The Blue Room France – 2014 – 1 hour 16 minutes Based on the Novel by Georges Simenon “Every revelation registers in the gifted Amalric’s gaze: infinitesimal physical mutations, emotional detonations.” —Sheri Linden of Los Angeles Times “One of most exciting things about The Blue Room is that it celebrates the radical fragmentation of Alain Resnais’s 1963 film Muriel — a nostalgic blast for modernists, reminding us that, by and large, they don’t cut them like they used to.” —Jonathan Romney of Film Comment Magazine Manuscripts Don’t Burn Iran – 2013 – 2 hours 5 minutes Winner of Cannes Film Festival’s 2013 Best Director “Demands to be seen as widely as possible.” – Jonathan Romney of Screen International “The most important moviegoing experience of the year.” -Eric Cohn of Indiewire New York Film Critics Series Presents Elsa and Fred USA – 2014 – 1 hour 34 minutes Starring Shirley Maclaine and Christopher Plummer One Night Only, Nov. 4, 7 p.m. “Elsa and Fred” is both a movie about love and a love letter to movies.” Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times Awake: The LIfe of Yogananda US – 2014 – 1 hour 27 minutes The Story of Yoga’s Journey to the West “The film tapped into Yogananda’s humanity in a way that was profoundly moving and inspiring to me.” —Ram Dass “A beautifully crafted film and a powerful story about a spiritual genius.” —Russell Simmons...

The Santa Fe Independent Film Festival‘s New Mexico Shorts Program of 2014 has again reminded the Santa Fe film audience that the voices of New Mexico are alive and well. This year, the Center for Contemporary Arts screened five selected short films, some of which were shot in New Mexico and others which were made by New Mexican filmmakers. The commonality stops there. From documentary-style narratives to formulaic Westerns, the themes and stories ranged in all genres and in all styles. The variety, perhaps, reflects that original guerrilla-filmmaking spirit which set the festival’s foundation six years ago. A Horseback Ride to the Soul, directed by Aimee Barry Broustra SFIFF Description: For the rider and non-rider alike “A Horseback Ride to the Soul” explores the ways in which interactions between human and horse can lead to a deeper understanding of our selves and our relationship to the world. An official selection of the Albuquerque Film and Media Experience and Long Beach India International Film Festival, “A Horseback Ride to the Soul” is more documentary than narrative, but we can overlook that due to the multiple categories the content explores. First, the location of a Santa Fe Ranch filled with beautiful horses makes for some gorgeous cinematography. Second, the subject of horse and rider relationship is not your typical rancher’s story. The technique is Collaborative Horsemanship, and it implies “an approach to groundwork and riding implementing prey-to-prey communication” in order to “establish a relationship of trust between human and horse.” The program is facilitated by Kelly Wendorf, native New Mexican and CEO of The Institute of the Southwest, who believes in a non-aggressive approach to riding. “How can human best serve horse?” Wendorf says in her interview, “How can human, through congruency, act as a herd leader?” Wendorf introduces the term “horse therapy” in her program and the technique becomes especially convincing when...

Prepping Oasis and Disposables
posted by Charlotte Martinez
Following selections of Shoot the Stars third season scripts “Oasis Motel” (written by Julie Wittrock) and “The Disposables” (written by Keegan Moore and Dylan Hamilton-Smith), The Film School has recently announced the directors and producers of the ambitious two-day shoot scheduled for November. After interviews with Department Chair Chris Eyre and production mentor Hank Rogerson, Bonnie Burchfield—a senior film major and co-producer of last year’s “Mister Stapleton”—will direct “Oasis Motel,” a contemporary drama with a strong female lead. And Peter Crowder, senior film major, will tackle the “Enter the Dojo” web series spinoff titled “The Disposables.” “It wasn’t a script that was submitted,” Crowder says, explaining the circumstances of “The Disposables” selection. In the past, scripts have been chosen from a pool of student submissions, usually one drama and one comedy. “It was an idea that the school had,” Crowder explains, “a marketing move a bit.” Because College of Santa Fe alum Matt Page has gained wide viewership on his “Enter the Dojo” web series (about the world of an American karate school taught by Matt Page’s character Master Ken), Crowder explains that The Film School was hoping for Page’s “followers” to become aware of Shoot the Stars, while Shoot the Stars would provide an unique opportunity for “Enter the Dojo.” So while the branding of Page’s web series remains consistent, the Shoot the Stars team would have creative rights to an original Dojo offshoot. In preparation for writing a script, Crowder explains that the new Shoot the Stars class watched “Enter the Dojo: 100 Ways to Kick the Groin” in order to “get a feeling” of Page’s style. Consequently, film students Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Keegan Moore (the Dylan and Keegan comedy duo as they’re known in The Film School) wrote a fitting short called “The Disposables.” “If you remember The Expendables,” Crowder says, “about a group of aging action heroes…that could be an [inference] of the title of our project.” Regarding the writers of “The Disposables,” Crowder adds, “they’re absolutely hilarious people.” Despite working closely with Page in branding consistency, Crowder says that the Shoot the Stars team won’t be creating another web series episode, but a “little feature[tte] of what is Master Ken’s life outside of the Dojo.” And though Page’s Master Ken character will be key in the original script, the required Shoot the Stars guest actors (an unidentified 40-year-old woman and 50-year-old man) will also appear in the story. “The script is in motion, it’s fluid and subject to change,” Crowder says. Meanwhile, he prepares for his shoot by analyzing the script and solidifying the “look” of the film. As far as an artistic vision, it helps that Crowder’s range of filmmaking is so diverse. Able to “play with the cheesy and funny action films” to the “bad B movies,” Crowder says he has experience in working with heavy visuals as well as heavy dialogue. And running, for example, SFUAD’s Rock Horror Picture Show on campus for the third year running has made “working with other people” his speciality. “If a script is intentionally bad or even unintentionally bad,” Crowder muses, “there is an opportunity to make it a great movie. It’s so much fun to do that!” Supporting Crowder as co-producers in “The Disposables,” juniors Matthew Krekeler and Anastasia Gendelman have already begun planning for the November shoot. This week, the producers will hold, for example, interviews for positions like director of photography, cinematographer and production designer (a position which Gendelman assisted in last year and says is a “totally different realm” than producing). “Producers should be able to find the right people,” Krekeler says. As previous locations manager for Shoot the Stars, Krekeler knows the importance of “building a team,” a task which Krekeler and Gendelman have found simple due to the “passion” encountered in their “awesome interviews” thus far. With the addition of a Shoot the Stars class, Krekeler and Gendelman say they have started interviews and meetings early this year and have procured, thanks to Film School Assistant Chair Paula Amanda, “Longmire’s” old office space in Onate Hall. They hope to utilize the space for production meetings, storyboarding, scheduling, etc. “It adds to the real world experience,” Krekeler says. Bonnie Burchfield, director of “Oasis Motel,” is also grateful...

