Queer as Folk (US) Locations - Main Locations
This part includes Babylon, Woody's, Liberty Diner, gyms, houses, workplaces and schools. Most of these places are only for outdoor scenes. The indoor was shot on studio or other locations.
The Hangouts
1. Babylon
The entrance of the club is on Duncan Street, and the pole where Justin leans on is on the corner of Duncan Street and Nelson Street. I'm not sure if the pole still exists, and the parking lot is now a building. (from episode 101)
2. Woody's
Woody's (and Moosies in episode 413) is at 467 Church Street. (from episode 102)
3. Liberty Diner
During the show, the diner is on two locations. On season 1-2, the diner is at 894 Queen Street West. On season 3-4, the diner moves to 354 King Street East. (from episode 102 and 409)
4. The Gym
The gym is also on two locations. On season 1, the gang works out at 675 Yonge Street. Later, they work out on other gym at 258 The Esplanade. It seems that both gyms are no longer exist. (from episode 102 and 403)
The Houses
5. Brian's loft
Brian lives at 6 Church Street. (from episode 307)
6. Michael's apartment and house
Michael and Emmett, and later with Ben and Hunter lives at 7 Glen Road. On season 5, the boys move to Brooklyn Avenue. (from episode 314 and 501)
7. Melanie and Lindsay's house
During the show, the girls and Gus live in two houses. The first one, on season 1, 3-5, they live at 178 Crawford Street. On season 2, they live on Kendal Avenue. (from episode 513 and 213)
However, it seems that the second house is also where Lindsay's parents live. (from episode 207 and 213)
8. Debbie's house
Debbie's house is the most inconsistent during the show. I noticed that there are five houses and three back parts of the house.
On season 1, Debbie, Vic and later Justin live on Beatrice Street. However, I cannot locate the alleys/backyard where other scenes take place. (from episode 108, 117 and 121)
On season 2, Debbie and Vic move to 87 Crawford Street. The backyard where they rake the leaves is on Lane South Queen East Shaw. (from episode 214 and 207)
On season 4, Debbie and Emmett live in two houses. The first one is on Bellwoods Avenue. The second one is on Heward Avenue. (from episode 406 and 412)
On season 5, Debbie and Emmett live on Bertmount Avenue. (from episode 501)
9. Justin's house (and Daphne's)
On season 1, The Taylors live on Bobwhite Crescent. After they sell the house, they move to Mendota Road. (from episode 102 and 201)
Daphne lives on Bobwhite Crescent, too. Just like the OG UK version, where the teens live on the same street. (from episode 104)
10. Vic and Rodney's house
The men now get their own place on Gloucester Street. (from episode 405 and 406)
11. Other places
David and Michael live on Taylorwood Drive
The Kinneys live on Lanor Avenue
Ben lives in an apartment on St. Joseph Street, but that particular scene is on Irwin Avenue
(from episode 111, 115 and 209)
The Workplaces and Schools
12. Brian's office and Kinnetik
The show wants us to think that Brian works on Metro Hall. However, I'm not sure if both Ryder Advertising and Vangard Advertising are in there. It looks like both places are inside other actual building rather than studio. (from episode 114, 217 and 306)
Later, Brian opens his own agency, Kinnetik, on ex Bathhouse on Nicholson Lane. (from episode 403)
13. Melanie's office
Melanie and the partners' law firm is at 3 Sultan Street. (from episode 121)
14. Michael's supermarket and comic book store
Michael used to work at Big Q, which was on actual store called Zellers at 1255 The Queensway (now closed). Later, he opens his own comic book store at 607A Queen Street West. (from episode 112 and 409)
15. Other places
Emmett works at Torso, which is at 880 Queen Street West (near the Diner on season 1-2).
The source says that the classes scenes are in Seneca College. However, I cannot locate those places.
