Isaiah Gatlin Inspire Film Festival story Ten feature-length films, seven short films, four days and the first of its kind in The Woodlands; the Inspire Film Festival is reintroducing humility to the community. “Good films about good people doing good things,” is plastered on the homepage of the Inspire Film Festival’s website. The director of the festival, Jane Minarovic, realized the importance of creating the festival though her own experience of being influenced by films that evoke a sense of humility. A Woodlands native, Minarovic has constructed this event for a long time coming with intentions to embrace and celebrate the human spirit. Minarovic searched relentlessly to find the best films which would send the message to viewers that through the day to day hardships they deal with there is a greater joy, and it only takes simple acts of kindness. …show more content…

Lasting from Feb. 23-26, the film festival will include nearly 20 films made exclusively by independent filmmakers. Shedding light on films that would otherwise not be seen in theatres dominated by major production companies is another one of Minarovic’s intentions. By intertwining both short and full-length films made independently into the festival, gives filmmakers the exposure needed to thrive in an industry so heavily weighted on

    The crowd-pleaser walks a fine, inescapable line between uplift and shameless maudlinism. Cynicism is pervasive, yet unapologetically sentimental films such as Rocky and Forrest Gump periodically magnetize the multitudes. The story of the underdog who defies the odds is as timeless as it is transparent. Rudimentary emotions, despite their apparent simplicity, can be ineffably potent.

  • Classical and Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema

    2472 Words  | 5 Pages

    During the course of this essay it is my intention to discuss the differences between Classical Hollywood and post-Classical Hollywood. Although these terms refer to theoretical movements of which they are not definitive it is my goal to show that they are applicable in a broad way to a cinema tradition that dominated Hollywood production between 1916 and 1960 and which also pervaded Western Mainstream Cinema (Classical Hollywood or Classic Narrative Cinema) and to the movement and changes that came about following this time period (Post-Classical or New Hollywood). I intend to do this by first analysing and defining aspects of Classical Hollywood and having done that, examining post classical at which time the relationship between them will become evident. It is my intention to reference films from both movements and also published texts relative to the subject matter. In order to illustrate the structures involved I will be writing about the subjects of genre and genre transformation, the representation of gender, postmodernism and the relationship between style, form and content.

    Many independent films have given women and minorities a fair representation on camera, explored other cultures with an objective view and attempted to fairly portray the American experience. The 2009 film the visitor told the story of a widowed college professor who befriends a Syrian immigrant and his Senegalese girlfriend who live in a small apartment next to him in Manhattan. This film in particular is significant given that it was still nominated for an oscar, but more importantly was filmed independently, “Mr. McCarthy also noted, his was also a low-budget, character-driven indie film, which gave him the freedom to take his story where he wanted, without having to worry about high-concept pitches, marketing strategies or focus groups.” (New York Times). Another film titled 3 and ½ minutes is a documentary which tells the story of a black teenage shot in Jackson Florida and analyzes the current relationship between races in America. This is a highly relevant film however it was not widely popular. Advantageous is among many films given the 2015 sundance film festival award that focused on life for women in a constantly shifting society, These movies show that there American Cinema does exist that gives a voice to people and cultures that are unrepresented however hollywood still has a long way to

    Moreover, the purpose of this chapter is to talk about the Dr. Presence (2016) “contemporary oppositional British film culture” (p. 103) has Dr. Presence stated; realizing that the other side of the film culture in Britain is being ignored by the mainstream. He goes on by saying that it is important to recover the history of the “underground” film scene to understand the nature of contemporary film and what direction it will take in the future. There is confidence in Dr. Presence’s work because of his work relating to film, politics and avant-garde. Along with a current project he is working on which is a book version of his thesis, The Political Avant-garde: Oppositional Documentary in Britain since 1990 which touches on similar topics such as this chapter, he was been an active member in the film studies and radical film festival settings.

    My film pallet has opened up so much there isn’t a movie that I can’t appreciate for some reason. I may not appreciate some films as much as other, but most films there’s something to be appreciated in it. When I look at the hollywood films of today I am going to remember that they are large committee films that can’t have the concise vision of most led by a single person. When looking at them this way I’m going to expect a committee film and look toward the non-committee film market to get my films that are going to be truly great. I will also most likely search to films of hold before searching for new releases until I have enough of a depth of knowledge under me. When I approach making films I am going to approach them questioning how everything I do help tell the best story possible. I am also going to take the techniques and practices from the greats and combine them other greats I know to make the best film I

  • Analysis Of The Movie Pay It Forward

    756 Words  | 2 Pages

    This movie is about a boy, Trevor McKinney, and the idea he came up with to change the world. This idea started when Trevor’s teacher, Mr. Eugene Simonet, required his 7th grade Social Studies class to come up with an idea that could change the world as a requirement for the whole school year. Trevor came up with the concept of “Pay it forward” where he would do a good deed for three people and ask nothing in return from them but to just pay it forward and do good deeds to three other people. He helped a homeless man by giving him money and providing him with food and shelter for a while. Then, he helped Mr. Simonet in easing his loneliness by introducing him to his mother. Lastly,

  • Why Do People Watch Movies?

    Movies take us inside the skin of people quite different from ourselves and to places different from our routine surroundings. As humans, we always seek enlargement of our being and wanted to be more than ourselves. Each one of us, by nature, sees the world with a perspective and selectivity different from others. But, we want to see the world through other’s eyes; imagine with other’s imaginations; feel with other’s hearts, at a same time as with our own. Movies offer us a window onto the wider world, broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders.
