toronto.
Responses from local talent are generally positive, many of whom seem excited about the prospect of new Canadian content funding.
On Netflix as a medium, Oscar-winner and Guillermo del Toro collaborator Miles Dale explains the freedom available:
“You can say whatever you want, you can show whatever you want, you can show real adult situations without the kind of censorship that comes in.”
How to Train Your Dragon director, Dean DeBlois, shared the sentiment:
“It’s the wild west of filmmaking within their particular format and I have several friends who have gone to Netflix with original projects and they’re just having the best time of their careers.”


Powers: Telepathy and Organic Diamond morphing
What!?: She can read and control minds, and make her skin into diamond
Origin: Emma Frost, or the White Queen, was born to the wealthy Frost family, whose impossibly high standards and neglectful parenting left Emma with little to no emotional support. Emma’s only solace was found in school under the guidance of one of her teachers. It is here that Emma first becomes interested in teaching. When her father gets her favorite teacher fired, Emma attempts to blackmail him. Emma’s father is impressed by her ruthlessness, and decides to leave her his fortune. Emma refuses, stating that she would succeed without his help. Emma beings to work as a stripper for the Hellfire Club and attracts the attention of Sebastian Shaw. Together, the duo take over the Hellfire Club as the Black King and White Queen.
Before The X-Men: During her years in the Hellfire Club, Frost builds the Massachusetts Academy, a school for mutants intended to rival the Xavier Institute. She famously tried to force Kitty Pryde to join the school, and her student “Hellions” often came in conflict with Xavier’s New Mutants. When the time traveler Trevor Fitzroy unleashes Sentinels, almost all of the Hellions are killed. The death of her students leaves Frost devastated. Frost does eventually reopen her school when she meets Generation X, a young group of untested mutants, with Banshee as Co-headmaster. Frost attempts to reconcile with her estranged sister Adrienne when her finances become strained, but her sister betrays her and kills one of her students. Enraged, Frost kills Adrienne and becomes more distant towards the rest of Generation X.
This, coupled with Banshee’s depression over the death of Moira MacTaggerts, leads to the Massachusetts Academy closing once again. Emma attempts to reconcile with her actions by teaching young mutants in the Island of Genosha. The island is sadly attacked by Sentinels, killing almost every mutant on the island. Frost survives due to her second mutation manifesting and is taken by the X-men to the Xavier Institute. Frost become a teacher at Xavier’s and begins a secret psychic affair with Cyclops. The two are encouraged to be together by Jean Grey after her ascension into the White Phoenix of the Crown. Emma essentially becomes Cyclops’ second in command.
Her Deal: Emma Frost started as the female member of the Hellfire Club that famously turned Jean Grey into the Dark Phoenix. She later became a major antagonist for the New Mutants. Her role changed when she joined Generation X as their headmistress, eventually evolving into a full-fledged X-man. She is considered to be the sexiest X-man. She may also be the team’s most skilled telepath, even being able to match the more powerful Professor X and Rachel Grey.
Personality: Emma Frost is well defined by her cold demeanor and dry wit. During her years in the Hellfire Club, the White Queen was merciless and often times cruel. She gradually became less ruthless after the deaths of the Hellions. Emma Frost has always loved teaching, and is devastated when one of her students die. Emma’s transition from the White Queen to X-man was helped along by Banshee and Generation X, who helped her come to terms with her past and her desire for redemption. The time with the X-men has been one of proving, most of all to herself, that she can atone for her mistakes. Emma’s incredible intelligence and cunning have helped the X-man many times.
Fun Fact: Emma Frost is the founder and CEO of a Frost Enterprises, a multi-million dollar company.
First Appearance: Uncanny X-man #129 (1980)
Greatest Crime: Helping in turning Jean Grey into Dark Phoenix and attempting to kidnap Shadowcat on numerous occasions


Kim told part of her story on The Moth Mainstage in 2011. “A woman confronts her past, and future, when she is forced to make a trip to her hometown,” reads the program. This story precedes the events in her film Prodigal Sons. Kim told the story throughout the U.S. on Moth Mainstages, and it was featured in their first book The Moth: 50 True Stories (Hachette), and international bestseller.
HHS COMMENCEMENT SPEECH
In 2015, Kim was invited by a committee of student leaders and teachers to give the keynote Commencement Speech at her alma mater, Helena High School, in Helena, Montana. It was a controversial choice to invite an openly transgender speaker, but the final poll results in the local newspaper, seen at the end of the video, tell the whole story!