16. Justin and Daphne's school
They studied at Ursula Franklin Academy. Some scenes were taken on Evelyn Crescent. (from episode 104)
17. Hunter's school
On season 3-4, The Susquehanna High School is on Jarvis Collegiate Institute, 495 Jarvis Street. On season 5, it looks like Hunter goes to different school, which I cannot locate. (from episode 313 and 505)

"Thomasine & Bushrod" (1974) is a romance-western film written by Max Julien and directed by Gordon Parks Jr. The movie is a spin on the 1967 classic, "Bonnie & Clyde." Julien and Vonetta McGee team up in an underrated film that ventures into the Wild West, where these two lovers commit a streak of crimes over four years. A year removed from his iconic role as Goldie in the 1973 film, "The Mack," Julien continues to expand his versatility as an actor and writer. However, this was Julien's last role until 1997, when he played Uncle Fred in "How to be A Player."
McGee was in the prime of her career as she had established herself as a well-respected actress. The further I look into her career and roles, the more I am impressed. She was a phenomenal individual and easily one of the best actresses of the 1970s. Her role as Thomasine was authentic. She identified well with her character and delivered on multiple levels throughout the film.
Juanita Moore and Glynn Turman also appear in the movie, adding to a remarkable and dynamic cast. But, unfortunately, like many black films that make films that spin on other major Hollywood productions, their budgets are not comparable. However, this film is a solid adaption, which also took advantage of the booming blaxploitation era of cinema. It's an entertaining movie, so I recommend it to you.
Director: Gordon Parks Jr.
Writer: Max Julien
Composed by: Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson
Title Song: "Thomasine & Bushrod" by Arthur Lee
Starring Max Julien, Vonetta McGee, George Murdock, Glynn Turman, Juanita Moore, Joel Fluellen, Jason Bernard, Jackson D. Kane, Bud Conlan, Kip Allen, Ben Zeller
Storyline
While jailed, Thomasine (Vonetta McGee) sees a wanted poster of her boyfriend, Bushrod (Max Julien). She tracks him down, and they rekindle their relationship together. However, after Bushrod kills a notorious murderer, U.S. Marshal Bogardie (George Murdock) steps in and attempts to arrest Bushrod until Thomasine intervenes. Now, fugitives of the law, Thomasine and Bushrod, go on a bank robbing spree while the U.S. Marshall tracks them down.
Available on DVD and streaming services

Movie Reviews:
GenerationofSwine: Tombstone was a different beast, and that sort of overshadows this, given that one tries to be more accurate and the other goes for entertainment.
Take Wyatt Earp as a biopic and it is a superb and fair film. Compare it to Tombstone which was more of a Western and it’s lacking the flair.
However, it ends abruptly, and it is miscast. Cosner (and i am a fan) doesn’t really make a good Earp. Dennis Quaid who I am also a fan of, doesn’t make a good Doc. This was 1994, in the 80s I might have a dif...

[Theater] Mit der S-Bahn ins Kleine Haus in Gießen
Nach Woyzeck dachte ich mir, gebe ich auch dem Kleinen Haus mal wieder eine Chance. So ein bisschen Angst hatte ich ja schon, da das Schauspiel für mich nicht ganz ans Musiktheater heranreicht. Aber irgendwie nach „Woyzeck“ und vor allem „Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer“ war für mich klar, da muss ich dann doch hin.
Gesagt getan, mal wieder eine andere Freundin eingepackt und erstmal zusammen einen Tee im Foyer getrunken. Meine erste Feststellung war, es wird voll im Kleinen Haus und ganz ehrlich, dies freut mich sehr, denn dies zeigt einmal mehr, dass Theater anziehend sein kann, und noch immer ist.
