Olmos, Joanna Cassidy, Brion James, Joe Turkel AWARDS 1982: 2 Nominations for Oscar: Best Art Direction, Visual Effects 1982: Nominated Golden Globes: Best Original Score - Motion Picture 1983: 3 BAFTA: Best Cinematography, Costume Design, Art Direction. 8 nominations 1982: Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards: Best Cinematography GENRE Sci-Fi, Action, Cult movie, Robots, Cyberpunk SYNOPSIS/PLOT A blend of science fiction and noir detective fiction, Blade Runner was a box office and critical bust upon its initial exhibition, but its unique postmodern production design became hugely influential within the sci-fi genre, and the film gained a significant cult following that increased its stature. In a cyberpunk vision of the future, man has developed the technology to create replicants, human-like androids used to serve in the colonies outside Earth but with fixed life spans. Los Angeles in 2019 has become a pan-cultural dystopia (anti-utopia) of corporate advertising, pollution and flying automobiles, as well as replicants, built by Tyrell Corporation for use in dangerous off-world colonization. Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a retired blade runner, a euphemism for detectives who specialize in terminating replicants, forced to re-enter the force when a quartet of replicants led by Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) escape from an off world colony to Earth, killing several humans in the process. In 1992, Ridley Scott released a popular director's cut that removed Deckard's narration, added a dream sequence, and excised a happy ending imposed by Warner Bros. Some quotes: “Replicants weren't supposed to have feelings... neither were blade runners.” “We're not computers, Sebastian, we're physical.” “Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.” “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c- beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die.” http://www.filmaffinity.com/en/film358476.html http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/.

Bit će razmotren odnos arhitekture na filmu i arhitekture ţivljenog, stvarnog svijeta, pri čemu će se konzultirati neke teorije o prostornim problematikama postmoderniteta. Ograničenje je postavljeno na ţanr antiutopijske znanstvene fantastike zbog njegove konceptualne sloţenosti i vizualne atraktivnosti – razvijena ţanrovska ikonologija koja ţanr antiutopijske znanstvene fantastike čini zahvalnim objektom analize i interpretacije. Tema ovoga rada kao hibridna sfera interesa traţi metodologiju u kojoj će podjednako biti zastupljeni i teorijski i praktičan pristup. Teorijsko pristupanje temi izvršit će se iščitavanjem dostupne literature iz područja antropologije arhitekture, filmologije i vizualne kulture kako bi se ustanovio odnos arhitektura – medij – iskustvo – doţivljaj. Praktični pristup odnosi se na analizu vizualnog sadrţaja, tj. na način kako su vizije arhitekture i prostora na filmu konstruirane i artikulirane. Bit će ponuĎena objašnjenja nekih od temeljnih načela prostornih ureĎenja tih filmova Rad je pohranjen u Knjiţnici Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu: Rad sadrţi: 61 stranicu.

Nightmare (Re)Visions: the Failure of Dystopian Literary Adaptations?
Nightmare (Re)visions: The failure of dystopian literary adaptations? MA in English by Independent Study Nic Felton January 2010 *Front cover image from Fahrenheit 451 (1966) Nightmare (Re)visions: The failure of dystopian literary adaptations? It’s funny how the colours of the like real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.1 And like children, you will only swallow all the bitter stuff I have to give you if it is carefully coated in a thick syrup of adventure.2 Literary adaptation theorists believe that we should look beyond the failure or success within adaptation studies but this seemingly cannot be ignored in the case of dystopian literary adaptations. The dystopian text should result in an outstanding and enlightening filmic adaptation, encompassing the cultural and historical points of view of both the author and adapter. However, many dystopian adaptations fail, not only to attract a large audience attendance, but to adequately portray the major themes and narrative evident within the precursor text. As Leitch states “Adaptations imitate novels, novels imitate life” but what happens when this “life” is projected into the future?3 Why do adapters choose to abandon the true dystopian vision? Why do many dystopian literary adaptations fail so spectacularly? This essay will seek to examine the potential reasons for the failure of the dystopian literary adaptation with regards to both audience expectations of the film adaptation and attendance at the cinema The issue of fidelity will be discussed to some extent but I will not seek to justify that the text is far superior to the film (or vice versa).

James Hay was a wonderful source of challenging questions and reassurance. Bruce Hunt and Nancy Schiesari provided new perspectives on this subject that I greatly appreciated. Also, William Christ and Jennifer Henderson kindly hired me to teach at Trinity University for several semesters running and another Trinity colleague, Patrick Keating, helped invigorate this project with his research and our conversations. My graduate colleagues Kyle Barnett, Avi Santo, Hollis Griffin, Alison Perlman, and Holly Custard have encouraged me with welcome feedback and timely commiseration.

So does light Grado en Fundamentos de la Arquitectura Autor: Pablo Rico Guilbert Curso 2017-2018 Año: 2017 2 AGRADECIMIENTOS En homenaje a todas aquellos científicos y artistas que han permitido comprender el mundo tal y como lo concebimos hoy... Agradeciendo a mi tutor Manuel Lillo por permitirme profundizar en esta temática que desde hoy acompañará mi recorrido como persona dedicada a la arquitectura y al arte... Y mencionando especialmente a mi familia y compañeros de la carrera, apoyo incondicional para poder compartir mis reflexiones. 1 4 RESUMEN Desde el movimiento del sol hasta la vibrante sombra de un árbol pasando por los destellos del agua, los fenómenos lumínicos en la naturaleza se muestran casi siempre en movimiento. La luz en la arquitectura, sin embargo, no parece explotar semejantes recursos. Ciertos movimientos artísticos, insaciables de experimentación, no han dudado en explorar sus cualidades plásticas y expresivas para hacer reflexionar al individuo sobre una nueva manera de percibir y materializar espacios. La aplicación de estos principios de luz en movimiento serán analizados y su influencia en la arquitectura reflexionada. PALABRAS CLAVE Luz, movimiento, arte cinético, arte lumino-cinético, arquitectura, percepción, participación, materialización de espacios. 6 Í N D I C E 1. INTRODUCCIÓN 8 1.1.

Page 1 of 12 EXHIBITION FEATURES FILMS FROM A DIVERSITY OF GENRES ABOUT WARS THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE For Immediate Release September 2000 The Imaginary War September 14–October 15, 2000 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters 1 and 2 The Imaginary War is an international selection of films about fictional wars that served as warnings or critiques of real wars. The exhibition includes a range of films, from Aelita (1924), Yakov Protazanov’s fantasy of a proletarian uprising on Mars, and the Marx Brothers’s anti- totalitarian burlesque Duck Soup (1933), to Stanley Kubrick’s atomic satire Dr. Strangelove (1964) and Barry Levinson’s prescient Wag the Dog (1997). The Imaginary War, part of The Museum of Modern Art’s Open Ends exhibition, is on view from September 14 to October 15, 2000. The program was organized by Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video. The Imaginary War was inspired by a comment Jean-Luc Godard made about his 1963 film Les Carabiniers, an anti-war allegory that shatters all conventions of the genre by blending documentary actuality and fanciful invention: “In dealing with war, I followed a very simple rule. I assumed I had to explain to children not only what war is, but what all wars have been …rather as if I were illustrating the many—yet always drearily familiar—faces of war by projecting imagerie sheets through a magic lantern, in the manner of the early cameramen who used to fabricate newsreels.” The Imaginary War features a diversity of genres—science fiction and fantasy, slapstick comedy and the political thriller, pseudo-documentary and experimental and animation works.
