ellen harrington you spent twenty five years at the academy of motion picture arts and sciences in the middle of weinstein's world sort of speak how did you experience the weinstein affair and the ensuing need to debate well what i think is so fascinating is that what the journalists who discovered this story and got the women to go on record with the new york times and the the new yorker magazine did. was they broke through a cartel of silence and an actual system of intimidation that was incredibly pervasive and ironically harvey weinstein's attorney last week stated that his defense was that he didn't invent the casting couch and it's true the entire history of the industry of the movie industry and entertainment in general women are a product and generally men are the architects of what's being shouted and it's always unfortunately been this way ironically in the silent era there were more women directors and writers than there are now and so when you look at this says the statistics on who's going to tell the story is what i'm really hoping is that the normalization of that kind o

now one hundred years ago the bauhaus academy here in germany revolutionized art architecture and product design stripping away ornament and focusing on function and that bauhaus approach that started one hundred years ago in one nine hundred nineteen is still a huge influence today it's the inspiration for the architects turn fashion designer jennifer calm on. a minimalist fashion that is also unlike in. linear geometric concepts inspired by buildings like this one in berlin designed by powerhouse architect involved in appropriation jennifer brockman who studied architecture and fashion design combines both elements in her fashions for work has been influenced by bauhaus principles to try because a cavity of the designs the principles and the overall approach that allows you to create so many different variations. in the bauhaus architects essentially dismantled a structure and then put it back together again in a completely new way jennifer brockman does the same thing using various elements of classic clothing and. with us so what we have two components that are not just signed by scie

academy. which one is more important? i guess both. the principal. therein lies the nub of the oscars problem. artistic principles or commercial imperative, artw business. a lot of people are saying this year it is quite political. it is controversial, on the one hand, because the academy has been trying to change the programme. they have tried to make it shorter, three hours instead of the long four. trying to boost the ratings that have dropped. the politics, a number of the best picture films deal with racism in america. so we can expect some comments about that. but there is quite a diversity among the best films. we have also got a lesbian love triangle, for example, in the film the favourite. we have a spanish art film about 1970s mexico city in the mix. what is interesting, especially about these oscars, is the diversity of the best films on the fact that although we do have front—runners, we are not sure who could win. the field is open. diversity of films, no female directors nominated, though. barbara, many thanks. i know you will be monitoring the evening's it is. barbara plett usher on the red carpet in hollywood. good luck to all

being taken at this particular moment than anywhere else now controversies first the academy of motion picture arts and sciences that's the group that hands out the oscars they wanted to and a category best popular film a lot of people thought that was both condescending and pandering so they backed away from that then they decided that several awards including best cinematography and best editing would be given out during the commercial breaks not during the main broadcast a lot of people pointed out that things like cinematography and editing are what make movies movies so they had to back away from that to finally where is the host well kevin hart was supposed to be the host but he dropped out after several blatantly homophobic tweets and jokes from his past came out and apparently nobody else wanted the job barbara. well a few years ago there was also an outcry over the lack of diversity in the film and acting nominations that we see that person when it comes to the films themselves being nominated but what about the actual actors is that changed much this year. it has it has there's been a gre

arts editor will gompertz is in hollywood for the big night. the winner is cecil b demille... it's 1953 and the first televised oscars ceremony, the annual awards presented by the academyand sciences — which won't be winning any prizes for the way it has handled this year's tv show. i thank you. what with host kevin hart quitting after past homophobic tweets came to light. and then there was a botched attempt to create a best popular film category, followed by an ill—fated plan to bury the cinematography award in a tv adbreak. added to which, viewers are switching off in their millions. i think that the academy took some ill—considered decisions this year and i think that there will be a price to pay. and when the academy steps in it as badly as it did this year, and when it embarrasses itself so publicly, there are consequences, and i think you're going to see those consequences. what's the worst—case scenario? well, i think the worst case for the oscars would just be being irrelevant. this is it! the oscars are unlikely to sink without trace, but they could do with another titanic, a blockbuster movie and best film winner with an a—list cast, delivering a record—brea

miss us here is the money because the oscars broadcast generates a lot of money for the academy of motion picture arts and sciences those are the folks who actually choose who wins and who loses the oscars so the ratings have been dropping for a long time and there was some urgency in the academy about spicing up the broadcast so first they said let's come up with a new category for best popular film but that was met with a real outcry people thought it was pandering to the audience and sort of condescending so they quickly backtracked on that then they said in order to shorten the broadcast at least slightly they cut out the live in ward ceremony who are who are categorized for the twenty four categories including cinematography and editing and then a lot of people in the industry pointed out that cinematography and editing are basically what makes a motion picture a motion picture so that didn't go over well and they cut that out and they will now be allured it during the trial the broadcast itself and then there's the question of the host or lack thereof kevin hart was supposed to be involved with

federal corn is on her way to cologne to the academy of media arts she's come to me to film student beryl mughal. beryl who comes from kenya became well known after she was able to film circumcisions of boys and girls in her village in twenty ten she is a korea an ethnic group at home on lake victoria in kenya and tanzania. this is your first film the cuts ok are you afraid with all those people this kind of thing frightens me of a full or against circumcision. a lot of. in addition i had a very visionary do that for it by going to a circumcision. you can see that this boy here is going to be circumcised because he's wearing different clothes. and it was really really terrible for me. in flower and i did the filming with the women because my cameraman was not allowed to go there. it was so had for me to see those girls yeah and then they're standing there waiting to be cut it was. it was hard for. it was not is for me i could reach home immediately with him at my home the next that cry but then my mother asked me why did you decide to do something that difficult but i will not tell have t

i'm a licensed architect, and i taught building codes at the academy of art university. in addition to the current building codes referenced in the brief, i have researched the old state and city codes in effect at the time the original permit was approved in 1990. both codes in both time periods are unanimous, with zero tolerance. openings are not permitted in an exterior wall within 3 feet of the property line. confirming that the permit holder's wall in question is over the property line validates our complaint that the windows violate the building code. had d.b.i. had this correct information, the original 1990 permit would never have been issued. the old city code outlines the code for suspension or revocation of a permit. it reads, the superintendent may suspend or revoke a permit whenever the permit is issued on the basis of incorrect information. our current city code has similar language. clearly, in applying for the 1990 permit, incorrect information about the location of the lot line led to the erroneous approval of two openings in the lot line wall where open
