SUMMARY:Event - Illusions of Flight: Behind the Scenes of Hollywood's Aviation Classics (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To The Academy’s Illusions Of Flight: Behind The Scenes Of Hollywood’s Aviation Classics with special guests\, VES Founters Award-winner and Board member Craig Barron and Ben Burtt \nClick here to RSVP\n	Thursday\, August 14\, 2014 at 7:00PM\n	Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study\n	1313 Vine Street\, Los Angeles\, CA 90028\n	(Free parking off Homewood Avenue\, one block North of Fountain)\n	Click here for a map \nFrom the late 1920s through the 1950s\, Hollywood produced many great aviation-themed classics\, including Best Picture winner WINGS (1927)\, HELL’S ANGELS (1930)\, THE DAWN PATROL (1930)\, THE LOST SQUADRON (1932)\, FLYING TIGERS (1942)\, AIR FORCE (1943)\, THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO (1944)\, TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH (1949) and CHAIN LIGHTNING (1950). \nIn those early days\, stunt pilots flew their planes into the ground\, intrepid cameramen filmed from open cockpits\, special effects artists rigged full-scale and miniature planes for thrills and spills\, and unique mechanical and optical technology was invented to create the illusion of flying. In later decades\, BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969)\, THE RIGHT STUFF (1983) and TOP GUN (1986) built upon the original technical legacy\, while recent films such as THE AVIATOR (2004)\, AMELIA (2009) and RED TAILS (2012) have created similar flying action using completely new techniques. \nUsing newly unearthed stunt and crash footage collected by pioneering stunt pilot Dick Grace\, along with Warner Bros. and MGM outtakes and vintage sound recordings\, Craig Barron and Ben Burtt will relate the story of those early stunt fliers and filmmakers in ways never heard or seen before. See how mechanical gimbels\, rear projection and matte paintings expanded the creative possibilities of the genre\, and learn how sound effects were created and used to bring to life the visceral sensations of roaring engines and combat munitions. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO. He earned an Oscar® nomination for his work on Batman Returns and received an Oscar and a BAFTA for Visual Effects for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. \nBen Burtt’s first two Oscars® were Special Achievement Awards for the creation of the alien\, creature and robot voices featured in STAR WARS and for Sound Effects Editing for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. He has since earned Oscars for his work on E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE\, and nominations for RETURN OF THE JEDI\, WILLOW and WALL-E\, among others.

SUMMARY:Screening - LILAC TIME (Los Angeles)

As the flyers head off on a dangerous mission\, the pilot promises to return to his beloved. LILAC TIME was the first big aviation film released with a synchronized Vitaphone track. The film was shot silent\, but music and sound effects were added in post-production. The film paired major star Colleen Moore with rising leading man Gary Cooper\, fresh off his breakthrough role in Wings. Airplane crack-up master Dick Grace did some major stunts in the film\, and aerial footage shot for this film reappeared in the 1930 film THE DAWN PATROL. \n1928\, 100 minutes\, black and white\, 35mm | Directed by George Fitzmaurice; adaptation by Willis Goldbeck\, scenario by Carey Wilson\, based on the play by Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin; with Colleen Moore\, Gary Cooper\, Burr McIntosh\, George Cooper\, Cleve Moore\, Kathryn McGuire\, Eugenie Besserer. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO.

