Stay "Connected" to Previous JSF Filmmaker Tiffany Shlain

 

U.S. State Dept. & USC kick off 

2012 American Film Showcase with

Connected screening in South Africa

We launch "Worldwide Host Your Own Screening Tour" 

& Our New Free Mobile Phone App

          

I've been thinking about the African philosophy "Ubuntu" meaning:

"I am what I am because of who we all are."

This idea is resonating so deeply for me today:) I'm en route to Cape Town, South Africa, where The U.S. State Department & USC is sending our film Connected to kick off The 2012 American Film Showcase at The Encounters Film Fesitval, with screenings, panel discussions, and workshops on the theme of connectivity.  We're so honored to be part of the Showcase, which brings select films from the last decade to embassies around the world to, as Secretary Clinton stated, "bring people together and foster greater understanding."

Stay tuned on Facebook and Twitter for updates:)

    

WORLDWIDE HOST YOUR OWN SCREENING TOUR:

We're celebrating this event by launching our "Worldwide Host Your Own Screening Tour," which will give companies, organizations, schools, and community centers around the world the opportunity to host a screening or fundraiser with Connected. 

These days, everyone seems to be moving so quickly.  We've found that these screening events allow communities and organizations the time to have meaningful conversations about the good, the bad and the potential of all this connectivity... both personally and globally.

Our team at The Moxie Institute provides all the ingredients needed to host a successful event (learn more here), including the DVD or Blu-Ray, hands-on discussion materials to engage deeper in the topics raised in the film, and our new!  interactive mobile app (free for iPhone today and soon on Android).

BE PART OF OUR NEXT FILM:

And lastly, please take a few minutes to participate in our new short "Cloud Film," about the importance of engaging in society. You can watch our call for entries here. Deadline is July 1st:)

To Ubuntu,

- Tiffany, Ken, Sawyer, Haley, Jesse, Simone, Toni & Grace

The Journal of Short Film arrives at Ohio State University

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

The Film Studies Program at The Ohio State University is pleased to announce that it is now the publisher of The Journal of Short Film. This quarterly DVD-publication of original artistic work was founded by Karl Mechem, who served as its Executive Editor through the initial four years. The editorial review board has included Associate Curator Jennifer Lange and Studio Editor Paul Hill from the Media Arts area of the Wexner Center for the Arts. They have graciously agreed to continue working with us in that capacity and are joined at the present time by Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies, Brian Hauser of Union College. Matt Swift, Academic Advisor for the Film Studies Program is overseeing the production process from within our office.

Having now assumed the role of Executive Editor of the Journal of Short Film, I’m thrilled with its current state and potential for the future. With Volume 17 in production and the selection process for Volume 18 underway, we are committed to maintaining the JSF’s place as the unique outlet for original creative work in this vein. I invite you to visit our website at www.thejsf.org to learn more about the submission process, previous and forthcoming volumes, discounted orders, individual and institutional subscriptions, and the time and place of release screenings. Our future plans include developing companion components such as critical textual sites and pedagogical packages, and these will be detailed on the website as they come into full focus.

Beyond the new address, listed above, current subscribers should notice no changes in price or service as a result of the JSF’s transfer. Please check out the JSF, consider subscribing if you do not already do so, and pass word along to your friends, colleagues, and libraries.


Sincerely,

John E. Davidson, Director
