Filmmakers rolls on after summer deficit

With lacquered lips and vintage high heels, 10 Chinese models clad in traditional cheongsams used Bigelow Boulevard as their cat walk this weekend.

The fashion show was one of the highlights of the inaugural Pittsburgh Chinese Cultural Festival. The festival’s organizers wanted the event to promote Chinese culture in Pittsburgh and bring the members of the Chinese community together, according to Dequan Jiao, the president of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology Pittsburgh Chapter (CASTP), one of the groups that organized the event. The festival featured a grand stage for performances, 27 individual booths for cultural products and educational booths from the festival’s organizers. The Chinese government helped with the planning of this event and sponsored an art exhibit booth at the festival.

Along Bigelow Boulevard between Fifth Avenue and Forbes Avenue Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., visitors watched martial arts displays, Peking Opera, a type of Chinese opera, oral rhymes and soloists playing on zithers — stringed instruments that are ancestors of the guitar.

After a shaky summer, the cameras are now rolling better than ever at Pittsburgh Filmmakers.

Pittsburgh Filmmakers, a nonprofit organization that offers forcredit film and production classes to Pitt students, hit a revenue deficit of $754,868 in May because of lost income and special project spending.

In response, John Cantine, director of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers school, said the organization laid off 20 employees. Filmmakers, which is located on Melwood Avenue, also canceled seven of 24 classes it offered this sum-

mer — according to its website.

Now, though, with an influx of students and tuition money, Filmmakers will again offer filmmaking, photography and studio arts classes to about 130 Pitt students. Looking to add revenue after the setback, the organization is also offering short classes to the public and is attempting to increase the number of classes it can offer to Pitt students for credit, according to Cantine. Pitt students can attend class at Filmmakers through the College of General Studies or the College of Arts and Sciences. When they do, Pitt transfers the money the student would have paid for a class at

Pitt to Filmmakers.

Filmmakers pulls in more than 50 percent of its revenue from tuition, according to Cantine. During the summer months, that revenue stream dries up, which was part of the reason for the layoffs. Pitt spokesperson John Fedele would not say how much the school pays Filmmakers in tuition each year, but Dorinda Sankey, director of administration at Filmmakers, said the organization pulled in a total of $481,929 in tuition from nine Pittsburgh colleges and universities during the 2014-2015 school year.

Festival, pg. 2 Lillie Rana, a senior majoring in Chinese, was most drawn to the demonstration of Tai Chi, a slow-paced form of martial arts.

“Tai Chi is something that I feel a lot of people know about but don’t have a lot of experience with, so it was a good way to introduce it to them,” Rana said.

Other groups, such as Steel Dragon, a Pittsburgh-based dragon and lion dance troupe, also brought their acts to life with a red and gold cloth lion that constantly provoked and winked at the audience as it leaped and shimmied to a boisterous drumbeat.

For Yuzhe Bai, a fifth year biology major, the food display was most appealing, and Little Asia’s spread caught his eye.

“Little Asia’s rou jia mo is probably the most popular here. As you can see, there is always a line here,” Bai said as he stood in line.

broidery, papercutting and dough figurines, sponsored by the Chinese government. The Pittsburgh government invited Chinese folk artists straight from Wuhan, Pittsburgh’s sister city in China since 1982.

The two cities collaborate on arts and education, urban transformation, innovation and sustainable development ideas, according to Mayor Peduto’s website. The folk artists demonstrated to the audience how to embroider, cut paper and make dough figurines in real time.

Ji, who is in his 70s, dedicated much of his retired life to building a tight-knit Chinese community in Pittsburgh. He recruited more than 80 students from Pitt, CMU and some local high schools as volunteers for the event.

After immigrating to the United States more than two decades ago, Ji said he has a lesson or two to teach young Chinese students here.

“We Chinese sometimes victimize ourselves. We tend to dwell on the fact that we are the minority. We think we don’t fit in,” Ji said. “But ... we need to let others see the good in Chinese culture. This festival is exactly what we need to empower the Chinese in Pittsburgh, to empower them to claim ownership over the city that they live in and love deeply. ”

Filmmakers, pg. 1 ers usually caps Pitt enrollment at 130 to 150 students per semester, which is its current enrolment.

“From May to September, we live on what’s left over, which is always an issue,” Cantine said.