In a month filled with fiesta, few venues in New Mexico can compare in popularity and size to Albuquerque’s State Fair, running this year from Sept. 10-21. Part of EXPO New Mexico, a self-sustaining agency, the 61-year-old fair was created to “reflect and showcase” the state’s “agriculture, industries, arts, science and technology, diversity of people and traditions…and promote youth development and education.” Within the 200 annual events of EXPO New Mexico, the Albuquerque State Fair is the local favorite, providing native artists and business owners a venue to promote their work and establishments via the entertaining and food-bombarding atmosphere. This year, the fair offered its usual exhibitions and markets along the main road of Governors’ Avenue, performances and events in its Pavilion, and of course the midway carnival (complete with various-sized ferris wheels, vomit-inducing rides and marry-go-round!). Overall, the experience can be summarized in three categories: art, animals and food. Last weekend to visit Albuquerque’s State Fair, today through Sept. 20. As the EXPO New Mexico website reads, Go Fair! Art The Hispanic Arts Center, located along Avenue of the Governors, is an exhibition dedicated to Hispanic arts. This year artists submit their work in 22 visual arts categories, from traditional to contemporary, and materials included wood, straw, wax, porcelain, oil, watercolor, paper, tin, photography, wire, nails, etc. According to Cheree Bloom, art seller at this year’s Hispanic market, artists eligible for first, second, third place ribbons and honorable mentions must be at least one quarter Hispanic. Bloom says that although they go by the honor system, if any of the artists are challenged, they must present their birth certificates. This year, the submissions were judged by three residents of New Mexico, artists with degrees and an eye for what locals consider “Hispanic-themed” art. Much of the work, for example, reflected Roman Catholic values, Southwestern culture, and the Mexican-influenced...
Q/A: Julie Powell
posted by Charlotte Martinez
“The road to hell is paved with leeks and potatoes.” —Julie Powell From sort-of-actress and desk-job employee to author and amateur cook, Julie Powell set a pathway for 21st century bloggers and launched a writing career. From blog, to memoir, to movie—Powell’s ambitious Julie and Julia project, cooking Julia Child’s 524 recipes over 365 days, warranted national attention and her second memoir Cleaving, A Story of Marriage, Meat and Obsession (2009) ignited mixed opinions. Unlike some negative criticism from her book Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen (largely from those who didn’t understand that Powell was a writer rather than a professional cook), Powell’s 2009 novel Cleaving was met with some “eyerolls and raised eyebrows,” Jennie Yabroof from Newsweek writes. Allison McCarthy from GlobalComment.com, however, defends the author’s subject of marriage, sex and the metaphors of meat, writing that “much of the criticism Power has received…relies on all-too-familiar sexist tropes of female authors as mentally unstable and unworthy of serious consideration. Apparently, women aren’t supposed to publicly express the same adulterous desires that prolific male writer often describe, at least not without being savaged by critics.” Despite the conflicting responses to her memoirs, Powell continues in her “engaging and humorous” voice, tackling next the art of fiction writing with her husband. Powell has appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” CBS’s “The Early Show,” “The Martha Stewart Show” and “Food Network’s Iron Chef America.” Her writing has been published in Bon Appétit, Food and Wine, Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times, and the Washington Post.

