Dear all:
Just a quick reminder that the early-bird deadline for the upcoming Film
Librarians Conference 2019 will be closing *tomorrow, April 19, 2019 at 6
PM*.
The conference will be held at the Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford
Center for Motion Picture Study in Hollywood, CA on *May 15th to 17th, 2019*.
Please visit our website <http://libraryconference.oscars.org/> in order to
view our full schedule and register for the conference.
In addition to special screenings and tours, we are also pleased to
announce our keynote speakers for this year’s event:
*Larry Karaszewski*, screenwriter best known for his collaborations with
Scott Alexander. They created the hit television miniseries “American Crime
Story,” winning Emmy Awards® for the first two seasons, “The People v. O.J.
Simpson” and “The Assassination of Gianni Versace.” Their films include *Ed
Wood* (1994), *The People vs. Larry Flynt* (1996), *Man on the Moon *(1999),
*Auto Focus* (2002) and *Big Eyes* (2014). Their work will next be seen in
the upcoming Netflix release *Dolemite Is My Name!* Karaszewski represents
the Writers Branch on the Academy’s Board of Governors, holds the office of
vice president on the Board and serves as the chair of the Preservation and
History Committee.
Peabody Award-winning producers *The Kitchen Sisters*, Davia Nelson & Nikki
Silva, share stories of film archiving and preservation from their new NPR
series, “The Keepers” — stories of activist archivists, rogue librarians,
collectors, curators and historians. The Kitchen Sisters will play stories,
excerpts and works-in-progress including “Archive Fever: Henri Langlois and
the Cinémathèque Française,” “Agnès Varda: Keep Faith in Art,” “Wim
Wenders: The Entire Caboodle,” “Francis Coppola’s Film Libraries” and many
more. Along with sharing their chronicles, The Kitchen Sisters will be
gleaning stories from the community of film librarians in attendance.
*Tom Duffield* graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San
Luis Obisbo’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design only to
discover that he preferred film design and art direction to working as an
architect. He made his way up through the art department ranks by working
on such films as *Blade Runner* (1982), *The Lost Boys* (1987),
*Beetlejuice* (1988), *Edward Scissorhands* (1990), *Ed Wood* (1994), *The
Birdcage* (1996), *Men in Black* (1997), *The Ring* (2002) and *Hell or
High Water* (2016). Duffield is a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures
Arts and Sciences and was elected as a Production Design Branch governor in
2018.
Still photographer* Nicola Goode* holds an MFA from Otis College of Art and
Design and a BFA from Yale University. A member of the International
Cinematographers Guild and the Society of Motion Picture Still
Photographers, she has worked as a unit photographer on numerous feature
films and television productions beginning with “In Living Color.” Goode
approaches the surreal landscape of the film set like a street photographer
and finds cinematic moments off the set in her travels around the world.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in public and
private collections.
*Laura Karpman* is an award-winning composer and a champion for women in
music. With a doctorate from Juilliard, her body of work spans film,
television, concert halls, theater and video games. The four-time Emmy
winner’s film and television credits include *Black Nativity* (2013), *Paris
Can Wait* (2017), Francis Ford Coppola’s *The Cotton Club Encore* (2017),
*Step* (2017) and *Set It Up* (2018). In 2014, Karpman founded the Alliance
for Women Film Composers. In 2015, she became the fifth female composer
inducted into the Music Branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and
Sciences, and one year later, became the first woman to be elected as a
governor of that branch.
*Isis Mussenden* graduated from New York’s Parson School of Design with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in fashion design. She began her career at
Joseph Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival before transitioning to
designing costumes for film. Her credits encompass a wide range of genres
and time periods, including *The Waterdance* (1992), *Ghost in the Machine*
(1993), *Matinee* (1993), *American Psycho* (2000), *Jay and Silent Bob
Strike Back* (2001), *Shrek* (2001), *Shrek 2* (2004), *The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe* (2005), *The Wolverine*
(2013), *On the Basis of Sex* (2018) and *Velvet Buzzsaw* (2019).
*Gypsy Taylor* received a Bachelor of Design degree from the National
Institute of Dramatic Art in 1994. She worked as Catherine Martin’s costume
design assistant and illustrator on the Baz Luhrmann films *Chanel No. 5:
The Film* (2004) and *Australia* (2008). Taylor’s career includes work as
both a designer and illustrator on films such as *The Wolverine* (2013), *The
Babadook* (2014), *Wild Oats* (2016), *Gods of Egypt* (2016), *Alien:
Covenant* (2017), *Mortal Engines* (2018) and *Mercy Black* (2019) and the
televisions series “Me & My Monsters,” “Low Life” and “Oscar’s Hotel for
Fantastical Creatures.”
*Merie Weismiller Wallace* is a unit still photographer based in Los
Angeles with a Masters degree from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.
Currently the president of the Society of Motion Picture Still
Photographers, Wallace has worked on many of Hollywood’s celebrated
classics, with multiple nominations for the International Cinematographers
Guild and Society of Camera Operators Unit Photography Awards. Working with
an eye for the magic in the moment, Wallace is passionate about the
