(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hoje nós falaremos sobre Lois Weber, uma das primeiras diretoras da história do cinema. Na década de 1910, Lois Weber era considerada uma das mais importantes diretoras de cinema estadunidenses e foi a primeira mulher a dirigir um longa, a primeira a ser dona de um estúdio cinematográfico e a primeira (e por muitos anos única) a integrar o Sindicato dos Diretores nos EUA. Conversamos sobre Hypocrites (1915), Where Are My Children? (1916) e Discontent (1916). O programa é apresentado por Isabel Wittmann do Estante da Sala, Stephania Amaral do Cinematório e Instagram Discos da Ste, Michelle Henriques, do Leia Mulheres e Feminist Horror e Samantha Brasil do Delirium Nerd e Cineclube Delas.

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.