To avoid the layoffs, Filmmakers tried cutting costs and increased its line of credit, according to Cantine.

Filmmakers asked 12 full-time and eight part-time employees to take a furlough for the summer on June 2, Sankey said, anticipating they’d come back in the fall.

Unlike years past, however, Filmmakers had to cover an above average number of one-time costs this year, for things such as broken air conditioners.

The repair costs led to an inability to make payroll, according to Cantine.

“It just turned out to be this perfect storm,” Cantine said.

Since the beginning of this month, nearly all 20 of the employees that left in June have returned. The financial situation at Filmmakers is returning to normalcy, although $321,101 is still in deprecation, Sankey said.

To avoid layoffs next summer, Filmmakers is initiating a variety of new classes. These will include one-day, sixweek and 14-week courses open to the public on introductory topics like photography, Adobe Photoshop and film editing, Cantine said.

Students cannot receive credit for these classes, as they will be shorter than a semester.

Currently, Pitt’s film studies program requires film majors to take a production class at Filmmakers. Students can count up to five classes, including Cinematography and Directing Actors, at Filmmakers toward the film studies major, according to Pitt professor Robert Clift, who works closely with the organization.

According to Clift, he and Cantine pittnews.com

September 21, 2015

are working to expand the number of classes students can take at Filmmakers to seven or eight, letting students spend more time behind a camera or in a production lab and allowing Filmmakers to receive more money annually in tuition. With the expansion, Pitt wouldn’t increase the enrollment cap, but would let the same students take more classes per year, according to Clift.

The school at Filmmakers offers a sound stage, a screening theater, an equipment rental office and multiple editing offices.

For Pitt film students, Filmmakers’ rebound means they’ll still be able leave the confines of the traditional classroom. Brandi Williams, a sophomore film studies and chemistry major, took Motion Picture Fundamentals at Filmmakers last fall, where she got to create and direct her own short films.

“For many of us, that was our first opportunity to create productions of our own,” Williams said.

In Motion Picture Fundamentals, Williams created a music video for Vance Joy’s “Riptide,” in which she featured a classmate and shot Downtown.

“The classes required at Pitt are very essential in the analysis of film,” Williams said. “But [they don’t] give you the opportunity to produce films.”

The potential increase in class options within the film studies major will make strides toward bridging that gap between analysis and production, Clift said.

Nancy Yim, a sophomore biology major, took Black and White Photography at Filmmakers last fall. She said taking an off-campus class exposed her to “more interesting” people and places to photograph.

“You have more freedom to express and find your photographic style in ways that do not always include streets bustling with college students or newly renovated buildings,” Yim said.

Opinions from the editorial board

Planned Parenthood freeze has chilling consequences Congress has put Planned Parenthood in timeout — deciding to freeze its funding after the House Judiciary Committee’s first hearing, “Planned Parenthood Exposed: Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation’s Largest Abortion Provider.”

Sounds objective, right? Planned Parenthood probably would have protested this title — if the committee had invited the group to testify.

This is only the latest plot twist in the horror story, “Republicans Hate Planned Parenthood and Will Defund It at Any Cost.” What we previously dismissed as unfactual, unfounded rhetoric will now have significant repercussions on our nation’s health. All it takes is five minutes of research to know how much Planned Parenthood benefits our country, so why is Congress running at it like townspeople with pitchforks?

The freeze in funding is supposed to give Congress time to investigate claims that Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue for profit. By doing so, Congress swallows the evidence and punishes the group without a fair case.

Futhermore, the vote freezing Planned Parenthood’s federal funding followed several hours of emotional floor speeches providing graphic descriptions of botched abortions. But how was this an objective representation of Planned Parenthood?

First-trimester abortions have almost no health risks. Also, Planned pittnews.com

Parenthood cannot use its Title X funding toward abortions and can only use Medicaid funding in extreme cases, such as rape or incest. More so, abortions only accounted for 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services from 2013 to 2014.

The rest of its services go toward providing vital, necessary and affordable health care for women and men such as STI/STD testing and treatment, providing contraception, prenatal services, cancer screening and family planning practices, such as adoption referrals.

When the government freezes funding to Planned Parenthood, it isn’t reforming its abortion practices or protecting fetal tissue, but rather freezing access to these vital health services for the women who need it most.

Among the 20 million women in need of publicly funded contraceptive care, 77 percent were low-income adults and 23 percent were younger than 20.