I had pestered Scott for the past four months that I wanted to see "Hugo", and he finally relented. The Academy Awards gave it "Best Special Effects" and a few other awards, and so we kept checking at RedBox to rent it. Last Friday we rented it - and Scott has now made an executive decision: I will never again be allowed to choose the friday night movie.
Have you seen it? There's a great 60-second message, but for the rest of the 2 hours, we kept saying, this is the strangest movie. I had to tell myself to think of it as a foreign film, and that made it a little better. But for some reason, we felt compelled to finish it. There is always that hope that the movie will get better in the next 5 minutes, and so we stayed up until midnight watching a movie that we could only label as unique and foreign.
We seem to go through periods of choosing bad movies. Just uninteresting, long, weird, void of symbolism movies. We hear about a movie, and even though no one else has seen it or recommended it, we check it out, convinced that we are on to a great discovery. It never pans out - we only discover why everyone was silent on the topic. A few years ago we watched several horrid films in one month: Australia, The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button, The Band's Visit, and Where The Wild Things Are. If you liked any one of those three films, maybe you were in a movie rut as well. I won't go through the pitfalls of each movie - except that as we left the theatre after each one - I heard several people say "There's two hours of my life I'll never get back." And I felt the exact same way.
It's Friday night again, and under no conditions am I allowed to rent a movie without Scott's consent. We'll see what tonight brings... Maybe this is why we stick to super-hero movies. You feel good at the end and you know that Superman fights for truth, justice, and the American Way.

GAYNIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE (1992)/ My Review
GAYNIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE movie is enjoyable movie. If you watched it once, you will share it with your companions. The duration of the movie is 25 minutes and in my opinion it’s difficult to understand and discuss this 1992 space movie because of how jumbled it is. It is both bigoted, chauvinistic, homophobic, and a parody. It was the finest discipline untruth movie I’ve ever seen. I watched it to assess how offensive and bad it was.
Even if the movie is clever, the parody is what stands out. The jokes are entertaining, embarrassing, and funny.
The VFX and improvements, aside from jokes, are rather poor. The spaceship and the space pebbles both appear completely fake.
Some claim it was the silliest notion ever, while others claim it was the most imaginative idea ever. I believe it was both, but it had a silly narrative and screenplay. It’s a 1992 space movie with a counterintuitively exciting plot.


Yesterday I finally went to see jOBS. I must say I was excited when I first heard there was going to be a movie about Steve Jobs, but later when I started reading not-so-good reviews online and the comments from Woz saying the movie wasn’t too accurate, that initial excitement began to decrease.
The movie is simply not good. The director (Joshua Michael Stern) had a great story to tell but he failed to do it right. It looks like he didn’t even read the Steve jobs biography by Walter Isaacson before making this movie.
The scenes are disconnected, the music is out of timing with the pictures, there are a lot of moments that are not in the movie and a lot others that are not properly developed. The movie skips about 9 years when Jobs went to NeXT, they simply don’t say anything about it. Also the return of Jobs to Apple is not accurate at all. They don’t show anything about Apple buying NeXT in 1996, for example.
Not everything is bad though. Ashton Kutcher’s acting is really good, but that’s about it.
After having read the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, this movie falls very, very short. If you want to learn about the history of Apple (and Microsoft), I highly recommend you watch Pirates of Silicon Valley.

A still from one of my short film "The Recurring Dream" looking at conditioning, conforming, hometown glory & disdain. This particular image is one of the most personal parts of the film, a freeze-frame of the dissolve transition between two images; each of one of my sisters. Both pictures were taken on 35mm film and using a noir filter in post-production creates nostalgia. With the lack of sound, a slow pace, and a deep & personal perspective overall "the recurring dream" ultimately is drowning in loss, not the loss of what my hometown was, but the loss of my relationship with it.


