neg: Cinema of Sri Lanka Sri Lankan cinema encompasses the films made in Sri Lanka . It is a fledgling industry that has struggled to find a footing since its inauguration in 1947 with Kadawunu Poronduwa produced by S.M. Nayagam of Chitra Kala Movietone . Sri Lankan films are usually made in the Sinhalese language , the language of the majority Sinhala people .   In the first nine years most films were made in South India and followed the conventions of Indian cinema . Studio shooting was the norm , with Indian style sets erected in film studios . Even though it is popularly held that Rekava , made in 1956 by pioneer director Lester James Peries , was the first Sinhala film to be shot completely out of studio , it was really the film `` Gambada Sundari '' , made in 1950 which was the first film shot outside studios . It was also the first Sri Lankan film where , like in `` Rekawa '' , the dialog was recorded on the spot . This was because the film was shot on 16mm , using an Auricon sound-on-film camera which recorded the sound on the 16mm film optically , unlike in the case of where the sound was recorded on a Kinevox 35mm magnetic recorder . The film was later ` blown-up ' to 35mm and was screened in Colombo in 1950 .   Though `` Rekawa '' was acclaimed by local and international critics , the film failed to find an audience in the country and was a box office failure . Films continued to follow formulaic storylines borrowed from India up through the early 1960s despite such efforts as Sandesaya and Kurulu Bedda .   In 1964 , Lester James Peries again contributed to the development of Sri Lankan cinema with Gamperaliya which was the first Sinhala film to feature no songs and like Rekava shot completely outside the studio . It garnered massive praise for portraying Sinhala culture in a realistic manner and was hailed by critics and audiences alike . The producer Anton Wicremasinghe was awarded the Silver Peacock at the New Delhi International Film Festival for Gamperaliya . Following this breakthrough , several artistic Sinhala films were made in the late-1960s including Sath Samudura by professor Siri Gunasinghe , ably supported by exquisite cinematography by Dr.D.B . Nihalsinghe .   During the 1970s several talents came to the forefront while commercial cinema continued to steal storylines and plots from Indian films . These include Dr. D.B. Nihalsingha with `` Weilkatara '' - Sri Lanka 's first film in Cinemascope ratio wide screen in 1972 ; Vasantha Obeysekera who followed up his well-received debut Ves Gatho with a slew of successful films culminating with Palangetiyo in 1979 . Another major director who stepped forward during this time is Dharmasena Pathiraja who examined the tensions of city youth in such works as Bambaru Awith and Ahas Gauwa . Artist and poet Mahagama Sekera 's sole film Thun Man Handiya is also an important film in Sri Lankan cinema released in 1970 . Sumitra Peries , the wife of Lester James Peries , also struck out during the 1970s with work that looked at the conflicting roles of women in society . Her work include Gehenu Lamai and Ganga Addara .   Over the next few decades , artists such as Tissa Abeysekara , Dr. D.B. Nihalsingha , Udayakantha Warnasooriya , H.D.Premaratne , Ashoka Handagama , Prasanna Vithanage and Vimukthi Jayasundara have attempted to breathe new life into the industry . Nihalsingha was an accomplished cinematographer as well as an editor : so his films has an input which was special and brought a viewpoint to all his films , most of which focused on the exploited women .   Vithanage 's film Purahanda Kaluwara is widely considered one of the best movies made in Sri Lanka as is Jayasundara 's Sulanga Enu Pinisa which won the coveted Camera d'Or for best first film at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival .   During Sri Lankan Civil War several films have begun to tackle gritty subjects such as family relationships , abortion and results of the conflict between the military and Tamil Tiger rebels in the north . Director Asoka Handagama especially has drawn criticism for pursuing such material in his work .   In the recent years high budget films like Aloko Udapadi , Aba ( film ) and Maharaja Gemunu based on Sinhalese epic historical stories gain huge success .

