Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .

neg: Tender Mercies Tender Mercies is a 1983 American drama film directed by Bruce Beresford .

Robert Duvall plays the role of Mac ; the supporting cast includes Tess Harper , Betty Buckley , Wilford Brimley , Ellen Barkin and Allan Hubbard .   Financed by EMI Films , Tender Mercies was shot largely in Waxahachie , Texas . The script was rejected by several American directors before the Australian Beresford accepted it . Duvall , who sang his own songs in the film , drove more than 600 mi throughout the state , tape recording local accents and playing in country music bands to prepare for the role . He and Beresford repeatedly clashed during production , at one point prompting the director to walk off the set and reportedly consider quitting the film .   The film encompasses several different themes , including the importance of love and family , the possibility of spiritual resurrection amid death , and the concept of redemption through Mac Sledge 's conversion to Christianity . Following poor test screening results , distributor Universal Pictures made little effort to publicize Tender Mercies , which Duvall attributed to the studio 's lack of understanding of country music .   The film was released on March 4 , 1983 , in a limited number of theaters . Although unsuccessful at the box office , it was critically acclaimed and earned five Academy Award nominations , including one for Best Picture .

THE INSANITY DRAWINGS -RSB-   `` To really see art you first must detach from it , that 's what it all about . A painting is like music , you should not view , you should listen . ''   Van Herwijnen was born in Delft and grew up in the Jordaan ( Amsterdam ) . He was different from the rest of the family . At nine he went to the Rijksmuseum a tile table for copying , his master had given him a box of paints . Concerts and museums hold him up as he began his eleventh year to earn a living . When he was 21 he was clear : `` Suddenly I knew I could see '' . Then I gained consciousness only . Before that time I had looked into the world through the eyes of a child . But then I knew who I was and what to do . I started in the Rijksmuseum , because I knew the road . Every day I sat there and it was like I had always painted . ''   He wants no classes , no academy . He represents himself by copying the old masters . In 1912 he goes to Paris without a penny . Half starved he comes back .  He begins to draw people . Poor models of the street and blind and deaf . With the insanity life-size drawings from 1919 he established his name . He works hard on these drawings and identifies himself with his models , he is exhausted . The craziness with which he has handled this matter radiates from each drawing : heavy black lines and contours of a figure on a chair in an empty room . Van Herwijnen is now supported by many prominent figures , among which Prof. RN Roland Holst .   He went to France with his family and lived from 1921 to 1923 in Collioure . The paintings of Collioure feature the clean lines of the drawings in which the paint is filled with lots of blue and purple . Then follows a gloomy period when his wife leaves him . Paintings reflect his depressive state and are very dark . When he goes to Florence , his work is lightened . `` The conquest of light '' in all newspapers and magazines celebrated with superlatives . `` Van Herwijnen in the front ranks of contemporary painters came . ''  In the autumn of 1934 , he moved a house in the new studio complex on the Summer Dijkstraat . Van Herwijnen married again and moved to Bergen in 1945 .  His work is still cheering `` A picture of joy - great development of a strong talent - refined spirituality - colored music - this country equaled by no other . ''  Van Herwijnen is suspicious . His work is than heavier , sometimes lighter . A pattern of doubt in his entire oeuvre can be seen . In its lightest years he painted many flowers .   He sometimes tries to explain : `` I paint the light . Not the physical light , a light that casts shadows . I paint the light in the shade . ''   The special treatment of his paint and his brush was repeatedly emphasized . One critic in 1937 writes : `` Perhaps our most gifted painter of today , is usually attracted to very simple matters .  Twenty years later , another note : `` There is never a dead spot , every square inch of a living painting , as if the light is gently shaking . ''   Lunatics  In 1919 the artist signed a series of life-size portraits of the insane from the Utrecht William Arntz Foundation . In his own life he would himself have to deal with mental breakdowns . Sometimes he went to the utmost of his ability . Shortly after World War II Van Herwijnen painted a series of portraits of dead .   Colorful and light - powerful and sombre  The born in Delft Van Herwijnen grew up as child in Amsterdam .

