Visual Intonation Podcast – Featuring Taj Devore-Bey In this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit down with Taj Devore-Bey, a rising Philadelphia-based cinematographer whose lens is shaped as much by trauma as it is by talent. Before he picked up a camera, Devore-Bey was navigating the sharp edges of adolescence in Southwest Philly, where a life-altering home invasion forever redefined his idea of safety. At 16, he witnessed his father survive a near-fatal shooting — a moment that shattered the concept of home and safety, and later echoed through every frame of his visual storytelling. Devore-Bey's artistic journey is rooted in dualities: light and shadow, chaos and calm, grit and grace. A former high school football player at Cheltenham and a student of film and media at Mott Community College, he brings the discipline of sport and the depth of scholarship into his work. He has served as Director of Photography and Assistant Editor on Awaken: A Tale of Inner-City Violence, Crime, and Its Impact — a film that mirrors much of what he has lived and seeks to interrogate through his camera. His voice is young, but his eye is seasoned. Influenced by visionaries like Spike Lee, Terrence Malick, Ava DuVernay, and the visual mastery of Bradford Young and Chivo Lubezki, Devore-Bey crafts work that refuses to look away. Each shot is an invitation to see — not just what's there, but what it means. His commitment to empathy and perspective permeates every project, including his collaboration on Pulled Over/Pulled Under, where he worked alongside a powerful creative team addressing racial profiling and systemic injustice. Join us for a conversation that moves beyond the lens: into memory, identity, survival, and the enduring question of how art can not only reflect the world, but reshape it. Taj Devore-Bey isn't just documenting stories: he's reclaiming them.   Taj Devore-Bey's Website: https://www.tajdevorebey.com/  Taj Devore-Bey's IMDB: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12091903/  Taj Devore-Bey's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tajdevorebey/?hl=en  Taj Devore-Bey's Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/tajdevore  Taj Devore-Bey's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/tajdevorebey Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

On this last episode of 2023, step into the captivating world of Yves François Wilson, a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work transcends the boundaries of traditional art forms. Hailing from Strasbourg, France, Yves is a master of lens-based works on paper and sculptural pieces created from found objects. His artistic journey is a testament to the power of storytelling, lineage, and the creation of new visual histories.  At the heart of Yves' artistic vision lies a profound commitment to exploring the visual narratives of forgotten histories.

Joe Gawler is the senior colorist and partner at The Harbor Picture Company in New York City. Joe and Lee go back a very long time. When Lee first started mastering movies in New York City, there weren't a lot of colorists who could work on feature films outside Hollywood. Most colorists in the city were only doing commercials or music videos and the emphasis was on the 30 second spot or the 3 minute MTV special. Joe could do these of course, but Lee quickly learned that Joe could handle the long form movie re-master very well. With the advent of high definition and the needed content to supply broadcasters with HD versions of classic films, Lee and Joe spent a lot of time together moving through dozens of films including Bergman, Fellini, Tarkovsky and countless others. Cut to 2022 and Joe is one of the leading feature film Digital Intermediate colorists in the world. In this episode, Ryan and Lee go back to Joe's humble beginnings, share some great stories, and talk about the evolution of the telecine transfer up to the digital camera and the changes in technology. It's a fun and fast paced conversation. ———————————— Over the years, Joe has built long- standing collaborations with respected cinematographers including Ellen Kuras, Harris Savides, Ed Lachman, Bradford Young, and Florian Ballhaus. Gawler's recent work includes Disney's "Hamilton," Kelly Reichardt's "First Cow," Ron Howard's "Solo: A Star Wars Story," Greta Gerwig's "Little Women," Robert Eggers' "The Lighthouse," and FX's "Fosse/Verdon." In 2020, "The Lighthouse and" "Little Women" earned nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards for ‘Best Cinematography' and ‘Best Picture', respectively. “Finding the bespoke look for a project drives my process,” says Gawler. He finds that the art of color grading is “a balancing act to push the most compelling images while staying true to the creative intent for all filmmakers involved.” His subtle art of ensuring that every filmmaker in the room is happy with the final image, and delivering a signature look, is what has given him the reputation of a trusted collaborator.

