Despite intense debate over a number of years, auteurist notions in film studies persist and critical attention continues to centre on the director as the sole giver of meaning to a film.

    American Society of Cinematographers Historical Timeline DRAFT 8/31/2018 Compiled by David E. Williams February, 1913 — The Cinema Camera Club of New York and the Static Camera Club of America in Hollywood are organized. Each consists of cinematographers who shared ideas about advancing the art and craft of moviemaking. By 1916, the two organizations exchange membership reciprocity. They both disband in February of 1918, after five years of struggle. January 8, 1919 — The American Society of Cinematographers is chartered by the state of California. Founded by 15 members, it is dedicated to “advancing the art through artistry and technological progress … to help perpetuate what has become the most important medium the world has known.” Members of the ASC subsequently play a seminal role in virtually every technological advance that has affects the art of telling stories with moving images. June 20, 1920 — The first documented appearance of the “ASC” credential for a cinematographer in a theatrical film’s titles is the silent western Sand, produced by and starring William S. Hart and shot by Joe August, ASC. November 1, 1920 — The first issue of American Cinematographer magazine is published. Volume One, #1, consists of four pages and mostly reports news and assignments of ASC members.

Murnau's "The Last Laugh;" Eisenstein's "Potemkin;" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," one of the most controversial films of its time. Thirty-seven pictures were selected by Beaumont Newhall, Director of the George Eastman House, who is responsible for organizing the current photographic exhibition, "Photo Eye of the 20s," to which "Kino Eye of the 20s" is a companion program.

"In a quarter of a century the movies had grown from a vaudeville novelty to a distinct and po';erful art form." The decade saw the production of some of the greatest films ever made.

  • Fright—In All of Its Forms—Has Always Been an Essential Part of the Moviegoing Experience
    SCARY MOVIES Fright—in all of its forms—has always been an essential part of the moviegoing experience. No wonder directors have figured out so many ways to horrify an audience. FINAL TOUCHES: (opposite) Director Karl Freund and makeup artist Jack P. Pierce spent eight hours a day applying Boris Karloff’s makeup in The Mummy (1932). This was the first directing job for the noted German cinematographer Freund, who was hired two days before production started. (above) John Lafia scopes out Chucky, a doll possessed by the RES soul of a serial killer, in Child’s Play 2 (1990). Lafia made the 18-inch, half-pound plastic U ICT doll seem menacing rather than silly by the clever use of camera angles.

  • Escala En Buenos Aires: Los Primeros Años De John Alton En El Cine Argentino
    149 Escala en Buenos Aires: los primeros años de John Alton en el cine argentino Por Iván Morales* Resumen: El siguiente artículo estudia los primeros años de John Alton en el cine argentino, donde se desempeñó como director de fotografía entre 1932 y 1939. Alton nació en el Imperio austrohúngaro, se formó en Hollywood durante los años veinte, a fines de esa década viajó a Europa para ocuparse de los estudios que Paramount tenía en Francia, trabajó brevemente como camarógrafo de exteriores en países de Asia y África, y finalmente llegó a la Argentina, donde permaneció durante siete largos años hasta que regresó a Hollywood definitivamente. El primer aspecto que desarrollaré es la cultura viajera de John Alton y su llegada a Buenos Aires. En segundo lugar, analizaré el rol clave que tuvo Alton en la consolidación de una joven cinematografía nacional que aspiraba a convertirse en industria. A partir de su paso por el proyecto cosmopolita de la productora SIFAL, trabajaré con la película Escala en la ciudad (Alberto de Zavalía, 1935) para dar cuenta de cómo su fotografía implicó una modernización técnica y estética inédita para el cine argentino. Palabras clave: John Alton, dirección de fotografía, cine argentino, film noir. Resumo: Este artigo estuda os primeiros anos de John Alton no cinema argentino, onde atuou como diretor de fotografia entre 1932 e 1939. Alton nasceu no Império Austro-Húngaro, se formou em Hollywood durante os anos 1920, no final dessa década viajou à Europa para trabalhar nos estúdios que a Paramount tinha na França, trabalhou brevemente como cinematografista de exteriores em países da África e da Ásia e, finalmente, chegou à Argentina, onde permaneceu durante sete anos até regressar a Hollywood definitivamente.

  • A Case Study of Gregg Toland and Citizen Kane
    Volume 5, Issue 1 February 2012 Authorship and the Director of Photography: A Case Study of Gregg Toland and Citizen Kane PHILIP COWAN, Manchester Metropolitan University ABSTRACT The artistic contribution of Directors of Photography to the films that they shoot, in narrative mainstream cinema, have been historically ignored in favour of the director-centred auteur theory. In order to address this imbalance a new approach to attributing authorship in film needs to be implemented, which acknowledges co-authorship in collaborative film-making. By taking established auteur methodologies Philip Cowan, himself a practicing Director of Photography, analyses the work of Gregg Toland, who has long been recognised for his technical contribution to Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941), but only by analysing his previous work can one actually realise the depth of his influence on the visualisation of Kane. KEYWORDS Film, cinematography, authorship, Gregg Toland, Citizen Kane, Orson Welles Gregg Toland and the cinematographer’s plight Gregg Wesley Toland, born in 1904, became one of the most respected Directors of Photography in Hollywood during the 1930s and 40s. He started his career as an assistant to cinematographer George Barnes, who would later shoot Rebecca (Hitchcock, 1940). By 1931 Toland had graduated to cinematographer at Goldwyn Studios. Throughout the 30s he developed his own style of shooting, on films including Les Miserables (Boleslawski, 1935), Mad Love (Freund, 1935), The Road to Glory, (Hawks, 1936), Dead End (Wyler, 1937), Wuthering Heights (Wyler, 1939), The Grapes of Wrath (Ford, 1940), and The Long Voyage Home (Ford, 1940). In 1941 he shot the film that many film critics and theorists consistently regard as the best American film ever made, Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941).
