Village Voice Media Fellow

2007-01-23T12:12:00.000-05:00

Village Voice Media Fellowship Program The Village Voice Media fellowship program presents an unparalleled opportunity for young writers who wish to pursue a career in magazine-style journalism. The purpose of the program is to identify writers who have the potential to become full-time staff writers, but who, through no fault of their own, lack the experience to be hired into such positions. Writing fellowships are six-month jobs. They pay $500 per week, without benefits. Most fellows hired either have a master’s degree or at least a year of practical journalistic experience outside school. However, in some instances, fellows may be hired immediately after completing their bachelor’s degree. Village Voice Media fellowships are writing and reporting jobs. Our fellows don’t do busywork, compile listings, go for coffee, or complete “research” for more experienced writers. Instead, they work intensively with an experienced editor/mentor to learn the basics of long-form news and feature writing. During the six-month fellowship period, they produce two magazine-style cover stories, in addition to writing and reporting a handful of shorter pieces. Thefellowship program is a performance-based meritocracy. Fellows do not compete against each other for jobs, and there is no guaranteed wash-out rate. Instead, upon completion of their fellowship, fellows who have performed up to Village Voice Media standards are given first priority for any entry-level staff writing jobs available around the company. Since the Village Voice Media fellowship program began in 1999, 45 people have accepted and completed fellowships. Of that number, 30--or 66 percent--have been hired as staff writers.

Our goal is to deliver reports that really serve the audience and lure back viewers who say there's nothing on the news that matters to them anymore.

Self Publishing Book Fair

2006-08-14T17:33:00.000-04:00

Book Fair Opens Doors For Self Published When Brenda Piper and Caroline Rogers first started selling books, they set up their roving shop wherever they might find customers. Years later, they are not only selling books, they are also promoting the authors who write them. Piper and Rogers, the founders of C & B Books Distribution, help self published authors reach readers in a variety of ways, but the pair's signature event is the Queens Book Fair, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 19 in Jamaica's Rufus King Park, on Jamaica Avenue between 150th and 153rd streets. This year, more than 50 authors—all of whom are without publishing contracts—are expected to gather in the park to hawk their books to passerbys. Writers are coming from as far as Miami and Los Angeles to participate. While the book fair grows in popularity, Piper and Rogers are also gathering a roster of quality self published authors from all over the East Coast. For a nominal fee of $150, C & B helps authors with all the technical publishing details that would otherwise keep an underground book from reaching readers. "We know how hard it is for them to sell and promote their books," Piper said. The pair contacts bookstores, sets up signings and readings at local malls, and even helps authors design their own covers. They take the authors on tour and use their publicity skills to introduce new books to stores, particularly African American booksellers, from New York to Atlanta. "We write a lot of people and let them know what's coming out," Rogers said. The company also provides new authors with advice on avoiding unscrupulous printers and finding the right book fairs to enter. Piper and Rogers have a rigorous process for determining whether they will take on an author. First, the writer turns in an application with his or her text. The book is reviewed by any one of the six reviewers employed by the company. Only after the book gets a positive review will the company offer its publicity talents. In an effort to reach as many people as possible, the company features its authors on its Web site: www.cbbooksdistribution.com. Each of the company's 15 clients has a page on the site complete with a photo, a short biography, and descriptions of their books. Customers can buy the texts directly from the site. The company, which once ran two bookstores but is now operated from home, has already had several success stories. Piper said many former clients have moved on to deals at large publishing houses. "It's great to walk into Barnes and Noble and say `Hey, there goes my author,'" she said. The 2nd Annual Queens Bookfair will take place on Saturday, August 19 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Rufus King Park at the corner of Jamaica Avenue and 153rd Street. Authors interested in participating can call (718) 591 4525 or visit the Web site: www.queensbookfair.com.

