Foxtel director of movies Peter Rose is stepping down next week as the pay TV giant restructures oversight of its movie division.
Rose will take on a consultancy role as the movies division is integrated into Foxtel Networks on September 28. The division will report to Ross Crowley, who is promoted to director of content and movies. The well regarded Rose joined Foxtel in November 2012 after Foxtel bought Showtime Australia, where he was CEO for 11 years, from Universal, Sony, Fox, Paramount and Liberty Global.
Foxtel subsequently slashed the licence fees for movies by 30 per cent-40 per cent, which in part reflected the diminishing value of feature films in this multi-platform era.
Formerly Foxtel Networks director of programming and channels, Crowley was promoted to the new role of director of content strategy and programming in July as part of a management restructure orchestrated by CEO Richard Freudenstein and executive director of television Brian Walsh.

Janice Watson/Dagmar Pecková/Peter Auty/Peter Rose/London Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra/Neeme Järvi Antonin Dvořák: Stabat Mater, Op. 58 (Lpo) Dvořák’s Stabat Mater was born out of personal tragedy; its inspiration, if that is really the right word in the circumstances, was the death of all three of the composer’s children. This beautiful, heartfelt masterpiece is not heard as frequently in concert as it should be, but has been very well served on recordings.
Before Järvi’s arrived, I had three: the classic 1976 Deutsche Grammophon recording by Rafael Kubelik, Giuseppe Sinopoli’s lush 2000 concert recording (also on Dg), and Telarc’s last recording of the choral conductor par excellence, Robert Shaw. All are superb, but Järvi offers such a different yet compelling take on the piece that this recording, from an October 9, 2010 concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall, can also be highly recommended.
One thing that sets it apart is that,...

It’s the 50th anniversary of the Ann Arbor Film Festival and they’re preparing an all-out blowout on March 27 to April 1 to celebrate! The fest is crammed to the gills with the latest and greatest in experimental and avant-garde film, in addition to a celebration of classic work from Ann Arbors past.
Filmmaker Bruce Baillie was there at the first Aaff — and numerous times since. He’s back this year with a major retrospective of his entire career that spans three separate programs. Baillie, who’ll be in attendance of course, will present a brand-new restored version of his epic pseudo-Western Quick Billy, plus screenings of his classic short movies such as Castro Street, Yellow Horse, Quixote, To Parsifal and more.

With the Ann Arbor Film Festival holding its 50th anniversary in 2012 on March 24 to April 1, the fest has already lined up a fantastic set of special programs to celebrate.
Previously, it has already been announced that underground film icon Bruce Baillie will be in attendance to screen three separate programs of his work that spans his fifty-plus year career. Baillie has had a long relationship with Aaff, initially screening his films at the fest’s inaugural edition in 1963.
Joining Baillie this year will be feminist filmmaking trailblazer, Barbara Hammer, who will host a retrospective of her own films on Wednesday, March 28 as part of Aaff’s Out Night. Aaff will also be honoring the late Robert Nelson, who just passed away in January, with a selection of his films curated by Mark Toscano, a close friend of Nelson’s and an archivist at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Mark Toscano, a preservationist at the Academy Film Archive, presents an evening of restored masterworks and rarities as part of the Museum of the Moving Image’s Avant-Garde Masters series.
After being closed for three years, Momi has recently reopened with a $67 million renovation that features a brand new 267-seat theater and a 68-seat screening room.
The films of this particular screening have been chosen by Toscano based on an inspiration from Keewatin Dewdney’s 1967 film The Maltese Cross Movement, which is included in the lineup. Dewdney’s film and the others “playfully explore many elemental and metaphorical aspects of celluloid cinema.”
A couple other highlights in the lineup, which is listed in full below, include an early experimental film by indie screenwriting expert J.J. Murphy, Sky Blue Water Light Sign,...

Going to start off with something a bit differently this week. Typically, I don’t share negative posts, but I found this article to be a horrendously resourced slam against the Atlanta Festival League, which puts on the Atlanta Horror Film Festival and the Atlanta Underground Film Festival. The majority of the piece is given over to a group of folks who end up sounding like a bunch of cranks with chips on their shoulders about something.
In my own experience, I find that most people who are so vociferously angry at an individual or an organization while also exhibiting an “I’ve never done anything wrong in my life” attitude are the most unreliable. Yet, this author finds that attitude to be unerringly persuasive. I guess that’s what happens when a story is tipped off initially by angry Tweets, which are slowly becoming a reliable source of information in modern journalism.

While I missed listing the April 10 “Regional Youth Program” — which was technically the opening night — below is the lineup for the rest of Experiments in Cinema v.5.1. that will run April 14-18 at several venues in Albuquerque, New Mexico, including the Guild Cinema.
This is four nights and one day of some of the best cutting edge experimental films and videos being made today. Each night — and the day — is jam-packed with over three hours or of unique and intriguing short films made by filmmakers such as Sylvia Schedelbauer, Vanessa Renwick, Robert Todd, Penny Lane and Kerry Laitala. All told, there will 50 films from 13 countries screening, including 12 World Premieres.
Although Experiments in Cinema is truly an international event, festival director Bryan Konefsky is placing a special emphasis on regional filmmaking and has invited other festival directors and film curators to showcase works from their particular region. Montse Badia will screen Spanish experimental video,...