Die Einführung zu „Einsame Menschen“ machte diesmal Simone Sterr, möglicher Weise da Lena Meyerhoff, die Dramaturgin des Stückes, leider erkrankt war. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass es nichts Schlimmes ist. Frau Sterr hat die Einführung gut gemacht. Vielleicht war sie am Anfang noch nicht ganz, ich sag mal, eingegroovt in das Stück, aber das gab sich schnell. Sie hat einiges über Felicia Zeller erzählt, die den Theatertext in der jetzigen Form geschrieben hat. Da kam dann meine große Angst wieder hoch. Einen klassischen Text von Gerhart Hauptmann in das Hier und Jetzt zu bringen, das kann auch mal gewaltig nach hinten losgehen. Trotzdem war ich irgendwie auch neugierig, was mich da erwartet. Vor allem diese angefangenen Sätze kenne ich ja auch, wenn mein Kopf schneller ist, als meine Zunge. Das ist beim Kritiken schreiben manchmal noch schlimmer, denn meine Finger sind nun noch langsamer als meine Zunge. Dies führt manchmal doch zu dem ein oder anderen Schmunzler in meiner Umgebung. Dies macht dann auch immer jede Kritik oder Rezension so anders, denn ich weiß nie so wirklich wo es hingeht mit meiner Kritik, erst dann wenn die Kritik fertig geschrieben ist.

Die Geschichte erzählt im Endeffekt, das wonach wir alle irgendwie streben. Da ist das Idealbild von Familie und Kind, dafür aber trotzdem nicht im Beruf und im Privaten nachgeben. Da sind unsere Ideale die wir bitte nicht vergessen. Im Falle dieser Geschichte wird dies in der beruflich erfolgreiche Marie dargestellt, die von Germaine Sollberger gespielt wird. Sie ist auch noch eine reiche Erbin und hat ein Gelände mit einer alten Villa darauf gekauft, welche direkt an einem See und Wald liegt und dazu noch einen S-Bahnanschluss hat. Ganz nebenbei ist sie noch schwanger, zumindest am Anfang, mit einem Kind, welches sie mit Gerhart hat, der noch immer an seiner Doktorarbeit schreibt. Ich habe das Gefühl, er hat mit Ende dreißig noch nicht mal angefangen, sie zu schreiben. Immer wieder formuliert er alleine schon den Titel der Arbeit um, welches er sehr gestenreich macht, und in einer Geschwindigkeit, die bei mir schon einen Knoten im Hirn erzeugt. Da sind wir dann auch schon beim Kritikpunkt an Levent Kelleli. Ich glaube, er hatte zweimal einen Texthänger. Es war nicht schlimm, aber vielleicht wäre es sinnvoll, an der ein oder anderen Textstelle vielleicht ein wenig langsamer zu sprechen, und dafür dann diese auch wirklich schwierigen Passagen noch besser zu meistern. Aber ganz ehrlich. Ich hätte mir schon in den ersten zwei Minuten mehr als einmal einen Knoten in die Zunge geredet. Er hat es wirklich geschafft, die Worte klar und deutlich zu artikulieren. Wie gesagt, die zwei Stellen waren halt mal ein kleiner Hänger.
Seine Mutter Erika wurde von Carolin Weber gespielt. Ich kann ja mit solchen Esoterikmenschen eher weniger etwas anfangen. Aber die tänzelnde Erika mit ihren kleinen Schritten und ihrer echt stark überspitzten Persönlichkeit war dann doch sehr angenehm.
Ben Janssen spielte Bölsche, ein Freund von Marie und Gerhart, der ein Umweltaktivist ist und durchaus ein kleiner Tollpatsch. Als er zu Marie am Ende sagte, dass wenn er seine Gipsverbände ab hätte, dann werde er richtig Gas geben und den Wald schützen, und sie überreden wollte, in ein Baumhaus zu ziehen und mit ihm für das Überleben des alten Waldes zu kämpfen, musste ich echt an mich halten. Denn bis er ohne Gips ist, ist wahrscheinlich der Regenwald komplett abgeholzt und das Baby von Marie und Gerhart hat sein Studium beendet. Gestartet ist Bölsche mit einem Gipsbein und es kamen noch ein Armbruch und eine Halskrause dazu, bis das Stück in den letzten Teil einbog.
