Events: THE NIGHT OF THE AD (La nuit de la pub)

A conference with Anne Saint Dreux from la 'Maison de la Pub' follewed by two screenings *
*screenings in French and English with subtitles and conference in English

About the Event
From the first film produced by the Lumière Brothers to the most sophisticated special effects, from French advertisements to the most distant creations, the “Nuit de la Pub” (“The Night of the Ad”) offers a journey in time and space.
Speaker Anne Saint Dreux will lead a lecture on Is there a strategy of Emotion in Advertising?, followed by two montage screenings entitled:

French women in advertising
Around the world with 80 ads
A unique chance to discover -or rediscover- the evolution of the advertising film from its beginning, and to better understand how its message is shaping contemporary societies.

About the Speaker
Anne Saint Dreux is currently the Director-Founder of the “Maison de la Pub” in Paris and the official French representative of the “Art Directors Club” of New York. “La Maison de la Pub” highlights the economical and sociological value of the advertising message beyond its unique commercial context.
Since she participated in research in this field, Anne Saint Dreux has tried to make that complex cultural heritage intelligible both for academics and professionals.

This event is presented by Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles in cooperation with the Alliance Française of Los Angeles, the General Delegation of the Alliance Française and La Maison de la Pub.

Events: "THE MAKING OF A SUPERSTAR"...A DOCUMENTARY

MESSAGE FROM HOST

We are making this documentary to track the progress of actors attending "Book the Job with Hypnosis"...A Workshop for Actors. This class is making a difference. Actors are experiencing immediate shifts in consciousness that reflect in their outward behavior at auditions. They feel more confident, focused and powerful...and you can't fake that. Come join us - participate and be interviewed. Someone, or everyone there is going to break out any minute now! Let us document your rise to SUPERSTARDOM!!!

Are you still nervous at auditions? Are you nailing the audition but not booking the job? Are you booking, but not consistently?

Wherever you are, you know where you want to be: a full-time working actor with a six-figure income and beyond. But conscious desire is not always enough to get what you want.

Hypnosis can help you reach that comfort zone to gain self-confidence and expand your ability to allow a greater level of success in your career. Through guided visualization, you'll experience the entire process from your audition notification to booking the job.

When we visualize success in the state of hypnosis, the Subconscious Mind will accept this experience as fact and we begin to feel more excited, successful and powerful!

Success starts in the mind, so take control of your thoughts and create the career you want! Join Certified Hypnotherapist RoseAnn Kelley for a group hypnotherapy workshop designed just for actors like you!

Cost: $35.00

***First time attendees $11.11***
Cash at the door

***Doors open at 10:45 am***
Free parking

Host:
Yeniffer Behrens and RoseAnn Kelley, C.Ht.310-728-5230
When:
Wednesday, March 02 from 10:45 AM
to 12:30 PM
Where:
True Form Films Production Office at Jeremiah Comey Film Acting Studio

EVENTS: Getting policymakers' attention for your documentary

Women in Film and Video (WIFV.org) is a D.C. professional group for both men and women who work in media industries

Wednesday, March 2, 2011 - 7 PM

PLACE: Capitol Hill Suites, 200 C Street SE, Washington, DC 20003
Two blocks from Capitol South Metro, just next to the Library of Congress

COST: $10 for WIFV members, $20 for non-members
RSVP: membership@wifv.org

Many documentary filmmakers are driven by a desire not only to tell compelling stories but also to have an impact on public policies and laws. When such filmmakers see an injustice or abuse, they may make great sacrifices to bring the truth to light in hopes that change will come. The journey often brings them to Washington, D.C., where so many policies are made and amended. This can lead to an awkward interaction with policymakers, who at times are part of the problem, yet whose leadership is needed to be part of the solution. This panel will discuss the most effective ways to gain positive attention for your documentary project.

FILM INFO:
Filmed over nearly three years, WASTE LAND follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of "catadores" -- self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz's initial objective was to "paint" the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives. Director Lucy Walker (Devil's Playground, BlindsighT and COUNTDOWN TO ZERO) and co-directors João Jardim and Karen Harley have great access to the entire process and, in the end, offer stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.

Don't miss this film.
