An evening of film clips and discussion, curated by Brooklyn Demme
Tickets: pay what you like from $5 to $50 ($15/$20 suggested), online ONLY. We don’t want to anyone to feel that they can’t afford to attend this program.

Here are three common observations about Jonathan Demme: he was well known to be liked and admired by all who met him; throughout his career his films revealed a belief in the goodness of people; and he sometimes used close-ups on an actor looking directly into the camera lens, as if to make a direct emotional connection between that character and the viewer. In Jonathan Demme: Close Up, we turn that gaze back at the filmmaker and his films with the help of those who knew him, using clips from his films for insights into what made him a preeminent director, a champion of overlooked films from around the world, a mentor and role model.

Looking over the films of Jonathan Demme, from Black exploitation made for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures early in his career to Toni Morrison’s Beloved, through gently off beat stories of America and Americans to films made as an A-list director and Oscar winner, you’ll find a diverse range of storytelling, a love of music, and explorations of society and psychology. He often enjoyed the luxury of being an in-demand Hollywood Director, but at all times Jonathan Demme was an iconoclast.

Community Partner: Truth to Power
Jonathan Demme: Close Up is funded by a Regrowth and Capacity Grant from New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature. Additional funding is provided by the Village of Nyack Tourism Grants.

Before attending this event, take a little refresher course on Jonathan Demme, starting with his IMDB page (director credits only). How many of these films have you seen? https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001129/fullcredits

Here’s a montage of Jonathan Demme close-ups, without any voice over. The Demme close-up on an actor looking into the camera lens was one of his signatures. Hence the title of our event. https://vimeo.com/126757480

O jogo móvel tem vindo a crescer há vários anos. Naturalmente, os melhores casinos online também reagem à tendência e fornecem-lhe várias aplicações ou websites móveis. Nesta página, dedicamo-nos especificamente às últimas e mais populares opções de jogos móveis que são oferecidas no mundo dos casinos em linha. No teste encontrará toda a informação sobre aplicações para dispositivos Android e iOS, assim como websites móveis.
Cada casino móvel Português tem a sua própria forma de "fornecer" aos jogadores slots móveis e clássicos. Alguns dependem de aplicações especiais para smartphones Android, bem como para iPhones ou mesmo iPads. Geralmente, os pequenos programas funcionam nos telemóveis correspondentes, mas também é maravilhoso jogar em movimento com um tablet.
Outras empresas, contudo, juram pelos sites da HMTL5. Este é, por assim dizer, o casino original com quase todo o portfólio em forma comprimida. Ambas as variantes têm vantagens, pelo que no final terá de decidir por si próprio qual a solução que melhor se adapta a si e às suas necessidades. HTML5 é sempre adequado se utilizar um smartphone ou tablet com sistemas que não os mencionados - Windows, por exemplo. Para este software, muito poucos casinos online desenvolveram até agora aplicações especiais. Assim, a coisa mais fácil a fazer é chamar o URL do casino e depois beneficiar da oferta de jogos móveis directamente no browser.
Em princípio, isto deve funcionar sempre sem problemas nos dispositivos actuais. O desempenho na área dos jogos móveis está a melhorar visivelmente, de modo que esta opção de jogo dificilmente é inferior à do casino com navegador no PC de casa. É claro que não se pode jogar apenas gratuitamente em movimento. Os sites HTML5 são, no final, algo como a forma pequena do grande casino. Isto significa que iniciar sessão e jogar para obter ganhos reais é tão fácil na estrada como em casa, no ambiente de trabalho. A única diferença é, evidentemente, a resolução mais pequena, e é aqui que o trigo é separado do joio.