There are 61 million U.S. women in their childbearing years — between 15 and 44. About 70 percent are at risk of unintended pregnancy. The number of women at risk of an unwanted pregnancy who were not using a contraceptive method is highest among 15- to 19-year-olds, at 18 percent.

Planned Parenthood averts an estimated 515,000 of unintended pregnancies each year, according to its

TNS

“By the Numbers” fact sheet. It also averted an estimated 216,000 abortions through its contraceptive services each year.

For teens and young adults, access to the services Planned Parenthood provides can play a large role in educational prospects, as 30 percent of all female high school dropouts left school due to unintended pregnancies.

After graduation, an estimated 10 to 20 percent more women enrolled in college at age 21 as a result of expanded access to the pill during the 1970s. According to The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, these women were also one-third less likely to drop out within the first year, and enrollment in job training programs also increased by 15 percent.

September 21, 2015

Recent research has also determined that each year of delayed childbearing results in a 3 percent increase in weekly wages and a 9 percent increase in career earnings, even after accounting for differences in other background characteristics that could affect women’s earnings, according to The National Campaign.

Without Planned Parenthood, most of these women would be unable to access these resources. Seventynine percent of Planned Parenthood patients have incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level.

Freezing funding to Planned Parenthood isn’t a noble act that takes a critical look at where taxpayer’s dollars are going. It’s a biased, rhetoricdriven move that harms taxpayers.

To frame the freeze any other way is the truly “horrific” practice.

political outsiders can’t change the system Henry Glitz

For The Pitt News

To get to the White House in 2016, candidates need to exploit a nationwide anti-Washington sentiment.

It’s at the core of campaigns for an unusually high number of political outsiders making noise in the primaries — Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Donald Trump.

Association with the government gridlock is now the equivalent of political suicide. Trump and Carson currently lead Republican polls — Trump is at 28.5 percent and Carson is at 18.8 percent. Fiorina, the other advertised “outsider,” is sixth in the polls with 6.3 percent of votes. Surprisingly, Bernie Sanders has escalated in polls as a result of his outsider image, despite his long history in politics. Sanders follows Clinton in Democratic polls with 23.3 percent of votes and has been involved in politics since 1971.

Oddly enough, much of the excitement about these candidates’ apparent “ability to tell the truth” comes from the same demographic that blasted President Obama’s pre-presidential political resumé as insufficient.

President Obama’s 2008 candidacy was also in many ways a product and an agent of the newfound electoral preference for outsiders. His unconventional approach to the race eschewed a corporate-type campaign for an ad hoc feel, emphasizing his lack of connection with the political elite to his grassroots supporters on the left. This approach, which played a large part in attracting the highest voter turnout for a U.S. presidential election since 1968, gave Obama the largest electoral victory of any Democrat since 1964.

trasted with front-runner Hillary Clinton as the anti-corporate candidate in the Democratic Primary and the left’s own political outsider.

Nevertheless, Sanders has been a member of Congress since 1991 and has been involved in politics since 1971 — hardly a stranger to bureaucracy.

Even Clinton has attempted to hold claim to outsider status.

“I cannot imagine anyone being more of an outsider than the first woman president,” Clinton said during an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

The Tea Party holds some responsibility for the wave of inexperience flooding the political forum today. The supposedly grassroots, anti-establishment movement put a marked emphasis at its development on fielding nonpoliticians as its candidates.

The Tea Party even lists the need for “Political offices to be available to average citizens” on an official list of 15 “non-negotiable core beliefs” laid out on its website.

What voters need to realize is that they, not a flashy politician, are the most important outsiders in American politics. Voting and other means of political action are among the most important duties we have as citizens.

Only 36.4 percent of eligible voters cast their ballot in the 2014 midterm congressional elections, a share lower than any national election in the United States since the wartime 1942 elections.

No candidate can fix our disillusionment with the political system.

Casting a vote for a candidate simply because they are an “outsider” isn’t so much noble as it is gimmicky.

Running game Pitt beats North Carolina State 2-0 woes must be fixed for Pitt success Stephen Caruso

Assistant Sports Editor

Losing on a 57-yard field goal is tough.

Head coach Pat Narduzzi thinks the team can handle it.

“We talked about being a tough-ass team, and that’s what our kids were today,” Narduzzi said.