Seeking: Bi-Lingual Spanish editor for Spiritual History Short DOC From: thestudio1101@yahoo.com
Manhattan based independent filmmaker looking for one who can devote some time. All expenses paid and fee for work is negotiable. This is a film with my personal take on what it means to be from Cuba but grow up in NYC and visit Cuba frequently. To complete this poetic piece, the story craves a more technically experienced editor than I am. Previous knowledge of the IFP market would be nice. Shot in Cuba and USA it is a story giving visibility to the spirit of the Cuban people and the smoke of the Cuban cigar that gives visibility to the spiritual connection with diverse cultures through all cycles of time. I need this rough cut for the IFP market and other funding consortiums. Shot on min-dv I am using the FCP software. Thank you very much, Marilyn Perez

And lastly, are there any San Francisco bay area producers on this site?

2006-04-19T15:04:00.000-04:00

CineWomen NY presents

From Short Story to Screenplay
A 6-Week Writing Workshop

As Brokeback Mountain proves, it's no accident that Francis Ford Coppola chose the short story as the preferred form for his literary magazine Zoetrope. The short story is ideal for adapting to screenplay format. Why? Limited cast and straightforward plot!
Workshop leader Jill Abbott draws on real-life examples to introduce the concept of adaptation.

This is a hands-on course for writers wishing to covert their own short stories into screenplays, or for those adapting another writer's story into screenplay form. It also offers writers of short stories an additional tool to improve their work by exploring a different way to approach storytelling. Limit 20.

DATES: Mondays, May 22 thru July 3
TIME: 7 -9 pm
LOCATION: World Wide Audio, 41 White Street, Suite B, NYC
Trains: 6, R, N, Q to Canal / A, C, E to Canal

Early Registration (by May 8): CWNY/NYWIFT/Students: $180; General
public: $250

Late Registration (after May 8): CWNY/NYWIFT/Students: $210; Public:
$300. Credit cards not accepted at the door.

Guarantee your spot by registering online:
http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?binid=1&bevaID=109022

Workshop Leader Jill Abbott
As a screenwriter, novelist and journalist, Jill Abbott has been publishing her work for 16 years. She has written a feature-length screenplay, a children's TV series and interned at "A Country Practice" a popular Australian TV series. Jill has been a regular columnist for Australia's only national daily, The Australian. Her essays, celebrity profiles and award-winning short stories have appeared in USA, Britain and Australian magazines and newspapers.

Included in the course:
- Short story structure, including: narrative unity; single point of view; secondary character development; themes embedded in actions; and why every word counts
- Story type and adaptation prospects: what works on screen and why
- Details of adaptation: description vs. dialogue, imagery vs. images
- Analysis of successful adaptations: Brokeback Mountain (story by E.
Annie Proulx), Total Recall (story by Phillip K. Dick), 2001 A Space Odyssey (story by Arthur C. Clarke)

