Media Film Festival exhibits great films, nostalgia

By Kevin Tustin ktustin @21st-centurymedia. com @KevinTustin on Twitter

Beloved film critic Roger Ebert had a great saying about the length of a film: “No good movie is too long, and no bad movie is short enough.”

That was the statement I thought about before the start of the ninth Media Film Festival.

The way Ebert’s wonderful quote applies to the films shown at this year’s festival like this: can a short film be too long, or not long enough?

Comprised of over 40 short films ranging in length from two minutes to 30, could it be possible that even at such a minute length compared to a feature, do some stories overstay their welcome, and oth-

It turns out, yes.

That’s not to say that the artists, from Media to India, did not show off their good craftsmanship, but even on a small canvas, some work cannot fill the entirety of

their space with enough substance to keep you intrigued.

Short films have the distinction of generating snapshots of greatness, from the obscure to the hilarity. Similar to what Ebert said, no bland short film is too short,

and no great one is too long.

Cinephiles filled the Media Theater on a dreary this past April to experience stories from all over the world, including animated tales about sushi, to an Eastern European who made a name for himself covering disco hits on his balalaika, told by expert craftsman and local high school students.

Hosted by the Media Arts Council, the festival kicked off its two-day short film marathons with projects from their Media Youth Film Initiative students (MyFi).

Starting with the haunting and well-crafted “Welcome Home” and followed up by “Dream Big”, there is strong hope in the youngest of filmmakers to have a firm understanding of the language of film.

It gives me hope that not

every young person is obsessed with the loud, overly simplistic noise that plugs the theaters nowadays. With a combined 18 minutes of runtime, there was probably more thought and implementation of idea by the two MyFI students than any movie in the Marvel superhero world.

“Dream Big”, however, was the weakest film of the Friday night slate. The story of a young musician being pushed to greatness by an overbearing father isn’t new, yet the play on sound and images was pretty good for a young director. I could see his potential to be playful with sight and sound as he improves studying the craft.

The other 13 shorts were a pretty solid bunch and a great representation of comedy, drama and the “what the

f---?”

Of the best selections that night was a comedy called “Oh Crappy Day,” about a man named Jared who has to control his OCD in a “contaminated” world while on a blind date.

This film was a prime example of excellence in filmmaking.

At a very brisk 18 minutes, I felt the exact level of anxiety Jared felt when asked to touch a restaurant menu, or forced to shake someone’s hands His hand trembles as he tries to control the urge to constantly get up and wash it. By God did I feel glitchy when Jared had to touch something.

In only a few minutes I felt his OCD tendencies. But why?

I’ve never felt the need to compulsively stay germ free.

The directing and awkwardly honest and charming acting is why. And right up until the very end, I was completely enamored by the young daters because they were so sweet.

The trouble with a great short like “Oh Crappy Day” is you don’t want it to end, but how effective would it be if it were longer?

“Put Down” and “(Im) moral” were the other great laffers of the night. The former is a dark comedy about a man who kills people’s pets, and the latter is about a struggling actor who pretends to have a disability to get an acting job. It takes the right sense of humor to make deplorable acts funny, and these two prove it.

The mostly silent “The End of Blessings” and “Disco Zal” were other favorites.

The most interesting and otherworldly was “Ferdinand Knapp,” an official selection at the 2014 Venice Film Festival starring acclaimed French actor Dominique Pinon as an actor preparing for a new role, but severely blurring the lines between reality, the surreal, and everything in between.

This had to be the least favorite considering it got the lowest amount of applause from the crowd, but this was one of my top picks. It’s a crazy jumble of space and time and without a strong focus of what exactly is going on and how to keep the story in sync. It provided the least bit of explanation of all of the narratives, but it makes you think about our past and our triumphs before we know the end is near. A top notch production.

Saturday’s matinee slate was also very strong, and featured the first documentary of the festival: “Artspeak”.

This was the most self-indulgent and contradictive film I’ve seen all year.

Artist Bill Claps has a problem with the use of words to describe art, the artspeak,

shall we say, so he asks people to describe what contemporary art is. Claps appears to have a problem with people talking about art, but throws a camera in their face to get their opinions on it. Why bother if they’re always “incorrect” with how the speak about art? “Artspeak” seems like a project fueled by negative press Claps may have received for his own work, people either looking too much, or too little, into his pieces.

Art is subjective, and people can project onto it what they want. I didn’t like “Artspeak”, but who’s to say everyone else in the theater didn’t love it?

The highlight of the fest was “I’ve Just had a Dream,” a Spanish-language short that shows two young girls of different race having the same dream, but for one it’s an idea of hell, and to the other an idealic fantasy land of happiness. It was the same dreamed shown twice, but with the film flipped to be a mirror image of each other.

It was so beautiful to show that one idea can mean two different things to people, children or otherwise. Hopeful, political and socially confident, “I’ve Just had a Dream” was perfection.

When seeing movies at a festival, one usually bobs from theater to theater waiting in long lines and just leave the stories on the screen, but the Media Film Festival was different for me.

In the end, I was left with a sense of nostalgia, which was brought on by “Ferdinand Knapp”. It provided for me a perception of a by-gone era of small town movie theaters, and I don’t think that was the film’s purpose.

The black and white short played with elements about scandal and old fashion film noir, and I thought about what it must have been like to see movies in the theater in its heyday.

My mother used to tell me how she could go to the movies all day and grab snack for one dollar, if that, and it made me realize the charm of old movie houses. Let’s not even

mention the news reels, cartoon and serials they would show before the main feature.

As I watched the light pour onto the screen and show two characters chase each other on winding streets in a city, I thought of films like “The Third Man” and “Kiss Me Deadly”, noir icons. Then I saw, in my mind, those features playing at the Media Theater with billows of smoke from the patrons filling the auditorium, and handsomelydressed ushers taking the tickets.