Margarete wurde von Amina Eisner gespielt. Sie will in die Villa mit einziehen, denn eigentlich soll daraus ein Co-Worker-Space für Backpacker werden. Sie freundet sich mit Gerhart an und bringt in ihm besondere Seiten zum Klingen. Er kleidet sich besser, macht Sport und so einige andere Dinge mehr, und natürlich stört sie ihn nicht. Seine Freundin Marie und sein Baby Fritz hingegen stören ihn doch sehr und er erfindet immer wieder neue Ausreden, um sich vor dem Helfen zu drücken.
Es sind zwei wirklich kurzweilige Stunden, wo ich noch einiges schreiben und erzählen könnte. Die Zeit verging wie im Fluge und man wurde gut unterhalten. Die Stimmen waren besonders beim Singen wirklich sehr gut, richtig klar. Vor allem Carolin Weber, aber auch Germaine Sollberger stachen in meinen Ohren ein wenig heraus. Wobei jeder der Schauspieler ein paar Szenen hatte, wo ich wirklich dachte, das ist extrem gut.
Das Bühnenbild war einfach, aber gut. Man konnte immer sehr gut erkennen, wo man sich gerade befand, wobei da schon einiges an Dreck auf der Bühne war, nachdem das Stück zu Ende war. Es war auch wirklich ein langer Applaus im Kleinen Haus und es war voll und ich kann verstehen warum. Die Schauspieler waren diesmal wirklich gut. Es wurde zwar schnell gesprochen und man hat sicher den ein oder anderen Satz im Kopf beendet, der unausgesprochen von den Schauspielern gesagt wurde. Und irgendwie waren sie alle ein wenig einsam, da sie sich nie wirklich richtig ausgedrückt haben und dem einen oder dem anderen vielleicht nicht alles gesagt haben.
Es war trotzdem nicht hektisch auf der Bühne und wie das Ganze endet werde ich sicherlich nicht verraten, denn ich hoffe, dass die ein oder andere S-Bahn, oder in Gießen wohl eher ein Stadtbus, am Kleinen Haus hält und dort noch viele Menschen aussteigen lässt, denn dieses Stück, unter der Regie von Anaїs Durand-Mauptit und der Dramaturgie von Lena Meyerhoff, hat noch einige Vorstellungen verdient. Es gibt nur noch drei Vorstellungen und bei fast allen nur noch Restkarten. Ich fände es schade, wenn sie diese Vorstellungen versäumen und irgendwie würde ich mich freuen, wenn noch die ein oder andere Vorstellung dazu käme.

Inspiration | Research | References
I was very excited to shoot this script because for our previous films we as students were lighting and trying to shoot a film in a "fancy" way with "fancy" lighting. However, I realized I did not know how to light a scene in a natural way. Making it look like our usual day. Keeping this in mind I still wanted to make the visual attractive therefore the first film which came to my mind was "The Father" directed by Florian Zeller and shot by Ben Smithard. The film is so beautifully shot with high contrast and natural lighting. The colors and production design beautifully work with the visuals and convey so much meaning in the film.
Therefore "The Father" became my main inspiration for our film Carpe Diam. My main goal in this film was to light from the outside and to create fake sunlight. This was a very difficult task as it completely depended on the location we would get. I wanted the visuals to have high contrast on the character's faces and create a look that works with the story's emotion. The story has immense tension between characters which portrays broken relationships, hence my go-to color to emote this emotion was blue. Now in further development, I realized I did not want to give the whole image a blue color by changing the white balance as I would lose the essence of a natural daylighting scene. Hence I decided I would have tints of blue and also portray the color blue with the help of production design. I and Jess worked closely with the costume and the color of the props. I also want to color grade this project as this is the time I can learn, therefore I am going to shoot the film in LOG and color grade it. This is the reason my maximum time I have been researching how to color grade and make the most out of the visuals for this film.

Week 9 Blog
Same/Difference poster:
This week we finished up the last critiques of our same-difference posters. over the past few weeks, I have really enjoyed this project and I’ve found myself inspired by my other classmates. I know one other girl is also doing a language-based sign, and Ben is creating a holographic/gradient design. I think it really shows how inspiring art can be when we all are together in the classroom. This project has also helped me improve my photoshop skills, now that I can subtract layers and shapes! I think this version of my poster will be the final draft, after a few edits.