Nuclear Drama

Since its July premiere on WGN America, the new TV series “Manhattan,” shot in SFUAD’s very own backyard, has fans and critics exploding with positive feedback and heightened anticipation. TV critic Ed Bark of Unclebarky.com says the network’s second dramatic series is a “cerebral, character-driven morality play in which the stakes couldn’t be higher.” From Denver Post Television, critic Joanne Ostrow calls the show “Harvard with sand,” a “well-crafted, historically based drama” that “works its magic through a talented cast and a taut script.” In an interview conducted by Fox6Now news, “Manhattan” TV star John Benjamin Hickey (“The Good Wife,” “The Big C”) comments that writer Sam Shaw has taken an “imaginative leap of faith” in creating a show that could have been “historically accurate [to] this time and place and instead has focused on the emotional truth.” Unlike the city landscape of Woody Allen’s 1979 romance Manhattan, the “Manhattan” TV series takes place during WWII in the isolated desert of Los Alamos New Mexico, in which the race to create the most destructive weapon of war burdens top scientists and their families with maddening pressure and secrecy. With series like “Breaking Bad” and “Longmire” (recently cancelled pending new network ownership) in the New Mexico’s back pocket, “Manhattan” has kept the state thriving in network drama, bringing in names like director Thomas Schlamme (“The West Wing,” “Murder in the First”), writer Sam Shaw (“Masters of Sex”), and actors John Benjamin Hickey, Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Hyde Park on the Hudson), Daniel Stern (Home Alone, City Slickers) and Christopher Denham (Argo) to New Mexico. In an interview with Jackalope, creator and writer Sam Shaw with director Thomas Schlamme describe how the historical drama relates to New Mexico’s Manhattan Project and what they hope the locals will get out of it.

Ronnie Gene Blevins: Rising Star
posted by Charlotte Martinez
Yes, it’s Nicolas Cage. No, it’s not entertainment. It’s a cinematic story adopted from Larry Brown’s 1991 novel, told in a spirit of blunt realism and within a not-so-fictional atmosphere of the gritty South. Involving gusty performances by actors like Ronnie Gene Blevins, the independent feature Joe, starring Nicolas Cage and directed by David Gordon Green, takes bold moves in character development and throws audience expectation out the window. As a student filmmaker and two-year-projectionist for The Screen, I honestly believe that features like Joe are what the cinematic experience is all about. So you think, Nicolas Cage plus David Gordon Green (known for Elf and Pineapple Express) must equal a high budgeted comedy, right? At least that’s what actor Blevins thought when he was offered the role as Willy Russell, the villain. To a small but intrigued audience at The Screen May 2, Blevins shared that it was his assumption of a big budget comedy that led him to sending “a larger than life” audition tape to director Green. Perhaps his performance was “against the type of the film,” but Blevins heard back from Green all the same, who said that a larger than life villain wasn’t so far from what he had in mind. “My brain was kind of scrambled,” Blevins says, explaining how director Green had requested an audition tape while Blevins was working “these long day in the middle of Appalachia.” Green, who had seen Blevins’ short role in The Dark Knight Rises as a bad guy truck driver, was interested in casting Blevins in the character of a Texas lowlife, but it was only after reading the script that the reality of Blevins’ dark and sadistic role in Joe sunk in. “My resumé includes a lot of bad guys, a lot of evil dudes and episodic [roles],” Blevins says. “This guy straight from the page, there’s just no humanity. So that’s kind of tough.” The challenge, the actor says, then becomes how not to pre-judge Willie and make him one-dimensional but to “find ways, when possible, to put some humor into him…humanity when possible.” It helps, Blevins says, that he’s actually from Texas, where the film was shot and takes place. Though Blevins’ resumé is already filled with impressive credits (including a successful writing career with productions American Cowslip and Eiderdown Goose), he says that working with Nicolas Cage and David Gordon Green has been a highlight of his career. The actor especially liked the role of Willie Russell because it was a role Green allowed him to develop on his own. “Green has a way of inspiring performances which is really quite beautiful and poetic,” Blevins says, “and he’s more inclined to shy away from the technical. He lets us do our thing and sees where it lands.” That atmosphere of improv, Blevins explains, was what kept the mood on set so “light and playful,” despite the darkness of the story. And even if the physical toll was high, like getting whiplash after Joe (Nicolas Cage) beats Willie Russell repeatedly, it was still all about allowing the actors to try anything and everything. Blevins says “there was nothing we could bring up that would be considered wrong.” And if a bar fight sounds too clichéd for a story about the South, it will make sense when the overload of guns, beer, pit bulls, junk yards, and police cars all pause for those moments of true humanity between Joe and Gary, the boy the character Joe takes under his wing. Perhaps more intriguing and certainly saddening, when casting the character of Gary’s abusive father, Green hired a homeless man named Gary Poulter, whose one-time acting role is characterized as “one of the great one-shot performances in the history of cinema,” by Rogerebert.com critic Peter Sobczynski. The term one-shot performance was used, Blevins explains, because two months after the film’s wrap, Poulter was found dead, face down in a river, the same...
