Donald Shebib (born 17 January 1938, Toronto), often called Don Shebib, is a Canadian film director, writer, producer and editor.
 A graduate of UCLA film school, Shebib gained prominence and critical acclaim in Canadian cinema for his seminal 1970 movie "Goin' Down the Road", which combined narrative storytelling with Canadian documentary tradition influenced by the British.
 The low-budget film crew travelled around Toronto in a station wagon, supported by funding from the newly-formed Canadian Film Development Corporation.
 The movie was screened in New York and hailed by Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert.
 Kael wrote that the movie showed up the ostensibly forced sincerity and perceived honesty of the films of John Cassavetes.
 Shebib is the father of Noah "40" Shebib.
 Goin' Down the Road was digitally remastered as one of the key films in the Canadian film canon and was honoured with a screening at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
 A sequel was shot in 2011, called "Goin' Down the Road Again," featuring some of the original cast members as well as a new generation of characters.
Patterns of Childhood, originally published as "Kindheitsmuster" in German, is a book written by Christa Wolf and published in 1976.
 Christa Wolf was a prominent author from East Germany known for works such as Divided Heaven [Der Geteilte Himmel] and Kassandra.
 Although "Patterns of Childhood" is not an autobiography, it has parallels with Wolf's own childhood in Nazi Germany.
 It is set in multiple time periods and locations, with the primary narratives revolving around the second-person narrator's childhood in Nazi Germany, her return to her hometown as an adult, and her reflections while writing.
 "Patterns" explores themes of memory, Nazism, and guilt.
 Thus it provides insight into the upbringings of those who lived under totalitarian regimes, and problems that arise from such a childhood.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (1968) is Pauline Kael's second collection of reviews from 1965 through 1968, compiled from numerous magazines including "The Atlantic", "Holiday", "The New Yorker", "Life", "Mademoiselle", "The New Republic", "McCall's", and "Vogue".
 It features her review of "The Sound of Music", which she notoriously dubbed "The Sound of Money," sparking outrage from loyal readers of "McCall's".
 This is erroneously considered to be the reason why she was fired from her short-lived position as their film critic.
 The book also features a smaller collection of synopses (as opposed to full-length reviews) of little-known movies, some of which are also printed in Kael's "5001 Nights at the Movies".
"Raising Kane" is a 1971 book-length essay by American film critic Pauline Kael, in which she revived controversy over the authorship of the screenplay for the 1941 film "Citizen Kane".
 Kael celebrated screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, first-credited co-author of the screenplay, and denigrated the contributions of Orson Welles, who co-wrote, produced and directed the film, and performed the lead role.
 The 50,000-word essay was written for "The Citizen Kane Book" (1971), as an extended introduction to the shooting script by Mankiewicz and Welles.
 It first appeared in February 1971 in two consecutive issues of "The New Yorker" magazine.
 In the ensuing controversy Welles was defended by colleagues, critics, biographers and scholars, but his reputation was damaged by its charges.
 The essay was later discredited after Welles's contributions to the screenplay were documented and Kael's own scholarship was called into question.
The Quest for Christa T. ("Nachdenken über Christa T.") is a 1968 novel by German writer Christa Wolf that follows two childhood friends from the second World War into the 1960s in East Germany.
 Stylistically it demonstrates a subjectivist experimentation in prose characteristic of GDR literature of the 1960s.
 According to the 2013 exhibition "David Bowie Is," the novel is one of David Bowie's top 100 books.
The Florida Film Critics Circle (FFCC) is a film critic organization founded in 1996.
 The FFCC comprises 30 film critics from Florida-based print and online publications.
 At the end of each year, the FFCC members vote on the Florida Film Critics Circle Awards for outstanding achievements in films released that year.
 The organization also awards the Pauline Kael Breakout Award, named after film critic Pauline Kael, and the Golden Orange Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film.
 The FFCC membership includes film critics from "Miami Herald", "Miami New Times", "Folio Weekly", "Bloody Disgusting", "WJNO Radio", "WTVT", "The Daytona Beach News-Journal", and "Tampa Bay Times".
Christa Wolf (née Ihlenfeld; 18 March 1929, Landsberg an der Warthe – 1 December 2011, Berlin) was a German literary critic, novelist, and essayist.
 She was one of the best-known writers to emerge from the former East Germany.
Movie Love (1991) is the tenth and last collection of film reviews by the critic Pauline Kael and covers the period from October 1988 to March 1991, when she chose to retire from her regular film reviewing duties at "The New Yorker".
 In the "Author's Note" that begins the anthology, Kael writes that this period had "not been a time of great moviemaking fervor", but "what has been sustaining is that there is so much to love in movies besides great moviemaking."
Pauline Kael ( ; June 19, 1919 – September 3, 2001) was an American film critic who wrote for "The New Yorker" magazine from 1968 to 1991.
 Kael was known for her "witty, biting, highly opinionated and sharply focused" reviews, her opinions often contrary to those of her contemporaries.
 She is regarded as one of the most influential American film critics of her day.
Afterglow: A Last Conversation with Pauline Kael (2003) is among the last publicly available materials to gather film critic Pauline Kael's thoughts on the movie medium, prior to her death on September 3, 2001.
 The book was prepared by jazz critic Francis Davis.
 In it, she describes her affinity for the new works of directors such as Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson and David O. Russell, showing an appreciation for "Pulp Fiction", "Jackie Brown", the first half of "Boogie Nights", "Magnolia", and "Three Kings".
 She also favorably considers the television shows "Sex and the City" and the first season of "The Sopranos".
 She laments what she considers to be the declining quality of Steven Spielberg's and Martin Scorsese's recent work.