Northern Soul’s lively beat evokes memories of Wigan all-nighters and Blackpool Mecca among those of us old enough to remember.
In the film Northern Soul, the plot follows a formula that’s been tried and tested in other films of the same genre such as Saturday Night Fever and The Commitments: young working class teenagers using music and/or dance to escape their dreary existence.
The two young protagonists, John (Elliot James Langridge) and Matt (Josh Whitehouse) are disaffected teenagers growing up in a Lancashire town who are brought together by their passion for Northern Soul music, with dreams of going to America to seek out rare records and make a name for themselves. Their idealism becomes tainted when they turn to ‘speed’ - amphetamines - to fuel the demands created by the up-all-night Northern Soul scene with its athletic dance moves. Their behaviour become all the more frenetic with tragic consequences.
The film offers a grittily realistic portrayal of a youth culture that sought to create its own identity through dress, music and dance styles, with Wigan Casino seen as a mecca for young soulers determined to push themselves beyond the boundaries of physical capability in order to create their own definition of a good time.
But unlike The Commitments, it is light on laughs and its characters do little to endear.
The portrayal of angry young men seems over-egged, though, ultimately, John and Matt find salvation in friendship and redemption through the purity of the Northern Soul lyrics.
There are some good cameo performances from Lisa Stansfield, Ricky Tomlinson and Steve Coogan, with the latter’s portrayal as a sardonic teacher bringing to mind memories of a former geography teacher back in the 70s.
But ultimately it is the music that is the star of the show.

Can This Documentary Save The Barnes? A Sneak Peak. The countdown begins: On Feb. 26, The Art of the Steal -- The documentary about the struggle for the control of the Barnes Foundation -- opens in theaters (two days after it can be seen on demand) in New York and Philadelphia.
“Art After Death,” by Scott Macaulay in Filmmaker, The Magazine of Independent Film
(Don Argott) “We are a young country, and we don’t respect our history as much as we should — especially in Philadelphia, where it should all be about preserving the history. We have Independence Hall and the “Rocky Steps,” and [you would think the Barnes Collection] would be something we’d want to champion and preserve as well. But it’s the opposite of that, and that’s a travesty. As much as the powerful people involved, The Pew [Charitable Trust] and the Annenberg [Foundation] do great things for Philadelphia, it doesn’t mean they don’t make mistakes and shouldn’t be held accountable for them.
Critic's Notebook: "The Art of the Steal: The Untold Story of the Barnes Foundation,"by Christopher Knight on Culture Monster, the LA Times blog
“The Art of the Steal: The Untold Story of the Barnes Foundation” is a riveting — and tragic — documentary film chronicling the gratuitous ruin of a school outside Philadelphia that houses an incomparable art collection. It's a classic story of destroying the village in order to save it.
Except this little saga comes with an unexpected twist: “Saving” the Barnes turns out to have been a sham, as the title's claim of artful theft implies. (Full disclosure: I was interviewed for the film and appear, uncompensated, in it.) That slowly evolving turn of events finally leaves a viewer slack-jawed and angry.
“Bringing back Barnes, on film,” by Steven Rea in The Philadelphia Inquirer
“The work of Philadelphia filmmaker Don Argott, The Art of the Steal won standing ovations at its two public screenings. Folks were turned away at press and industry screenings, and at least four distributors have made bids. (Whether and when it's seen in Philadelphia hinges on a deal.)”
“Populism and Propriety” by Julia Harte in City Paper
“Inside, documentarian Don Argott's cinematic take on the now-familiar controversy flickered on the silver screen as part of the New York Film Festival before a spellbound crowd of 1,000, all dressed to the nines. Philadelphia's dirty laundry was on full display.”
"The Art of the Steal" by Todd McCarthy in Variety
“The slow-motion hijacking of the world's greatest privately held art collection is documented in impeccable, heartrending fashion in "The Art of the Steal." http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117941055.html?categoryid=31&cs=1
“From Toronto to glory,” by Steven Rea in The Philadelphia Inquirer
“…Of particular interest to Philadelphia-area residents, and art lovers the world over, is Don Argott's The Art of the Steal, a conspiracy theory-documentary about the Barnes collection and its controversial move from Merion to a new site on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.”
“’Art’ Packs Punch at NYFF Screening,” by Brian Brooks on Indie Wire
“It’s not often that a post-screening Q&A produces big fireworks, especially at such a venerable and reserved affair as the New York Film Festival, but the sparks flew Wednesday night following Don Argott’s doc, ‘The Art of the Steal.’”
“What’s Wrong with a Little Elitism?”, by Eugene Hernandez on Indie Wire NYFF ’09 Notebook
“’Elitist bullshit’ yelled an audience member at the New York Film Festival on Tuesday night. “What’s wrong with a little elitism,” countered another inside Alice Tully Hall, site of the 47th New York Film Festival. Members of the typically reserved Lincoln Center crowd were stirred by Don Argott’s “The Art of the Steal,” among the latest of festival titles to rile some moviegoers here.”
“The New York Film Festival, The Art of the Steal,” by Tom Hall, in the blog “Back Row Manifesto” (Indie Wire) http://blogs.indiewire.com/twhalliii/archives/014761.html
“You can’t tell a good story without a strong point of view, without a sense of doing advocacy for both your subject and your own perspective, and so, when I am not throwing up in my mouth as people criticize documentaries for “playing with the facts”, I usually end up shaking my head in disbelief that anyone could possibly want what they’re asking for.”
"In Violation of His Wishes," by Julia M. Klein in the Online Wall Street Journal
“A new documentary, "The Art of the Steal," directed by Don Argott, a Philadelphia filmmaker, skillfully summarizes much of this history. And, as the title suggests, it casts a cold eye on the forces and players working to uproot Barnes's art from the lush arboreal setting he favored to the museum-lined, tourist-rich Benjamin Franklin Parkway just five miles away.”
“The Serious Regard For Cinema,” by Manohla Dargis, in The New York Times
“Few of the movies showing in the first week are as openly, generously pleasurable and inviting. (The selection committee members are the program director Richard Peña and the film critics J. Hoberman, Scott Foundas, Melissa Anderson and Dennis Lim.) Among the bright exceptions is Don Argott’s “Art of the Steal,” which energetically traces the history and scandals surrounding the Barnes Foundation, home to one of the world’s most celebrated collections of modern art. Established by Albert C. Barnes, a Philadelphia boy turned art patron, the collection is being moved from its original home outside that city to downtown, a bitterly contested relocation that has pitted politicians and other power elites against those dedicated to preserving Barnes’s wishes. The movie will be released by Sundance Selects.”