While in film school at NYU, Dee Rees directed a short film called Pariah that was essentially the first act of a feature script she was developing. Spike Lee, her professor and mentor, helped her get the feature version financed and in 2011, she released it to much acclaim. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our 10 Year Anniversary series with Rees' feature version of her short film Pariah. There's a lot to discuss about Pariah, from the performances to the filmmaking style. We love all of the performances in this film, but Adepero Oduye as Alike, our protagonist, is the heart of this film. Her journey of coming out as a lesbian is a powerful one, and we're right along the ride with her from the start of the film. But all the performances in Pariah are great. Pernell Walker as Alike's best friend Laura. Aasha Davis as her first love Bina. Charles Parnell and Kim Wayans as her parents. Everyone gets story time and they sell this journey. Pariah is a strong story because Rees doesn't make the parents typical antagonists who aren't happy with her as a lesbian. We get a sense of their world and can understand their perspective, even if we don't agree with them. We also get a strong sense of the family world and connections to church, not to mention Dad's affair. All of this helps us feel like we understand the family dynamics. Rees and her cinematographer Bradford Young crafted a personal, intimate film. The film is beautiful to look at with many gorgeous closeups. It also has raw energy in the scenes that require it. All told, it's clear right out of the gate that Rees is a filmmaker pushing honesty and truth with her first film in a visually exciting way. Pariah is a powerful film that delivers and rightfully holds up as one of the great LGBTQ films. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in!

In this Film Roundtable, we welcome back two friends, Director/DP Reed Morano and Director/DP Bradford Young for a therapeutic conversation in the wake of the potential IATSE strike. The two go straight into the quality of life concerns that exist in our business, as well as the general culture of self-care practice being neglected or treated as an afterthought. The two discuss how the stress to deliver in an unattainable time frame puts our mental health at risk and delve into the deep inequities between above the line and below the line crew members. In addition, Reed speaks about where her allegiance lies on set, taking care of her crew, while knowing that is not always the case for everyone in her position.  Listen and share this segment of an essential conversation that we must continue to amplify in a wider scope, so that we may begin the work of systemic change across the board.

Los datos de la policía de D.C. informan que el 2021 está teniendo un aumento del 43 por ciento en la tasa de homicidios con respecto al mismo periodo en 2020.Lo cual se agrava si consideramos que ya los datos de 2020 representaban el máximo registrado en los últimos 16 años."Con demasiada frecuencia hay hombres jóvenes [muertos], mujeres jóvenes que son secuestradas demasiado pronto.

