Interview with Edward Frenkel: as the Tragic and Possessed Lover
by Jason-Louise Graham - Berkeley Art World Examiner
http://www.examiner.com/art-world-in-san-francisco/rites-of-love-and-math-shattuck-cinemas-december-1-review
The true language of love? It’s math, says Berkeley professor Edward Frenkel, whose steamy new film touches a nerve:

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and Berkeley Video and Film Festivals present
"Mathematics, Love, and Death"
On December 1, 2010, at 7 pm, at Landmark Shattuck Cinemas, 2230 Shattuck Avenue, Downtown Berkeley, there will be a special screening of two short films: “Rite of Love and Death” (30 min) by Yukio Mishima and “Rites of Love and Math” (26 min) by Reine Graves and Edward Frenkel.
This will be the North American theatrical premiere of “Rites of Love and Math”. Edward Frenkel, Professor of Mathematics at UC Berkeley, co-wrote and co-directed it and also played the lead. The film, a sprawling allegory about Truth and Beauty, Love and Death, Mathematics and Tattoo, premiered in Paris in April of 2010 and has played at international film festivals and other venues around the world. It has been featured in Le Monde, The Huffington Post, Science magazine, and other publications as well as radio and TV programs in the US and Europe.
See http://math.berkeley.edu/~frenkel/RITES for more details.
This film was inspired by the cult classic “Rite of Love and Death” (also known as “Yukoku”) by Yukio Mishima, one of the most important Japanese writers of the 20th Century, which he made in 1965. That film had a very unusual and mysterious history of its own: after Mishima’s dramatic death on November 25, 1970 (almost exactly 40 years ago), it was banned and all copies were presumed destroyed, but it has been recently released on DVD after the original negative was miraculously found in a jar of tea.
Each film will be introduced prior to the screening, and there will be Q & A with Edward Frenkel after the screenings.
Free Admission. Free Pass Tickets available in advance at East Bay Media Center - 1939 Addison Street - Downtown Berkeley, CA 94704 (510) 843-3699 and evening of screenings at Landmark Shattuck Cinemas Filmmakers Box Office.

Learn how to get your Documentary made through practical advice,
in this fun and engaging two day course by working producer, consultant
and co-author of The Documentary Filmmakers Handbook, Andrew Zinnes
The Documentary Filmmakers Course
is packed with everything a filmmaker needs to know in order to make a great documentary film.
Topics include creating a great story, where to get finance, production and post-production workflows and how to sell and distribute your film.
Includes a workshop where you can pitch your project and get specialized advice from doc producer, Andrew Zinnes.
Is there a story you want the whole world to know, but aren't sure how to do it? Maybe you have a social cause that needs more attention?

Learn how to make a documentary film and you can get your message to the masses. But documentary filmmaking sounds like something that takes years of training and requires lots of expensive, technical equipment, right? And you might think, “I’m not all that “Hollywood.” Well, it does take some know how and the equipment can seem a bit daunting. And that is exactly why The Documentary Filmmakers Course exists. Our two-day seminar provides you with an interactive, relaxed environment that encourages you to reach your goals. Through practical tips, hands on experience with filmmaking gear and video examples, you will feel empowered and confident that you can go out the next day and get started on your project. And don't think after the seminar is over that you are on your own. Our instructor is available for quick one off e-mail questions and hour long consult sessions long after the event is over to refresh your memory, give advice and help guide you through your process.
After all, what we want you to do is have an idea, grab a camera and make a doc.
And if you aren't completely satisfied we will return your money. No strings attached.