After a psychological crisis , the self-taught artist Jan van Herwijnen ( 1889 -- 1965 ) had created drawings of psychiatric patients in the William Arntz Foundation in Utrecht . He quickly gets the interest from treating physicians and teachers of the medical faculty . The ` insanity drawings ' in 1920 are exhibited .

neg: Jean d'Outremeuse Jean d'Outremeuse or Jean des Preis ( Liège , 1338-1400 ) was a writer and historian who wrote two romanticised historical works and a lapidary .   La Geste de Liége is an account of the mythical history of his native city , Liège , written partly in prose and partly in verse . It was probably based on an existing text and consists of three books : book one , in 40,000 lines , book two , in 12,224 lines with prose summaries , book three , has been lost , but a few passages have been found .   Ly Myreur des Histors ( `` The Mirror of Histories '' ) is a more ambitious narrative , purporting to be a history of the world from the flood up to the 14th century . It combines Vincent de Beauvais 's early works Ogier le Danois and the Geste de Liège into a universal history , from the fall of Troy to 1340 , mixing real and legendary events .   The Liège herald , Louis Abry ( 1643-1720 ) , refers to the lost fourth book of the Myreur des Hystors of Johans des Preis , styled d'Oultremeuse . In this `` Jean de Bourgogne , dit a la Barbe '' , is said to have revealed himself on his deathbed to d'Oultremeuse , whom he made his executor , and to have described himself in his will as `` messire Jean de Mandeville , chevalier , comte de Montfort en Angleterre et seigneur de l'isle de Campdi et du château Pérouse '' . It is added that , having had the misfortune to kill an unnamed count in his own country , he engaged himself to travel through the three parts of the world , arrived at Liège in 1343 , was a great naturalist , profound philosopher and astrologer , and had a remarkable knowledge of physics . And the identification is confirmed by the fact that in the now destroyed church of the Guillemins was a tombstone of Mandeville , with a Latin inscription stating that he was otherwise named `` ad Barbam '' , was a professor of medicine , and died at Liège on November 17 , 1372 : this inscription is quoted as far back as 1462 .   Tresorier de philosophie naturelle des pierres precieuses ( a lapidary )  This book is a compilation of recipes for making fake gems by coloring glasses by various means . It is of interest to glassworkers or historians seeking to understand the manufacture of ancient glass or fake gems adorning various pieces of goldsmith 's work .

In the course of his life , Ma has studied many traditional forms of wushu , including tongbeiquan , piguaquan , bajiquan , bashanfen , and cuojiao .

neg: Jodi (art collective) Jodi , or www.jodi.org , is a collective of two internet artists : Joan Heemskerk ( born 1968 in Kaatsheuvel , the Netherlands ) and Dirk Paesmans ( born 1965 in Brussels , Belgium ) . Their background is in photography and video art ; since the mid-1990s they started to create original artworks for the World Wide Web . A few years later , they also turned to software art and artistic computer game modification . Their most well-known art piece is their website www.jodi.org , which is a landscape of intricate designs made in basic HTML .   In 1999 they began the practice of modifying old video games such as Wolfenstein 3D to create art mods like SOD . Their efforts were celebrated in the 1999 Webby Awards where they took top prize in the category of `` net art '' . Jodi used their 5-word acceptance speech ( a Webby Award tradition ) to criticize the event with the words `` Ugly commercial sons of bitches . '' Further video game modifications soon followed for Quake , Jet Set Willy , and the latest , Max Payne 2 ( 2006 ) to create a new set of art games . Jodi 's approach to game modification is comparable in many ways to deconstructivism in architecture , because they would disassemble the game to its basic parts , and reassemble it in ways that do not make intuitive sense . One of their more well-known modifications of Quake places the player inside a closed cube with swirling black-and-white patterns on each side . The pattern is the result of a glitch in the game engine discovered by the artists , presumably , through trial and error ; it is generated live as the Quake engine tries , and fails , to visualize the interior of a cube with black-and-white checkered wallpaper .   Since 2002 , they have been in what has been called their `` Screen Grab '' period , making video works by recording the computer monitor 's output while working , playing video games , or coding . Jodi 's `` Screen Grab '' period began with the four-screen video installation My % Desktop ( 2002 ) , which premiered at the Plugin Media Lab in Basel . The piece appeared to depict mammoth Mac OS 9 computers running amok : opening windows cascaded across the screen , error messages squawked , and files replicated themselves endlessly . But this was not a computer gone haywire , but a computer user gone haywire . To make this video , Jodi simply pointed-and-clicked and dragged-and-dropped so frantically , it seemed that no human could be in control of such chaos . As graphics exploded across the screen , the viewer gradually realized that what had initially appeared to be a computer glitch was really the work of an irrational , playful , or crazed human .   `` JODI 's work underlines the innate anarchy of the online medium , an arena that we 've come to recognize as public but one that the duo constantly undermines and tweaks to their own purposes .