La policía de la ciudad ha investigado en lo que va del año al menos 32 homicidios, un aumento del 60 por ciento con respecto a este mismo periodo el año pasado.La alcaldesa Keisha Lance Bottoms dio un discurso el mes pasado priorizando la necesidad de aplacar esta coyuntura cuando anunció un plan para contratar a 250 nuevos agentes de policía.Sin embargo, el aumento de violencia armada no ocurre solamente en los condados metropolitanos; se trata de una tendencia que también se ha propagado más allá de los suburbios.No olvidemos que fue en Atlanta donde se produjo el pasado marzo un tiroteo masivo en tres salones de spa que dejó un saldo de ocho víctimas mortales (seis de ellas, de ascendencia asiática).OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA. El recuento de homicidios hasta el 10 de abril —el día mayor mortalidad en la ciudad con un total de cuatro muertes— ascendió a 44 víctimas; eso es un asesinato cada tres días.La policía y los activistas culpan del aumento a dos secuelas de la pandemia: un aumento de las armas de fuego en las calles y una reducción de los programas de prevención de la violencia que dependen del contacto personal.También ha sido difícil para el Departamento de Prevención de la Violencia de Oakland reunirse con las familias de las víctimas para brindar apoyo en casos de trauma e intervenir a tiempo antes de que los amigos de las víctimas busquen venganza.La mayoría de las víctimas son hombres negros o latinos de entre 20 y 30 años muertos en tiroteos.Residentes de la zona aseguran que muchas de las víctimas fueron alcanzadas por una bala perdida o quedaron atrapadas en fuego cruzado.LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. Durante los tres primeros meses del año, Louisville reportó 47 homicidios y eso sin contar los más de 100 tiroteos sin víctimas mortales.Si la tendencia continúa, este año podría estar en camino de batir el récord de 173 homicidios y más de 580 tiroteos no-mortales de 2020."Si no hay intervención en el nivel preescolar, y al menos hasta el nivel de la escuela secundaria, entonces nos estamos engañando. No vamos a cambiar esto en los años de la escuela secundaria" dijo Christopher 2X, activista  de la comunidad.KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. La policía ya investiga el homicidio número 50 en lo que va de año. Ya en 2020 rompieron récord con un total de 182 asesinatos a lo largo del año. Si la tendencia se mantiene, esa cifra va camino de superarse en este 2021.Más del 60 por ciento de las víctimas de este año tienen entre 17 y 34 años. Y según el Departamento de Policía de Kansas City, la principal causa conocida de estos homicidios se relaciona con discusiones/peleas.Por qué tanta muerteLa tendencia era buena. Los delitos violentos llevaban años cayendo de forma drástica desde los años 90, aunque no parece que esté clara la explicación de por qué.Aún menos se puede encontrar ninguna explicación evidente sobre por qué han aumentado tan dramáticamente en los últimos 16 meses.Todavía no se han alcanzado las fatídicas cifras de los 90.Sin embargo, en Axios y Vox extraen algunas conjeturas basándose en publicaciones recientes y opiniones de expertos que han atajado el tema:COVID-19. El papel de la pandemia y sus efectos en la ansiedad de la sociedad. Colapso económico, aumento del desempleo, cierre de escuelas presenciales y retirada de muchos programas de prevención de la violencia, entre otros.No obstante, los delitos contra la propiedad como los robos han continuado en descenso. Y tampoco existe una conexión clara, en términos históricos, entre periodos de inestabilidad económica y las tasas de homicidio.Medidas pandémicas. La presencia del COVID-19 también ha implicado un retroceso generalizado de la acción policial y el cierre de algunos tribunales.Algo que sí ha podido contribuir a que se produjeran más homicidios —y a que se resolvieran menos.Venta de armas. En 2020, se registró un aumento histórico en la compra de armas de fuego, particularmente entre aquellos que compraban su primera arma, sumándose a un arsenal nacional ya desbordado.La creciente polarización política. Tampoco cabe restar importancia a los Estados Unidos que dejó Donald Trump —y que tuvo su punto culminante con el asalto al Capitolio del 6 de enero de 2021.Menos policía. Desde 2014, la oleada de protestas de Black Lives Matter provocó que departamentos de policía de todo el país redujeran su presencia y actuación en numerosas comunidades conflictivas.Y la falta de confianza derivada de muertes como las de Michael Brown en 2014 o George Floyd en 2020 pudo provocar también que los ciudadanos prefirieran tomarse la justicia por su cuenta.Ambos factores pudieron tener como consecuencia un aumento de la violencia.El verano más violentoLas previsiones apuntan a un verano violento en las calles de EEUU a la vista de que los homicidios ya parecen estar superando el pico del pasado año.Por si fuera poco, las tasas de homicidios suelen repuntar en verano, cuando el buen tiempo saca a más gente a la calle.