SUMMARY:Screening - TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To An Academy Screeing Of TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH with special guests\, VES Founters Award-winner and Board member Craig Barron and Ben Burtt \nClick here to RSVP\n	Saturday\, August 16\, 2014 at 7:00PM\n	Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study\n	1313 Vine Street\, Los Angeles\, CA 90028\n	(Free parking off Homewood Avenue\, one block North of Fountain)\n	Click here for a map \nBased on the true story of the 306th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force\, TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH offers a dramatic glimpse of the group of aviators who flew daylight bombing missions against Nazi Germany and occupied France during the early days of American involvement in World War II. Co-writer Beirne Lay\, Jr. brought his own wartime experiences to bear in the screenplay\, and the film was one of the first to present a more realistic view of the enormous difficulties faced by bomber crews during WWII. Instead of using extensive special effects to create the aviation action\, the filmmakers included combat footage that was actually filmed in the skies over Europe by U.S. Air Force and German Luftwaffe photographers. Legendary stunt pilot Paul Mantz crash-landed an actual B-17 bomber for the opening scene in the film. Dean Jagger received an Academy Award for Supporting Actor for his work in TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH\, which also won an Oscar for Sound Recording and was nominated for Best Picture. Star Gregory Peck received his fourth Best Actor nomination for his performance as the group’s dedicated leader. \n1949\, 133 minutes\, black and white\, 35mm | Directed by Henry King; written by Sy Bartlett and Beirne Lay\, Jr.\, based on their novel; with Gregory Peck\, Hugh Marlowe\, Gary Merrill\, Millard Mitchell\, Dean Jagger\, Robert Arthur\, Paul Stewart\, John Kellogg. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO. He earned an Oscar® nomination for his work on Batman Returns and received an Oscar and a BAFTA for Visual Effects for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. \nBen Burtt’s first two Oscars® were Special Achievement Awards for the creation of the alien\, creature and robot voices featured in STAR WARS and for Sound Effects Editing for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. He has since earned Oscars for his work on E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE\, and nominations for RETURN OF THE JEDI\, WILLOW and WALL-E\, among others.

SUMMARY:Screening - THE RIGHT STUFF (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To An Academy Screeing Of THE RIGHT STUFF with special guests\, VES Founters Award-winner and Board member Craig Barron and Ben Burtt \nClick here to RSVP\n	Sunday\, August 17\, 2014 at 7:00PM\n	Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study\n	1313 Vine Street\, Los Angeles\, CA 90028\n	(Free parking off Homewood Avenue\, one block North of Fountain)\n	Click here for a map \nBased on Tom Wolfe’s bestselling book\, director Philip Kaufman’s four-time Oscar-winning film follows the history of the military’s aeronautical research at Edwards Air Force Base\, led by Chuck Yeager\, and the struggles of the seven test pilots selected to be the astronauts of Project Mercury\, the first attempt at manned spaceflight by the United States. Made before computer generated imagery (CGI)\, the production started its visual effects sequences using conventional motion control cameras and technology that was developed for STAR WARS (1977). Kaufman rejected these early efforts as “too clean\, smooth and composed\,” however\, prompting visual effects supervisor Gary Gutierrez and his team to employ more unconventional techniques such as using a cross-bow catapult to hurl models of F-104s into a sky filled with “clouds” created by insecticide foggers. The blending of these kinetic techniques with full-scale mock-ups and stock footage allowed for exciting action sequences that were seamlessly integrated into a documentary style and resulted in a movie that is now considered by many to be the definitive film on test pilot aviation and early space exploration. \n1983\, 193 minutes\, color\, 35mm | Directed and written by Philip Kaufman\, based on the novel by Tom Wolfe; with Sam Shepard\, Scott Glenn\, Ed Harris\, Dennis Quaid\, Fred Ward\, Barbara Hershey\, Kim Stanley\, Veronica Cartwright. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO.

SUMMARY:Screening - BOYHOOD w/ Richard Linklater Q&A (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To A Screening Of IFC Films’ BOYHOOD Immediately followed by a Q&A with Writer/Director/Producer Richard Linklater and Patricia Arquette \nClick here to RSVP\n	Tuesday\, September 9\, 2014 at 6:00PM\n	The Landmark Theater\n	10850 West Pico Blvd. Los Angeles\, CA 90064\n	Click here for a map. \nPlease arrive at least 30 minutes early\, and no one will be admitted once the film has started. Screenings are overbooked to compensate for no-shows. Seating is limited and will be available on a first come\, first served basis. An RSVP does not guarantee seating. \n  \nStarring Ellar Coltrane\, Lorelei Linklater\, Patricia Arquette\, and Ethan Hawke \n  \nWritten and directed by Richard Linklater \n  \nProduced by Richard Linklater\, Cathleen Sutherland\, Jonathan Sehring\, and John Sloss \n  \nFilmed over 12 years with the same cast\, Richard Linklater’s BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane)\, who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha\, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent\, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s Yellow to Arcade Fire’s Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It’s impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey. \n  \nRun time: 164 minutes

