Question: Are both director of film We Are The Marines and director of film Proteus (2003 Film) from the same country?

It was produced and directed by Louis De Rochemont and distributed by 20th Century Fox. We Are the Marines is a 1942 full- length documentary film produced by" The March of Time". <SEP> Ian Barry is an Australian director of film and TV. <SEP> Although the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2003, it did not have a general theatrical release until 2005. The film is based on an early 18th century court record from Cape Town. The film also attempts to explore unanswered questions, such as why prison officials tolerated the relationship for a full decade before Blank and Jacobsz were executed. ( In an interview packaged with the DVD release, John Greyson notes the real Blank and Jacobsz began their relationship when they were both teenagers- Blank having been imprisoned on Robben Island at age 16- and were actually known to be a couple for twenty years before they were charged with sodomy and executed, when they were both nearly 40.) Intentional anachronisms- such as transistor radios, electric typewriters and jeeps- are also used in the film to illustrate Greyson's larger theme that homophobia and racism of the type that led to Blank's and Jacobsz' executions are still very much present in today's world. These twentieth- century objects, including modern( c. 1964) dress on many occasions, are invariably presented in juxtaposition with eighteenth- century items. Proteus is a film by Canadian director John Greyson. The eighteenth- century prison commandant, for example, is replaced by a former subordinate, who wears a twentieth- century guard's uniform and is often accompanied by a fierce- looking Alsatian on a short lead. A' wetbag' is seen, as it was used as a torture devise in Apartheid South Africa. An extract from the speech Nelson Mandela made at his sentencing hearing in 1964, before he was imprisoned on Robben Island, is displayed at the end of the film. <SEP> Greyson is also a professor at York University's film school, where he teaches film and video theory, film production, and editing. He was part of a loosely- affiliated group of filmmakers to emerge in the 1980s from Toronto known as the Toronto New Wave. John Greyson( born March 13, 1960) is a Canadian director, writer, video artist, producer, and political activist, whose work frequently deals with gay themes. Greyson has won accolades and achieved critical success with his films —most notably" Zero Patience"( 1993) and" Lilies"( 1996). His outspoken persona, activism, and public image have also attracted international press and controversy. <SEP> Paul Taylor is a British director of the award- winning documentary film" We Are Together". <SEP> His brother, Richard, was also a producer and writer on" The March of Time". The de Rochemonts were descended from Huguenot ancestors who settled in New Hampshire early in the nineteenth century. Born in 1899, the son of a Boston attorney, he grew up in small- town Massachusetts. Louis de Rochemont( January 13, 1899 – December 23, 1978) was an American film maker known for creating, along with Roy E. Larsen from Time, Inc., the monthly theatrically shown newsreels" The March of Time". His film career began when, still a teenager, he filmed his New England neighbours and sold the footage to local theatres under the title" See Yourself as Others See You". The newsreels he created defined film news from 1935- 51. The 20- minute films, which combined filmed news with interpretive interviews and dramatizations, appeared between featured films in theaters. When he moved from newsreels to feature films, de Rochemont chose to produce films based on real stories in actual locations, often with locals in the cast. After three spy films that helped define film noir, including" The House on 92nd Street"( 1945), he produced a wide array of feature films such as the semi-documentary" Boomerang"( 1947). He has been called the" father of the docu- drama." His early documentary productions won 2 Academy Awards. " Windjammer"( 1958) was produced by Louis de Rochemont and directed by his son, Louis de Rochemont III. Louis de Rochemont also produced" The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone"( 1962). In March 1951, de Rochemont's production company purchased the animated film rights to George Orwell's" Animal Farm", and de Rochemont was heavily involved in the artistic direction of the animated film. de Rochemont's firm acted as a" front" for the Central Intelligence Agency, the actual funder/ producer of this film.