NY African Film Festival

2006-04-10T14:51:00.000-04:00

13TH ANNUAL NEW YORK AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL SET TO LAUNCH
Citywide Cinematic Celebration to Run April 20 through May 29
NEW YORK (March 30, 2006)—The 13th Annual New York African Film Festival (NYAFF) will launch a citywide cinematic celebration on April 20 to satisfy New York’s love of quality and substantive independent cinema. The Festival will spotlight a wide array of U.S. premieres of internationally-acclaimed films, including Drum from director Zola Maseko, starring Taye Diggs, and the U.S. premiere of U-Carmen eKhayelitsha, an exquisite adaptation of Bizet’s opera "Carmen" that won the Berlin Film Festival’s Golden Bear Award, the opening night feature. The month-long event, co-presented by the African Film Festival, Inc. (AFF) and the Film Society of Lincoln Center, will highlight films about Africans facing rapid transition, their lives shaped by the effects of war, migration, HIV/AIDS, and subsequent xenophobia, reconciliation and displacement.
"From Egypt to South Africa, veteran filmmakers are using film to address the issues changing the face of the African continent today," said Mahen Bonetti, founder and executive director of the AFF. "Additionally, technology is empowering emerging filmmakers to add their voices to those telling Africa’s stories, and this year two-thirds of the directors are under 35."
The Festival kicks off with a panel discussion of prominent filmmakers and intellectuals from the African diaspora, with Dr. Marta Vega, director of New York’s Caribbean Cultural Center, and Jihan El-Tahri, director of House of Saud, among others, at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 20. The public is invited to partake in the discussion, which will focus on the Festival’s theme, "Africa in Transition –Today!" The Apollo is located at 253 W. 125th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues.
Some of the best of recent and classic African cinema will be shown at The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater, 165 W. 65th Street, Plaza Level, from April 26 through May 4. The Festival opens on Wednesday, April 26 with the U.S. premiere of South African director Mark Dornford-May’s U-Carmen eKhayelitsha, an operatic tour-de-force set in a South African township featuring the amazing raw talent of young local performers. Zola Maseko’s Drum, based on the legendary lives of South Africa’s Drum Magazine journalists and starring Taye Diggs, is the winner of FESPACO 2005’s Etalon d’Or de Yennenga Grand Prize and is AFF’s Centerpiece selection. Exploring this year’s theme of "Africa in Transition – Today!," films such as Khalo Matabane’s Conversations on a Sunday Afternoon, Taghreed Elsanhouri's All About Darfur, Jacqueline Kalimunda’s Homeland as well as Phybia Dlamini’s Outlaw Culture explore the personal narrative of displacement, experiences of xenophobia, alternative lifestyles and the homeward bound search for reconciliation.
A mid-career retrospective on maverick Cameroonian filmmaker Jean-Pierre Bekolo, whose experimental films have earned him an international reputation as an innovator in African film, will be presented. His most recent film, Les Saignantes (The Bloodettes), hailed as one of the first science fiction films to emerge from Africa, is one of three of his films that will be screened at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center.
The Festival will include two short programs. For the first time the NYAFF will present films by filmmakers from North Africa; "Emerging Voices from the Maghreb" will feature award-winning short films addressing the tensions between tradition and modernity, women’s struggle for equal opportunity and the integration of North African families into European cities and suburbs. In partnership with the New York LGBT Film Festival, AFF will present a program of short films from South Africa that explore issues of sexuality, gender, and politics in a country known for its progressive constitution as well as the violence and homophobia that continues to haunt the lives of many gay people.
"It's hard to believe that the idea for a program on African films that Mahen Bonetti approached us with back in 1989 has blossomed into a major showcase that's already thirteen years old," said Richard Peña, programming director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center. "This year's festival is in fact younger than ever – fresher, bolder, exploring little known areas of African experience such as the lives of gays and lesbians throughout Africa, and offering a well-deserved tribute to African cinema's master of irreverence, Jean-Pierre Bekolo."
The International Center of Photography (ICP) will host screenings highlighting the aesthetic of film as a part of its acclaimed exhibit "Snap Judgments," featuring the work of more than forty artists from across the African continent on May 12 and May 19; the ICP School is located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street. The Festival culminates May 26 through 29 with a series of films at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Rose Cinemas as part of its "Dance Africa 2006" program, which includes a tribute to renowned Cameroonian director Jean-Marie Teno and the Brooklyn premiere of the Burkina Faso film Delwende; BAM Rose Cinemas are located at 30 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn, between Ashland Place and St. Felix Street.
The film program at The Film Society of Lincoln Center is curated by Peña and the African Film Festival, Inc. (Mahen Bonetti, Aba Taylor, Muriel Placet-Kouassi, A. Naomi Jackson, Alonzo Speight and Wilson Sherwin). Thanks are due to the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, Putumayo, AFF board of directors, Joan Baffour, Luca Bonetti, Francoise Bouffault, Gabriel Donati, Kevin Duggan, Jacki Fischer, Belynda Hardin, Andrew Milne, Prerana Reddy, Mohamed Silla, Rene Taylor, Kojo Associates and the AFF volunteer team.
