TCM Classic Film Festival to Open with Gala Screening of Cabaret
Passes Go on Sale Nov. 9 for Four-Day Festival,
Coming to Hollywood April 12-15, 2012

Liza Minnelli in "Cabaret" Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will open the 2012 edition of the TCM Classic Film Festival with the world premiere of a new 40th anniversary restoration of Bob Fosse’s Cabaret (1972). TCM’s own Robert Osborne, who serves as official host for the festival, will introduce Cabaret to kick off the four-day, star-studded event, which will take pace Thursday, April 12 – Sunday, April 15, 2012, in Hollywood. Passes are set to go on sale Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 10 a.m. (ET) through the official festival website: http://www.tcm.com/festival.

One of the most acclaimed films of its era, Cabaret stars Oscar®-winner Liza Minnelli as an American singer looking for love and success in pre-World War II Berlin. Michael York and Academy Award® winner Joel Grey co-star in the film, which earned Fosse an Oscar for Best Director and serves as a perfect showcase for his unique choreography and imaginative visual style.

Cabaret will kick off an extensive roster of screenings for the 2012 TCM Classic Film Festival. As part of TCM’s ongoing commitment to supporting film preservation, the festival will showcase several new restorations, including three Best Picture Oscar winners, one of the greatest movie musicals of all time and a nearly forgotten gem ready to be rediscovered:

Wings (1927) – 85th Anniversary Restoration Charles “Buddy” Rogers, Richard Arlen and Clara Bow star in William A. Wellman’s high-flying World War I melodrama, the first movie ever to take home Oscar for Best Picture. Wings set the gold standard for Hollywood when it comes to shooting aerial dogfights.

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) – World Premiere of New Restoration Topping many lists as the greatest war movie of all time, All Quiet on the Western Front is director Lewis Milestone’s groundbreaking masterpiece based on the World War I novel by Erich Maria Remarque. Lew Ayres heads the cast in this Oscar-winning Best Picture.

Call Her Savage (1932) – World Premiere of 80th Anniversary Restoration Clara Bow stars as a sexy Texas gal in this saucy pre-Code drama, one of only 11 talkies made by the actress who had previously personified the Roaring Twenties as Hollywood’s leading sex symbol.

Casablanca (1942) – 70th Anniversary Restoration
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman star in Michael Curtiz’s Oscar-winning drama, widely regarded to be one of Hollywood’s crowning achievements. The impeccable cast includes Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, S.Z. Sakall and Dooley Wilson.

Singin’ in the Rain (1952) – World Premiere of 60th Anniversary Restoration Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s delightful musical about Hollywood’s transition to talkies features Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor, along with the scene-stealing Jean Hagen and the sensuous Cyd Charisse. This movie will be presented in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Gene Kelly’s birth.


The central theme of the 2012 festival will be Style in the Movies. From fashion to architecture to production design, the theme will touch on both the influence that movies have on popular styles and the impact that current trends have on the movies. As part of the festival’s multi- faceted celebration of style, TCM has added two films that epitomize the fashion and décor of the 1930s:

Swing Time (1936) Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, who defined style, grace and even humor for Depression-era audiences, dance their way through glorious art deco sets while singing such memorable Jerome Kern-Dorothy Fields songs as “A Fine Romance” and the Oscar-winning “The Way You Look Tonight” – plus Astaire’s show-stopping “Bojangles of Harlem” production number.

The Women (1939) – New Print Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and Paulette Godard lead an all-female case in George Cukor’s hilarious film version of the popular Clare Boothe Luce play. The Women is a treasure trove of Hollywood style, from its sleek art deco sets to its glamorous gowns (including a full-color fashion show in the middle of the movie).

Additional screenings, events and talent appearances for the 2012 TCM Classic Film Festival will be announced over the coming months.

Her management team was not contacted by any Israeli promoters and has no knowledge whatsoever regarding any appearances in that country. Liza arrived home earlier this week from the United Kingdom where she performed at the White Rose Ball which raised money for the Holocaust Memorial & Educational Centre & Aegis Trust. The Holocaust Centre is the only place of it’s kind in the UK dedicated to engaging young people and professionals alike, both with the history of the Holocaust and with the gift of choice we all enjoy ‐ whether to be apathetic in response to discrimination we witness on our doorsteps and around the world or to stand up and do something about it.

POSTED SEPTEMBER 15, 2011:

* Liza will appear at the The White Rose Charity Ball – Sunday 25th September in London to support the Holocaust Memorial & Educational Centre & Aegis Trust

About the charity:

After the Holocaust, the world said “Never Again”, but genocide has continued to destroy lives around the world, while prejudice and discrimination‐ the roots from which division, hatred and extremism can grow – remain deeply embedded in our own society.

