Join us for a very special evening of sci-fi B-movie madness as we celebrate the work of local independent filmmaker Greg Roth of Star Robot fame. The epitome of independent—Greg writes, directs, shoots, distributes, and creates the effects (both “digital” and practical) for his films—he belongs to a long line of handmade Winnipeg filmmakers who eschew the traditional modes of production and distribution in favour of their own idiosyncratic brand of movie making. Come explore Greg’s world with us as we watch Star Robot: Back to the Markus, and host the filmmaker himself in what will undoubtedly be an illuminating and unprecedented peek in to the singular mind of Greg Roth.

  • Gian Maria Volonte:Programme Notes.Qxd
    A Bullet for the General Italy | 1966 | 135 minutes Credits In Brief Director Damiano Damiani Considered by its director to be a political film rather than a western, this critique Screenplay Salvatore Laurani, Franco Solinas of US imperialism sees Volonte’s Mexican bandit Chuncho gradually become politically aware as a result of his manipulation by a US secret agent — a role Music Luis Bacalov played by Lou Castel, ironically another committed left-wing actor. Photography Antonio Secchi Cast Chuncho Gian Maria Volonté El Santo Klaus Kinski Adelita Martine Beswick Bill 'Niño' Tate Lou Castel While the Italian spaghetti westerns of the mid- 60s and 70s dealt with some minor political issues, mostly American capitalism, there was a separate subgenre of the spaghetti western called Zapata westerns that dared to go deeper. Zapata westerns were usually dealing directly with the Mexican Revolution of 1913 and were much more politically charged than the regular spaghetti westerns, which would often set the Mexican Revolution in the background. These Zapata westerns would usually be critical of US foreign policy, the Vietnam War, fascism, capitalism, and were usually made from a Marxist point of view. Perhaps one of the most popular and recognizable Zapata westerns aside from Sergio Leone’s Duck, You Sucker is the 1966 film A Bullet for the General, which was directed by Damiano Damiani. Relentlessly thrilling, refreshingly comical, and unafraid to embrace plenty of action, A Bullet for the General is not only the first Zapata western, but also one of the most fun spaghetti westerns out there. Beautifully shot, sharply written, and carried by unforgettable performances from Gian Maria Volonté, who found stardom through Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, and Klaus Kinski, the man who played the creepiest Dracula the world has ever seen, A Bullet for the General is an epic and sweeping journey with a powerhouse climax.

Course Description: This course will serve as an introduction to the European western film; more specifically, the films termed "spaghetti westerns" of the Italian cinema during the 1960's and '70's. We will study the artistic merits of such films, but we shall also take a greater view of the subject matter, hypothesizing the links to the sociopolitical situations in existence at the time, and how these conditions may have had an artistic impact on the films themselves. We are also interested in the larger art scene at whole, and how established movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism and Expressionism may have had an impact on film-making at the time, intentional or not. Lastly, we are interested in the myth and reality of the American "Old West", and how these films interpreted this time period. By understanding the “bigger picture” to the phenomenon of the European western film, students can start to investigate and question arenas surrounding the films themselves; such as art movements and their influences, as well as political, social and historical concerns, along with the study of the technical merits of the film themselves. II. Intended Learning Outcomes/Goals/Objectives (Program/Student Learning Outcomes): We will study, through lecture, interaction and viewing of the films themselves, what established the notions of the western film and what possible explanations may exist as to why this genre came into being, thus influencing our modern perceptions of not only cinema, but society and our perceptions of reality.

  • From Weimar to Winnipeg: German Expressionism and Guy Maddin Andrew Burke University of Winnipeg (Canada) E-Mail: [email protected]
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 16 (2019) 59–79 DOI: 10.2478/ausfm-2019-0004 From Weimar to Winnipeg: German Expressionism and Guy Maddin Andrew Burke University of Winnipeg (Canada) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The films of Guy Maddin, from his debut feature Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1988) to his most recent one, The Forbidden Room (2015), draw extensively on the visual vocabulary and narrative conventions of 1920s and 1930s German cinema. These cinematic revisitations, however, are no mere exercise in sentimental cinephilia or empty pastiche. What distinguishes Maddin’s compulsive returns to the era of German Expressionism is the desire to both archive and awaken the past. Careful (1992), Maddin’s mountain film, reanimates an anachronistic genre in order to craft an elegant allegory about the apprehensions and anxieties of everyday social and political life. My Winnipeg (2006) rescores the city symphony to reveal how personal history and cultural memory combine to structure the experience of the modern metropolis, whether it is Weimar Berlin or wintry Winnipeg. In this paper, I explore the influence of German Expressionism on Maddin’s work as well as argue that Maddin’s films preserve and perpetuate the energies and idiosyncrasies of Weimar cinema. Keywords: Guy Maddin, Canadian film, German Expressionism, Weimar cinema, cinephilia. Any effort to catalogue completely the references to, and reanimations of, German Expressionist cinema in the films of Guy Maddin would be a difficult, if not impossible, task. From his earliest work to his most recent, Maddin’s films are suffused with images and iconography drawn from the German films of the 1920s.

  • Issue #73 Winter 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (Part 3) Legend of the Incas Buffalo Bill in Rome Frank Brana Interview Latest DVD Reviews
    Issue #73 Winter 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 3) Legend of the Incas Buffalo Bill in Rome Frank Brana Interview Latest DVD reviews WAI! #73 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS Well summer is over and it’s time for the fall and winter seasons to begin. Life goes into hibernation as we sit around the TV set more and more during the colder weather. But wait, I just received a postcard from my old buddy Neil Summers who says he just received a call from Terence Hill and they will be filming a new western in Santa Fe, New Mexico starting October 9th. The new made for Italian TV film is called “Doc West” and features Hill as a former doctor who is now a traveling gambler trying to forget a botched operation on a small boy who he feels died by his hands. Also starring is Paul Sorvino as the town’s sheriff. So much for a nice quiet winter, we’ll keep you posted on all the developments as well as Neil’s updates. Always nice to see a Spaghetti western being made again and Neil says if this generates enough interest it will become a weekly series. We have a welcome article by Italian scholar Armando Rotondi concerning a true event wherein Buffalo Bill was challenged by the ‘Butteri” (Italian cowboys). These actual events became the basis for the rare 1949 film “Buffalo Bill in Rome” starring Enzo Fiermonte. I hope to have more of these types of documents and reviews in future issues. My good friend, researcher and writer, Tom Prickette, took the time to watch, translate from the German text and submit a review for the recently released German language KOCH Media DVD of “The Legend of the Incas”.
