Film History & Techniques Of Early Cinema
This program looks at the very birth of cinema in the late
1800's through the talkies in 1928. The dawn of the moving
image began early in the 19th century. George Eastman, of
Eastman-Kodak fame, created a celluloid film stock that could
be wound on a reel, resulting in the first actual example of
moving images on film. Experiments in the 1890s by W.K.L.
Dickson and William Heise, under the auspices of the Thomas
Edison Company, resulted in the invention of the Kinetograph,
a vertical feed camera which exposed film and had a row of
sprockets on each side of the celluloid strip. Featured are
early films from Thomas Edison, The Lumiere Brothers and
George Melies.

Expressive Action
“The study of acting should begin with physical action—a
specialized, structured, flexible and adaptable physical action
that is enlisted in the direct service of the expression of
thought and feeling. I call this integrated physical action an
expressive action.”--Michael Lugering. A group of actors work
through a series of carefully structured exercises and
improvisations that unlock the physical, raw materials that
make human expression possible. Whether the actor is
expressing love, loss, rage or joy, unlocking these universal
will provide the building blocks for captivating and dynamic
acting.

Film History & Techniques Of Cinematography
Mise-en-scene looks at how filmmakers make decisions about
what is put before the camera. It includes costumes, props,
set design, positioning of actors and much more. Mise en
scène is a term that refers to all visual elements that appear
within each frame of a motion picture. The concept of mise en
scène for film shares a lot with theatre production in that
props, sets and blocking of actors are all deliberately chosen
for particular effects, although the physical space of the stage
and theater often limit or dictate how mise en scène is
perceived by an audience.

This segment will focus on cinematography, or camera work
and how this tool helps in the creation of the story. The role of
the camera operator, or cinematographer, can be highly
artistic while simultaneously requiring significant scientific and
technical knowledge to be performed well. In the first decade
of motion pictures, the role of the cinematographer or camera
operator and director were one and the same, but as cinema
evolved, the duties of the director and cinematographer
diverged. In this program we review Academy Award winner,
James Wong Howe, who pioneered dollying and handheld
camera techniques as well as the use of unconventional light
sources. We take a look at his 1938 film Algiers, which focused
on the moving camerawork.

Film History & Techniques Of Documentary
Filmmaking
Documentary talks about some of the different styles of
documentary filmmaking from the birth of cinema to the
present day. With the birth of cinema in the 1890s,
spearheaded by America’s Thomas Edison and France's Louis
and Auguste Lumiere, filmmaking progressed in two
directions. Edison brought his subjects before a stationary
camera to his tarpaper-covered studio called the Black Maria
partly because the camera required multiple people to move
it. The Lumiere brothers created the cinematographe. The
resulting camera mobility allowed people to go out into the
world and both document events and project films. Included
are a number of clips from classic documentary films.

Film History & Techniques Of Sound
This program will focus on sound design and how life can be

about them, we can categorize all sounds into one of three
categories: dialogue or voice, music, and sound effects. Music
is quite often not part of the film itself, but a musical track
that adds to the mood of the film. Both music and sound
effects are usually classified as either diegetic (sounds occur
inside of the film’s action) or non-diegetic (sounds are those
which do not occur within the film).

This program focus’s on lighting and how a cinematographer

before the camera. It discusses what tools are used to create
different lighting set-ups and uses a number of examples to
illustrate how this important element is decided. Lighting
design falls into two categories, High-Key lighting and Low-Key
lighting. High-Key lighting provides relatively bright, even
illumination of the film frame or scene, the kind the director
and producer of a big-scale musical productions may choose.
Low-key lighting is focused lighting with strong contrast. Lowkey lighting works well in horror films, or any film in which a
director wishes to create suspense or keep you guessing what
is in the dark, inky shadows on the outskirts of the frame.

called killers, terrorists, liars and thieves. They have started
wars, dealt ruthlessly with enemies and been responsible for
blood in the streets.
Through a creative counterpoint between historical ‘truth’
and memory, supported by powerful archival material, the
series thoughtfully critiques often intractably difficult political
histories. Melding archival footage with interviews with some
of the most prominent and controversial politicians and
activists alive, these films delve into the careers of the most
divisive characters in recent political history.
Shimon Peres has quite literally spent a lifetime at the seat of
power since that very day and with a seven-decade-long career in politics at the heart of the Middle East conflict. The
second in the series of documentary films reveals the price he
paid for being a leader, helping us answer the question “What
is Leadership?” It’s hard to overestimate the achievements of
Shimon Peres as a nation builder, but in the words of the
President, “What we call experience, the younger generation
call a chain of mistakes”. Despite winning the Nobel Peace
Prize for his attempts to negotiate peace between Israel, the
nation he helped to build, and its neighbors; Israel remains at
war.

This unique glimpse into the true nature of leadership
discovers what made them change and turn to peace. It
questions how and why some of them succeeded where
others failed. The secrets, sacrifices and regrets of power are
revealed through exclusive conversations with world leaders,
their wives, children, closest advisors and, of course, their
enemies…
Oscar Arias
Yasser Arafat
In the 80s, Central America was in crisis. Wracked by brutal
civil wars, death squads and militia backed by the warring
Superpowers of the Cold War. Yet one man at the center of
this conflict decided to take action against the chaos. ‘The
Price of Kings: Oscar Arias’ explores the legacy of this man: the
former President of Costa Rica and lone leader without an
army who had the courage to forge peace with his neighbors
against the will of US President, at risk to his own life and the
impoverishment of his people.
Yasser Arafat’s political legacy is one marred by controversy.
To some, he was a heroic revolutionary who fought for the
freedom of Palestine and the rights of his people; to others he
was a terrorist and leader of a corrupt state. Yet regardless of
the dichotomy, Yasser Arafat’s position at the heart of the
Middle East conflict for over forty years makes him a
character of incredible significance.
With groundbreaking access to the people who knew Yasser
Arafat best; his wife, Suha Arafat, his political allies and his
adversaries, the film delves into Yasser Arafat’s history, the
personal struggles he faced and sacrifices he made seeking to
establish peace with Israel, whilst at the same time trying to
build a Palestinian nation for his people.

Far Out - Measuring The Universe
Astronomy & Space
How far is a star or a galaxy? Scaling and measuring the
cosmos is a complex problem. Scientists are integrating
mathematical applications and scientific technology to create
standards. Distances are so vast they are described in light
years – the distance light travels in a year. Nearby stars are
measured by trigonometry – the technique of parallax.
Farther out, astronomers use so-called “standard candles”,
the ‘Type Ia supernovae’ is the standard candle basis. Beyond
that the electromagnetic “redshift” of galaxies reveals their
distances.

This programming explores theories of the Universe exploding
from an infinitesimal speck to create matter, radiation, time
and space. In the first trillion-trillion-trillionth of a second, the
cosmos grew a hundred million times to less than the size of
an atom. Then, in another instant, the Universe was the size
of a galaxy. Now, billions of years later and strung along vast
filaments, our Universe has some 50-billion galaxies that
continue to expand as stars within them are born, live and die.
In the second half of this program, the creation and
disappearance of black holes is explored. These occur when a
massive star dies. As the star’s outer layers cascade into
space, the core collapses to beyond the visible and becomes a
voracious gravitational trap from which nothing, not even
