The Vilcek Foundation Showcases the International Artists and Filmmakers of ABC’s Hit Show

Exhibit Opens May 20, 2010, at the Vilcek Foundation Gallery

New York, April 29, 2010 -­‐-­‐ Just three days before the world-­‐wide television phenomenon LOST wraps up its final season, the Vilcek Foundation will open for public view a premiere exhibition celebrating the international creative talent, both in front of and behind the camera, that have contributed to the unbridled success of this show during its six-­‐year run.

The exhibit, presented in collaboration with the ABC Television Network and open for two weeks only at the Vilcek Foundation Gallery in New York City, will feature images and biographical profiles of immigrant and first-­‐generation American members of the LOST cast and crew, working across all departments of the production team, from acting
and costume design, to editing and lighting.

“It is thrilling to highlight an aspect of this popular show that is so often overlooked by the public eye,” said Executive Director Rick Kinsel, speaking of the pivotal role played by the diverse members of LOST’s creative team.

“LOST provides an ideal forum for reminding us all that the work of immigrants touches our lives in myriad positive ways, every day, often without our knowing or realizing.”

LOST premiered in 2004 and quickly became a global phenomenon, airing in more than 228 territories across the globe. The show’s premise, about a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles that crash lands on a mysterious island in the Pacific, lent itself to boasting one of the most multicultural casts on television.

Among the stars participating in the exhibit are Jorge Garcia (“Hurley”), Yunjin Kim (“Sun”), Nestor Carbonell (“Richard”), Dominic Monaghan (“Charlie”), and Daniel Dae Kim (“Jin”).

The exhibit also includes crewmembers whose families hail from all parts of the globe – including the Philippines, Ireland, Tonga, South Africa, New Zealand, the U.K. and China.

The profiled individuals will also be set against a collection of popular props and figures from the set of the award-­‐winning show. For the first time ever, fans in NYC will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of their favorite imagery from LOST’s mystical, mysterious time-­‐travelling island.

LOST Writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to Appear at Rome Fiction Fest

Kenneth Branagh will be feted with a lifetime achievement award by the Rome Fiction Fest, the Eternal City's TV extravaganza that is forging close ties to Blighty and Hollywood.

The Brit multihyphenate will make the trek to the Eternal City to tubthump "Wallander," the BBC detective skein that he plays the lead in and also produced, and which recently won him a producer BAFTA.

Set and shot in Sweden, "Wallander," which is based on a best-selling thriller, has been a hit in the U.S. on PBS' "Masterpiece Mystery!"

Besides Branagh, the July 6-11 Rome Fiction Fest, now at its third edition, has secured several other high-profile guests this year, including "Lost" co-creators Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who will hold a masterclass.
