Deutche Kinemathek: Romy Schneider. Vienna – Berlin – Paris
Check out the website promoting the current exhibition of photographs following the career of screen legend, Romy Schneider (star of the upcoming Wolfe DVD release, MADCHEN IN UNIFORM). The exhibition documents the eventful career of Romy Schneider, who by the late 1950s no longer wanted to be known as the child star of the Sissi films, and by the 1970s was a celebrated star of French cinema. A large number of unknown photographs of Romy Schneider, her film partners, and family from the 1950s and 1960s will be on display from the collections of the Deutsche Kinemathek. The exhibition will also present loans from private individuals and institutions from France and Austria. An accompanying catalogue under the same title as the exhibition has been published by Henschel Verlag; edited by Daniela Sannwald and Peter Mänz. Focusing on selected exhibits, it traces the various stages of the actress’ career – as a daughter, rebel, international star and a devastated women – while also examining the media’s marketing and legendization of Romy Schneider.

White House Asks All Americans To Join Pakistan Relief Effort
from The White House Blog:
“Flooding in Pakistan: Join the Relief, Recovery and Reconstruction Effort
“This flooding has already affected more people than the Indian Ocean tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake combined,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said yesterday during an address to the United Nations. Over 20 million Pakistanis have been affected during this humanitarian crisis and as the rains relentlessly fall the risk of expanded flooding continues. Shortages in food, shelter, clean drinking water, and medical supplies face families across the region and as the water continues to rise, it may get worse before it gets better.
That is why the United States Government through the Department of State created the Pakistan Relief Fund for people like you to contribute money to the ongoing relief efforts in Pakistan. Though Secretary Clinton acknowledged that these are tough economic times and everyone has tight budgets, every dollar makes a difference in providing immediate relief and assistance to support a sustained recovery. Five dollars can buy 50 high energy bars providing desperately needed nutrition, $10 can provide a blanket for a mother or a child, and about $40 can buy material to shelter a family of four who has lost their home in the floods.
Americans can help the Pakistani people confront this challenge by donating $10 through their mobile phone by texting the word FLOOD to 27722. Your contribution will provide life sustaining items to help people in the flood-affected area.
President Obama is committed to continuing to assist the Government of Pakistan in their immediate response and being a partner in the long term recovery.”

“The B is for Bisexual” Plan B’s Boston Phoenix Review
“The B is for Bisexual,” is the headline of Peter Keough‘s adoring Boston Phoenix review of Marco Berger‘s fresh Argentine comedy-drama, PLAN B.
With the October 26th U.S. DVD release just announced this week from Wolfe, what better time to share Keough’s bite-size appreciation of the film:
“In this nuanced, Rohmer-like moral tale from Argentine director Marco Berger, Bruno (Manuel Vignau) is jealous of his ex-girlfriend’s new beau, Pablo (Lucas Ferraro). Bruno’s out to thwart the relationship — not by wooing Laura (Mercedes Quinteros) back (he’s already sleeping with her on the side), but by seducing the allegedly bisexual Pablo…. [Director] Berger is a painter, and he has an exquisite eye for color and composition: at times, the camera just settles on the abstract shapes of Buenos Aires buildings against the sky, creating a meditative canvas on which the feelings beneath the characters’ cool surfaces can seethe and curdle.”

Kathy Wolfe on the State of Lesbian Cinema | Cherry Grrl
Check out this great new in-depth interview with WolfeVideo.com founder Kathy Wolfe on CherryGrrl.com. Here’s an excerpt on one of Kathy’s most impassioned topics — online movie piracy and how it hurts our LGBT filmmakers:
“[CherryGrrl:] Are there purchasing trends that you see at Wolfe Video?
KW: What I’m really concerned about are non-purchasing trends. Sharing movies on the internet; even though that’s such a sweet and friendly thing to do, the filmmaker gets nothing. That’s a formula that does a lot of damage. We all need “to pay to play”…. I don’t want people to feel like they’re being bad; no one’s bad – they just aren’t connecting the dots. They need to understand that if everyone was willing to pay $3.99 for the movies they saw, we could sustain our filmmakers in a much stronger way than we currently are.”

8: THE MORMON PROPOSITION: Prepare to be Angry
Read this excerpt of AfterElton.com reviewer Danielle Riendeau‘s impassioned review of 8: THE MORMON PROPOSITION (and then get your copy of the DVD from Wolfe for just $14.95):
“8: The Mormon Proposition is almost certainly a film that will make you angry. That’s the point — it’s a documentary that unapologetically outlines the Mormon Church’s role in (as the film contends, orchestrating) the Proposition 8 campaign in California in 2008 — the infamous piece of legislation that banned gay marriage in the state. Milk screenwriter (and former Mormon) Dustin Lance Black narrates the story, which mixes the usual “talking heads” interviews with on-the-scene footage from the events at hand, making for an engaging, positively infuriating documentary experience.”
