NEW YORK - The film documentary "March of the
Penguins" and video iPods are among the
American Film Institute's "Moments of Significance"
during 2005.
The six noteworthy events, decided by AFI's 13-person
jury process, were determined to have had an impact
either positive or negative on the world of the
moving image.
Among the important changes in movies this year, AFI
said this week, were films reacting to 9/11 and the
new realities created in its wake.
Aside from films such as "Good Night, and Good Luck"
and "War of the Worlds," AFI cited "March of the
Penguins" and its emperor penguins for "its universal
message the need to be part of a community that
cares for each other."
Deemed noteworthy was the sagging popularity of the
moviegoing experience, as DVDs and video games helped
keep box-office numbers down.
The continuing consolidation of Hollywood studios was
also listed by AFI, as 2005 was a year in which both
DreamWorks and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer were bought by
larger corporations (Paramount and Sony Pictures,
respectively).
TV's migration to different platforms, such as video
iPods and cell phones, was said to be a breakthrough,
as was America Online's Internet coverage of the
global Live 8 benefit concerts.
The television reporting of Hurricane Katrina was also
credited for putting "a spotlight on the
contradictions between what officials were reporting
and the images viewers were seeing in their living
rooms."