¿Y qué hacer? Es difícil atajar un problema tan grande, extendido y creciente si el diagnóstico no es bueno (o definitivo). Y menos en un contexto en el que la policía carece de la confianza de una parte importante de la población.Especialmente, en comunidades afroamericanas donde el salto de violencia es muy destacado.En Vox, repasan medidas concretas como un aumento de la presencia policial en zonas de alto conflicto, recursos y prioridad para civiles miembros de comunidades afectadas o programas de apoyo y sanciones que ponen el foco en grupos violentos concretos.¿El problema? Que gran parte de las ideas que plantean los expertos requieren una vuelta a la normalidad prepandémica en la que el contacto personal pueda retomar protagonismo.La solución que menos gusta escuchar entre la izquierda es la de aumentar los recursos y la presencia de la policía si no hay reformas de por medio, pero las reformas requieren de tiempo, de sistemas de prueba-error y de resultados probados.Y la escalada de violencia quizá no se pueda permitir planteamientos tan ambiciosos, especialmente si requieren probar alternativas a la policía.¿Desea saber más? En CNN tienen un reportaje que explora en profundidad algunas de las teorías sobre el aumento del crimen que hemos tocado en esta newsletter. Y en Vox tratan la reforma policial a través de un libro que propone una nueva visión del problema de la violencia urbana en EEUU.🎬 Una recomendaciónCon la colaboración de FilminEl año más violento es una película de J.C. Chandor protagonizada por Jessica Chastain y Oscar Isaac. Ambientada en el invierno de 1981, uno de los más violentos en toda la historia de la ciudad de Nueva York, sigue la pista de un hombre inmigrante que aprovecha la coyuntura de violencia, corrupción y decadencia neoyorquinas para expandir su negocio.El filme de Chandor responde casi a la perfección a ese cliché del thriller a fuego lento, lo cual puede llegar a desesperar en algún tramo. Pero las recompensas son también destacadas: los coletazos de violencia, la exploración de la ambición y el sueño americano en un contexto histórico muy determinado o la angosta atmósfera que construye el cineasta en ese Nueva York amarillento y tétrico (tremenda la fotografía de Bradford Young).Pero son las interpretaciones las que hacen que El año más violento de verdad pegue un salto de calidad extra. Chastain está tremenda con un personaje femenino que en este género estamos menos acostumbrados a ver, pero es Isaac el que controla el ritmo de la película. Sin arriesgarme demasiado, es la mejor interpretación de su carrera hasta ahora. ¡Y he visto el baile de Ex Machina!El año más violento está disponible en Filmin.🎤 Un vídeo para aplaudir al MadrileñoLos Tiny Desk Concert llevan desde 2008 siendo uno de los programas musicales emblemáticos de NPR, la cadena de radio estadounidense (en gran parte) pública.El concepto nació después de que el presentador Bob Boilen y el productor Stephen Thompson, ambos de NPR, fueran a un concierto de la cantante de folk Laura Gibson en Austin, Texas, y abandonaran el bar en el que se estaba celebrando porque no podían escuchar la voz de la artista entre el barullo de los presentes.Lo que le propusieron a Gibson fue cantar en el despacho de Boilen mientras la grababan. El resultado tuvo éxito y ahí comenzó una franquicia que ya cuenta con cientos de ejemplos.Por Tiny Desk Concert han pasado Alicia Keys, BTS y, más recientemente, el español C. Tangana acompañado de su familia y de estrellas como Kiko Veneno, La Húngara o Antonio Carmona, de Ketama.Con motivo de la pandemia, NPR está haciendo versiones desde casa en vez de en los estudios de la emisora, lo que ha posibilitado que C. Tangana se haya montado un inspirado concierto durante la sobremesa.Su madre y su tía están en la esquina bailando y cantando como las que más.Es un concierto puto increíble, la verdad, y la versión que interpretan de ‘Los tontos’ es instantáneamente icónica.😆 Quitándole la graciaJosh Swain es un estudiante de ingeniería civil de 22 años que en abril de 2020, aburrido por estar confinado en casa con motivo de la pandemia, decidió crear un chat grupal en Facebook repleto de gente llamada como él: “Probablemente os estéis preguntando por qué os he juntado a todos aquí hoy”.“¿Porque todos compartimos el mismo nombre”, preguntó otro Josh Swain.El Josh Swain original contestó una vez más: “Exactamente. El 24 de abril de 2021 a las 12 del mediodía, quedemos en estas coordenadas, luchemos y quien gane se quedará con el nombre. Todos los demás deberán cambiarse el nombre. Tenéis un año para prepararos. Buena suerte”.Swain compartió capturas de la conversación en Twitter y el tuit se hizo viral.A lo largo del siguiente año, un poco a lo meme del Asalto al Área 51, usuarios en Twitter y Reddit hicieron multitud de memes al respecto. Por ejemplo:Conforme más se acercaba la cita, la expectación se disparó hasta tal punto que el Josh Swain original publicó un comunicado oficial con los detalles del evento. Todos los Josh participantes tenían que asistir con churros de piscina para pegarse de leches.Y la cosa tuvo… bastante éxito:¿Y quién ganó? Primero, dos organizaciones benéficas promocionadas por el Josh Swain original aprovechando la popularidad de la pelea.Y después, un niño de 5 años ahora llamado Little Josh que fue coronado en este absoluto momentazo por el que debemos dar las gracias a la existencia de internet:Y para terminar, no lo busques que nos conocemos:Hasta la semana que viene, This is a public episode.

