“We must be brave enough to look truth in the face.” – Where Are My Children? (1916)This week, we return to the public domain vault for a full-length commentary track on Where Are My Children?, the provocative 1916 silent drama from Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley. As one of the earliest American films to tackle topics like birth control, abortion, and eugenics, it remains a landmark of progressive intent and moral complexity—albeit through a lens that's deeply of its time.Watch along with us as we break down the film's bold messaging, cultural context, and the pioneering role of Lois Weber in early Hollywood.

We devoted our 2024 September Special Subject to American silent film auteur Lois Weber. We discuss four films, the allegorical Hypocrites (1915), which created a sensation at the time with its full-frontal female nudity, and three films that showcase Weber's progressive Christian social vision, Where Are My Children? (1916), which confusedly tackles the subjects of birth control and abortion, and the masterpieces Shoes (1916) and The Blot (1921), dramas centered on the consciousness of women that deal respectively with working-class and genteel poverty.

This fifth edition of Film, Form, and Culture (Routledge, 2024) offers a lively introduction to both the formal and cultural aspects of film. With extensive analysis of films past and present, this textbook explores how films are constructed from part to whole: from the smallest unit of the shot to the way shots are edited together to create narrative. Robert P. Kolker and Marsha Gordon demystify the technical aspects of filmmaking and demonstrate how fiction and nonfiction films engage with culture. Over 265 images provide a visual index to the films and issues being discussed.

Comenzó su carrera como asistente y correctora de libretos en 1914. Bajo la tutela de la directora Lois Weber, y gracias a su pluma, Frances Marion se convirtió en referente y figura del cine estadounidense. Su maestría estaba en inventar historias con grandes finales y a medida de las estrellas de la gran pantalla. Se estima que Marion estuvo detrás de más de 300 guiones hollywoodenses.
We're kicking off our Hollywood by Decade series with the inception of filmmaking in the 1910s and 20s. Specifically, we'll be looking at director Lois Weber's film, Shoes. Released in 1916 at the height of Weber's power and popularity as one of the top filmmakers of the time, the film tackles poverty, prostitution, and gender pay inequity. Ebony pops in, and she and Anita are joined by Dr. Shelley Stamp, writer and professor of film and digital media at UC Santa Cruz, and the person who quite literally wrote the book on Lois Weber. Listen in for a fascinating discussion of early filmmaking.Links Mentioned:Books:Movies:Find Dr Shelley Stamp:twitter.com/StampShelleyhttps://people.ucsc.edu/~stamp/research/Shelley_Stamp/Home.htmlFind Ebony:twitter.com/ebonyasterFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq (every Thursday at 6:30pm PT)
Spring has sprung, Junkies and what better way to celebrate the warmer weather than by slipping into some comfortable shorts! That's right, it's short films week once again here on JFD. Up first, we're going old school. REALLY old school. As we take a look at one of the many short films by pioneering female filmmaker Lois Weber, Suspense from 1913. Written, directed and starring Weber, the groundbreaking short tells the tale of a home invasion and a husbands frantic race to save his wife. Next, we get an animation two-fer as we look at the brief but memorable Bambi Meets Godzilla from 1969 as well as another cult cartoon short from the same era Thank You, Mask Man based on a comedy routine from Lenny Bruce. And finally, we examine the pilot for TV show called Heat Vision & Jack, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black as a former astronaut who became super smart by flying to close to the sun. Also, his best friend (played by Owen Wilson) has been turned into a motorcycle. Together they have to outrun government agents and possibly aliens who are out to get them.All this plus Parker's adventures in legitimate theatre, Tom's Aussie recommendations, Hatless Jackson's Tuscon tips, roasting dead kung fu legends, questionable Gaspar Noe release dates and much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

This week, the Film Buds are joined by Friend of the Show Madelaine Davis as we continue to Highlight Women in Film for Women's History Month. For this episode, we're covering Women in History, specifically the early half of the 20th century.Our first filmmaker is Lois Weber and her controversial social-issue film Where Are My Children from 1916. Why is it controversial? Well, probably because it is about birth control and abortion. Guess you could say it is still controversial to this day. We'll discuss thematic elements of the film, Weber's career, and the legacy of the film.Second is Dorothy Arzner, another pioneering woman, and her showgirl-centric comedy Dance, Girl, Dance from 1940. Arzner and her sensibilities are wildly different, so beyond reviewing the film we'll discuss her legacy, compare the filmmakers, and also talk about the differences in when they were working.You can find Madelaine @MadelaineD_ on Twitter and @madelained_ on Instagram.

