Digital technology is fundamentally reshaping broadcasting and the media in the U.S. and around the world. This symposium panel will feature distinguished scholars whose research spans domestic and international issues of technological change and the implications for broadcasting and beyond. Questions to be considered include what is the impact of digital technology on: 1) the structure of broadcasting organizations and regulation, 2) the nature of broadcast content or media programming and how it is delivered at home and abroad, 3) engagement and interaction of the public with broadcasting and social and mobile media, and 4) the reshaping of revenue models for broadcasters and media organizations in the U.S. and globally. Panelists will help set an agenda for research on the implications of digital technology for broadcasting and broadcasting education in the U.S and internationally.

In this session, Sheila Curran Bernard will focus on Slavery by Another Name (PBS 2012; streamed online at www.pbs.org/sban) and her process for writing a 90-minute, theatrical documentary based on a 400-page, Pulitzer Prize-winning book, working in collaboration with the film’s executive producers and producer/director to ensure the film’s value not only for broadcast but also for classroom and community use, such as inclusion in Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle, a nationwide initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Gilder-Lehrman Institute of American History.
Moderators:Thomas Mascaro, Bowling Green State UniversityMeet and greet with friends and colleagues at BEA's annual Tuesday evening reception. As a “twist” this year, enjoy an event you can only find at BEA2014 -- interact with members of the American Society of Cinematographers! Ask questions, get tips and start building a relationship with some of the top cinematographers in the world – while you share a beer….and pretzels!
The ASC's annual Cinematography Workshop will explore the opportunities of filmmaking with today's hottest technology. In conjunction with the American Society of Cinematographers, this workshop will introduce you in an intimate setting to this year’s guest, Dean Cundey, ASC.
Cundey first attracted widespread attention when he collaborated with John Carpenter on the production of Halloween (1978). The two filmmakers continued to work together on such memorable films as The Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing, Halloween II and III, and Big Trouble in Little China.
For his work on Robert Zemeckis’ landmark, live-action film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Cundey garnered both Oscar and BAFTA nominations. Zemeckis and Cundey also teamed up on the beloved Back to the Future trilogy, Romancing the Stone, and Death Becomes Her. Cundey earned his first nomination from his peers at the ASC for Steven Spielberg’s Hook (1991), and a second one for his gripping imagery of Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 (1995). He also earned the Society of Operating Cameraman’s President’s Award in 1999.
Cundey’s credits also include such notable films as Jurassic Park, What Women Want, Garfield, The Holiday, The Spy Next Door, Jack and Jill, Crazy Kind of Love, and the upcoming releases Walking with the Enemy and Carry Me Home.
“Dean has continually raised the bar with his magnificent imagery, and I’m certain he will continue to do so for many years to come,” says ASC Awards Chairman Lowell Peterson. “He has compiled an incomparable body of work that has made a meaningful and indelible impression on the art of filmmaking. This award is a symbol of our respect and admiration for both the man and his work.”
