Description:
Premiering for the first time anywhere, “Plain Jane The SHOCKUMENTARY” will
be shown at 8pm and 10pm on November 17, 2012 at Standing Rock Cultural Arts’ North
Water Street Gallery in Kent, Ohio.
The film is a “shockumentary” in that common notions about disabled
people are turned upside down and backwards. Part interview, part music video,
part animation, and part reenactment, this film explores new territory in the
realm of human experience; a triumph of the will as Jane overcomes obstacles
and destroys popular myths.
Jane was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a condition which is manifested by
extremely brittle bones. At birth, Jane had twenty-six broken bones and was not
expected to live 3 hours. By the time she was in high school, she had broken
200.
With a large dose of dark humor, this independent film by Tom Trainer documents
the eccentric life of a woman with a disability, Jane Hash. Due to adult themes,
children will not be permitted. For more information go to www.plainjanetheshockumentary.com

ABOUT THE FILM, “FRED WON’T
MOVE OUT”
FRED WON'T MOVE OUT, written and directed by Richard Ledes, starring
Elliott Gould and Fred Melamed.
Elliott Gould stars as Fred, an elderly man living in his house
of over fifty years, with his Alzheimer's suffering wife, Susan
(Judith Roberts). Fred's grown-up children (Fred Melamed and
Stephanie Roth Haberle) try to convince him to move to a care home
with Susan, but he is not ready to leave yet.
According to columnist Andrew McArthur, "Fred reflects issues that are likely
to strike a chord with many of us, excelling in its delicate
portrayal of the aging process. These well crafted characters
ensure the viewer feels the dilemma of Fred's children, as well as
empathizing with Fred's desire to grasp his independence at home.
These issues are perfectly represented from a wonderful cast."
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
Discussion: Cinemabricolage
In reflecting on the process of making FRED WON’T MOVE OUT, Ledes coined
the word cinemabricolage to describe what he sees as an important salient feature
of current filmmaking for himself and other filmmakers. After completing the
film, he took the time to define it. Cinemabricolage: “You use a pack of
matches or a napkin to steady a table that is wobbling—that’s a simple
example of bricolage. It’s French word the anthropologist Clause Levi-Strauss
used to describe a kind of thinking that uses whatever is at hand in unintended
ways. Cinemabricolage-- to take one contemporary manifestation—is the use
of a dslr--a camera primarily intended to take still images--to make a feature-length
moving picture. More broadly, it could be said to be the use of ‘video’ to
make a ‘film.’ It is using a location to which you have access and
then finding the story from that access rather than the other way around.
It is the art of making films by making do with what is at hand. Filmed improvisation
is perhaps essential to cinemabricolage— precursors could be considered
Cassavetes, Leigh, Antonioni, to name a few. Improvisation here primarily is
not in most cases starting without a screenplay, it is starting with something—which
could be a screenplay—and then using it in other ways than it was originally
intended.
I like to remember what Walter Benjamin wrote about the angel of history: Where
we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe that keeps piling
ruin upon ruin and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay,
awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing
from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel
can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future
to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward.
This storm is what we call progress. It is in this pile of debris that Cinemabricolage
finds its resources. I think this is true of my film FRED WON’T MOVE OUT.”
ABOUT ELLIOT GOULD
Elliott Gould began his acting career on Broadway in the 1960s, and then went
on to become the embodiment of a disenchanted youth culture in such films Robert
Altman’s Korean War satire M*A*S*H in which he played the maverick surgeon "Trapper
John" and Bob & Ted & Carol & Alice, for which he received an Oscar
nomination. Time Magazine placed him on one of its covers in 1970, at a peak
of his long and prolific career, calling him a "star for an uptight age."

Film Fest Wrap Up
Congratulations to Jaime Stone from Australia for winning the People's Choice and The Audience Choice Award for his insightful and amusing "Space Travel According To John" short film ! A great piece of sand animation and dialog that could only come from the mind of a kid.
It was great to have Miles Kalbach make an appearance to explain his dark comedy, "Sonny Mails A Letter", which won the Juried Choice for last year's festival. It was an exceptionally difficult competition this year due to the number of outstanding films. The audience had a sound and visual feast from which to choose; from the blighted streets of Los Angeles to the futuristic robots of post-apocalyptic, London. The festival spanned the globe and beyond.
A special thank you to The Trepanning Trio for performing Live Music. Thanks also to Mike Hovancsek for directing the festival and volunteering so much time and talent. And finally, thanks to our audience for such a great turnout and enthusiastic response. We hope everyone brings a friend next year and we have to hold the festival on two nights instead of one.

6) Animation Hotline – Dustin Grella ( United States ): We have shown a lot
of our friend Dustin’s films in the past and we were not planning on

project and it was just too good to pass up. Every day people call a
hotline and leave messages. Then, every day Dustin makes a chalkboard
animation of one of them. Here are a few highlights.