“Will the filmmakers behind The Art of the Steal steal away to Canada?” CBC News blog
“In making the documentary, director Don Argott made a lot of powerful enemies in the city of the Liberty Bell. At the Q&A following the premiere public screening at TIFF, Argott jokingly wondered if Toronto could offer the filmmakers artistic asylum.” http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tiff/blog2009/2009/09/will_the_filmmakers_behind_the.html
“The Tangled Case of the Barnes Foundation and Its Art Treasures: Don Argott…Talks About his New Film,” by Eric Kohn in Speakeasy, an arts blog from The Wall St. Journal
“The Hot Doc — The Art of the Steal” by Richard Lacayo on TIME’s blog, Looking Around
Part One: “The surprise hit of the Toronto Film Festival a few weeks ago was The Art of the Steal, a documentary about the still-in-progress hijacking of the phenomenal Barnes Foundation art collection, one of the greatest in the world, by the powers-that-be in Philadelphia.” http://lookingaround.blogs.time.com/2009/09/28/the-hot-doc-%e2%80%94-the-art-of-the-steal/#ixzz0UC7vpdsj
Part Two: “Barnes was an early supporter of civil rights for African-Americans, and in 1946 he befriended Horace Bond, president of Lincoln University, a school in rural Pennsylvania that was the oldest African-American college in the U.S., alma mater of Langston Hughes and Thurgood Marshall.” http://lookingaround.blogs.time.com/2009/09/28/the-art-of-the-steal-part-2/
Part Three: “The Plot Thickens: “What nobody disputes is that Glanton wanted to shake things up at the Barnes. By November he had gone before the Montgomery County court that oversees wills, and which could adjust the terms of governance for the Barnes, to request a one-time authority for the Barnes board to consider selling at least 15 works from the collection, something Barnes had strictly forbidden. It was an idea that Glanton arrived at with Walter Annenberg, Barnes' lifelong enemy.” http://lookingaround.blogs.time.com/2009/09/29/the-art-of-the-steal-%e2%80%94-the-plot-thickens/
Part Four: “By the end of the tumultuous era of Barnes president Richard Glanton, with its big multi-city tour of Barnes paintings — money in! — and its big costly lawsuits — whoops, money out — the Barnes was ripe for the picking.” http://lookingaround.blogs.time.com/2009/09/29/the-art-of-the-steal-%e2%80%94-the-beginning-of-the-end/
Part Five: “But then he (former Attorney General D. Michael Fisher) adds, with a little smile: "I had to explain to them (the Lincoln University Board of Trustees) that maybe the attorney general's office would have to take some action involving them that might have to change the complexion of the board. Whether I said that directly or I implied it, I think they finally got the message." http://lookingaround.blogs.time.com/2009/09/30/the-art-of-the-steal-%e2%80%94-the-final-act/