Reading response (CH 8):
For this week’s textbook reading, I found myself invested in the different generations of graphic designers and their work with digital typography. I realized while reading about designers struggling with transferring their typography onto digital spaces while attempting to keep up with the advancements in technology, that I only ever considered typography as digital. Of course, type has been around for thousands of years before computers, but my education is mostly centered on the digital type. I cannot imagine the difficulty graphic designers must have faced when trying to deal with pixels, resolutions, and digital techniques of transferring typeface back to the beginning of the digital world.

Festival del Cinema di Venezia 2022, al via l'edizione numero 79
90 anni di Festival, 90 anni in questo 2022 per il Festival del Cinema a Venezia. 90 anni dove il mondo cinematografico si riunisce per uno degli appuntamenti più importanti dell'anno.
Un po' di storia
Sono 79 le edizioni per il Festival del Cinema di Venezia che festeggia anche i "90 anni di attività". Era, infatti, il 6 Agosto 1932 quando per la prima volta si aprì la Mostra internazionale d'arte cinematografica di Venezia. Di chi fu però l'idea di creare questa mostra? Il festival nacque da un'idea dell'allora presidente della Biennale di Venezia, il conte Giuseppe Volpi, dello scultore Antonio Maraini, segretario generale, e di Luciano De Feo, il già fondatore de L'Unione Cinematografica Educativa, ed a quel tempo direttore dell'Istituto internazionale per la cinematografia educativa, emanazione della Società delle Nazioni con sede a Roma. I tre furono concordi sull'idea di svolgere la rassegna nella città lagunare.
Il successo della prima edizione fu anche grazie ai tanti personaggi di spicco che apparivano attraverso le pellicole proiettate. Si parla dei maggiori divi internazionali dell'epoca: Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Fredric March, Wallace Beery, Norma Shearer, James Cagney, Ronald Colman, Loretta Young, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, senza dimenticare l'idolo italiano Vittorio De Sica e Boris Karloff che tutti quanti noi ricordiamo soprattuto per il suo ruolo del mostro nel primo Frankenstein. Il primo film proiettato fu "Il dottor Jekyll (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)" di Rouben Mamoulian
Festival del Cinema di Venezia 2022, edizione numero 79
Torniamo al presente, però, per parlare di questa 79esima edizione e di cosa offrirà. Prima di tutto, dopo due anni di limitazioni, torna il "red carpet" in tutto il suo splendore. Addio, infatti, a tutti quei veti che non avevano fatto godere al pubblico della mostra la bellezza del tappetto rosso e dei grandi protagonisti del mondo del cinema. Si torna a fare foto e chiedere autografi ma soprattutto il grande spettacolo di un tappetto rosso splendente.
A proposito di protagonisti, ecco a voi una rapida lista dei ben 23 film in concorso in questa 79esima edizione del Festival:
- All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, regia di Laura Poitras (Stati Uniti d'America)

La madrina e la giuria della 79esima Mostra del Cinema di Venezia
Venezia è pronta, il film sono pronti: cosa manca? La madrina e la giuria. Partiamo con Rocío Muñoz Morales, l'attrice spagnola sarà la madrina di questa edizione della Mostra del Cinema di Venezia. Dopo aver calcato il palco di Sanremo, per l'attrice altro traguardo di grande importanza che saprà sicuramente gestire al meglio e senza problemi.
La base di ogni festival è la giuria, quella di Venezia è sempre stellare e questo 2022 non fa assolutamente eccezione. A "capo" della giuria ci sarà Julianne Moore, star americana già Coppa Volpi nel 2003 per Lontano dal paradiso. Con lei avremo poi Audrey Diwan, vinci trice lo scorso anno del Leone d’Oro per il suo L’evenement – La scelta di Anne. Spazio per Kazuo Ishiguro, premio Nobel per la Letteratura nel 2017. E ancora, ci saranno Mariano Cohn, Leila Hatami, Rodrigo Sorogoyen e Leonardo Di Costanzo.