neg: World championship A world championship is generally an international sports competition open to elite competitors from across the world , representing their nations , and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest .   The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or , less commonly , ranking systems ( e.g. the ICC Test Championship ) , or a combination of the two ( e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon ) . This determines a ` world champion ' , who or which is commonly considered the best nation , team , individual ( or other entity ) in the world in a particular field , although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the ` world champion ' ( see Underdog ) .   Certain sports do not have a world championship . Instead , they may organise a world cup competition , or they may organize both , for example cycling ( UCI World Championships and UCI World Cups ) ) . Often , the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words . Some sports have multiple champions because of multiple organizations , such as boxing , mixed martial arts and wrestling .   Certain sports do not have a world championship or a world cup as such , but may have one or several world champions . Professional boxing , for example , has several world champions at different weights , but each one of them is decided by a `` title fight '' , not a tournament .   A certain number of sports hold world championships or world cups which are overshadowed , in terms of prestige , by the same events in the Olympic Games , the most prestigious multi-sports event .   Still other sports may or may not have a true world championship but may designate the winners of a domestic competition to be `` world champions . '' This is especially true of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada ; world cups and championships exist in all of the major sports , but the domestic U.S. and Canadian leagues are generally recognized as the world professional championships or the equivalent of a world club championship . ( In American football , although an IFAF World Championship exists , the United States is so far above and beyond the other nations it faces that the winner of the U.S.-based Super Bowl , a competition limited to the 32 teams in the National Football League , is commonly recognized as the world champion . )   Finally , certain professional sports do not have a world championship or world cup , but rather hold a series of events recognised as the elite level in their field ( e.g. tennis has a series of four Grand Slam events recognised as the pinnacle of the game , in addition to key team events , world tour finals and the Olympic Games , but no world championship or world cup ) .

neg: Han van Meegeren Henricus Antonius `` Han '' van Meegeren ( -LSB- ɦɛnˈrikɵs ɑnˈtoːniɵs ˈɦɑn vɑn ˈmeːɣərə ( n ) -RSB- ; 10 October 1889 -- 30 December 1947 ) was a Dutch painter and portraitist and is considered to be one of the most ingenious art forgers of the 20th century .   As a child , van Meegeren developed an enthusiasm for the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age , and later set out to become an artist himself . Art critics , however , decried his work as tired and derivative , and van Meegeren felt that they had destroyed his career . He decided to prove his talent to the critics by forging paintings of some of the world 's most famous artists , including Frans Hals , Pieter de Hooch , Gerard ter Borch , and Johannes Vermeer . He so well replicated the styles and colours of the artists that the best art critics and experts of the time regarded his paintings as genuine and sometimes exquisite . His most successful forgery was Supper at Emmaus , created in 1937 while living in the south of France . This painting was hailed as a real Vermeer by famous art experts such as Abraham Bredius . Bredius acclaimed it as `` the masterpiece of Johannes Vermeer of Delft '' and wrote of the `` wonderful moment '' of being `` confronted with a hitherto unknown painting by a great master '' .   During World War II , wealthy Dutchmen wanted to prevent a sellout of Dutch art to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party , and they avidly bought van Meegeren 's forgeries , thinking them the work of the masters . Nevertheless , a falsified `` Vermeer '' ended up in the possession of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring . Following the war , the forgery was discovered in Göring 's possession , and van Meegeren was arrested on 29 May 1945 as a collaborator , as officials believed that he had sold Dutch cultural property to the Nazis . This would have been an act of treason , the punishment for which was death , so van Meegeren confessed to the less serious charge of forgery instead . He was convicted on falsification and fraud charges on 12 November 1947 , after a brief but highly publicized trial , and was sentenced to a modest punishment of one year in prison . He did not serve out his sentence , however ; he died 30 December 1947 , in the Valerius Clinic in Amsterdam , after two heart attacks .   It is estimated that van Meegeren duped buyers , including the government of the Netherlands , out of the equivalent of more than thirty million dollars in 1967 's money .