The only way Shaka King was going to get a film made about the Chicago leader of the Black Panthers, Chairman Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya), was to mask it as ‘Donnie Brasco’ genre film, and on this podcast we break down the incredible structure and ingenuity of this remarkable script. Shaka also talks about collaborating with DP Sean Bobbitt (after Bradford Young had to step away form the project), how the 'Judas' team turned modern day Cleveland into the westside of Chicago of the late 60s, the music track the director played at every pitch meeting (much to Exec Prod Ryan Coogler's dismay), and actress Dominique Fishback's vital role in shaping the film's third act and the role of Deborah Johnson (now known as Akua Njeri). 'Judas and the Black Messiah' is streaming now on HBO Max.

EPISODE 90 - BRADFORD YOUNG - Cinematographer Team Deakins sits down with cinematographer Bradford Young for a great conversation. We talk about many things - among the topics are his belief that the cinematography must always serve the story, how he chooses his projects, what his process is on starting a film, his lens choices, and his desire to shoot it the way you want rather than fixing it in post. He shares his experiences on Arrival and that it was his first experience working with storyboards and also speaks about his work on Star Wars.

If you thought Pixar's resume couldn't get any more impressive, “Soul”—the studio's upcoming release about passion, music, and a soul-in-training—will prove you wrong. That's no small task. After all, Pixar already boasts a repertoire of celebrated works. “Toy Story”, “Monster's Inc.”, “Finding Nemo”, “The Incredibles”, “Cars”, and the list goes on. The team at Pixar has shown beyond doubt their ability to tell great stories and to do so year in and year out. Pixar's diverse blend of creative minds produces an authenticity that rings true to real life. Kemp Powers, the co-director of "Soul" and a New York City native, emphasized this authenticity in the context of the animated cityscape. To ensure a life-like portrayal of the city—which would have to pass the scrutiny of a long-time New York City commuter in Kemp Powers—the Pixar team brought in cinematographer Bradford Young as a lighting consultant. Beyond authenticity, it is these deeper statements that make "Soul" the movie Pixar has been building toward. By inspecting a struggling musician's life-purpose and connection to his true self—his soul—Pixar's latest aspires to a depth not often seen in animation. It takes chances in the same way "Inside Out" did in dealing with taboo emotion. It's daring in the same way "Coco" was in confronting death. So sure, in watching "Soul" when it's released on Christmas Day, you'll be engrossed in a story worthy of Pixar's record. But you'll also be challenged. You'll be made to think and feel, and you'll leave the film with a new perspective and, maybe, a new purpose. Think that's a tall order for Pixar? My conversation with Pete Docter, Kemp Powers and Dana Murray might convince you otherwise. "Soul" hits Disney+ December 25. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message