EPISODE 3 - SILENT MOVIESIn this episode of Women Vs Hollywood, Helen O'Hara is joined by Radha Vatsal, Shelley Stamp and Pamela Hutchinson, to discuss the very beginning of the film industry, and the women who found success in the Silent Era. Surprisingly, women often had better opportunities to make it in the movie business in the early 1900s than they would in later decades.

Vi pratar om kvinnliga regissörer på stumfilmstiden, och eftersom filmerna gärna var lite kortare då så snackar vi om tre filmer istället för de vanliga två (alla tre går att hitta på YouTube). Björn gjorde även en kortare intervju med filmexperten Shelley Stamp om HYPOCRITES-regissören Lois Weber och vilken roll hon spelade i filmhistorien.

Brigitte Paulowitz on Searching for Chaplin's Shoulder Arms • Shelley Stamp on Lois Weber's Sensation Seekers • Noah Isenberg on Billy Wilder, Newspaperman (76:57)
Frances Marion iniciou sua carreira como atriz e escrevia intertítulos e falas para personagens secundários. Com a parceria de Lois Weber, Marion conseguiu mostrar todo o seu talento: escreveu não apenas filmes dramáticos, que são considerados por muitos como "filmes femininos", mas outros que ultrapassavam as convenções de gênero. Vale lembrar que a roteirista ganhou dois Oscars por filmes repletos de personagens masculinos, durões e violentos: O presídio (1930) e O campeão (1932). Marion era tão talentosa, imaginativa e capaz de trazer a realidade diegética para o papel, que foi contratada para escrever mais de 400 filmes e tornou-se a roteirista mais bem paga em Hollywood entre as décadas de 1920 e 1930, incluindo homens e mulheres. Entre seus filmes mais famosos está The Love Night (1921), que foi dirigido, atuado e produzido por Mary Pickford.
Lois Weber foi uma das grandes diretoras da década de 1910 e era considerada como tal por uma dezena de colegas de profissão. Tanto que, em 1915, foi eleita prefeita da Universal Studios. Do estúdio, seus filmes eram os que mais faturavam. Weber sabia entender bem o que o público desejava ver nas telas. No filme Hypocrites (1915), a diretora astutamente inseriu uma mulher nua no contexto da narrativa, para que mais pessoas, curiosas, fossem assistir ao filme. Não é atoa que ela teve um estúdio próprio, com seu nome e tudo, sendo a primeira diretora a conseguir tal feito. Além disso, era a mulher mais bem paga da indústria na década de 1910; ganhava cerca de cinco mil dólares por semana. Como belo exemplo de sororidade, Weber também promovia o trabalho de outras mulheres. Foi com ela que Frances Marion começou a escrever falas para personagens secundários, e não apenas intertítulos sem locuções. Infelizmente, Weber faleceu em 1930, aos 60 anos. Foi esquecida após a sua morte, ainda que tenha sido tão famosa enquanto filmava.

We talk about Alice Guy-Blache who was the first female film director, Lois Weber who was one of the first female American filmmakers, Mary Pickford who became a Hollywood studio owner with United Artists, Pearl White who was an early female action star, Nell Shipman who made adventure films in the 1910s, and more.

