Dr Jonathan Rayner is a Reader in Film Studies, Convenor of the MA in International Cinema at the University of Sheffield, a recent Caird Senior Research Fellow at The National Maritime Museum at Greenwich (UK), a member of the AHRC Peer Review college, and an Editorial Board member of Studies in Australasian Cinema and Studies in European Cinema. Foreword David Desser éla Belázs’s lyrical paeans to the power of the close up in cinema remain vital components to our understanding of how movies work their magic. And whatever Roland Barthes meant when he wrote, ‘The face of Garbo is an Idea, that of Hepburn Ban Event’, he still knew that close ups account for much of the pleasures of the cinematic text. Yet surely the Lumière Brothers knew equally well that the long shot, the landscape, could excite the artistic imagination as much as the intimate portrait. Not for nothing do we see a train arriving at a station, workers leaving the factory – the landscape existing in space yet shifting in time. While it is doubtful that people ran screaming from the Grand Café at the sight of a train hurtling toward them, a genuine excitement was indeed experienced when a landscape, at once familiar and now made strange, came alive before their eyes. The cinema’s debt to photography is abundantly clear in the Lumière Brothers’ films; they were, after all, the purveyors of photographic equipment. Yet is not photography equally suited to the landscape as much as the portrait? And who, moreover, living in France in the second half of the nineteenth century could be unaware and unaffected by Impressionism? For all the documentary value in their films, we find marvellous touches of Impressionism: are we excited at the image of Monsieur and Madam Lumière feeding their baby – the very portrait of the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie – or is the sight of the rustling of the leaves behind them that truly engages our sensibilities? This is both the birth of cinema and of cinephilia. It is perhaps the ‘impressionism’ of the cinematic landscape that so strongly commands our attention. Like the Lumière films existing on the boundary between the documentary and the experimental, the marvellous, yet perhaps increasingly forgotten ‘city symphonies’ such as Rien que les heures (Alberto Cavalcanti, 1926), Berlin: Symphony of a Big City (Walther Ruttman, 1927) and the two transcendent masterpieces of the genre, A propos de Nice (Jean Vigo, 1929) and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera (1929), reveal the power of the cinema to animate space that both freezes it in time yet endows it with timeless mobility. No surprise, then, that so many cinematic movements that followed understand the impressionism of the city. What is the French New Wave without Paris? What are the Cinema and Landscape films of Sidney Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee, without New York? And think of the masterpiece, Tokyo Story (1953). Though not a director of long shots and vistas, Ozu surely has something in mind with those few shots of the sad old couple amid the anonymous megalopolis compared with the graceful sense of home conveyed by the film’s famous opening and closing sequences. The ‘painterly’ associations that landscape inevitably brings to bear have not escaped the greatest of Hollywood’s filmmakers, either: John Ford painted a portrait of the Old West as much with the buttes of Monument Valley as he did the increasingly careworn face of John Wayne. The notion of ‘landscape’ is a complex one, of course, but however it is defined it has been central to the art and artistry of the cinema and to the cinephilia that goes into the creation of a book like this one. 10 Acknowledgements The Editors would like to sincerely thank each and every one of the contributors to Cinema and Landscape for their terrific contributions. These contributions are not only a wonderful reflection of the laudable commitment displayed here by the authors, but also reflect some considerable challenges faced along the way – all of which makes this book the result of what can be achieved by an international community of scholars.

  • (POST)COLONIAL AFRICA by Katherine Lynn Coverdale the F
    ABSTRACT AN EXPLORATION OF IDENTITY IN CLAIRE DENIS’ AND MATI DIOP’S (POST)COLONIAL AFRICA by Katherine Lynn Coverdale The focus of this thesis is aimed at two female French directors: Claire Denis and Mati Diop. Both auteurs utilize framing to create and subsequently break down ideological boundaries of class and race. Denis’ films Chocolat and White Material show the impossibility of a distinct identity in a racialized post-colonial society for someone who is Other. With the help of Laura Mulvey and Richard Dyer, the first chapter of this work on Claire Denis offers a case study of the relationship between the camera and race seen through a deep analysis of several sequences of those two films. Both films provide an opportunity to analyze how the protagonists’ bodies are perceived on screen as a representation of a racial bias held in reality, as seen in the juxtaposition of light and dark skin tones. The second chapter analyzes themes of migration and the symbolism of the ocean in Diop’s film Atlantique. I argue that these motifs serve to demonstrate how to break out of the identity assigned by society in this more modern post-colonial temporality. All three films are an example of the lasting violence due to colonization and its seemingly inescapable ramifications, specifically as associated with identity.

Credits: 3 Winter, 2011 Level: Undergraduate Dr. Bruce Williams [email protected] II. Course description: Course presents an introduction to the cinema of Spain from the political allegories and exile films of the Franco era to the cultural renaissance of the 1980s. Cinema is viewed as an inherent part of twentieth-century Peninsular literary/cultural production. Special attention is devoted to the unique situations of Spanish history which render the country’s cinema considerably distinct from other European national traditions. Topics to be discussed include the representation of nation in film, surrealist visions, women and cinema, and minority discourses. Course taught in Spanish. III. Course objectives: 1. Course will present an in-depth critical overview of theoretical approaches common in the study of Peninsular Spanish cinema. 2. It will explore historical factors which led to the evolution of a unique sense of “nation” in this cinema. 3. It will examine the notion of exile cinema. 4. Course will foster interpretative skills which facilitate an understanding of the development of cinema in Spain from the Franco dictatorship to the movida of the 1980s. 5. It will examine Spain’s minority cinemas (Galicia, Basque Country, Catalunya) and will situate these divergent discourses within the broader context of world cinema. IV. Student learning outcomes: 1. Students will demonstrate ability to contextualize Spanish cinema within the broader scope of world cinema. 2. They will discuss orally and in writing principal directors (Buñuel, Saura, Almodóvar, Bigas Luna).

