Greetings everyone, Below is a promo video of my latest feature-length documentary film Broken Stones about self recovery after the devastating Haiti quake of January 12th, 2010. Kind regards, Guetty help center | e-mail options | report spam Guetty1 has shared a video with you on YouTube: BrokenStones (PromoVideo).mov 2012 - Promo video for the upcoming feature-length documentary Broken Stones by Guetty Felin The oldest neighborhood of the city of Port-au-Prince, Quartier Cathédrale (Cathedral Quarter) is one of the most symbolic in the history of Haiti. It is in this very neighborhood that the city was founded in 1749 and it is also in the older wooden cathedral where Jean-Jacques Dessalines was crowned emperor of Haiti in 1804. Cathedral quarter was also the hardest hit by the terrifying earthquake on January 12th 2010, it is there that the bulk of the documentary Broken Stones was shot. © 2012 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066 Guetty Felin-Cohen 415-375-0670 www.bellemoonproductions.com Where Storytelling is Art!

[Videolib] For those of us who still actively acquire and / or use 16mm films
I am starting to accumulate a massive amount of 16mm titles...to the point now that I'm ending up with multiple prints of some. This is a good thing, as I'm always looking to own the best or most complete print possible, but does give me somewhat of a storage space crunch. Off the top of my head, I currently have: 3 prints of Man of Aran 3 prints of Gulliver's Travels (1937 Max Fleischer animated film) 3 prints of Battleship Potemkin (2 on 16mm, 1 on Super 8 (!!!)) 2 prints of October: Ten Days that Shook the World I am also pretty sure that I have multiples of Union Maids and The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter at this point, too. I don't know if this would work but I'd be willing to trade my duplicates for prints of films that I do not yet have, should anyone be looking for these. An interesting proposal?

Re: [Videolib] Early Friday question: Pre-Code film series
Lots to pick from. My faves would include Baby Face (1933) Directed by Alfred E. Green. Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, Donald Cook, Alphonse Ethier, Henry Kolker, Theresa Harris, Margaret Lindsay, Arthur Hohl, John Wayne. It's the age-old story of the girl so mistreated by men that she's determined to get revenge. Lilly (Baby Face) sleeps her way from basement speakeasy bartender, literally floor by floor, to the top floor of a New York office building. Bank submanager Jimmy McCoy finds her a job in the bank only to be cast aside as she hooks up with the bank's president. The Hays office recommended that the picture be pulled from the theaters for its violations of the production code. ...There was extensive correspondence between officials of the AMPP and Warner Bros. executives Darryl Zanuck and Jack L. Warner regarding various changes which were intended to make the film more acceptable to censor boards across the country. The main thrust of the changes was to attach an ending which showed Lily losing everything she had gained and returning to her hometown in order that viewers would not be tempted to believe that vice was rewarded. Originally the character of the cobbler professed a Nietzchian philosophy which was unacceptable under the production code. The character was changed to become instead the moral voice of the film, and was used to indicate that the character of Lily had been wrong to advance in the by using her body. Also cut were the most blantant references to the fact that Lily was being kept by men. [AFI Catalog] Blonde Venus (1932) Directed by Josef von Sternberg. Cast: Marlene Dietrich, Herbert Marshall, Cary Grant, Hattie McDaniel. The story of a woman who is torn between two men, her successful stage career and her child. Helen Faraday is a nightclub singer turned housewife, but when her husband needs money to have a life-saving operation, she decides to resume her career as a singer to raise money. She undergoes a chain of events that separate her from her husband and force her to make a choice between her lucrative singing career, and her role as a wife and mother. Herbert Marshall's glimpse of Marlene Dietrich's skinny-dip leads to marriage and toddler Dickie Moore, their happiness derailed when she must hit the streets to pay for hubbie?s radium poisoning treatments. The most outlandish of the Dietrich/von Sternberg pictures, highlighted by her gorilla-suited Hot Voodoo number, plus a lucrative affair with young Cary Grant. Bombshell(1933) Directed by Victor Fleming. Cast: Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Frank Morgan, Franchot Tone, Pat O'Brien, Una Merkel, Ted Healy. Screen siren Lola Burns is fed up with the scandalous stories her publicist, Space Hanlon puts out, the endless arguments on the sets of her films and her family's constant drain on her money and peace of mind. Her attempts to get married, adopt a baby and quit the business altogether are constantly thwarted, unbeknownst to her, by Space, who is secretly in love with her. 96 min. The Divorcee (1930) Directed by Robert Z. Leonard. Cast: Norma Shearer, Chester Morris, Conrad Nagel, Robert Montgomery Based on Ursula Parrott's spicy 1929 novel Ex-wife, the highly controversial The Divorcee was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture. Norma Shearer won for Best Actress as a woman who confronts the hypocrisy of the double standard after catching her husband in a compromising position and forcing him to confess his infidelities. Her solution to the problem: try to match him tryst for tryst. 82 min. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) Directed by Rouben Mamoulian. Cast: Fredric March, Miriam Hopkins. Famous version of the Stevenson masterpiece about a scientist who concocts a potion that releases the animal side of man. Restored version contains 17 minutes of previously censored material. Jason Joy (Production Code enforcer) wrote to Will Hays: 'Frankenstein is staying for four weeks and taking in big money at theatres which were about on the rocks . . . resentment is surely being built up. How could it be otherwise if children go to these pictures and have the jitters, followed by nightmares? I, for one, would hate to have my children see FRANKENSTEIN, JEKYLL, or the others and you probably feel the same way about Bill [Will Hays, Jr.]. Not only is there a future economic consideration, but maybe there is a real moral responsibility involved to which I wonder if we as individuals ought to lend our support.'

Still, as Thomas Doherty has contended, Horror films also offer insights into what filmmakers would do if given nearly total freedom. Censors were so concerned with limiting sex, crime and violence, that they completely neglected the horror genre. As long as monsters refrained from illicit sexual activity, respected the clergy, and maintained silence on

Baby Face with Barbara Stanwyck -- especially since the censored and uncensored versions are on the same DVD. And it's Barbara Stanwyck seducing a half dozen men. Do you really need another reason?!

Re: [Videolib] Early Friday question: Pre-Code film series
Michael! If you go to Amazon, and do a keyword search using he term "pre-code", you can find several dvd compilations available of early 1930 films. Quality (and "naughtiness") of the individual films offered differ considerably. Cheers, Anthony *** Anthony E.

Re: [Videolib] Early Friday question: Pre-Code film series
And just to reiterate -- Since that AFI catalog description was written on BABY FACE some years ago, the uncensored version was discovered by the great, great film archivist George Willeman (he and this discovery is featured in *Those Amazing Shadows*) at the LoC in 2004 and is on the DVD.

Re: [Videolib] Early Friday question: Pre-Code film series
Alas many of my favorites are not on DVD but there is a good selection of ones that are. Baby Face is probably the best but a personal favorite of mine is Skyscraper Souls also it goes across all genres and Goldiggers of 33 is a great pre-code musical, though 42nd Street contains one of the best pre code lines about Ginger Rogers character Anytime Annie in which another character says She only said No once, and then she didn't hear the question I would try to mix genre, comedies, dramas, musicals. Also at least one Lubitsch probably Trouble in Paradise or Design for Living but all his early 30s musicals are very pre code. For an early one I highly recommend Applause. There many great ones to choose from but do mix it up and FYI I don't really consider Wild Boys or Heroes for Sale pre-code films and wrote my thesis on them. They do contain significant elements but not the best for the them and Ecstasy realy does not count as I would not count any non American film as they were not working under the code.
