The Eyes Have It: Stanley Kubrick, Film
and the Uses of History
With Kubrick's death one year past us
now, a symposium will be held at Albion College in Michigan. I know that has little
to do with Indiana Film but I found out about this in the Sunday edition of the Star.
In Bonnie Britton's column, she mentions this event and gives a web addy of www.albion.edu/cishc/kubrick for more info.
However as of this writing, that link is dead, 404, flatline on the floor. My
guess is all the readers of her column overwhelmed the server up there in Michigan!
Anyway, here is the closest link I could find working; http://calender.albion.edu and this is the
current month's calender of events at Albion. Hopefully the throngs from this site
don't crash their server again! ;-)

24 Madison Photo
I got this image from Michael Heitz who was the still photographer on the
set of Madison last fall. Madison is a feature
about a small Ohio River town that rallies around a local underdog hydroplane racing team
taking on big corporate money race teams. It's a feel good movie that I would
describe as a Breaking Away on water. 8-) Speaking of which, the DP Jim Glennon,
shot that film too as well as Return of the Jedi. An interesting story about the
picture below; Jim Timperman operating the Panavision was allowed to peer through Jim
Glennon's camera years ago when he was a boy on the set of Breaking Away. Jim
Glennon is in the background wearing glasses and yours truly is getting focus marks for
Timperman operating B camera last days of the principle shooting. Click the picture
for an uncropped larger version.