neg: David Wang (Australia) David Neng Hwan Wang ( 12 February 1920 -- 1 January 1978 ) , was a Chinese-Australian businessman and the first Chinese-Australian elected to the Melbourne City Council .   Wang was born in Haimen county , Jiangsu province , China , the son of a prosperous peasant farmer , and studied radio communications in Shanghai before entering the military academy in Chongqing ( Chungking ) , ( then the temporary capital of China ) in 1939 . Promoted lieutenant in 1941 , he served in the intelligence section of the general headquarters . Following the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific , he was sent to Australia as a captain with the Chinese military mission .   In Melbourne in 1942 he met Mabel Chen , an Australian-born Chinese , who chose the English name David for him . In 1947 they were married in Singapore , where he opened a business importing woollen goods from Australia . These connections to Australia enabled him to gain a seven-year Australian business residence permit in 1948 , despite the then-official White Australia Policy , which prevented Asian immigration . The permit was issued by the Immigration Minister Arthur Calwell , who became a close friend of the Wang family , despite his lifelong support for White Australia . He opened his furniture business in Little Bourke Street in 1950 .   The business grew rapidly and by the 1960s Wang was a leading businessman and a leader of the Chinese community . The Australian Dictionary of Biography notes :  `` Anticipating a growing taste for oriental wares , they prospered almost immediately , obtaining Chinese goods through a Hong Kong agent , and later importing from Taiwan , Japan , the Philippines , Malaysia , Thailand and the Pacific Islands , and , after 1972 , mainland China . The Wangs largely pioneered the trade in Chinese cane-ware , bamboo blinds , camphorwood chests , and arts and crafts . Fireworks were among their most lucrative earners . In 1962 , wishing to make his first overseas business trip on an Australian passport , David applied for naturalisation six months before he had completed the required fifteen years residence , and succeeded on appeal . He purchased and demolished the Canton Building in Little Bourke Street , erecting in its place a modern emporium , opened in 1964 by Calwell . ''   In 1965 Wang , on the nomination of Calwell ( whose electorate covered the City of Melbourne ) , was appointed one of the first two Chinese-Australian Justices of the Peace in Australia . In 1969 he was elected to the Melbourne City Council , becoming the first Chinese-Australian to win a seat in local government . As a Councillor he led the push for the extension of shopping hours and the establishment of new parks in the city , and worked on the approval of Melbourne 's Chinatown Project .   `` Wang campaigned for election to Melbourne City Council , basing his campaign on revitalising inner-city Melbourne , particularly its night life , and injecting an international flavour into the city . As a leader in the Chinese community he had initiated Melbourne 's Chinatown project in 1960 and in 1970 he revived it as a councillor . The Chinese quarter in Melbourne , centred in Little Bourke Street , had been in decline and Wang believed that its transformation with pagodas , archways and suitable lighting would attract tourists and shoppers , as well as promoting Chinese culture . Chinatown was launched in 1976 . ''  Wang served on many other community bodies and was Foundation Chairman of the Dai Loong Association . In 1975-77 he was chairman of the Chinese Professional and Business Association of Victoria . It was widely expected that he would be elected as Lord Mayor of Melbourne , but his early death from a heart attack prevented this .   `` Having experienced little personal prejudice in the business and professional milieux , -LSB- Wang -RSB- saw his advance as demonstrating the fairness of the Australian people , as distinct from the sometimes overbearing behaviour of the country 's officialdom . Cautious and a gradualist , he condemned examples of racism in public life , welcomed the replacement of the White Australia policy by selective immigration , forecast a multi-racial nation , and supported an Asian immigration quota . In 1977 he described Australia as a cosmopolitan community and endorsed racial integration , including mixed marriages , arguing that the Australian Chinese should serve as a bridge of friendship between the two countries . The tolerance displayed by Australian youth made him optimistic about the future . ''

''   Allan Massie considered that :  `` Leslie 's first quality is courage . All back-row forwards have to be brave , but Leslie 's courage defies reason and probability alike : he reckons any ball on the ground is his to win . The courage is so blinding that one is apt to overlook the skill , judgement and timing with which he launches himself at such balls and attaches himself to them . `` He is in fact a very skilful educated player ( he often played fly-half in his schooldays ) . He gives and takes a pass better than most of the Scottish three-quarter line . He has acquired the knack of dipping his shoulder into the tackler and slipping the ball at the same moment to a supporting player . He kicks well . Perhaps though his greatest asset with the ball in his hand is his intuitive knowledge of what is right . Jim Telfer has said that he can stop worrying when Leslie has the ball , being 99 per cent sure that he will out it to the best use possible . This is a quality that many of even the best and most spectacular of back-row men never acquire . '' ''   He went to school at High School of Dundee and Glenalmond College .

