    Coming Attractions: Trailer Night Summer 2018

    The summer film landscape is beginning with anticipated releases and a variety of blockbusters, sequels and special effects contenders too numerous to count. Preview the trailers of these films at the Washington, DC Film Society's twice-annual program, "COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT, SUMMER 2018." We’ll highlight the summer blockbusters, chock full of sequels and remakes, as well as indie faves designed to explore moviegoers’ range of emotions.

    DC Film Society Director Michael Kyrioglou announced the date for COMING ATTRACTIONS will be Wednesday, June 13, 2018. Join us at Landmark’s E Street Cinema (E Street between 10th and 11th Street, NW) from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. DC Film Critics extraordinaire Tim Gordon and Travis Hopson bring the movie buzz and lead discussion on the trailers. You, the audience, get to vote on the movies you want to see (or escape from); we’ll pass this information on to the studios.

    Tickets are only $3 for DC Film Socity Basic Members, FREE to Gold Members and $5.00 for all non-members. Your ticket includes fun promotional giveaways and posters, raffles of movie tickets and DVDs!.

    Visit the trailers page for a list of trailers to be shown.



    The Cinema Lounge

    The Cinema Lounge meets Monday, June 18, 2018 at 7:00pm. This month's topic is Film Music. Music has played an integral part of movies since their beginning. Silent films often featured a live musical accompaniment. When sound films arrived, scores by Max Steiner, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Morricone and Bernard Hermann became as iconic as the movies themselves. Today's film composers such as John Williams, Danny Elfman, Carter Burwell and Hans Zimmer carry on that tradition. Other films use a soundtrack instead of or in addition to a score. American Graffiti, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, and, more recently, Baby Driver are prime examples. Do you prefer a score, soundtrack, or combination? How is music used most effectively to underscore or enhance what we are seeing on screen?

    The Cinema Lounge, a film discussion group, meets the third Monday of every month (unless otherwise noted) at 7:00pm at
    Teaism in Penn Quarter, 400 8th St., NW in Washington, DC (closest Metro stop is Archives, also near Metro Center and Gallery Place). NOTE: We will meet in the downstairs area. You do not need to be a member of the Washington DC Film Society to attend. Cinema Lounge is moderated by Adam Spector, author of the DC Film Society's Adam's Rib column.



    Like Brothers

    By James McCaskill, DC Film Society Member

    On May 10, 2018 Smithsonian Associates held a book launch for Mark and Jay Duplass biography "Like Brothers." They were interviewed by NPR's Entertainment blog writer Linda Holmes. The following are extracts from their discussion.



    "Two dudes with a camera." Dave Itzkoff writes: "In their first book, Like Brothers, the indie filmmaker siblings Jay and Mark Duplass recount their unlikely path to Hollywood and tell readers how to follow suit." [New York Times]

    Linda Holmes: This is a book about the ungainly collaboration between two brothers. Why?
    Mark Duplass: We've heard a lot stranger. Why should we write this? We have something someone might find useful.
    Jay Duplass: We are workaholics but we have to balance work and family.

    Linda Holmes: You guys talk like you have been in therapy for twenty years.
    Mark Duplass: All the failures we've had along the way, ego has been beaten out of us.

    Linda Holmes: If it were called Two Sisters it would be about two pages long. You had incredibly loving parents.
    Mark Duplass: Indeed loving and supportive parents. Jay being four years older than me was willing to hang on, he was my god, my leader. A lot of little things compounded our lives. We grew up in a rigid Catholic suburb of New Orleans. Dad was the first in his family to go to college.
    Jay Duplass: I was the first to go away to college, went to UT Austin. I left that tight knit family, left a girl friend. Mark was 14. I was able to discover Austin. It was a hot bed of DIY film making.
    Mark Duplass: Got into producing. I helped those Austin film makers make cuts, find agents.
    Jay Duplass: We helped Sean Baker edit his film and get his film to Sundance. People are confused by what we do. We don't have products. We don't read scripts. Two guys make good films and their film comes into our orbit then we help them fet it into festivals.
    Mark Duplass: All the people in our company are collaborators. We aim now to get new talent: women, people of color. Before it was all white males. That's changing.
    Jay Duplass: In 2003 we made This is John. Tried to be Cohn brothers. We're not them. Shitty looking. Wrong format for Sundance. It was a simple three minute film of John working himself into a nervous breakdown recording a greeting on his answering machine. A common problem back then. Made that three minute film on budget, on time. We don't understand how it got into Sundance but it did. That film that was made for two dollars was sold for $6,000.