Interactive Entertainment currently owns the rights of the franchise and rebooted it in 2011 .   The development of the first game was originally based on an idea that Ed Boon and John Tobias had of making a video game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme , but as that idea fell through , a fantasy-horror themed fighting game titled Mortal Kombat was created instead . The original game has spawned many sequels and has spun a media franchise consisting of several action-adventure games , films ( animated and live-action with its own sequel ) , and television series ( animated and live-action ) . Other spin-offs include comic book series , a card game and a live-action tour . Along with Capcom 's Street Fighter and Bandai Namco 's Tekken , Mortal Kombat has become one of the most successful fighting franchises in the history of video games . , the franchise had generated $ 5 billion in revenue , making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time .   The series has a reputation for high levels of bloody violence , including , most notably , its Fatalities ( finishing moves , requiring a sequence of button inputs to perform ) . The Fatalities , in part , led to the creation of the ESRB video game rating system . The series name itself is also known for using the letter `` K '' in place of `` C '' for the hard C sound , thus intentionally misspelling the word `` combat '' , as well as other words with the hard C sound within later games in the series . Early games in the series were also noted for its realistic digitized sprites ( which differentiated it from its contemporaries ' hand-drawn sprites ) and an extensive use of palette swapping to create new characters .

neg: Hanneke Beaumont Hanneke Beaumont ( born 1947 Maastricht , the Netherlands ) is a Dutch-born sculptor .   She studied dentistry in the United States , but moved back to Europe , to Belgium , where she still lives today . Beaumont started her artistic studies in 1977 at the Académie de Braine l'Alleud , then at La Cambre and in Anderlecht ; she received her first solo exhibition in 1983 .   An important turn in her career happened in 1994 when she was awarded , for her terracotta sculpture group `` Le Courage '' , the major award of the Centre International d'Art Contemporain , Château Beychevelle .  Shortly after , she participated in the second Exposiciòn Internacional de Esculturas en la Calle , organized by the Colegio de Arquitectos de Canarias , in Santa Cruz de Tenerife , where her work was permanently installed .  Since 2005 , various museums have held retrospectives of Beaumont 's art , among which the Beelden aan Zee museum in the Hague , the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Gardens ( Grand Rapids , Michigan ) , the Artis Naples / The Baker Museum ( Florida ) ...  In Brussels , she is instantly recognized for her monumental installations , namely `` Stepping Forward '' installed in front of the EU Council , `` Le Courage '' at the entrance of the Erasmus hospital , `` Le Départ '' at Brussels airport or `` Interaction & Self-Protection '' in Ganshoren . Present in numerous public and private collections , Hanneke Beaumont enjoys an international reputation and her art is exhibited worldwide . Many other public and private collectors have manifested great interest in her work .  She now enjoys an international reputation with exhibitions in the US , UK , Canada , Belgium , France , Germany , Spain , The Netherlands , Switzerland . She shows at the Contessa Gallery .   Hanneke Beaumont has said that she is `` very much a clay person '' , a persuasion apparent in the bold way the sculptor carves her forms ( such as `` Terracotta 78 & 82 '' ) , leaving their surfaces rough and unrefined . Neither man nor woman , Beaumont 's sculptures represent ` Man ' in the broader sense , she addresses grand issues of the human condition . Many of Beaumont 's figures appear neither male nor female , neither young nor old . They do not appear as portraits of particular individuals , nor are they modeled after idealized human forms . Physically , they are approximations of human beings , and as such , they provide a way to consider , from a distance , general ideas about the nature of the human race .   The artist shares her work time between Pietrasanta , ( Italy ) and Middelburg ( Netherlands ) , where in early 2015 she acquired a XVII ' th century warehouse as studio .  Beaumont 's sculptures are realized in Terracotta , Bronze and Cast iron .