Toughness, however, won’t cover up the fact that Pitt had many opportunities to make sure its 27-24 road loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes didn’t come down to a long field goal. Pitt’s running offense — or lack thereof — is what hurt the team most against Iowa. Pitt managed only 55 yards on the ground on 27 carries, for an average of two yards per carry, with no rushing touchdowns.

Coming into the year with a full stable of backs — including James Conner, Rachid Ibrahim, Chris James and two talented freshmen, Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall — rushing yards seemed easy to come by.

But Ibrahim tore his ACL in training camp, and Conner is out for the year with an MCL injury following the season opener against Youngstown State.

And even though losing a Maxwell Award Watch List athlete like Conner is difficult, Qadree Ollison’s 207 yards against Youngstown State — and Pitt’s 7.6

Ambrose Urbanic Field is finally starting to feel like home to Pitt women’s soccer.

With a 2-0 victory on Sunday, the Panthers (7-1-1, 1-0-0 ACC) tallied their first ACC home win against the North Carolina State Wolfpack. The victory also extended the team’s winning streak to six games.

Pitt transferred to the ACC in 2013.

Both halves of the game started in the same fashion — each team See Football on page 9 willingly giving the opposition the

ball.

But only Pitt made the peculiar strategy work. The Panthers won the possession battle and capitalized on the few good chances they put together in their first conference game.

While they did not manage any real scoring chances for most of the first half, freshman Jarena Harmon put the team ahead with a goal in the 30th minute — her team-leading fifth of the season.

The forward dribbled past two defenders in the box and beat the goalie near post in her team’s best offensive opportunity of the con-

test. Pitt had 10 shots overall.

Harmon said her goal came from “being in the right place at the right time.”

Pitt head coach Greg Miller said getting the first goal of the game boosts the players psychologically.

“Any time your team can get on the board first, it gives your team an added lift,” Miller said. “To get that goal and get that lead really takes the pressure off a little bit, and then you can build from there.“ And Pitt built, taking the win to extend their winning streak to a See Women’s Soccer on page 9

yards per carry average — made us hold on to our rose-tinted glasses.

Against Akron, Pitt managed 128 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, but had an average of 2.7 yards per carry — far less explosive than the opener. And then came the Iowa game.

Though the results have declined, Narduzzi still has confidence in the backs he has and refuses to blame injuries — especially Conner’s — for the trouble.

“I can miss a lot of guys. I can miss Rachid [Ibrahim] ... we got a lot of faith in Ollison, and Darrin Hall and Chris James,” Narduzzi said.

But looking at two plays for Pitt, it’s easy to see where Conner was sorely missed.

In the first quarter, down by a field goal at 3-0, Pitt had the ball on its own 25. Redshirt junior Nate Peterman commanded the Pitt offense as quarterback after leading Pitt in relief against Akron in place of then-starter junior Chad Voytik.

In the seven-play drive that followed, Pitt took four plays to go 69 yards, then three plays to turn the ball over just six yards from the end zone.

Hall took the ball and gained only one yard. Then Peterman attempted to scramble and gained nothing. So on third down, Peterman forced a throw, and Iowa defensive back Desmond King picked him off in the end zone — both Peterman and King’s second interception of the game.

Pitt fans know Conner for having quite the nose for the end zone. He scored a Pitt-record 24 times last year and even managed two more scores before his injury against Youngstown State.

But no Conner meant Pitt had to move to other methods to get the ball in the end zone, which led to a turnover.

In a game decided by one possession, with a turnover margin of -1 toward Pitt, this was a fatal mistake.

Pitt’s running game’s decline was similarly evident on a fourth-and-inches play

program-record six games.

Senior midfielder Roosa Arvas called winning their first conference contest at home “a huge deal.”

“We played a good game,” Arvas said. “This season, we’ve played good, but not as good as this game.”

Arvas became the program leader in points when her 53rd-minute corner kick from the left side found freshman defender Seyla Perez, who redirected the ball into the goal. At Pitt, assists count as one point, while goals are worth two.

Arvas now has 52 points. Ashley Cuba, who graduated from Pitt in 2012, previously held the record with 51.

Miller brought in Finland-native Arvas as one of his first recruits since becoming coach in 2012. He said she has been the best player on the team every year.

Establishing the initial lead helped set the tone for the rest of play, as the Wolfpack (4-6-0, 0-1-0 ACC) presented a minimal offensive challenge throughout.

