Hi THERE, I was on your website and noticed that you blog about women in cinema.
I wanted to make you aware that this June, Turner Classic Movies presents Race
& Hollywood: Asian Images in Film. This is a groundbreaking festival of 37
films examining the portrayal of Asians in classic movies. The festival is
co-hosted by Robert Osborne (TCM’s primetime host) and Dr. Peter X Feng, an
associate professor of film, ethnic and cultural studies at the University of
Delaware and expert on Asian American film.
Asian Images in Film will feature interviews from some of the most notable
Asian actors, actresses and directors in the industry including George Takei,
Wayne Wang, Ming Wen and documentarian Elaine Mae Woo. Films shown range from
the silent era (1899) through modern films (2001) and include the Dragon Seed,
Bridge to the Sun, Shanghai Express, Enter the Dragon and Joy Luck Club. CLICK HERE to watch and embed a sneak peek about Asian stereotypes in cinema:
For a full schedule, video clips, photo gallery, articles and more; go towww.tcm.com/aif. Race and Hollywood: Asian Images in Film premieres Tuesday, June 3rd at 8pm and will continue every Tuesday/Thursday in June on Turner Classic Movies.

Welcome back to the Movies By WomenVideo Podcast — this time number 11!
Exclusive interview with DIRECTOR MARY LAMBERT by PrettyScary.net’s Heidi Martinuzzi for the feature “14 WOMEN”. Lambert’s documentary feature highlights an era when, for the first time in United States history (228-year history of the legislative branch), 14 women rocked the US Senate. By witnessing the democratic process through the eyes of this very special group of Americans, she hopes to bring attention to a group of extraordinary women at a critical moment in our history, when a decade of momentous change could become what’s finally par for the course.
Mary Lambert, who has been directing acclaimed music videos, theatrical features and television films since 1982, has been able to gain extraordinary access to the Senators and their lives and staffs, thanks to a close relationship with her sister, Senator Blanche Lincoln, and producer, Nicole Boxer, who is the daughter of Senator Barbara Boxer.

You are all going to FLIP over this show — it really is spectacular….! The MoviesByWomen audio podcast #15: The Powerful Women of Early Hollywood is out and ready to be enjoyed!
Our hosts learn the real history of Hollywood that even top film schools are leaving out. Let’s get the true film history back into our world-view. This episode is a “don’t miss” episode for all filmmakers, historians, and everyone who loves a great story!
AS Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has stumbled during the last few months in the Democratic presidential race, a host of supporters have raised a hue and cry over sexism in coverage of the campaign. Clinton herself has complained about a “double standard” among media commentators — and she’s not just talking about MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, who regularly comments on his female guests’ appearance and compared Clinton to Nurse Ratched, the schemer in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
It’s true — the media have obsessed over Clinton’s pantsuits, her laugh, her steely demeanor, her eyes misting over in New Hampshire, things that you’d hardly imagine meriting a story if the candidate were Sen. Harry Reid. But if you think Clinton has been bedeviled by a double standard, wait till you see what women directors are up against in Hollywood. Read the rest of this entry »
Two days before the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, all is calm and hushed here in Utah. No, really. While Park City prepares to morph from sleepy ski town into hyper Hollywood annex for the world’s most overcrowded film festival, I’m headed up to the peaceful resort that houses Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute and plays host every January to eight Fellows, handpicked from a pool of more than 2,000 applicants, for the coveted five-day Sundance Screenwriters Lab. Heavy snow has fallen overnight, and the mountains are breathtaking as my driver — one of those serene originals (she owns an Army and Navy store and collects television remote controls) who materialize out of the hills every year to drive festival poobahs around for the fun of it — pulls up at the resort, pointing out a large yurt for which, she assures me brightly, advance booking is fiercely competitive. Sleepovers with total strangers are not my idea of a good time, so it comes as a relief when we drop my overnight bag in one of the tastefully pine-paneled, diligently eco-friendly cabins and head for a modest wooden building hung with gigantic icicles, just down a slippery slope from Redford’s office.
