Notes On A Screen: Madison Area Film, TV, and Gaming News 2008: Week 20
Submitted by Jesse Russell on Thu, 2008-05-08 15:45. Arts | Film | Television | Gaming|
Johnny Depp wasn't in town for this shoot of what has come to be known simply as P.E., but Christian Bale and Billy Crudup did strut up the steps of the Capitol building as Madison doubled for Hoover's fledgling FBI headquarters. Bale is playing Melvin Purvis, who was Dillinger's pursuer, while Crudup is portraying the young Hoover. The results are photos and coverage galore. Click here to read more. |
Public Enemies hits the Capitol
Submitted by Phil on Mon, 2008-05-05 16:37. Arts | Film|
Take a trip back to Depression-era gangster times, when the Wisconsin state capitol was ostensibly located in Washington, D.C., a privileged few apparently had plastic water bottles and modern film and lighting gear, and everything was a kind of warm black and white tint. A total of 14 pics from the filming of Public Enemies shot from the Pickney and East Wash side of the Capitol: Click here to read more. |

Submitted by michael donnelly on Thu, 2008-04-24 13:45. Arts | Film|
Last Saturday, several contributers to Dane101 made a movie for the Spring 2008 Wis-kino Kabaret. Since that was also the opening day of the Dane County Farmers' Market, we wanted to document that event.
Part of the Kabaret challenge was to work a secret ingredient into the film; in our case, it was a prop. Click here to read more. |
Dane101 Joins in Wis-kino's Spring Kabaret
Submitted by michael donnelly on Sat, 2008-04-19 23:36. Arts | Film|
Several Dane101 contributers decided the best way to understand the Wis-kino experience was to participate in it. On Friday evening, Adam Schabow made it to the kickoff meeting for Wis-kino's Spring Kabaret. In a departure from prior years, instead of a shared theme for all the films each team got their own challenge prop. Click here to read more. |

WFF2008 Encores: "Loose Cannons" Packs a Punch
Submitted by Esther on Thu, 2008-04-17 10:23. Arts | Film | WisFilmFest2008|
Loose Cannons: Campus Security tells the story of a miscreant gang of student campus security officers at a local University startlingly similar to UW-Madison… Protecting and serving become a bit of a problem for them when the football team’s playbook is stolen and their beloved mascot “Muley” is murdered in suspicious correlation with the university’s impending homecoming celebration. The plot thickens; these atrocious acts have not been set in motion by the rival school, but by an embittered domestic foe. Spencer Huntly. One of the very students expelled through the valiant actions of our bubbly campus-cop crew has come back to reek vengeance and reap reward with foul play, a nearly silent sidekick played by the director, and a new gang of thugs appropriately dubbed as the “Freshman 15”. The villain’s treachery can’t be contained by typical human angst; his vile plans, while immature in nature, are obscenely sociopathic. Yet, our “loose cannons” have no fear; their bravery delivers them through even the most elaborate fights and haphazard gun battles with alarming grace. Click here to read more. |

WFF2008 Review: "The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins"
Submitted by Bessie Cherry on Wed, 2008-04-09 12:24. Arts | Film | WisFilmFest2008|
New Zealand filmmaker Pietra Brettkelly is in Rumbeck, a village in the wartorn region of South Sudan, to work on a documentary about a de-miner (yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like: someone who removes explosive mines for a living). One night near the campfire at the Westerner-friendly NGO camp where Brettkelly’s staying, she encounters a woman (Vanessa Beecroft, the film’s subject) talking about how she’s donating breast milk to twins in the village, and ultimately hopes to adopt the babies. At the time, Brettkelly was working on a project about international adoption, and asks if she could film Beecroft’s process, having no clue that Beecroft herself is an internationally acclaimed, experimental performance artist whose complex psyche would prove a far more interesting study, especially in contrast to the simplicity of their Sudanese surroundings.
