  • The Depiction of the City Apartment
    1 MIT Student Paper 3 4/20/15 Heaven and “El”: The Depiction of the City Apartment There seems to be one ubiquitous scene in a film featuring a city: the depiction of the apartment. The city is a predominantly public space, but the apartment becomes a place where the urbanite can have a measure of privacy and control. In a city designed, constructed, managed, and populated by strangers, the apartment becomes a place where the character can create on his own and he can make a space his. Three films where the apartment plays the role of establishing a character’s place in the city are King Vidor’s The Crowd, What-his face’s The Naked City and John Schlesinger’s Midnight Cowboy, though they have three different variations in the theme of creating and belonging in a place in the city. John Sims in The Crowd seeks a domestic refuge from the bustling and stifling crowd of New York. Garza in The Naked City also seeks privacy, but from the police and his arrest. Finally Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy seeks a place where he can be different and not persecuted for it. The need of privacy from an apartment appears ultimately integral to understanding the experiences of these characters and their lives in New York. The Sims’ apartment is characterized in two contradictory ways from the first few sequences. First, John Sim’s song “It’s heavenly inside our flat/but outside it is El!” creates the image of the apartment as refuge from the city.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • You Know I Ain't Queer … Queering Mediation And
    You Know I Ain’t Queer … Queering Mediation and Sexuality in Midnight Cowboy and Brokeback Mountain Isabell B. Johansen Master’s thesis, Media Studies Spring 2009 Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo 2 “It’s been more than 35 years when people would watch Midnight Cowboy and say ‘What the hell was that all about?’ Well, now we have fully accepted this new genre of cinema: gay westerns!” - Jon Stewart, The 78th Annual Academy Awards (Horvitz, 2006:3). 3 4 ABSTRACT ENGLISH Gay western – why does that sound like a paradox? This is a question that colours this thesis. It is easy enough: Homosexual men are feminine on film and the western is the ultimate masculine cinematic expression. These are established conventions and they colour our expectations. I have studied how Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) mediate the sexuality of the protagonists, and how these representations relate to traditions of Hollywood film. This study of mediation of queer sexualities in American mainstream film is situated within a queer theoretical framework, providing a critical/inquisitive perspective to norms of mediation. Gender and sexuality are mediated through characters, but they are also expressed through other cinematic aspects like setting, soundtrack or genre. In both of the movies western genre elements enhances and underlines the masculinity of the protagonists. Since masculine men in movies are expected to be heterosexual, the sex and the intimate relationships between men become a surprise—both within the diegesis (film universe) and in a film historical context. Sex between men rarely takes place at all in American mainstream movies.

  • First Run Features PRESENTS
    FIRST RUN FEATURES PRESENTS “CRITIC’S PICK! This delightful documentary shows that Marion Dougherty may have single-handedly created a filmmaking craft and then made it indispensable.” - The Village Voice “Jam-packed with evocative film clips, archival footage and interviews with a who’s who of actors and filmmakers, ‘Casting By’ makes a compelling case for a Hollywood-gone- by when gut instincts, risk-taking and a dark-horse mentality could trump corporate meddling and box office slavishness. Good stuff!” - Los Angeles Times “An absolute pleasure!” - Indiewire “Highly entertaining! An illuminating close-up on a vital cog in the moviemaking machine and a fresh perspective on key episodes in the birth of the New Hollywood. It’s thrilling to gain insight into how these iconic movies came together.” - The Hollywood Reporter “Delicious insider tales of the making of some of your favorite films enrich this wonderfully informative and entertaining doc about casting directors. Enthralling!” - Film Journal “Donahue’s access is nothing short of awesome - it feels as if there’s nobody he can’t get on camera.” - Variety “Outstanding! This is clearly a labor of love. It must have been in the works an awfully long time... but it was worth waiting for.” - Leonard Maltin Casting By places the spotlight on one of filmmaking’s unsung heroes – casting director Marion Dougherty – and takes us on a journey through 50 years of Hollywood history from an entirely new perspective. Relying on her exquisite taste and gut instincts, Dougherty helped usher in the ‘New Hollywood’ with movies like Midnight Cowboy, The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and the Sun- dance Kid and Bonnie and Clyde, and in the process launched the careers of iconic actors including James Dean, Robert Duvall, Warren Beatty, Christopher Plummer, Glenn Close, John Travolta, Jeff Bridges, Bette Midler and countless others.

    H-Texas Western Area: Film & History 2018 Discussion published by Sue Matheson on Saturday, June 16, 2018 Type: Conference Date: November 7, 2018 to November 11, 2018 Location: Wisconsin, United States Subject Fields: American History / Studies, Film and Film History On the Western’s frontier, citizens and sociopaths abound—lawmen and outlaws, gamblers and gunmen, cavalry wives and soiled doves, the Indian chiefs and buffalo scouts. How do these figures—materially or metaphorically—shape the creation, delivery and reception of the American West in film? The "good" citizen in a Western may seem easy to define, but when do some portrayals of citizenship succeed, inspiring audiences, while others backfire? When might the actions of sociopaths be laudable? This area, comprised of multiple panels, welcomes papers on the subject of “citizenship and sociopathy” about all aspects of the Western’s polis. How do ethics of compassion, truth-telling and honesty contribute to a Greater Good and build a new society in the Wild West? When is the America’s social ideal disguised in Western’s narrative, and when is it advertised? Why does citizenship fail and when does it succeed on the frontier—as an image, a means, or a principle—and for whom? Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: • Community Service Frontier-style (Warlock, They Call Me Trinity, The Magnificent Seven, Silverado, Pale Rider, Sukiyaki Western Django) • Social Conscience in the West (Drums Along the Mohawk, Shane, Hondo, Hud, Old Shatterhand, McLintock!, City

  • A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department
    From Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion to Zorro Rides Again: A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department There are presently over nine hundred scripts in the Lilly Li­ brary Book department. The movies represented range from the silent version of Ben Hur to Breaking Away. The collection's scope is broad; one can find scripts for great film classics, musicals, mys­ teries, adventures, shorts, westerns, comedies, and science fiction movies. Many types of filmscripts make up the collection-drafts, cutting continuities, preliminary editions, shooting finals. Gener­ ally the scripts are accompanied by publicity photos. Although the majority of filmscripts in the collection are for talkies, several scripts are for silent films. The text of a silent film­ script is devoted primarily to directions for camera shots and de­ scriptions of the action, and provides title captions instead of dia­ logue. The earliest script in the collection is for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (released in 1921), the film that gave Rudolph Valentino his first starring role. The Big Parade (1925), King Vidor's popular film about an average man's experiences at war, estab­ lished John Gilbert as a top star. The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first full length feature with both singing and talking, starring AI }olson in his first movie role. Wings (1928), considered to be the last of the silent spectaculars, was the first movie to receive an Academy Award. Clara Bow and Charles Rogers starred in this tale of World War I flyers. One of the most lavish films of the silent era was the the 1926 MGM version of Ben Hur, starring Ramon Novarro, directed by William Wellman.
