  • See It Big! Action Features More Than 30 Action Movie Favorites on the Big
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

  • Masculinities Journal Him
    The Wild Man and the Shepherd. Hegemonic Masculinities and the Definitions of Trauma in The Hurt Locker (2008) and American Sniper (2014) Sebastian Fitz-Klausner* University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Abstract Although one could not escape the ubiquitous comparisons to Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker while reading reviews for Clint Eastwood’s latest war movie (American Sniper), the impressions both films leave are quite different. Despite the apparent similarities regarding protagonists, settings and narrative structure (we follow a soldier of a special unit making tours in Iraq while coping with PTSD), the differences regarding box office results and the films’ interpretations are undeniable. And nowhere is this more apparent than in the conception of trauma. While real-life Chris Kyle was a public, yet polarizing figure of war-related experiences and an example of how to deal with and conquer (!) one’s own trauma to regain a “normal” life according to hegemonic ideals of US- masculinity, his counterpart in The Hurt Locker (William James) was not just perceived to be an adrenaline junkie, but was actually blamed to produce a disrespectful image of professional soldiers and their masculinities. In the few cases James’ trauma is accepted, his PTSD is reduced to a small number of scenes (e.g. scenes at home and in the supermarket) while ignoring his traumatic disposition (death drive, latency, compulsive repetition) or interpreting it as mere thrill-seeking behaviour, thereby constructing a narrative of “cold” masculinity around * Department of Educational Sciences, Division for Heterogenity, University of Koblenz-Landau, Landau, Germany, E-mail: [email protected] -Masculinities- A Journal of Culture and Society, Spring, 2019, Masculinities Journal him.

  • Vanessa Thorpe, 'Steve Mcqueen Paves Way for Artists to Break The
    Vanessa Thorpe, ‘Steve McQueen paves way for artists to break the boundaries’, The Observer, March 8, 2014 The Oscar-winning director of 12 Years a Slave has pushed back the boundaries of film because of the fearlessness that comes with a background in art Steve McQueen with his Oscar after winning best picture award for 12 Years a Slave. Photograph: Xinhua/Landov /Barcroft Media When the director Steve McQueen was an art student learning basic film-making skills at Goldsmiths College, London, he joked he was already aiming for the time when his name would eclipse that of his glamorous namesake, star of The Great Escape and Bullitt. "One day," he told his collaborator, Professor Will Brooker, "when people talk about Steve McQueen, I am going to be the first person they think of." Now, with an Oscar for his film 12 Years a Slave, the transition from Turner prizewinning artist to celebrated director has been made in style. It is a path to cinematography also taken by the British artist Sam Taylor-Wood, nominated for a Turner prize in 1998 and now editing her high-profile film of the erotic bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey. Next month will see a further reminder of the link between the film industry and the rarefied contemporary art world, a link that has existed since the Lumière brothers first projected images on to a screen. Julian Schnabel, the American artist and film-maker, is to stage his first art exhibition in Britain for 15 years. "The connection between visual artists and film might seem obvious, and Schnabel is successful in both, but it is amazing how many good artists there are who have not made good films," said Tim Marlow, who was appointed head of exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts last week.

Being a Non-Entity with Soon-Yi Previn Carl Hugmeyer Sometimes I realize that I’m not really putting myself out there. Being pleasant and considerate towards those around you is important, but part of me still thinks there should be something else going on. I find it hard to track down my contributions, my expressions, my statements. Partially read New Yorkers pile up and Netflix still recommends more documentaries than sitcoms. There is kale in the refrigerator, yes, and a $23 bottle of wine. Great. But is this supposed to be a model of beautiful living, to show to those who scream at their children, slapping them and then tugging at their arms as they wait for the tank to fill up at the gas station? To those who throw their Burger King wrappers out of the car window? It is dust accumulating, nothing, a mouse in the walls of the world that no one really sees or cares about except when it gets audibly worked up or so thoroughly stuck that a smell begins to emanate.

La casa sin salida en el cine de Roman Polanski Manuela RODRÍGUEZ DE PARTEARROYO Departamento de Filología Italiana Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Recibido: 13/09/2013 Modificado: 31/03/2014 Aceptado: 25/04/2014 Resumen Desde sus orígenes, el cine de Roman Polanski ha mantenido intacto su poder de fascinación sobre el espectador cinematográfico, tanto por su incansable modernidad, como por la inevitable polémica que siempre arrastran sus películas. En este caso, pretenderemos acercarnos a dos comedias, escasas en su filmografía, como son What? (1972) y Carnage (2011), muy distantes en el tiempo aunque con interesantes coincidencias temáticas y narrativas. Nuestro interés primordial será ahondar en su retrato de las figuras femeninas de ambas obras y su ubicación, física y metafórica, en el espacio de la casa. Siguiendo la estela de maestros como Luis Buñuel, Marco Ferreri o Stanley Kubrick, Polanski encerrará a sus mujeres en un refugio hostil y sin salida para que vaya cayéndose progresivamente la máscara de la sociedad moderna, dejando salir, poco a poco, al animal primitivo que nunca hemos dejado de ser. Esto no es una casa, sino una balsa llena de náufragos tratando de sobrevivir.

  • False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen
    False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen by Nicholas Vick November, 2012 Director of Thesis: Amanda Klein Major Department: English Woody Allen is an auteur who is deeply concerned with the visual presentation of his cityscapes. However, each city that Allen films is presented in such a glamorous light that the depiction of the cities is falsely authentic. That is, Allen's cityscapes are actually unrealistic recreations based on his nostalgia or stilted view of the city's culture. Allen's treatment of each city is similar to each other in that he strives to create a cinematic postcard for the viewer. However, differing themes and characteristics emerge to define Allen's optimistic visual approach. Allen's hometown of Manhattan is a place where artists, intellectuals, and writers can thrive. Paris denotes a sense of nostalgia and questions the power behind it. Allen's London is primarily concerned with class and the social imperative. Finally, Barcelona is a haven for physicality, bravado, and sex but also uncertainty for American travelers. Despite being in these picturesque and dynamic locations, happiness is rarely achieved for Allen's characters. So, regardless of Allen's dreamy and romanticized visual treatment of cityscapes and culture, Allen is a director who operates in a continuous state of contradiction because of the emotional unrest his characters suffer.
