Music Makes A City
''Music Makes a City'' is a 2010 American documentary film directed by Owsley Brown III and Jerome Hiler. It examines the history of the Louisville Orchestra. Production The film was conceived by Brown and Hiler after a performance by the San Francisco Ballet. Hiler was discussing George Balanchine and the impact of strong leadership on culture. He used Mayor Charles R. Farnsley as an example for Brown, whose family came from Louisville. As Hiler explained the story of the Louisville Orchestra, Brown suggested writing a book about it. Hiler responded that making a film would allow them to include the orchestra's music. Hiler, accustomed to the handheld Bolex camera, worked using a tripod to capture static shots. In adapting to this manner of shooting, he was influenced by Gregory Markopoulos, with whom he had worked during the 1960s. Production took over five years, with delays because of Hiler's health during that time. The film's soundtrack was assembled by Hiler. Much of i ...

He was the first projectionist for Andy Warhol's '' The Chelsea Girls,'' and went on to project that film more than 150 times. Hiler creates experimental films. An Artforum review by P. Adams Sitney of his 2011 film, ''Words of Mercury'', described Hiler as part of the "rare company of significant if almost invisible filmmakers of the American avant-garde cinema." Manohla Dargis of ''The New York Times'' wrote that Hiler's "output is limited but stunning." Wheeler Winston Dixon has described his films as works in which “everyday objects, places, things and people are transformed into integers of light, creating a sinuous tapestry of restless imagistic construction”. Since the 1960s, Hiler's partner has been fellow filmmaker ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mid City Mall is a shopping mall in Louisville, Kentucky's Highlands area. While called a mall, and containing an enclosed shopping area, it has features atypical of suburban American malls, such as a comedy club, bar, grocery store and public library. A 1994 article in Louisville's '' Courier-Journal'' newspaper argued that the mall could be considered the "crossroads" of Louisville, and described it as being "only part shopping center, because it is also community center, courthouse square and retirement-village rec room." History Development Mid City Mall was built on the site of the German Protestant Orphan's Home, which was founded in 1851 and moved to the Highlands site in 1902. It remained there until 1962, but the structure and grounds were sold for $500,000 in 1959 to mall developers. The aging structure was demolished and the orphanage moved to Bardstown Road and Goldsmith Lane. Developers then built what became Kentucky's second enclosed mall. The initial plan, unveil ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