In 2017, Tribeca premiered the extended music video for Common’s “Letter to the Free,” directed by Bradford Young. After the screening, Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, and three time GRAMMY® winner Common sat down with author and filmmaker Nelson George to discuss “Letter to the Free,” Common’s work on Selma and 13th, and the power of music. Common is an artist, actor, activist and, most recently, a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his latest memoir Let Love Have The Last Word. With a storied career spanning three decades, his work has been recognized with numerous GRAMMY Awards®, as well as an Emmy® and an Academy Award® for the song "Glory" which he co-wrote and performed with John Legend. In Summer 2019, he released his new album Let Love, inspired by his work and experiences that came from writing his second memoir of the same name. Nelson George is an author and filmmaker who celebrates black culture in America. He was a producer and writer on the Netflix series The Get Down and directed the Lifetime movie The Real MVP. George's other directing credits include the theatrical documentary A Ballerina's Tale about Misty Copeland as well as docs for ESPN and VH1. He is serving as executive producer on Outlaws, a documentary series on Afeni and Tupac Shakur for the FX Network. He has written many non-fiction books on African-American life including Hip Hop America, The Death of Rhythm & Blues, and the current The Nelson George Mixtape on Pacific Books. He has a blog on Substack also titled The Nelson George Mixtape. His next novel, The Darkest Hearts, will be published by Akashic Books in August. George was born in Brooklyn, New York.

These two cinematographers discuss their creative changes over time.

These three industry veterans discuss the collaborative partnership between director, cinematographer and production designer.  They explore their careers and their life path since working together on the Sundance darling “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.”

This episode is filled with wonderful imagery of how man works in nature but never tries to alter it. Bradford makes a good point for the young filmmakers who joined into the Webinar to never be afraid of the challenge of working with limited resources to tell your story.

In an almost 2 hour "therapy" session, Bradford and Reed talk about their personal paths, what brought them to where they are now, how they manifest their individual artistic expression and most importantly what they want to see change moving forward personally and in this new landscape of filmmaking.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 78: Bradford Young, PART 2 Bradford Young continues our conversation from his busy household. One lesson he's learned is that the cinematographer's job is to make the director happy. Bradford was drawn to the science fiction film Arrival because it had an intimacy and a perspective about who we are that many sci-fi movies lack. Arrival takes us on a journey of discovery while keeping the human experience at the center of the film, with the camera following Louise, played by Amy Adams, the entire time. At first, Bradford found it difficult to find the visual language of the story, since it was so much about decoding the aliens' language. But his collaboration with Denis Villeneuve and the rest of the team makes Arrival feel cohesive and engaging. When Bradford was approached to shoot Solo: A Star Wars Story, he knew it would be a power move for his career, although it was uniquely challenging to work with four cameras plus huge action sequences and special effects. He also had to adjust to the turmoil of Lucasfilm's decision to fire directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who were replaced by director Ron Howard in the middle of the Solo shoot. But Bradford felt fortunate to be able to continue shooting Solo and to work with a seasoned and respected director like Ron Howard. Bradford was happy to work with director Ava DuVernay again on When They See Us, which was his first episodic series. He and DuVernay wanted to bring weight and care with their approach to the story of the Central Park Five, using minimal lighting, composed photographic shots and anamorphic lenses. For Bradford, When They See Us was a hard story to tell and they told it the best way they could. He feels that while films are powerful, they are also fleeting- sometimes it takes longer to tell and inform a story, and the injustices done to Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Antron McCray and Yusef Salaam was better served as a series.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 77: Bradford Young, PART 1 Oscar-nominated cinematographer Bradford Young feels every story has a personal connection to tell and translate through the language of images. As an African American, telling the story of Selma was very important and close to him. He'd heard the story of Dr. Martin Luther King's march from Selma and the fight for civil rights from his aunt and grandparents as a kid. He sees the essence of his existence coming from those struggles. Growing up, at first Bradford thought he'd go into the family mortuary business. But he always felt drawn to the arts and his father encouraged him to pursue it as a career. He went to Howard University to study journalism and soon switched to film. Bradford attended graduate school with director Dee Rees who hired him to shoot her film Pariah, which went to Sundance and won multiple awards at film festivals. But small independent films with black voices don't get a lot of mainstream attention, and he was told his reel didn't have enough “scope” to get bigger jobs. When seeking an agent, Bradford was told his talent for cinematography was seen as a “fluke.” He found he had to be resilient and continue to tell his own story through his work with diverse filmmakers. Ava DuVernay was familiar with his work and hired him to shoot her film Middle of Nowhere and then Selma, about the march from Selma to Montgomery to secure equal voting rights for African Americans in 1965. For Bradford, the cultural resonance of Selma was not the Oscar nomination, but that Ava DuVernay, a black woman director, was seen with respect and shown to be an important and powerful voice in Hollywood. Listen for Bradford Young Part 2- coming next week! He talks about Arrival, When They See Us, Solo: A Star Wars Story and much more.

