  • Cinema of Mike Ott
    JUMP CUT A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA copyright 2018, Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media Jump Cut, No. 58, winter, 2017-2018 Small form films: the (non-)cinema of Mike Ott By Robert Campbell Since graduating from the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied, inter alia, under Thom Andersen and James Benning, Mike Ott has prolifically been making feature films as well as shorts and music videos on tiny budgets. Indeed, he has shot seven features in little over a decade, including his graduation film Analog Days (2006), the documentary Kid Icarus (with Carl Bird McLaughlin, 2008), a series of three films called LiTTLEROCK (2010), Pearblossom Hwy (2012) and Lake Los Angeles (2014), which are referred to collectively as the Antelope Valley trilogy, Actor Martinez (with Nathan Silver, USA, 2016) and California Dreams (2017). Between them, these films have won various awards, including at the Montréal Festival of New Cinema, the Cleveland International Film Festival, the AFI Fest and the Independent Spirit Awards. LiTTLEROCK, Pearblossom Hwy, Lake Los Angeles and Actor Martinez are all available on Amazon Video/Amazon Prime, while LiTTLEROCK is also distributed on DVD by Kino Lorber, and Actor Martinez by Breaking Glass Pictures. A short, Lancaster, CA (2015), was in 2016 distributed on MUBI. Meanwhile, at time of writing California Dreams continues its festival run after premiering as part of the Critics’ Week at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2017 and having its first screening in North America at the SXSW Film Festival in March —with esteemed film critic Richard Brody also naming Actor Martinez among his top films of 2017 in The New Yorker.[1] [open notes in new window] Making films set in locales about fifty miles from Hollywood, Ott uses the film industry and Hollywood style as an implicit reference in most of his films, but primarily in the sense that his own style is in a way counter- Hollywood.

  • American Movie Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com American Movie Discussion Guide Director: Chris Smith Year: 1999 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Collapse (2009) The Pool (2007) The Yes Men (2003) Home Movie (2001) American Job (1996) FILM SUMMARY Upon first meeting outside the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s film department, Mark Borchardt and director Chris Smith were both struggling artists, aspiring filmmakers tirelessly toiling to translate their creative vision onto screen. Smith sensed something spectacular about Borchardt, something utterly unadulterated and pure in his quest for his art. Feeling curious and inspired, Smith followed the aspiring filmmaker over the course of two years in his Midwestern hometown, capturing the ins-and-outs of his totally real, totally quirky life on the medium they both loved best. And so AMERICAN MOVIE transpires. Working within the horror film genre, Borchardt - a 30-year living at home with his parents, who drinks regularly and is falling behind on child support payments for his three young children, who spends as much time coercing his withered old Uncle Bill to finance his film career as he does working to pay off his debts - is dead set on finishing his first short, “Coven,” before embarking on his masterpiece, “Northwestern.” A lover of films since childhood and deeply knowledgeable on the technicalities of filmmaking, Borchardt makes for an enthusiastic director. Enlisting the help of friends, family, and whatever extras his humble staff can scrape up, Borchardt and team complete 30-minute horror short “Coven” just as the 107-minute tragi-comedy AMERICAN MOVIE reaches its own conclusion.

    © Copyright 2018 Kait LaPorte The Cornfield’s Monster Diva: CeWEBrity Leslie Hall Takes Midwest Stereotypes to Camp Kait LaPorte A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi, Chair Dr. Shannon Dudley Dr. Amanda Swarr Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music University of Washington Abstract The Cornfield’s Monster Diva: CeWEBrity Leslie Hall Takes Midwest Stereotypes to Camp Kait LaPorte Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Ethnomusicology This dissertation analyzes the music videos and persona of internet celebrity Leslie Hall. I demonstrate how the widely circulated narrative that any ordinary person can become famous on YouTube created the ideal setting for Hall’s Midwest shtick to attain fame. Further, I show how Hall campily and deliberately embodies Midwestern stereotypes in order to make fun of the representations of the region as an historic, forgotten one. Building on that, I assert that Hall queers the Midwest by juxtaposing the tacky and the ordinary, giving voice to Midwestern queerness and pushing back against the Hollywood glamour of mainstream gay iconicity. Building on my discussion of the ways in which Hall queers the Midwest and pushes against the region’s alleged heteronormativity, I explore how Hall’s work reveals the relationship between fatness and monstrosity in American society, and utilizes this association in order to call attention to it. In so doing, Hall paints a new picture of the Midwest in which it is queer, famous, and monstrous.

  • Metacinematic Gestures
    METACINEMATIC GESTURES AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PRODUCTIONIST ASPECT OF SELF-REFLEXIVE FILMS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Leicester By Matteo Ciccognani School of Business University of Leicester January 2018 ABSTRACT The thesis focuses on the dilemmas raised by self-reflexive filmmaking through the scrutiny of different metacinematic gestures. This thesis presents a definition of metacinematic gesture as a film segment which exhibits the mediality of cinema and opens up a discourse on its technical, linguistic and organisational implications. This definition and its attendant reflections are the result of a critical understanding of the notion of gesture for Giorgio Agamben and Walter Benjamin. Subsequently, I propose a grid of intelligibility of different categories for metacinematic gestures: Referential, Realist, Surrealist, Experimental, the Look into the Camera and Productionist. This classification contributes to fill the theoretical gaps within Film Studies literature about metacinema and narrows down the category that this research explores: the productionist. Productionist metafilms expand and reflect on the processual dimension of filmmaking to the extent that the frontstage of production might be said to coincide, or tend to coincide, with its own backstage. In fact, it is proposed that productionist metafilms serve to reveal and construct a self-reflexive form of directorial subjectivity through the acknowledgement of some specific strategic choices operated on the set. But, the emergence of these subjectivities is mostly influenced by the material conditions of production, the budget, the film crew, the environmental conditions or the limits set by the screenplay. So, the main contribution of this research is to provide a new theorisation of self- reflexivity in films with particular focus on the productionist aspect of metacinema.
