“The photographic enthusiast likes to lure us into a darkened room in order to display his slides on a silver screen. Aided by the adaptability of the eye and by the borrowed light from the intense projector bulb, he can achieve those relationships in brightness that will make us dutifully admire the wonderful autumn tints he photographed on his latest trip. As soon as we look at a print of these photographs by day, the light seems to go out of them. It is one of the miracles of art that the same does not happen there.” LooksDoeArtLightSeemsHappensEyeOrderRoomsWonderfulAchieveMiraclePhotographScreensLikesIntenseAdmireSilverAutumnPrintDisplaySlidesBorrowedBrightnessAdaptabilityLureBulbsProjectors Author:Ernst Gombrich
“When the next generation of content is developed, we have to think in a totally different way. Think about it more symbolically. The main story that you see on the TV screen is maybe like the living room of a house. But there are various other rooms in this house that you will otherwise never see. But if you use the Internet, you find out what's in the attic. And if you use the cell phone, you find out what's on the first floor. And on another medium, you find out what's in the cellar.” IfsThinkingWayFirstsDifferentStoriesUseNextHouseRoomsGenerationsTvsInternetPhonesVariousScreensMediumsCellsDifferent WaysNext GenerationCell PhoneLiving RoomCellarsAttics Author:Cyriac Roeding
“Theatrical is fantastic. I don't think anything will ever replace the big dark room, the screen and the popcorn.

“I'll remember this to my grave. We all walked into a room to see the screen tests. The first screen test was Marion Hutton's. Then came Janis Paige [who ended up with a part in the film]. Then on the screen came Doris Day. I can only tell you, the screen just exploded. There was absolutely no question.

“One of the more popular activities was “Talk-O-Matic”. Five people at a time could write messages, and read each other's messages, on the same screen. Today, Internet chat rooms work on the same principle. One of the remarkable new features of this page was that you could log in with an invented name, and pretend you were anyone you wanted - any name, any age, any gender. One favorite trick was to log in using the name of someone else already logged into the page, simply to confuse everyone else.” PeopleWritingAgeTodayWantedNamesRoomsPrinciplesFiveInternetActivityMessagesPagesGenderScreensTricksFeaturesRemarkable Author:Guy Consolmagno
“If you are referring to the characters of The Room, each character has a different personality which you can see very clearly on the screen.

“For some reason at Sundance, more than other festivals that I'm aware of, you find filmmakers rushing to screen works that sometimes aren't completed. In my seven years of programming at Toronto, I'm not aware of any documentaries that went back for serious editing after their premiere - other than those presented as works-in-progress. But at Sundance every year there seems to be a few films that push the deadline so hard that they get taken back to the edit room afterwards.” YearsSometimesHardReasonSeemsFilmRoomsTakenProgressSeriousSevenScreensFilmmakerProgrammingEditingDocumentariesFestivalsSeven YearsEditsDeadlineRushingTorontoWork In ProgressPremieresSundance Author:Thom Powers
