An in-depth look at the history and pop cultural significance of ysgou.cc horror films.

It’s 2018—the necessity of discussions surrounding women filmmakers and Hollywood’s gender bias should have diminished by now. But within the first few moments of Half the Picture, it is abundantly clear that discrimination against women filmmakers remains a highly relevant story. This is a fundamental civil rights issue: women in the industry are not offered equal opportunities as compared to their male counterparts.
Gender-parity experts and academics discuss Hollywood’s dismal employment practices, and these conversations are woven between interviews with a wealth of prominent women directors (including Kasi Lemmons, Catherine Hardwicke, Penelope Spheeris, Ava DuVernay, and many others), telling their stories of breaking into a male-centered business. They confirm the double standards that still exist while eloquently outlining their career paths, their struggles, and their hopes for the future. First-time director Amy Adrion smartly deals with the inherent sexism in the industry and considers many of the stereotypes and biases that have prevented women from rising through the ranks. Amid the current political climate and recent cascade of sexual harassment allegations, the time to listen and act is now.

这部既富有娱乐性又充满感人的纪录片讲述了伦敦传奇的斯卡拉影院（Scala）的狂野内幕故事，时间跨度为1978年至1993年。在英国政治动荡的后朋克时期以及数字化前的撒切尔时代，斯卡拉影院以其每周不断变化的双重放映和整夜放映的电影节目，启发了一代人。其放映内容覆盖了超过4000部电影，从高艺术经典到性剖析、恐怖片、功夫片和LGBTQ+题材，应有尽有。斯卡拉影院的月度节目由一些受损的35毫米和16毫米胶片组成，影片包括帕索里尼、瓦莱里安·博罗维奇克、拉斯·梅耶、德里克·贾曼和大卫·林奇等人的作品，还有一些更进一步突破品味和常规的影片。这座破旧的巨型影厅，里面有常驻的猫咪，地下铁道的轰鸣声回荡其间，成为了斯卡拉影院声名狼藉的代名词。影院在经济衰退、技术变革以及家用视频的崛起等多重挑战下最终崩溃，加上毁灭性的诉讼案，斯卡拉影院走向终结……但它留下的遗产却不可磨灭！通过档案资料、震撼的电影片段和斯卡拉影院观众的证言，这些人后来成为了著名的电影制作人、音乐家、作家、艺术家、演员和活动家，影片展现了影院对年轻心灵的激励和为边缘群体创造社区感的巨大力量。

Is horror a man’s world? You might assume so – but you won’t be thinking that way for long once you investigate the vast contribution women have made to horror movies for well over a century. In 2020, award-winning Australian critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas released the definitive book on the subject: 1000 Women in Horror, 1895–2018, an encyclopaedic work celebrating the many women – filmmakers, actors, producers and technicians – who have shaped the genre since the moment cinema’s light first flickered.