    Linda Holmes: Is the business of film changing?
    Jay Duplass: We have our little corner of he sandbox nmaking films for HBO, Netflex. They love us as we cost less.
    Mark Duplass: We encourage filmmakers to fail. You can only fly as high as you are willing to fall. Hollywood is looking for nice young filmmakers.

    Audience Question: What advice do you give young filmmakers?
    Jay Duplass: If you make a Smart Phone film like Tangerine (which was make on three iPhones) your first film will be about a C-. Show it to friends. Get feedback. Then reshoot. Do this time and again and you'll have a film ready for Sundance or SXSW.
    Mark Duplass: Allow yourself to fail and fail cheaply. Know what you are good at then get into film festivals. It is what you uniquely have to offer.

    The 16th AFI Docs Film Festival

    From the press release

    The AFI Docs Film Festival brings new documentaries to the Washington, DC area. The Festival has built a reputation for presenting compelling and engaging films that connect with audiences in theaters, and beyond. The Festival will run from June 13 through June 17, 2018. Now in its 16th year, the festival serves as a launch pad for independent documentaries, and affords international filmmakers access to US audiences. Called the "Pre-eminent US Documentary Fest" by Screen International, the "premier showcase for documentary films" by The Hollywood Reporter, and "Non-fiction Nirvana" by Variety, the festival shows the world's best new documentaries, outdoor screenings and performances, panel discussions and many special events. "The 2018 slate of films showcases the exceptional diversity of perspectives that the documentary art form invites audiences to explore," said Michael Lumpkin, Director, AFI Festivals. "While this year's festival takes us around and beyond the world, each film tells a story that, at its core, shares a moment of the human experience."

    The Opening Night flm is the world premiere of Personal Statement (Juliane Dressner and Edwin Martinez, 2018), about Brooklyn high school seniors, who lacking college guidance support, become college counselors to their schools It will be followed by Q&A with Juliane Dressner and Edwin Martinez. The Closing Night film is United Skates (Dyana Winkler and Tina Brown, 2018), about roller skating and the fight to save skating rinks, followed by a Q&A with Dyana Winkler and Tina Brown. The Centerpiece Screening is Above and Beyond: NASA's Journey to Tomorrow (Rory Kennedy, 2018). Other special screenings include Kinshasa Makambo (Dieudo Hamadi, 2018), about elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; the world premiere of The Cold Blue (Erik Nelson, 2018), Mr. Soul (Melissa Haizlip and Sam Pollard, 2018), and Witkin and Witkin (Trisha Ziff, 2017) about twin artists Joel-Peter and Jerome Witkin. "We are at a cultural crossroads where identity, race and personal agency are redefining what it is to be American in 2018," said Michael Lumpkin, Director, AFI Festivals. "With Personal Statement, United Skates and this year's Centerpiece and Special Screenings, AFI DOCS will continue its legacy of introducing new perspectives to audiences, while challenging longstanding conventions."

    This year's Charles Guggenheim Symposium Honoree is Steve James, known for Hoop Dreams (1994), Stevie (2002), The Interrupters (2011), Life Itself (2014) and Abacus: Small Enough to Jail (2016). An in-depth conversation with Steve James will include clips from his work and the first episode of his new Starz docuseries "America to Me," about how class and race affect social and economic mobility. The Symposium will be moderated by Michael Phillips, film critic of the Chicago Tribune.

    The AFI DOCS Forums present a variety of networking and professional development events and discussions for filmmakers and industry professionals. This year's forums includes presentations on the increasing impact of documentary shorts, the relationship between virtual reality and documentaries, trends in local and international storytelling and more. A discussion on "The Middle Ground," explores how documentaries are being used to reach and engage with those in the political center. "Documentary Capital" discusses documentary filmmaking in DC with local filmmakers, film offices, media outlets and nonprofit filmmaking support organizations. "The AFI DOCS Forum offers engaging and thought-provoking opportunities in addition to our slate of films," said Michael Lumpkin, Director, AFI Festivals. "We are excited to bring together filmmakers, the industry, thought leaders and attendees to discuss important trends in documentary filmmaking, share essential information and key resources with the field, and connect the local, national and international documentary communities." "Steve James is an incredible artist who uses storytelling to shed light on diverse communities that are often in crisis," said Michael Lumpkin, Director, AFI Festivals. "As one of the most admired documentary filmmakers of his generation, we are honored to celebrate him, his history of outstanding documentaries and his latest work."