It's Pinnies From Heaven For Lorraine
Evening Times 16th September 2011
The glamour of performing with Deacon Blue is tucked away in the trunk that is singer Lorraine McIntosh's memory. The glitter and pomp that comes with a pop career has evaporated like dry ice.
Lorraine's world right now is one of a face scraped free of make-up, it's about hairnets and grubby aprons, it's a world of abject 30s poverty and a time when families where held together by dirt and hope.
Why? The Glasgow-born performer who landed her first acting role in the Ken Loach film, My Name is Joe, is now starring in Men Should Weep, Ena Lamont Stewart's 1948 tenement play that is being revived at the Citizens Theatre.And the performer admits that, without doubt, the role of Maggie Morrison is the biggest acting challenge of her career.
"She's an incredible woman," says Lorraine of the central character. "She's the mother of six kids and the family live in appalling conditions. "She really is trying to drag her family through life. But she doesn't just have to deal with the grinding poverty; there are the problems with her family to contend with. "It's a brilliant play," says Lorraine of the production which also stars Michael Nardone and Julie Wilson Nimmo. "And it's shocking. It's a Scotland we don't hear too much about these days. "And it's really hard hitting, with a Ken Loach-like take on real life, and it certainly doesn't play to expectations."
Lorraine acknowledges she has to check her vanity in at the stage door each night. "I do," she says, smiling. "But that's a small price to play when you get to appear in such a great play." The 47-year-old accepts there's a huge responsibility that comes with playing the anchor role of Maggie, given not only the play revolves around her but that actresses such as Sharon Small have played the part so convincingly in the past. She said: "There is a huge weight on me. It's a hugely emotional performance, but it's also so rewarding because of that. "And I try not to think too much about it. I try to concentrate on the play, getting the character right; this tough but concerned woman."
Clearly a play about a family's battle to simply get by resonates with Lorraine. Born in the East End of Glasgow, the family moved to Kilmarnock when her father landed work at the local colliery. Her mum Sarah died, aged 46, from leukaemia and the 11-year-old schoolgirl kept house and home together. Times were incredibly tough, and they didn't improve much when at the age of 17 Lorraine left for Glasgow, slept on the floor of her brother's flat and studied for her Highers, eventually training for a BEd.
"This play has huge resonance for me," she says of the National Theatre of Scotland production. "I know what it's like growing up with no spare money, about the sense of getting by. "I left home in 1982, at a time when the mines were closing and people were losing their jobs. It was a terrible time. "Now, during rehearsals for this play we've been going for lunch in the Gorbals and you can see some people are still living in a desperate situation." She adds, ruefully: "When I was a kid, we were brought up to believe that life would be easier for the next generation. Now, you wonder, and worry about how the next generation will progress."
Lorraine's world these days is privileged, and she lives a nice life in a nice part of the South Side of Glasgow with her three kids and musician partner Ricky Ross. She's come a long way since the days she busked in Argyle Street before joining Deacon Blue. Global success followed. And of course, she's enjoyed a steady flow of acting work, in theatre and in television with her stint in BBC soap River City. But the huge personal success doesn't mean the blinds are pulled down to the reality around her.
"I'm going to bring the family along to see the play," she says. "I think it should be compulsory that young people get the chance to see this, to realise the lives people lived – and are still living. I know that teenagers in Glasgow have studied the play for Higher drama, but the story and the tragedy is not that interesting to them. "But perhaps if they see it performed, they may realise it's about harsh reality, not just words on the page."
Next year, Lorraine will rejoin Deacon Blue, and the sparkly jackets will again be on show.
There are plans to record a new album and a tour is likely to follow. "It's been difficult this year, trying to juggle the demands of acting and music," she says with a wry grin. "And Ricky jokes he's looking forward to seeing me in December. "But although this play is hugely demanding the way I look at it is I'm 47, I started late in acting and I may never get a chance to play a character like this again.
"How can you not love every moment of it?"
l Men Should Weep, the Citizens' Theatre, until October 8.

