SUMMARY:Hollywood's Golden Age of Self Censorship
DESCRIPTION:From the 1930s to the 1960s\, Hollywood censored itself. The Production Code is often remembered as a quaint document that ensured married couples slept in separate beds on screen. But the Production Code was a more complex contract between Hollywood and its diverse global audience. It led filmmakers to create a code for representing sex\, violence\, and extreme politics. And it helped Hollywood navigate the depression\, the rise of Nazism\, Soviet communism\, World War II\, the Cold War\, and the Sixties. In late 1960s\, Hollywood could no longer make films to address one global audience\, and the industry moved from the Production Code to the Rating System. The code ended\, but in many ways\, the visual language created by the Production Code still informs the way stories are told on screen. \nPeter Decherney is Professor of Cinema & Media Studies and Faculty Director of the Online Learning Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a secondary appointment at the Annenberg School for Communication and an affiliation with the Center for Technology\, Innovation\, and Competition at Penn Law School. \nHe is an award-winning documentary and virtual reality filmmaker\, who has shot films in Africa\, Asia\, and the U.S. His virtual reality docuseries. “The Heart of Puerto Rico\,” about artists in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria (co-directed with Jean Lee) won the Best VR Film at the AT&T Film Awards. And his documentary\, “Dreaming of Jerusalem” (co-directed with Sosena Solomon)\, about the Jewish Community in Gondar\, Ethiopia was a Discovery+ original. \nHe is the author or editor of six books including Hollywood’s Copyright Wars: From Edison to the Internet and Hollywood: A Very Short Introduction. Prof. Decherney has also written for The New York Times\, Forbes\, Inside Higher Ed\, and other publications. \nRegister for Hollywood’s Self Censorship here \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Harlem Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Harlem flourished in the 1920s\, energized by the Great Migration of African Americans from the South who were looking for jobs in New York City. The first generation of photographers\, painters\, and muralists tapped into new calls for expressing racial pride and optimism; the second worked through the Depression and World War II\, carrying on this inspiration and deepening the depictions. This is the story of the art of the Harlem Renaissance\, which is still influencing artists today. \nAs we embark on a journey through the art of the Harlem Renaissance\, our virtual showcase will include: \n• A look at the diverse styles of artists working in Harlem from the 1920s to 1940s\n• An overview of two generations of Harlem Renaissance artists — some well-known\, others less familiar\n• An understanding of how contemporary African American artists stand on the shoulders of these breakthrough artists \nRegister here for Harlem Renaissance. \nRegistration Ends: 2/14/2022 at 12:00 PM \nContact Number: 914-422-6922\nPresenter: Rena Tobey