Les soucis de Solo en projection, la VF dans l’animation ou encore les inquiétudes du monde du cinéma face à la mauvaise santé financière de Canal+, retour en podcast sur l’actualité des films et des réalisateurs.Outre son scénario faiblard et sa production catastrophique, Solo, le dernier né de l’univers Star Wars, est aussi difficile à voir. La photo, volontairement sombre, a du mal à passer dans les salles. Alors qui sont les fautifs ? Bradford Young, le directeur de la photographie qui n’a pas été suffisamment vigilant, ou les exploitants qui font des économies sur le matériel et les projectionnistes ? 14 ans après son premier chef d’oeuvre, Brad Bird revient avec un nouvel épisode des “Indestructibles”. Au doublage, un sacré casting : Amanda Lear, Gérard Lanvin, Louane... Si la VF est sûrement moins dérangeante dans l’animation que sur les autres films, ne perd t-on pas toujours quelque chose à la traduction ? Et en même temps, l’obsession de la VO n’est-elle pas juste un snobisme pour des films qui s’adressent surtout aux enfants ? Si les cinéphiles n’ont jamais été connus pour leur intérêt pour le football, bon nombre d’entre eux on réagit à la perte des droits de Canal+ sur la Ligue 1. Le manque à gagner pour la chaîne - qui est aussi un des acteur majeur du cinéma français - pourrait avoir un impact considérable sur l’industrie audiovisuelle française. Alors faut-il s’inquiéter ?Podcast animé par Thomas Rozec avec Anaïs Bordage, Rafik Djoumi, Julien Dupuy, David Honnorat et Perrine Quennesson.CRÉDITSEnregistré le 4 juin 2018 à l’Antenne (Paris 11eme).

And now a Monday edition of Midday at the Movies, our monthly look at what’s new and notable in Hollywood and throughout the film industry. Tom's joined in Studio A by our movie maven regulars: Ann Hornaday is the film critic for the Washington Post, and Jed Dietz is the founding director of the Maryland Film Festival. Today, they consider the sexual assault and rape allegations that have been leveled against legendary Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein by dozens of women over the past several months: Has public awareness of Mr. Weinstein's behavior altered the power dynamic for other major Hollywood producers and directors, and has it changed the work climate for the actors who depend on their favor? Then, Ann and Jed spotlight some of the interesting new films on the circuit this fall, including the recent collaboration by Selma director Bradford Young and Grammy Award-winning rap artist Common: two short films: Letter to the Free and Black America Again -- which have been finding audiences around the country and which showcased this past weekend at the Washington West Film Festival.
