    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • Introduction 1 Mimesis and Film Languages
    Notes Introduction 1. The English translation is that provided in the subtitles to the UK Region 2 DVD release of the film. 2. The rewarding of Christoph Waltz for his polyglot performance as Hans Landa at the 2010 Academy Awards recalls other Oscar- winning multilin- gual performances such as those by Robert de Niro in The Godfather Part II (Coppola, 1974) and Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice (Pakula, 1982). 3. T h is u nder st a nd i ng of f i l m go es bac k to t he era of si lent f i l m, to D.W. Gr i f f it h’s famous affirmation of film as the universal language. For a useful account of the semiotic understanding of film as language, see Monaco (2000: 152–227). 4. I speak here of film and not of television for the sake of convenience only. This is not to undervalue the relevance of these questions to television, and indeed vice versa. The large volume of studies in existence on the audiovisual translation of television texts attests to the applicability of these issues to television too. From a mimetic standpoint, television addresses many of the same issues of language representation. Although the bulk of the exempli- fication in this study will be drawn from the cinema, reference will also be made where applicable to television usage. 1 Mimesis and Film Languages 1. There are, of course, examples of ‘intralingual’ translation where films are post-synchronised with more easily comprehensible accents (e.g. Mad Max for the American market).

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2000/2001 for Period Ending March 31, 2001
    ANNUAL REPORT 2000 - 2001 ANNUAL REPORT 2000/2001 For period ending March 31, 2001 Page 1 BRITISH COLUMBIA FILM YEAR IN REVIEW 2000/2001 continued to be a period of growth for the British Columbia film and television industry. For the second year in a row, the province surpassed $1 billion in total production activity. This represents the largest level of production across Canada, and retains British Columbia’s place as the busiest North American production centre outside of Los Angeles and New York. Contributing to the overall growth of the film and television sector has been the establishment of an increasingly strong indigenous independent production community. The sustained rise in B.C. owned and controlled production over the past five years marks a significant shift in the traditional structure of the B.C. industry. In 2000, indigenous production represented 30% of total production whereas in 1995 it represented only 8%. British Columbia can be confident that it has developed a strengthened domestic sector alongside its active service production industry. In October 2000, Minister of Canadian Heritage, Sheila Copps announced the long awaited Canada Feature Film Fund to be administered by Telefilm Canada. The fund will provide $100 million each year for five years through performance and selective envelopes to Canadian feature filmmakers. The Canadian broadcasting landscape was set for dramatic changes as a result of key ownership shifts brought before the CRTC for approval. BCE sought the purchase of CTV, Global vied for the assets of WIC, and a new television station license was slated for Victoria. British Columbia Film put forward written submissions and made presentations at the CRTC hearings related to these broadcast changes, seeking to ensure that benefits flowed to British Columbia’s independent production sector.

Une seule chose m'a un peu embarrassé: la disparité des paysages. On passe sans transitions de la luxuriance du Kenya à l'aus­ tère (et pelée!) grandeur des monts Grampian, en Ecosse, puis le long des côtaux verdoyants du Haut-Ontario. Cela m'a semblé un peu brusque et parfois difficilement plausi­ ble. Je pense que c'était une question — non résolue — de montage. Mais ce n'est vraiment qu'un défaut mineur parmi tant de qualités. À Saint-Césaire, en France, on vient de mettre la main sur une preuve. Voilà trente mille ans seulement, il y avait encore des Néanderthaliens (la tribu rivale de celle à laquelle appartient Naoh, le héros du film) sur le territoire français.