neg: Dewisland thumb | 250px | right | The cantref of Pebidiog in ancient Dyfed  The Hundred of Dewisland ( often written `` Dewsland '' ) was a hundred in the north west of Pembrokeshire , Wales . It was formed by the Act of Union of 1536 and was essentially identical to the pre-Norman cantref of Pebidiog : one of the seven cantrefs of Dyfed .   Named after Dewi Sant , the Welsh name for Saint David , Dewisland is in north-western Pembrokeshire , including the city of St David 's and the peninsula on which it stands . Almost all of the hundred was within the Marcher Lordship of the Bishop of St David 's , and St David 's was its civil and ecclesiastical headquarters . It was said to be divided into two commotes : Mynyw ( Latin : Menevia ) and Pencaer .   Dewisland boasts of being the only part of Wales never conquered by a foreign invader . The English before the Conquest did not get so far , and the Normans respected Dewisland as a possession of the Church , so that it was spared the fierce fighting which took place everywhere else when they conquered Wales . Nevertheless , it was occupied by the Normans in the 12th century , and made part of the March , but remained exclusively Welsh-speaking , except for small English plantations in the City of St David 's and at Abercastle and Letterston . These were extinct by the time of George Owen , who described the hundred as wholly Welsh-speaking .   The Petty Sessions for the hundred were held at Solfach .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . 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: Not as a Stranger Not as a Stranger is a 1955 Drama film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Morton Thompson .

neg: Tenebrae (film) Tenebrae ( also known as Tenebre ) is a 1982 English-language Italian giallo film written and directed by Dario Argento . The film stars Anthony Franciosa as American author Peter Neal , who -- while in Rome promoting his latest murder-mystery novel -- becomes embroiled in the search for a serial killer who may have been inspired to kill by the novel . John Saxon and Daria Nicolodi co-star as Neal 's agent and assistant ; Giuliano Gemma and Carola Stagnaro appear as detectives investigating the murders . John Steiner , Veronica Lario and Mirella D'Angelo also feature . The film has been described as exploring themes of dualism and sexual aberration , and has strong metafictional elements ; some commentators consider Tenebrae to be a direct reaction by Argento to criticism of his previous work , most especially his depictions of murders of beautiful women .   After Argento had experimented with pure supernatural horror with 1977 's Suspiria and 1980 's Inferno , Tenebrae represented the filmmaker 's return to the giallo horror subgenre , which he had helped popularize in the 1970s . Argento was inspired by a series of incidents which saw an obsessed fan telephone the director to criticise him for the damaging psychological effects of his previous work . The telephone calls culminated in death threats towards Argento , who channelled the experience into the writing of Tenebrae . The director also wanted to explore the senselessness of killings he had witnessed and heard about while staying in Los Angeles in 1980 , and his feeling at the time that true horror came from those who wanted `` to kill for nothing '' .   Shot on location in Rome and at Elios Studios , Tenebrae utilised mostly modern-looking locations and sets to help Argento realise his intent that the film reflect a near-future with a diminished population ; the director filmed none of the historical landmarks that usually featured in films set in Rome . Employing director of photography Luciano Tovoli , Argento also intended that the film simulate the stark , realistic lighting featured in television police shows at the time ; production designer Giuseppe Bassa created supporting environments that were cold and austere , with sharp angles and modernistic spaces . Several former members of Italian rock band Goblin provided Tenebraes music , a synth-heavy score inspired by rock and disco music .   Tenebrae was a modest success in Italy ; it reached theatres with little controversy after Argento made cuts to one of the most violent scenes . However , in the United Kingdom , it was added to the infamous list of `` video nasties '' and banned from sale until 1999 . The film 's theatrical distribution in the United States was delayed until 1984 , when it was released in a heavily censored version under the title Unsane . In its cut form , Tenebrae received a mostly negative critical reception , but the original , fully restored version later became widely available for reappraisal ; it is considered by some to be one of Argento 's best thrillers . The film critic and author Maitland McDonagh said that it was `` in many respects ... the finest film that Argento has ever made '' .

neg: Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures Stanley Kubrick : A Life in Pictures is a 2001 documentary about the life and work of Stanley Kubrick , famed film director , made by his long-time assistant and brother-in-law Jan Harlan . Its running time is 142 minutes long , it consists of several 15-minute chapters , each detailing the making of one of his films -- and two more showing his childhood and life .   Jan Harlan managed to get many of Kubrick 's collaborators for interviews , including Tom Cruise , Nicole Kidman , Keir Dullea , Arthur C. Clarke , Malcolm McDowell , Peter Ustinov , Jack Nicholson , György Ligeti and Matthew Modine . It also has interviews from film directors who were inspired by Kubrick such as Woody Allen , Steven Spielberg , Martin Scorsese and Sydney Pollack .   The film contains some rare footage , including from the Kubrick family home videos and on film sets , and clips from Fear and Desire - Kubrick 's first feature-length film .   It was released on DVD on October 23 , 2007 , and was featured on the tenth disc of Stanley Kubrick : The Essential Collection and Stanley Kubrick : Limited Edition Collection DVD and Blu-ray released May 31 , 2011 , respectively .

