Joan of Arc (French:Jeanne d'Arc,IPA:[ʒan daʁk]; 6 January c. 1412– 30 May 1431), nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" (French:La Pucelle d'Orléans) is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint. Joan of Arc was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle, a peasant family, at Domrémy in north-east France. Joan said she received visions of the ArchangelMichael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent Joan to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory.
On 23 May 1430, she was captured at Compiègne by the Burgundian faction which was allied with the English. She was later handed over to the English, and then put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais Pierre Cauchon on a variety of charges. After Cauchon declared her guilty she was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, dying at about nineteen years of age.
Singer Tim Kinsella has been the only permanent member of the group; he has also recorded as a solo artist.
Joan of Arc are known for their use of electronics, samples, and multi-track recording in their songs; some songs on The Gap contained over 100 tracks.
Joan of Arc's lyrics and cover art are often intentionally misleading, humorous, or confusing. For example, the album Live in Chicago 1999 is not a live album, but a reference to the fact that the band lived in Chicago in the year 1999.
Members of Joan of Arc have been in many other bands including Friend/Enemy with Califone'sTim Rutili; American Football with Kinsella's brother Mike; Owls, a Cap'n Jazz reunion; Ghosts and Vodka; Everyoned, and most recently Make Believe.
Biography
Joan of Arc began as a band named Red Blue Yellow. They broke up after their first show, threw away all of their old material, and started afresh with new songs and a new name. Three months later, Joan of Arc had their first show at Autonomous Zone in Chicago. After two promising 7" singles, the band recorded their debut album A Portable Model Of... on the Jade Tree label.
Joan of Arc is an outdoor equestrian statue installed in Coe Circle, at the intersection of Northeast 39th and Glisan, in Portland's Laurelhurst neighborhood. The sculpture is one of several copies of Emmanuel Frémiet's 1874 gilded bronze statue, Jeanne d'Arc, which is installed at the Place des Pyramides in Paris. Portland's statue is also made of bronze and measures approximately 12 feet (3.7m) x 5.5 feet (1.7m) x 9 feet (2.7m). The flag held by Joan of Arc is made of copper. The statue rests on a granite base that measures approximately 8 feet (2.4m) x 3 feet (0.91m) x 9 feet (2.7m).
The miniseries tells the story of Joan of Arc, from her birth in 1412 until her death in 1431.
Joan of Arc is born in 1412 in the village of Domrémy in the war zone of Northern France. During her youth she often witnesses the horrors of war, but her spirit is kept high by the legend of the Maiden of Lorraine. This says that a young maiden one day will unite the divided country and lead the people to freedom.
In the village of Domrémy, the young Joan is visited by Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret, who exhort her to fight for her country. Her father Jacques d'Arc, mother Isabelle Romée, and uncle beg her to stay at home, but she leaves them and travels to Vaucouleurs, where she meets with the governor, Captain Robert de Baudricourt. The dissipated Baudricourt initially scorns Joan's ideals, but her zeal eventually wins him over, and he gives her authority to lead French soldiers. Joan and her army lead a triumphal procession into Orléans, followed by a large crowd. Then, in Reims Cathedral, Charles VII is crowned King of France.
At the Siege of Compiègne, Joan is taken prisoner while her army attempts to storm the castle. In prison, Joan has another dream in which she sees her visions again. Taken to the interrogation, Joan refuses to sign a retraction, and is condemned as a heretic. In the Rouen marketplace, Joan is burned at the stake. The wood carrier at the execution, bringing in fuel for the burning, dies on the spot from the fumes. In a final apotheosis scene, Joan rises to heaven, where she is greeted by God and the saints.
Joan of Arc is an equestrian statue, with Joan of Arc riding a trotting horse, resting upon a three-tiered granite base (H. 52 in. x W 11. ft.). Her body is twisted slightly, and her right arm is raised behind her. She is wearing a helmet with a raised visor and she looks skywards. In her left hand she holds the reins to her horse. The sword she originally held in her right hand was stolen in 1978, and not replaced until December 2011. The pedestal was designed by American artist H.L. Davis.
The piece was first proposed in May 1916 by Mme Polifème to the Commission of Fine Arts in order to celebrate the friendship between France and the United States. During its creation, DuBois worked closely with the French Minister of Education and Fine Arts in producing a credible representation of the peasant girl.
She broke onto the scene at the turn of the century with her roles in teen dramas and prestige films alike, but Leelee Sobieski hasn’t been popping up in as many roles in the last few years. Rising to fame with her role in the high school comedy Never Been Kissed and even a small-but-memorable part in Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut, things were looking up for the young star, but her next few films were nowhere near as successful.
What’s happened to this ‘90s and early 2000s actor since her most famous movies? Let’s take a look at why Hollywood hasn’t been casting Leelee Sobieski as much in recent years.

SEBERG Cast and Crew Q&A | TIFF 2019
She made her screen debut at 18, playing Joan of Arc. By 21, she would be immortalized in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, the film that launched the French New Wave. But Jean Seberg never quite took to stardom. She was restless. As the 1960s became more radicalized, so did she — to the extent that she became a person of interest for the FBI. This searing biopic stars Kristen Stewart in her finest work to date, embodying Seberg at what would prove to be her life's turning point.
The film opens in May 1968. After years of living in Paris with her second husband, Romain Gary, Jean returns to Hollywood for solitude and work, but finds herself more engaged with the Black Panthers than Paint Your Wagon. Her support for the Black Power movement earns the notice of the Feds, who begin monitoring ...

She made her screen debut at 18, playing Joan of Arc. By 21, she would be immortalized in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, the film that launched the French New Wave.

This searing biopic stars Kristen Stewart in her finest work to date, embodying Seberg at what would prove to be her life's turning point.
The film opens in May 1968. After years of living in Paris with her second husband, Romain Gary, Jean returns to Hollywood for solitude and work, but finds herself more engaged with the Black Panthers than Paint Your Wagon. Her support for the Black Power movement earns the notice of the Feds, who begin monitoring her every move, paying special attention to her affair with married activist Hakim Jamal (Anthony Mackie, also at the Festival in SYNCHRONIC). Agent Jack Solomon (Jack O'Connell, also at the Festival in Jungleland) is assigned to Jean's file, but the more he immerses himself in her life, the more he empathizes with this woman whose privacy is slowly being destroyed.
Written by Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel and directed by Benedict Andrews (Una, TIFF '16), Seberg depicts a turbulent clash of glamour and politics. Cinematographer Rachel Morrison (Mudbound, TIFF '17) invokes an ambiance of paranoia, with haunting images of a woman who has nowhere left to hide. At the core of Seberg is Stewart, who seems to have fused herself with her character completely. This is an indelible portrait of an artist destined for fame — and crushed by notoriety.