Then, a beautiful naked woman in the film guides the main character through a tunnel and I thought about when sex began to be prominent in film, like “I am Curious (Yellow)” from 1968.

How would a film like “I am Curious (Yellow)” have played in Media back in the late-‘60s? Would it have been as controversial here as it was in Boston? At the time, musicals were still popular, although dwindling as top box office earners, and sex and violence took over. Not to mention the flower power liberation of such fare as “Easy Rider”.

Could sex and violence have been the end of the Media Theater, and its town’s wholesome values?

But there were sweeter gestures of those simpler times that I encountered at the fest.

Two rows ahead of me on Friday night were local TV personalities and film festival supporters Sue Serio and her husband Bill Vargus. His arm draped over her shoulders as her head rests on his shoulder. What happened to those harmless acts of affection at the movies?

Perhaps my mind wondered too much about what film and the Media Theater used to be, but that’s what the power of film it about. It removes us from reality and reason and let’s us think of times that made us happy, sad, angry and anything else.

The ninth Media Film Festival not only invited the community to see great films, it shows us what small, enriching communities are all about.

Media Theatre performers go on to success in many other venues

J. NELSON RIGBY Funeral Home was established in 1856 by James Rigby, a cabinet maker who saw a need for a funeral home in the town of Media. Since then a noble tradition of compassion and kindness in caring for families’ loved ones has been carried on by 5 generations of the Rigby family. Passed on from father to son, the responsibility to serve families with sympathy, dignity, and reverence has been our duty. We’ve stood by for over 160 years and while some things have changed, others remain the same. Our family is always there to serve your family, time and time again.

Many patrons have no idea who they are actually seeing on the Media Theatre stage, even though they may quickly glance at an actor’s bio in the playbill. And then there are those actors who create an indelible impression when seen here in a musical, but they leave Media and the surrounding region after the show ends its run — what happens to those talented singers and actors?

Interestingly, as passersby on State Street drive past the Media Theatre marquee or walk underneath it, the thought rarely occurs that — aside from instantly recognizable names like Ann Crumb, Justin Guarini, Andrea McArdle and Wanda Sykes — there are many actors you find regularly in television, film, and the Broadway stage who are entertaining thousands of people annually in the heart of Delaware County.

For instance, take a look at the cast of the Dolly Parton/Queen Latifah musical comedy film “Joyful Noise.” Right there on the big screen and now seen on millions of DVD players around the world sharing the scenes with two iconic female talents is none other than Andy Karl in the role of Caleb. He is now a name audiences around the USA are becoming very familiar with. Karl is very familiar with The Media Theatre and the Media Borough ever since he portrayed the leading “dual” role of “Jekyll and Hyde” in Frank Wildhorn’s musical version of that split personality tale in

2002 — right here on State Street.

Audiences reacted to Karl’s brilliant portrayal of Jekyll/Hyde by giving him standing ovations at each and every performance during curtain call. Following his memorable run here in 2002, Karl went on to appear in “Legally Blonde” on The Great White Way as the UPS Guy. He has also appeared in “Wicked” and Dolly Parton’s “Nine to Five” musical. He’s a twotime Tony nominee for his bravura performance in the short-lived (but wonderful) “Rocky” musical on Broadway and for his 2015 performance in “On The Twentieth Century” in which he shared the stage with Kristin Chenoweth.

Now that’s the type of talent you may not realize is on The Media Theatre stage.

Phillip Boykin is another Tony nominee audiences enjoy seeing. In The Media Theatre’s Show Boat four seasons ago, Boykin did more than bring the house down with his portrayal of Joe and his interpretation of the classic show tune “Ol’ Man River” — he actually shook the rafters with his booming, powerful baritone. Boykin graced the entire full page of The New York Times entertainment section as he appeared in the Broadway revival of “Porgy and Bess.” The New York Times raved about his interpretation of the role of Crown, in which he shared the stage with fourtime Tony-winning Broadway icon Audra McDonald.

Boykin received his first Tony nomination for his performance. He is now in another hit Broadway musical revival “On The Town.”

See what we’re getting at? You pass The Media Theatre dozens of times a year and perhaps don’t realize what is happening inside on the stage. Jesse Cline, artistic director for the theatre, certainly has quite a knack for casting.

The actors are members of the Actors Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States. These are not people who perform as a “hobby” — although there is nothing wrong with that, it’s a choice, just like the choice made to pursue a professional career and make a name for yourself doing what you love to do.

Others who have done well before, after or during appearing on Media’s only professional music theater stage are: • Ian Kahn, who delighted audiences five years ago as Henry Higgins in “My FairLady” (also directed by Cline). He went on to Broadway in “Enron: The Musical” and to living rooms across the country in the ABC hit “Castle.”

• Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Now there’s a name for you.

Cast by Cline when he was only 22 in a production of “Hello Dolly” as Barnaby and seen by over 8,000 people here in Media, this young man went on to several Emmy nominations and two SAG Award wins THEATRE » PAGE 9

for his work in the megapopular ABC situation comedy “Modern Family.”

He plays Mitchell Pritchett. (Those of us who were here at the time remember, when working with this young man years ago Jesse Cline stating quite matterof-factly, “This guy is a talent to watch. He is going to be big.” Sure enough, with “Modern Family” winning every award imaginable and being seen by millions of people weekly, those were words to carve into stone. And he was our Barnaby … just a kid then.)

So the next time you see the marquee and notice a show title that intrigues you, the next big Broadway star, film icon or award-winning television personality could be right here in Media, near you or perhaps dining at a table next to you here in

town or locally. Or perhaps someone who already has a long list of Broadway credits is currently performing here. It’s right here at The Media Theatre.