The soundtrack of the film is by composer and musician Jocelyn Pook , who had previously worked with Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut .

neg: Discount theater Discount theaters , also known as dollar theatres , dollar movies , second-run theatres , and sub-run theatres , are movie theaters that show motion pictures for reduced prices after the films leave first-run theatres . Originally , they would receive 35mm films after they had been shown already at first run theaters ; therefore the film quality would be lower because the film was worn by dozens of showings , and the audience for the film would be reduced since it had been released weeks or months before .   At the time , VHS was just rising as an affordable home video technology . Consequently , budget-conscious film-goers might wait for a film to hit the local dollar house instead of paying more money to see the film first-run .   As the 21st century dawned , a pair of factors conspired to drive many discount theatres out of business : 1 ) an oversupply of American movie screens caused by ambitious overbuilding allowed films to stay longer in the first-run theatres , and 2 ) the delay between theatrical release and VHS or DVD release continued to shrink . This latter factor convinced many moviegoers that it was simply not worth the money , hassle , and possible encounters with noisy fellow patrons and sticky floors , meaning dollar theatres could be in the twilight of their existence .

neg: Cleaner (crime) A cleaner , or fixer , is a person who `` cleans up '' after crimes to physically erase their trace or uses pressure or bribes to limit fallout from a criminal act .   A fixer plays a similar but often less hands-on role , often minimizing bad publicity for public officials or media figures by quelling stories of their misadventures , but also capable of more heavyhanded tactics , as necessary .   A cleaner may destroy or remove incriminating evidence at the scene of a crime . A popular figure in crime fiction , a cleaner may also be a contract killer who commits murder to `` clean up '' a situation .  Cleaner is also a slang term for someone , usually a member of a crime organization or a covert government agency , who disposes of a corpse after a hit .   In contrast , legal crime scene cleanup is a legitimate industry , eliminating blood and other biohazardous materials such as dangerous chemicals used in an illegal drug lab as permitted by responsible authorities .   A fictional example of a cleaner is Shoulders from the comic strip Dick Tracy . More contemporary are the roles played by Jean Reno as Victor in the film La Femme Nikita ( 1990 ) , Harvey Keitel as Victor in Point of No Return ( 1993 ) , and a year later as a Mr. Wolf in Quentin Tarantino 's Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) ( parodied on Seinfeld ` s episode 155 , `` The Muffin Tops '' ( 1997 ) , where Newman makes the problem of leftover muffin stumps go away by eating them ) , and George Clooney as the title character in Michael Clayton . On television , similar roles are played by Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut in the TV series Breaking Bad and its prequel , Better Call Saul , Liev Schreiber in the title role of Showtime 's Ray Donovan , Paige Turco as recurring character Zoe Morgan in Person of Interest , and Susan Blommaert as `` Mr. Kaplan '' in The Blacklist .

neg: BAFTA Award for Best Film The BAFTA Award for Best Film is given annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and presented at the British Academy Film Awards . It has been given since the 1st BAFTA Awards , representing the best films of 1947 , but until 1969 it was called the BAFTA Award for Best Film From Any Source . It is possible for films from any country to be nominated , although British films are also recognised in the category BAFTA Award for Best British Film and ( since 1983 ) foreign-language films in BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language . As such , there have been multiple occasions of a film being nominated in two of these categories .   There has been one tie for the Best Film award when , in 1962 , Ballad of a Soldier tied with The Hustler for Best Film from any Source . Until 1981 , the award was given to the director , except in 1976 and 1977 , when it was given to the producers . From 1981 to 1985 , it was given solely to the producers , and then in 1986 , it was shared between the Director and Producer . In 1998 , it was once again given to only the producers .   In the following lists , the titles and names in bold with a dark grey background are the winners and recipients respectively ; those not in bold are the nominees . The years given are those in which the films under consideration were released , not the year of the ceremony , which always takes place the following year .
