  • Stanley Kubrick's 18Th Century
    Stanley Kubrick’s 18th Century: Painting in Motion and Barry Lyndon as an Enlightenment Gallery Alysse Peery Abstract The only period piece by famed Stanley Kubrick, Barry Lyndon, was a 1975 box office flop, as well as the director’s magnum opus. Perhaps one of the most sumptuous and exquisite examples of cinematography to date, this picaresque film effectively recreates the Age of the Enlightenment not merely through facts or events, but in visual aesthetics. Like exploring the past in a museum exhibit, the film has a painterly quality harkening back to the old masters. The major artistic movements that reigned throughout the setting of the story dominate the manner in which Barry Lyndon tells its tale with Kubrick’s legendary eye for detail. Through visual understanding, the once obscure novel by William Makepeace Thackeray becomes a captivating window into the past in a manner similar to the paintings it emulates. In 1975, the famed and monumental director Stanley Kubrick released his one and only box-office flop. A film described as a “coffee table film”, it was his only period piece, based on an obscure novel by William Makepeace Thackeray (Patterson). Ironically, his most forgotten work is now considered his magnum opus by critics, and a complete masterwork of cinematography (BFI, “Art”). A remarkable example of the historical costume drama, it enchants the viewer in a meticulously crafted vision of the Georgian Era. Stanley Kubrick’s film Barry Lyndon encapsulates the painting, aesthetics, and overall feel of the 18th century in such a manner to transform the film into a sort of gallery of period art and society.

  • Film Reviews
    Page 117 FILM REVIEWS Year of the Remake: The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man Jenny McDonnell The current trend for remakes of 1970s horror movies continued throughout 2006, with the release on 6 June of John Moore’s The Omen 666 (a scene­for­scene reconstruction of Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen) and the release on 1 September of Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (a re­imagining of Robin Hardy’s 1973 film of the same name). In addition, audiences were treated to remakes of The Hills Have Eyes, Black Christmas (due Christmas 2006) and When a Stranger Calls (a film that had previously been ‘remade’ as the opening sequence of Scream). Finally, there was Pulse, a remake of the Japanese film Kairo, and another addition to the body of remakes of non­English language horror films such as The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water. Unsurprisingly, this slew of remakes has raised eyebrows and questions alike about Hollywood’s apparent inability to produce innovative material. As the remakes have mounted in recent years, from Planet of the Apes to King Kong, the cries have grown ever louder: Hollywood, it would appear, has run out of fresh ideas and has contributed to its ever­growing bank balance by quarrying the classics. Amid these accusations of Hollywood’s imaginative and moral bankruptcy to commercial ends in tampering with the films on which generations of cinephiles have been reared, it can prove difficult to keep a level head when viewing films like The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man.

Cultural festivals are argued to offer one such particularly rich and nuanced research context; within this study their potential to transcend intermittent enactment emerged as a significant avenue of enquiry. The engagement of organisation studies with theories of practice has produced a rich practice-based corpus, diverse in both theoretical concerns and empirical approaches to the study of practice. Nevertheless, continuity presents an, as yet, under- theorised aspect of this field. Thus, the central questions of this thesis concern: the practices that underpin the enactment of festivals; the themes emerging from these practices for further consideration; and relationships between festivals and the wider context within which they are enacted. These issues were explored empirically through a qualitative study of the enactment of a community-centred film festival. Following from the adoption of a ‘practice-lens approach’, this study yielded forty-eight practices, through which to explore five themes emerging from analysis: Safeguarding, Legitimising, Gatekeeping, Connecting and Negotiating Boundaries.

  • The Position Is Looking Forward to Welcoming Into Its Lively, Talented and Active Family a Priest-In-Charge to Lead Us with New Vision to a Revival
    All Saints’ Church, Halifax, The Position is looking forward to welcoming into its lively, talented and active family a priest-in-charge to lead us with new vision to a revival. Wordcloud of responses to a recent Congregational Survey asking which are the most important qualities expected of a new priest Page 2 The Prospects All Saints’ has spent some time learning, reflecting and praying on the theory of growth in terms of our relationships with God, with each other and with People Out There. There has been a certain amount of progress, particularly in discipleship so that a number of people have stepped forward to take up positions of responsibility with aptitude and enthusiasm. The pastoral care related to this activity is an important consideration going forward. There is great enthusiasm for continuing to develop discipleship; and we seek to grow in numbers, faith and finances with new leadership from an incoming priest-in-charge. Having spent much time and effort on developing a Welcome Garden, which should have been officially opened in May 2020, the church needs someone who can enthusiastically lead forward the detailed and widespread programme of events and projects a dedicated team has put in place. With this we hope to encourage the community into our precincts with an intention of leading them a step further into our church building and our church family. The enthusiasm and commitment shown over the past few years for the Welcome Garden Project and the keen interest in seeing it used, reveals an eagerness to reach out into the surrounding area.

  • Mridula Sharma – Revisiting Bernard Rose's Frankenstein: Ugliness And
    / 95 Revisiting Bernard Rose’s Frankenstein: Ugliness and Exclusion MRIDULA SHARMA Abstract ary Shelley’s attempt to present what Ellen Moers labels as a ‘female gothic’ seems Mto endorse rigid notions of beauty: the transgression of socially approbated ideals of beauty leads to textual disposal in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Frankenstein’s desertion of the creation, for instance, testifies to the writer’s conscious effort to portray the beautiful and the ugly within the ambit of societal expectations of physical attractiveness. It is interesting to study the representation of the narrative in cinema because the transposition of Mary Shelley’s description into characters played by actors in reality is further influenced by the director’s perceptions of the textual reading as well as his presumptions of beauty. Bernard Rose’s film titled, Frankenstein (2015), appropriates the original text for public consumption: the monster’s initial corporeal beauty is transformed into supposed hideousness due to Frankenstein’s attempt to further augment his creation’s physical strength. The insertion of the monster’s Oedipal desire for Elizabeth supplements the investigation in the element of romance that is somewhat governed by the internalisation of conventional ideas of beauty. This paper endeavours to critique the contrast between the textual and cinematic portrayal of Frankenstein’s monster by examining the duality in the promotion of beauty in Rose’s film and contrasting it with the narrative space within Mary Shelley’s 1818 edition. Keywords: Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, Bernard Rose, Monster, Ugliness, Exclusion. Introduction The creations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Rose’s Frankenstein have been referred to as the ‘monster’ in the article.