SUMMARY:Kiwi Shorts V
DESCRIPTION:The New Zealand VES Section invites members and non-members to our fifth screening of Kiwi Shorts. \n(A special thanks to the New Zealand Film Commission for their continued support!) \nPlease join us to celebrate & enjoy 8 kiwi short films including a unique opportunity for a Q&A session with some of the film makers afterwards. \nAs always\, the event will be hosted at Camperdown Cinema\, if you require directions\, please let us know \nPlease RSVP below. \n\n\n		Queenie (director Paul Neason\, writers Sam Burt/Jeremy Liss)\n		Danny\, a university Geography tutor in his 30s\, embarks on a cutting edge academic project which has nothing to do with his ex-wife. \n		 \n\n		Blankets (director Louise Leitch\, writer Casey Whelan\, Producer Melissa Dodds)\n		What would you do for love?  Jack spends an afternoon alone in his room\, reliving the magic of a teenage love story and the tragic events that threaten to tear it apart. As he considers his world without his girl\, he is left questioning what it really means to do the right thing.\n		 \n\n		Warbrick (director/writers Meihana Durie & Peter Durie\, producer Mina Mathieson)\n		This short follows Joe Warbrick (Calvin Tuteao)\, captain of the New Zealand Natives rugby team\, as he tries to rouse his battle-weary players to head unto the breach once more\, for a test against England.   It’s midwinter during the trailblazing 1888-89 tour (17 months and a staggering 107 matches) that left a black jersey and silver fern legacy. In a changing room that resembles a casualty ward\, Warbrick draws breath and leads a stirring haka.   Made by brothers Pere and Meihana Durie\, Warbrick inspired the All Blacks the day before a 33-6 demolition of Australia in 2009.\n		 \n\n		Day Trip (director Zoe McIntosh\, writer Costa Botes/Bill Payne\, Producer Costa Botes/Gareth Moon)\n		A gang member wakes up one morning and decides he needs a day off. Inspired by a newspaper advertisement he impulsively decides to take a short ferry trip between islands.  With his tattooed face\, black leather clothing\, and prominent  gang patch\, the gangster is a fish out of water when he arrives in the idyllic small port town of Picton. The experience he has there will change his outlook on life forever.\n		 \n\n		Double Happy (director/writer Shahir Daud\, producers Shivali Gulab & Andrew Brettell)\n		This short film finds four 90s teenagers caught in the vicissitudes of growing up in Hutt Valley suburbia. Rising tensions during a day hanging out at the local park see misfit Rory ignite a cracker bag of cravings for belonging\, furtive sexual feelings\, violence\, racism and boredom. The combustive results of his misdirected teen spirit give the film’s title a grim irony. Fijian-born director Shahir Daud based the story loosely on his own teen experiences; Double Happy screened at Montreal Film Festival and was a Short of the Week website pick in May 2011\n		 \n\n		Ebony Society (writer/director Tammy Davis\, producers Ainsley Gardiner & Chelsea Winstanley)\n		Vinnie and his friend Jonah spend their nights on the streets of South Auckland tagging and stealing.  One night Vinnie has had enough. He tries to break away from his overbearing friend but is drawn back in when Jonah threatens and humiliates him.  When they break into a house and find themselves confronted with an unexpected situation it will be a test of their friendship\, forcing Vinnie to take the lead and show Jonah another way.\n		 \n\n		Snow in Paradise (director/writer Nikki Si’ulepa & Justine Simei-Barton\, producer Paul Simei-Barton)\n		A snapshot of life on a remote\, picturesque island in the south Pacific through the eyes of a young Polynesian girl.  As she ventures out on her daily routine she encounters the familiar faces of her family and the small community that she loves.  Like her\, they are all unsuspecting of the devastating power that lies beyond the ocean reef in a nuclear testing facility. In one moment her world will change forever.\n		 \n\n		Meathead (director/writer Sam Holst\, producer Desray Armstrong/Chelsea Winstanley)\n		In this award-winning short film Michael is a 17-year-old who gets the abattoir blues during his first day at ‘the works’. Fitting in turns out to be the least of Michael’s worries as young blood is welcomed on the line in the old fashioned way\, and rite of passage is interpreted literally to meaty effect. Meathead was filmed at the Wallace Meat plant in Waitoa. Based on the true story of a mate of his\, director Sam Holst’s debut short was selected for Cannes and won the Crystal Bear in the Generation (14plus) section of the 2012 Berlin Film Festival.\n