MARK McQUEEN Film & TV Director
I am a BAFTA nominated director and series director of feature films and TV shows across many genres including film, documentary, factual and entertainment with over 20 years experience. I have directed two top 10 charting and award winning feature films and the 2nd unit on two more and have been the series director on shows such as Top Gear, Dynamo Magician Impossible, Gadget Man, Gareth Malone’s Naked Choir and Made In Chelsea to name a few.
Born in Southport in the North West, I moved to Kenya in Africa where I spent part of my childhood before returning to the UK to finish my education. At 19 I was offered work experience at Granada Television in Manchester that led directly to my first job in TV. At 23 I was directing on terrestrial television and at 25 I was series director (Fifth Gear, Channel 5). I worked in Birmingham for a number of years before settling in the suburbs of London where I am today.
I have worked with numerous high profile on screen talent such as Matt LeBlanc, Robert Carlyle, Jonathan Ross, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, Stephen Fry, Danny Dyer, Vic Reeves, Chris Evans, Konnie Huq and Steve Jones, forming close friendships beyond the project with a number of them.
STORYTELLING & EDIT
The key behind everything I do is the story. I am very experienced and fully comfortable working on my own on the shoot or in the edit, writing and producing, and I have thousands of hours of edit experience, either working with an editor, but also very often self editing on Avid whether that be a feature on Top Gear, full episodes of TV shows, finishing/polishing, promos or hour long documentaries. I have also self edited drama/film, music videos and commercials and all of my own showreels. Knowing what works in the edit, allows me to capture exactly what is needed on the shoot.
I can operate all high end cameras to a very high level (Alexa, Amira, Reds, Venice, F55, etc) and also can light creatively and quickly.


9-2-1945 Japanese Surrender
This film is believed to have never been seen before, only shots of the surrender were known. If you are a history buff you will enjoy this. GeneralMc Arthur’s voice is a rarity in these old film clips. Japanese Surrender- Amazing Footage. This is a ‘must see’ for the WWII history buff or anyone interested in history. This is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to Mc Arthur in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. Actual voice of the General.
We always saw the “stills” but never the film itself.

"Stories? We all spend our lives telling them, about this, about that, about people … But some? Some stories are so good we wish they’d never end. They’re so gripping that we’ll go without sleep just to see a little bit more. Some stories bring us laughter and sometimes they bring us tears … but isn’t that what a great story does? Makes you feel? Stories that are so powerful … they really are with us forever."

Apple’s Beats Music has created a new documentary for the 25th anniversary ofDo the Right Thing that reunites director Spike Lee with several members of the landmark film’s cast and crew, and returns fans to the Brooklyn street it all made famous.
Do the Right Thing 25 Anniversary: A Beats Music Experience was released on Beats’ YouTube page on August 14. In it, Lee tours the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood that was the setting of Do The Right Thing with actor Danny Aiello, who played played pizzeria owner Sal, and production designer Wynn Thomas. Lee tries to identify specific shoot locations and checks in with several folks in the neighborhood, many of whom have live there for decades.
The 23-minute doc culminates with a block party sponsored by Beats featuring appearances by Dave Chappelle, Wesley Snipes, Mos Def and a performance of “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy.
What you don’t see in the film are Beats By Dre headphones. Instead, the brand gets plenty of airtime during the Public Enemy portion, where you spot fans passing around double-sided placards featuring PE’s logo on one side and Beats on the other.
“You were putting together a film that spoke to all the inequities of the New York City area, and asked us to come along and make an anthem for it,” said Public Enemy frontman Chuck D in a moment with Lee. “We were honored with the task.”
The anniversary doc is Beats’ second video in recent months. Back in June, the company released a short film surrounding the World Cup that featured soccer stars including Neymar, Daniel Sturridge and Jozy Altidore, as well as appearances by Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.