¿Sabías que a comienzos del siglo pasado, miles de mujeres colaboraron en la creación de lo que hoy conocemos como Hollywood? Directoras, guionistas, montadoras, dobles de acción...Durante los siguientes episodios, vamos a contaros su historia.En esta primera entrega, analizamos el contexto social de la época y os hablamos de la directora más prestigiosa y mejor pagada de ese período: Lois Weber.
Lois Weber es un claro caso de como el machismo ha afectado a las mujeres en el cine, ella fue la primera mujer en rodar un largo metraje y llegó a ser la directora mejor pagada de Hollywood, sin embargo en el momento en el que el cine empezó a ser un negocio rentable las mujeres quedaron relegadas a puestos como directoras de vestuario, por ponerte un ejemplo. ¿No sirven las mujeres para hacer cine? Vaya que sirven, y esta semana te dejé sólo 5 ejemplos, pero hay bastantes, ¿qué te ha parecido?

YiFeng & Lily chat about this Lois Weber directorial feature; Recorded September 20th, 2019
Caspar chats about Suspense (1913) and Where Are My Children? (1916), two films by Lois Weber, with special guest Pamela Hutchinson.
As a silent-era director, Lois Weber created some early works of genre that still hold up surprisingly well by today's standards.
It's our final episode of the season and in response to a request from one of our listeners Andrew Peirce (www.thecurb.com), we discuss the powerful outback western Sweet Country. Directed by Warwick Thornton and inspired by the true events, the film is a brutal indictment of the colonial terrorism that forged modern Australia and the specific impact on Aboriginal existence, identity and culture. The film invokes the mythos of the Western in aesthetic terms yet it is also a revisionist project that doesn't shy away from a pointed critique of European expansion and its corollary: uncompromisingly violent, white masculinity. Beautiful and terrifying we would definitely recommend watching the film before coming to our discussion. We also reflect on our highlights of the season and Neil discuss new BFI releases of classic features and shorts by female filmmakers including Margaret Tait, Germain Dulac, Lois Weber, Dorothy Arzner and Alice Guy Blaché. Thanks for your continued support, and well be back in the autumn.

Mo tells the stories of three remarkable people who changed history - but whose names you've probably never heard. They are the pioneers before the pioneers.

One of the most critical ways that women can break the overwhelming male-controlled industry in Hollywood is acknowledging how central they have always been to its existence. UC Santa Cruz Professor Shelley Stamp has been on the forefront of that narrative, exploring how women dominated silent film culture both in terms of their moviegoing habits and the films they created. The author of Movie-Struck Girls and Lois Weber in Early Hollywood sits down with Peter to discuss the critical wave of film historiography that blossomed during her early career and the pre-internet research methods she used to create these and other texts, as well as what the future of the field may hold. Finally, they dive into Ida Lupino's directorial debut Not Wanted and look at both the similarities and differences between her and Lois Weber as the actor charted a new type of social problem film for the noir era. 0:00-3:59 Opening4:44-1:05:43 Deep Focus — Shelley Stamp1:06:48-1:10:01 Sponsorship Section1:12:06-1:26:23 Double Exposure — Not Wanted (Lupino)1:26:27-1:18:40 Close

Nestor Rodriguez, Simon Kaufman and Richard Corbin are joined once again by film and tv Director Rosemary Rodriguez (Acts of Worship, The Goodwife and much more) as she discusses the making of her new film project Silver Skies. The film is about an over 55 Apartment complex that's being sold to be converted into condo's. It's an ensemble piece starring George Hamilton (Love at first Bite, Zorro The Gay Blade, The Godfather Pt3), Valerie Perrine (Academy Award nominated Actress for her role in “Lenny”), Barbara Bain (Co-Star of the 60's-70's TV show “Mission Impossible”) and Alex Rocco (“The Godfather” and many more classic joints) The film deals with the interaction of the tenants of Silver Skies and the theme of being disposable or unimportant after you reach a certain age. We also discuss what it's like being female director and the influence women had in early Hollywood film making. We discuss Alice Guy Blache (The first female director in the motion-picture industry) and Lois Weber (an American silent film actress, screenwriter, producer, and director, who is considered the most important female director the American film industry has ever known.