L’approche choisie emprunte à la fois au champ littéraire et au champ cinématographique, et fait intervenir à la fois théoriciens, écrivains et cinéastes. À travers plusieurs regards croisés entre cinéastes et écrivains, ce mémoire décrit comment les thèmes du dépaysement, de la mémoire, de l’identité, du territoire et de la langue reviennent sans cesse dans les œuvres des auteurs migrants. Il interroge également la place des auteurs migrants au sein de la littérature et du cinéma nationaux, leur apport à l’imaginaire collectif, et plus largement leur place dans le discours social ambiant. À travers son œuvre, Mallet raconte sa propre expérience d’exilée en même temps qu’elle témoigne de ce qui s’est passé après le coup d’État au Chili en 1973, laissant des traces pour contrer l’histoire officielle.

  • Cinema As a Tool for Development
    MSc Thesis Cinema as a Tool for Development Investigating the Power of Mobile Cinema in the Latin American Context By Philippine Sellam 1 In partial requirement of: Master of Sustainable Development/ International Development track Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University Student: Philippine Sellam (3227774) [email protected] Under the supervision of: Gery Nijenhuis Utrecht, August 2014 Cover Picture and full page pictures between chapters: The public of mobile cinema/Fieldwork 2014 Title font: ‘Homeless font’ purchased from the Arells Foundation (www.homelessfonts.org) 2 Everything you can imagine is real - Picasso 3 Abstract During the last fifteen years, mobile cinema has sparked new interest in the cinema and development sectors. Taking cinema out of conventional theatres and bringing it to the people by transporting screening equipment on trucks, bicycles or trains and setting up ephemeral cinemas in the public space. Widening the diffusion of local films can provide strong incentives to a region or a country’s cinematographic industry and stimulate the production of independent films on socially conscious themes. But the main ambition of most mobile cinema projects is to channel the power of cultural community encounters to trigger critical social reflections and pave the way for social transformation. Just as other cultural activities, gathering to watch a film can bring new inspirations and motivations, which are subjective drivers for actor-based and self-sustained community change. Research is needed to substantiate the hypothesis that mobile cinema contributes to social change in the aforementioned sense. Therefore, the present work proposes to take an investigative look into mobile cinema in order to find out the ways and the extent to which it contributes to actor-based community development.

    Brown University Department of Hispanic Studies HISP 1290J. Spain on Screen: 80 Years of Spanish Cinema Fall, 2013 Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00-10:20am, Salomon 004 Prof. Sarah Thomas 84 Prospect Street, #301 [email protected] Tel.: (401) 863-2915 Office hours: Thursdays, 11am-1pm Course description: Spain’s is one of the most dynamic and at the same time overlooked of European cinemas. In recent years, Spain has become more internationally visible on screen, especially thanks to filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro, Pedro Almodóvar, and Juan Antonio Bayona. But where does Spanish cinema come from? What themes arise time and again over the course of decades? And what – if anything – can Spain’s cinema tell us about the nation? Does cinema reflect a culture or serve to shape it? This course traces major historical and thematic developments in Spanish cinema from silent films of the 1930s to globalized commercial cinema of the 21st century. Focusing on issues such as landscape, history, memory, violence, sexuality, gender, and the politics of representation, this course will give students a solid training in film analysis and also provide a wide-ranging introduction to Spanish culture. By the end of the semester, students will have gained the skills to write and speak critically about film (in Spanish!), as well as a deeper understanding and appreciation of Spain’s culture, history, and cinema. Prerequisite: HISP 0730, 0740, or equivalent. Films, all written work and many readings are in Spanish. This is a writing-designated course (WRIT) so students should be prepared to craft essays through multiple drafts in workshops with their peers and consultation with the professor.

  • The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan Hughes, University of Central Lancashire The North of England is a place-myth as much as a material reality. Conceptually it exists as the location where the economic, political, sociological, as well as climatological and geomorphological, phenomena particular to the region are reified into a set of socio-cultural qualities that serve to define it as different to conceptualisations of England and ‘Englishness’. Whilst the abstract nature of such a construction means that the geographical boundaries of the North are implicitly ill-defined, for ease of reference, and to maintain objectivity in defining individual texts as Northern films, this paper will adhere to the notion of a ‘seven county North’ (i.e. the pre-1974 counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire) that is increasingly being used as the geographical template for the North of England within social and cultural history.1 The British film industry in 1941 As 1940 drew to a close in Britain any memories of the phoney war of the spring of that year were likely to seem but distant recollections of a bygone age long dispersed by the brutal realities of the conflict. Outside of the immediate theatres of conflict the domestic industries that had catered for the demands of an increasingly affluent and consuming population were orientated towards the needs of a war economy as plant, machinery, and labour shifted into war production.