It is a small , densely populated country which covers an area of 30528 km2 and has a population of about 11 million people . Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe , Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups : the Dutch-speaking , mostly Flemish community , which constitutes about 59 % of the population , and the French-speaking , mostly Walloon population , which comprises 41 % of all Belgians . Additionally , there is a small group of German-speakers who live in the East Cantons located around the High Fens area , and bordering Germany .   Historically , Belgium , the Netherlands and Luxembourg ( along with parts of Northern France and Western Germany ) were known as the Low Countries ; it once covered a somewhat larger area than the current Benelux group of states . The region was called Belgica in Latin , after the Roman province of Gallia Belgica . From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century , the area of Belgium was a prosperous and cosmopolitan centre of commerce and culture . From the 16th century until the Belgian Revolution in 1830 , when Belgium seceded from the Netherlands , the area of Belgium served as the battleground between many European powers , causing it to be dubbed the `` Battlefield of Europe , ''  a reputation strengthened by both world wars .   Today , Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance . It is divided into three regions and three communities , that exist next to each other . Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia . The Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual ( French and Dutch ) enclave within the Flemish Region .  A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia .  Belgium 's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of governance , made up of six different governments .   Belgium participated in the Industrial Revolution  and , during the course of the 20th century , possessed a number of colonies in Africa . The second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the Dutch-speaking and the French-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of Flanders and Wallonia . This continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching reforms , resulting in a transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement during the period from 1970 to 1993 . Despite the reforms , tensions between the groups have remained , if not increased ; there is significant separatism particularly among the Flemish ; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities ; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the June 2010 federal election , a world record . Belgium is one of the six founding countries of the European Union and hosts the official seats of the European Commission , Council of the European Union , and European Council , as well as a seat of the European Parliament in the country 's capital , Brussels . Belgium is also a founding member of the Eurozone , NATO , OECD and WTO , and a part of the trilateral Benelux Union . Its capital , Brussels , hosts several of the EU 's official seats as well as the headquarters of many major international organizations such as NATO.Belgium is a member of , or affiliated to , many international organizations , including ACCT , AfDB , AsDB , Australia Group , Benelux , BIS , CCC , CE , CERN , EAPC , EBRD , EIB , EMU , ESA , EU , FAO , G-10 , IAEA , IBRD , ICAO , ICC , ICRM , IDA , IDB , IEA , IFAD , IFC , IFRCS , IHO , ILO , IMF , IMO , IMSO , Intelsat , Interpol , IOC , IOM , ISO , ITU , MONUC ( observers ) , NATO , NEA , NSG , OAS ( observer ) , OECD , OPCW , OSCE , PCA , UN , UNCTAD , UNECE , UNESCO , UNHCR , UNIDO , UNMIK , UNMOGIP , UNRWA , UNTSO , UPU , WADB ( non-regional ) , WEU , WHO , WIPO , WMO , WTrO , ZC .

From 1947 until 1963 , he and his wife Marcia ran the most successful and influential membership film society in North American history , at its height boasting 7000 members .   Vogel was inspired by Maya Deren 's independent exhibitions . Deren exhibited and presented lectures on her films across the United States , Cuba and Canada . In 1946 , she booked the Provincetown Playhouse in Greenwich Village for a public exhibition titled Three Abandoned Films , which consisted of showings of Meshes of the Afternoon , At Land , and A Study in Choreography for the Camera .

The movies shown at Cinema 16 consisted mostly of the experimental film that began flourishing after World War II , as well as nonfiction films -- not only documentaries , but educational films as well .
