REFLECTION, 3min,. USA
Directed by Yana Toyber
This visual poem explores the profound inner struggle we all face, drawing inspiration from the mythic figure of Morana, the Slavic goddess of winter, death, and rebirth. In Slavic folklore, Morana symbolizes the inevitability of endings and the harsh beauty of transformation. Through her, we confront the darkest parts of our nature—fear, pain, anger, and the haunting presence of our limitations.

Born
December 4, 1949 · Los Angeles, California, USA

Birth name
Jeffrey Leon Bridges

Spouse
Susan Bridges(June 5, 1977 – present) (3 children)

QUOTES:

[on his father, actor Lloyd Bridges] My father, unlike his father, was very supportive of all his kids getting involved in movies and acting in general. He loved what he did and wanted to turn his kids onto it. He thought it was a great way of meeting people, being creative, and traveling around the world and doing what you love to do.
I went from high school — bang! — into the movies. I did spend a few weeks in acting classes in New York when my father was there doing “Cactus Flower”. But most of my training really came from my parents and my brother [Beau Bridges].

For a long while I wasn’t sure I was going to make acting my main focus professionally. I was interested in music, painting and other creative pursuits. I did the movies with a little more capricious an attitude; I wasn’t so seriously minded as a total professional. Then came The Iceman Cometh (1973) We had eight weeks of rehearsals and then we shot for two weeks. So it was almost the reverse of how most movies are made. During those eight weeks, I was sitting around with these great actors and this great director, just shooting the breeze and, of course, going over the material. I was also getting to know how other actors of that caliber work on things like this. It was very enlightening. After that experience, I decided, “Hey, I can do this. And I can do this for the rest of my life in a professional way”.

When I was offered the part of The Dude in The Big Lebowski (1998), I went through a big thing in my head worrying if this was going to be a bad example for my girls. The guy was kind of an anti-hero, a pot-smoking, slacker kind of guy, and I was really racking my brain about it. I always want to feel free to play any role, a despicable guy or a good guy — the full range of human experience. But this one was really giving me problems. So I assembled the family and told them my problem. After a long pause, my middle girl said, “Dad, you’re an actor. We know that it’s all pretend what you do. We know that when you kiss some lady on the screen that you still love Mom. We know you’re an actor”. So I had their permission, their blessing, to go play a character like The Dude. That was great that they understood that. And I count on the audiences to understand that what I do in my personal life and what I do on the screen are not some kind of example for them to base their lives on. Hopefully, when people see a movie, they know it’s a movie.

I’m very proud of The Last Picture Show (1971). It was absolutely thrilling when I got that part. Peter Bogdanovich was just great, and the whole ensemble was too – Cloris Leachman and Ellen Burstyn and Tim Bottoms and Cybill. When we were doing it, we all had the feeling that we were doing something unique and special. For me, that film stands alone. It’s not like any other movie I can think of. It just hangs there by itself. It’s still and slow and quiet.

A biography screenplay, or biopic script, is a written work that dramatizes the life of a real person or group of people. The term “biopic” is a combination of the words “biographical” and “picture”.

Born December 1, 1940 · Peoria, Illinois, USA Died December 10, 2005 · Encino, Los Angeles, California, USA (heart attack) Birth name Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor III Foul language that has been compared to raw sewage mixed with social insight that has been compared to Mark Twain. QUOTES: I live in racist America and I’m uneducated, yet a lot of people love me and like what I do, and I can make a living from it. You can’t do much better than that. I had some great things and I had some bad things. The best and the worst. In other words, I had a life. It’s been a struggle for me because I had a chance to be white and refused. Everyone carries around his own monsters. [on the free-basing incident which set him on fire] When you are running down the street…. and you are on fire, people will get out of your way. I met the President. We in trouble. [At the 1977 Academy Awards] I’m here to explain why black people will never be nominated for anything. This show is going out to seventy-five million people – none of them black. We don’t even know how to vote. There’s 3,349 people in the voting thing and only two black people – Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. We’re quitting. You’ll have to listen to Lawrence Welk.

Born December 1, 1985 · Kansas City, Kansas, USA Birth name Janelle Monáe Robinson QUOTES: I feel myself becoming the fearless person I have dreamt of being. Have I arrived? No. But I’m constantly evolving and challenging myself to be unafraid to make mistakes. [observation, 2014] I’d be honored to experiment more with holograms and maybe make a whole band – but I love my band. I wouldn’t want them to be holograms. I’ve never viewed myself as “just” a musician or singer. I’m a storyteller who wants to tell untold, meaningful, universal stories in unforgettable ways. I want to do it all, study it all and find my place in it. I had a strong visceral reaction to the Moonlight (2016) script, partly because I felt I knew all of these characters. I grew up with a drug dealer like Juan in my neighborhood who was a mentor to local young people. I had a family member who was addicted to crack, like Paula. Chiron himself reminded me of my little cousin – they were all characters I could relate to from my upbringing. And I’ve played the role of Teresa in real life: my family and friends always have a shoulder to lean on with me.