The Holocaust Centre is the only place of it’s kind in the UK dedicated to engaging young people and professionals alike, both with the history of the Holocaust and with the gift of choice we all enjoy ‐ whether to be apathetic in response to discrimination we witness on our doorsteps and around the world or to stand up and do something about it.

We are a voluntary committee comprising professionals in all walks of media and working in conjunction with Soho’s Famous Groucho Club, and staff from the Centre itself, leading a charge to raise money to perpetuate the continuation of the Centre, which, is currently operating at a loss.

http://www.bam.org/Minnelli

BAMcinématek presents The Complete Vincente Minnelli, the first full New York retrospective of the Hollywood master in more than 20 years, Sep 23—Nov 2 (32 days, 35 films)  35mm prints.

Brooklyn, NY/Aug 30, 2011— Beginning September 23 and continuing through November 2, BAMcinématek presents The Complete Vincente Minnelli, the first full New York retrospective of the Hollywood master in more than two decades. This 35-film series pays homage to one of the all-time great Hollywood directors, with a career that included successful forays into the musical (which earned him his reputation at MGM), subversive and deeply personal melodramas and sensitive biopics, and airy comedies. The retrospective, presented in conjunction with the Locarno International Film Festival, offers a chance to reevaluate the Hollywood giant’s status as an auteur, truly one of cinema’s greatest artists. All films in The Complete Vincente Minnelli will be projected in 35mm, except for one which will be shown in 16mm.

Popularly associated with meticulously decorated, nostalgic musicals like Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), An American in Paris (1951), The Band Wagon (1953), and the beloved Gigi (which swept the 1959 Oscars, winning in all nine categories that it was nominated including Best Picture and Best Director), Minnelli also proved to be a master of multiple genres over his 34-year directing career, including several darker dramas that were under- appreciated by his contemporaries. Minnelli was as poetically cynical as Billy Wilder in the Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner vehicle The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and its follow-up, Two Weeks in Another Town (1960). He was as skilled as Douglas Sirk at the Technicolor CinemaScope melodrama in The Cobweb (1955) and Home From the Hill (1960). Presenting his entire corpus at once offers a chance to appreciate his fabulous range, while also calling attention to the themes, motifs, and pet obsessions that unify his films. The majority of the prints in The Complete Vincente Minnelli come from the Warner Bros. studio archive, but many prints have also been unearthed from archives worldwide: the Cinémathèque Suisse, Cinémathèque Francaise, the British Film Institute, as well as American archives such as George Eastman House, the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Academy Film Archive.

Don’t look for Liza Minnelli in the front row during Fashion Week -- she’s leaving town to spend a week in Russia. The legendary singer is to be an honorary guest at the Vladivostok Film Festival, where they’re screening her classic “Cabaret.” Minnelli’s absence will also be felt at the Alexander Wang after-party with Love magazine, given that Minnelli’s edgy pictorial for Love with Terry Richardson -- where Minnelli shows off a great pair of gams -- has already received a fair share of buzz.

Liza Minnelli To Appear On OWN's
THE GAYLE KING SHOW on
Friday, June 17

June 15, 2011 - The legendary Liza Minnelli, whose latest CD Confessions was released to universal acclaim, will appear on OWN's The Gayle King Show on Friday, June 17. The program also airs on Sirius XM Satellite Radio (XM 156/Sirius 195). The appearance will spotlight Liza's latest CD and her upcoming European tour.

A collection of American classics, Confessions features some of Minnelli’s favorite songs of all time, arranged simply and elegantly, with accompaniment by her long-time pianist Billy Stritch. The disc was released by Decca in September 2010. Dan Aquilante of The New York Post said: 'Liza is more Algonquin than Kit Kat Club on this record of cabaret standards and torch burners. Minnelli, in strong voice, sings as if she's lived every world-weary lyric.'

Minnelli toured throughout 2010 in a new show that showcased material found on Confessions. An early stop in the tour had Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune say, "To see Minnelli standing stage center and plunging into 'The World Goes 'Round' – an anthem of survival if ever there were one – was to appreciate anew the clenched-fist defiance of both the singer and the song. If any vocalists today approach the ferocity and drive of Minnelli's version of 'Maybe This Time,' they have yet to make themselves known."

Minnelli will embark on a European tour this month and has already sold-out London's Royal Albert Hall on June 29.

Additional concert appearances include:

July 1 London, Kenwood House
July 4 Manchester, Bridgewater Hall
July 6 Glasgow, Concert Hall
July 8 Oostende Belgium, Kursaal
