biography:
有着秀丽姿容和一头长发的吉高由里子是被星探在街头发现而进入演艺圈的。当时的她才读高中一年级，正在原宿逛街买东西。和吉高搭话的星探是位女性，她用亲切的态度缓解了小吉高的戒心，顺利地拿到了联系方式。从此，吉高由里子一边读书一边开展艺能活动，不时在广告片中露面。

　　吉高真正进入大众视野、为人们所关注是在2006年。这一年，她陆续在一些电视剧、电视片中登场，比如《时效警察》、《孩子们》等。而九月上映的电影《纪子的餐桌》令她一举名声大噪。吉高在片中饰演主人公的妹妹，她凭借电影处女作中的出色表现摘得了第28届横滨电影节最佳新人奖。要知道这部电影是两年前拍的，那时吉高才十六岁——正好和自己的角色同龄——也没有多少演戏的经验。

　　吉高小时候并没有想过有朝一日成为明星。她小学毕业作文的题目是《想做个魔法师》，她在文中写到：希望拥有别人没有的超能力，比如能在天上飞、能穿墙而过、能告诉别人他们不知道的事情……或许表演能力也是一种魔法，而吉高正是拥有这种力量的“魔法师”，有人说她是“兼具美貌与演技的新星”，有人说她是“天生的女演员”。

　　在漂亮地出道影坛后，吉高的星路走得一帆风顺，她接连出演了不少影视作品，08年，她主演了电影《夕阳下的少女》、主演了电视剧《和绀野一起玩吧》，并在阵容强大的热门日剧《明天的喜多善男》和《太阳与海的教室》中担任要角。而年中公映的《蛇舌》更是让吉高成为了媒体和影迷的焦点。此前多以天真可爱形象示人的吉高不仅要在这部涉及SM、身体改造等过激话题的影片中挑梁担任女主角，而且还要大胆挑战裸戏。在影片开拍前，吉高曾因交通事故导致颚骨骨折，在重症监护病房里呆了整整五天。这段经历让吉高深切体会到“通过疼痛活着的感觉才不断涌现”，由此完全理解了女主人公的心境。该片大获成功，而吉高也由此拿到了学院奖和蓝丝带奖的优秀新人头衔。

　　09年，吉高依然忙碌，她在野岛伸司的新作《爱情洗牌》中扮演企图自杀的美大学生，而她所参演的悬疑大作《重力小丑》也即将上映。

title: Twenty Cigarettes

overview: Celebrated for his minimal, monumental landscape studies, James Benning turns to the intimacy of the portrait in his latest film, TWENTY CIGARETTES. Referencing Warhol’s screen tests, 1930s Hollywood glamour, and the disappearing cigarette break, the film captures 20 of Benning’s friends (including filmmaker Sharon Lockhart, cultural theorist Dick Hebdige, and book editor Janet Jenkins) satiating their smoke cravings. Each shot’s length is determined by the time it takes each subject to smoke a cigarette, and over the course of the film a dynamic range of personalities emerges out of an array of physical characteristics, distinctive settings, and personal relationships to the camera.

title: Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer

overview: Thom Andersen's hour-long documentary adroitly combines biography, history, film theory, and philosophical reflection.

title: Reconversion

overview: With Reconversão (Reconversion), Thom Andersen opens another fascinating chapter of his ongoing investigation of architectural landscapes, their filmic representation, and their relation to history, by focusing on 17 buildings and projects by the often-controversial Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura—winner of the 2011 Pritzker Prize. Echoing Dziga Vertov’s concepts and Eadweard Muybridge’s techniques (shooting only one or two frames per second), Andersen masterfully brings forward what makes Souto de Moura an original: the incorporation of the passing of time into architectural designs, positing them within a history fraught with class struggle and societal changes, in a continuum with ruins—from which they may originate, and to which they will return—and with nature—which they frame, and by which they are framed.

The Farmingdale Sound Machine had created a video for the song using clips from Thom Andersen's film Los Angeles Plays Itself.

Robert Clampett

biography: Robert Emerson "Bob" Clampett was an American animator, producer, director, and puppeteer best known for his work on the Looney Tunes animated series from Warner Bros., and the television shows Time for Beany and Beany and Cecil. Clampett was born and raised not far from Hollywood, and early on expressed an interest in animation and puppetry. After leaving high school a few months shy of graduating in 1931, Clampett joined the team at Harman-Ising Productions and began working on the studio's newest short subjects, titled Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.

Camera Three

overview:
Camera Three is an American variety show devoted to the arts. It ran on CBS from January 22, 1956 to January 21, 1979, and moved to PBS in its final year to make way for the then-new CBS News Sunday Morning. The PBS version ran from October 4, 1979 to July 10, 1980.

Camera Three featured programs showcasing drama, ballet, art, music, anything involving fine arts.

One of its most notable presentations was a condensation of Marc Blitzstein's leftist opera The Cradle Will Rock. Presented on November 29, 1964, it was a dramatic demonstration of how far television had come since its early days, in its willingness to present a work that surely would have been banned from the airwaves during the era of Joseph McCarthy.

The New Adventures of Beany and Cecil

job: Original Series Creator

overview: The New Adventures of Beany and Cecil was a revival of Bob Clampett's Beany and Cecil. It was produced in 1988 by DIC Entertainment.

Beany and Cecil

job: Creator

overview: Beany and Cecil first appeared as a hand puppet TV show in the late 40's created by Bob Clampett. It later became an animated cartoon series under the Warner Brothers aegis. The puppet show, entitled Time for Beany, originally aired in 1949, with the animated series first appearing in Matty's Funday Funnies in 1959, later renamed Matty's Funnies with Beany and Cecil and finally Beany and Cecil in the USA. Another season was produced in 1988. In its original form of hand puppets, the show conveyed a greater sense of personal communication than did the animated series which followed. The hand puppets were extensively marketed and did well as a merchandising function.