Junior goalie Taylor Francis needed to make just one save during the game to register her ACCleading fifth shutout of the season.

The visitors managed just seven shot attempts overall, never seriously threatening to score with attempts that went well high or wide of goal.

In the second half, Pitt maintained the offensive pressure it had drawn from after Harmon’s goal, rather than starting to play conservatively because of its lead.

“Being ahead, you want to constantly score and make the game more exciting,” Harmon said. “I think the team pushes harder after a goal.”

with the score tied at 17-17, early in the fourth quarter.

The ball was on Iowa’s 42. Narduzzi knew going for it would be risky.

“You go for that and you don’t get it?

You put your defense in a bad position,” Narduzzi said. “If you don’t get it, everybody’s going, ‘Oh gosh, what did we do that for?’”

Pitt tried to draw Iowa offside, and, after failing to do so, punted. Iowa scored on the subsequent drive, and while Pitt tied the game, enough time had worn down to give the Hawkeyes the final possession. They then won as time expired.

This short yardage situation is where Conner — with his ability to shrug off defenders — could have been precious.

And while redshirt freshman Ollison showed the ability to truck defenders during his breakout game against Youngstown State, he only received four carries against Iowa all game.

Pitt instead relied on Hall for most of the game. He got the lion’s share of carries

— 14 — but he only managed 38 yards, with no scores.

Narduzzi was complimentary of the true freshman, who was a four-star recruit out of Ohio.

“I thought Darrin Hall really ran the ball well,” Narduzzi said. “He had a great week of practice.”

Iowa has one of the top run defenses in the NCAA. This season, it has given up only 51 rushing yards per game, tying with North Carolina State for fifth in the country. Running backs are averaging only 1.87 yards per carry against Iowa’s defense.

Every bit of length matters in football.

Pat Narduzzi sees this as the reason Pitt lost Saturday.

“We didn’t get the inches we need at times to win the football game,” Narduzzi said.

If Pitt doesn’t improve the run game, then losing by inches will be the norm.

Pitt has a bye week next week. It will play at Virginia Tech on Oct. 3.

Men’s soccer shut out in loss to Boston college Joe Rokicki Staff Writer

The Panthers’ scoring drought continued Saturday night at Newton Field in Newton, Massachusetts.

Pitt (3-2-1, 0-2-0 ACC) fell to Boston College (4-2-1, 1-1-0 ACC) 2-0 in its second consecutive loss to a conference opponent this season.

Both teams rifled eight shots on goal and six corner attempts, but for the second straight game, Pitt failed to tally a goal. To Pitt head coach Joe Luxbacher, the teams were equally matched — even if the final score says otherwise.

“It was a completely even game.

The effort was good, we just have to find a way to win these games,” Luxbacher said.

Senior goalie and team captain Dan Lynd said the way to “win these games” is by starting stronger.

“We started a little slow ... that’s something we can easily control, starting games better,” Lynd said. “We played hard the whole time, we had chances.”

Boston College’s Trevor Davock scored the first goal of the game and his third of the year, assisted by Isaac Normesinu and Simon Enstrom.

From then on, the Panthers tried to play catch-up but ultimately fell short.

Idrissa Bangura scored the second goal of the game — his second of the season — in the 66th minute off an assist from Davock.

While Pitt had more offensive success than in their last game against Wake Forest — where Pitt managed only one shot — they still didn’t score a goal. pittnews.com

Six different Panthers registered shots on goal, and senior midfielder Patrick Dixon led Pitt with two against Boston College. Dixon recorded the only shot on goal last weekend.

Pitt played a much more disciplined match this week, catching six fouls in comparison to Boston College’s 16, including 14 in the second half.

“They were chasing the game the second half,” Luxbacher said. “We were playing pretty well, but at the end of the day, we didn’t get the goal or two that we had chances to get, and they did.”

Pitt has struggled through early conference play and significant injuries to its back field, including freshman center midfielder Kyle Brathwaite. Brathwaite was injured during Saturday’s game and won’t be available for Tuesday’s match against Robert Morris University. However, there remains a sense of diligence and determination within the Panthers.

“I think the biggest thing for us is staying positive,” sophomore midfielder Raj Kahlon said. “We started the season off strong — especially Patrick Dixon led Pitt with two shots on goal in its loss to Boston College on against Lehigh.
