SIGNED: 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While writing a dissertation seems, at times, to be one of the most solitary acts possible, I actually was more aware of being a part of a community during my dissertation work than many other times in my academic life. Thanks to those who inspired me with their work in film, dance, as well as in the creative and healing arts. Without your support, I would not have made it through this process quite so joyously. I would like to thank my connmittee, Barbara Kosta, Charlie Scruggs, and Barbara Babcock, for their encouragement and support as I returned to school to begin the dissertation a year ago. A special thanks goes to Charlie Scruggs for urging me to investigate the musical more closely, and to Barbara Kosta for the amazing attention given to each chapter. I appreciate my conmiittee's help more than I can say here. I am also grateful for all of the wonderful teachers I had in my undergraduate and graduate experience, beginning with Carol Mitchell, Jim Tanner, and Wayne Viney at CSU. Many other people contributed to the project's completion. Dottie Nicholas provided me with much needed fmancial assistance, which allowed me to concentrate fully on writing during these last precious months. I am grateful to my family members and friends who encouraged my progress, watched dissertation films with me, and cheered at the conclusion of the project. I thank all of them. 5 DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to the spirits and memories of my precious grandparents: to "Mimi," my maternal grandmother, whose death came, at age 96, just before I began writing about Sally Potter's character, Mimi, investigating her own death; my paternal grandmother, "Nana," whom, like my own mother, Rita, never gave up on the idea of romance; and my paternal grandfather, "Papa," who must have tangoed in the 1920s Buenos Aires when he lived there on his migration from Europe and the United States. I found a resonance with each of them in the subject matter.

Chapter I provides the reader with an introduction to Potter's major film work and the motivation for undertaking a book-length study of her career. A biographical section, compiled from various interviews Potter has given over the past decades, covers factors in her background that are helpful in understanding her direction as a filmmaker. The chapter ends with an overview of Potter's early film work through Combines (1972). her multi-screen film/dance collaboration piece with Richard Alston and the London Contemporary Theatre. In Chapter 2,1 take up the issues of auteurism, essentiaiism, and genre, in an attempt to create a strategy for writing a major study of an individual fihnmaker at this critical juncture in film/feminist/cultural studies. This chapter sets the stage for the rest of the chapters, which will revolve around drawing out what I see as a discemable sense of style in relation to a corresponding body of social and artistic concerns that shape Potter's work from her early experimental films through her feature films in the 1990s.

  • Choreography for the Camera AB
    Course Title CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA A/B Course CHORFORCAMER A/B Abbreviation Course Code 190121/22 Number Special Notes Year course. Prerequisite: 1 semester of any dance composition class, and 1 semester of any dance technique class. Prerequisite can be waived based-on comparable experience. Course This course provides a practical and theoretical introduction to dance for the camera, Description including choreography, video production and post-production as pertains to this genre of experimental filmmaking. To become familiar with the form, students will watch, read about, and discuss seminal dance films. Through studio-based exercises, viewings and discussions, we will consider specific approaches to translating, contextualizing, framing, and structuring movement in the cinematic format. Choreographic practices will be considered and practiced in terms of the spatial, temporal and geographic alternatives that cinema offers dance – i.e. a three-dimensional, and sculptural presentation of the body as opposed to the proscenium theatre. We will practice effectively shooting dance with video cameras, including basic camera functions, and framing, as well as employing techniques for play on gravity, continuity of movement and other body-focused approaches. The basics of non-linear editing will be taught alongside the craft of editing. Students will fulfill hands-on assignments imparting specific techniques. For mid-year and final projects, students will cut together short dance film pieces that they have developed through the various phases of the course. Students will have the option to work independently, or in teams on each of the assignments. At the completion of the course, students should have an informed understanding of the issues involved with translating the live form of dance into a screen art.

  • The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 16 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy July 2014 The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema Sanja Bogojević Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n16p675 Abstract In this paper we analyze the phenomenon called the “myth of the good Italian” in the Italian cinema, especially in the first three decades of after-war period. Thanks to the recent success of films such as Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds or Academy Award- winning Benigni’s film La vita è bella and Spielberg’s Schindler’s List it is commonly believed that the Holocaust is a very frequent and popular theme. Nevertheless, this statement is only partly true, especially when it comes to Italian cinema. Soon after the atrocities of the WWII Italian cinema became one of the most prominent and influential thanks to its national film movement, neorealism, characterized by stories set amongst the poor and famished postwar Italy, celebrating the fight for freedom under the banners of Resistance and representing a nation opposed to the Fascist and Nazi regime. Interestingly, these films, in spite of their very important social engagement, didn’t even mention the Holocaust or its victims and it wasn’t until the 1960’s that Italian cinema focused on representing and telling this horrific stories. Nevertheless, these films represented Italians as innocent and incapable of committing cruel acts. The responsibility is usually transferred to the Germans as typically cold and sadistic, absolving Italians of their individual and national guilt.

  • Selected Academic Bibliography Career Overviews
    Updated: August 2015 Sally Potter: Selected Academic Bibliography Career Overviews: Books The second, longer annotation for each of these books is quoted from: Lucy BOLTON, “Catherine Fowler, Sally Potter and Sophie Mayer, The Cinema of Sally Potter” [review] Screen 51:3 (2010), pp. 285-289. Please cite any quotation from Bolton’s review appropriately. Catherine FOWLER, Sally Potter (Contemporary Film Directors series). Chicago: University of Illinois, 2009. Fowler’s book offers an extended and detailed reading of Potter’s early performance work and Expanded Cinema events, staking a bold claim for reading the later features through the lens of the Expanded Cinema project, with its emphasis on performativity, liveness, and the deconstruction of classical asymmetric and gendered relations both on-screen and between screen and audience. Fowler offers both a career overview and a sustained close reading of individual films with particular awareness of camera movement, space, and performance as they shape the narrative opportunities that Potter newly imagines for her female characters. “By entitling the section on Potter’s evolution as a ‘Search for a “frame of her own”’, Fowler situates the director firmly in a feminist tradition. For Fowler, Potter’s films explore the tension for women between creativity and company, and Potter’s onscreen observers become ‘surrogate Sallys’ in this regard (p. 25). Fowler describes how Potter’s films engage with theory and criticism, as she deconstructs and troubles the gaze with her ‘ambivalent camera’ (p. 28), the movement of which is ‘designed to make seeing difficult’ (p. 193). For Fowler, Potter’s films have at their heart the desire to free women from the narrative conventions of patriarchal cinema, having an editing style and mise- en-scene that never objectifies or fetishizes women; rather, Fowler argues, Potter’s women are free to explore female friendships and different power relationships, uncoupled, as it were, from narratives that prescribe heterosexual union.
