  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: the Operatic Anxieties of the Fly
    Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: The Operatic Anxieties of The Fly Yves Saint-Cyr 451 University of Toronto Introduction In 1996, Linda and Michael Hutcheon released their groundbreaking book, Opera: Desire, Disease, Death, a work that analyses operatic representations of tuberculosis, syphilis, cholera, and AIDS. They followed this up in 2000 with Bodily Charm, a discussion of the corporeal in opera; and, in 2004, they published Opera: The Art of Dying, in which they argue that opera has historically provided a metaphorical space for the ritualistic contemplation of mortality, whether the effect is cathartic, medita- tive, spiritual, or therapeutic. This paper is based on a Hutcheonite reading of the Fly saga, which to date is made up of seven distinct incarnations: George Langelaan published the original short story in 1957; Neumann and Clavell’s 1958 film adaptation was followed by two sequels in 1959 and 1965; David Cronenberg re-made the Neumann film in 1986, which gener- ated yet another sequel in 1989; and, most recently in 2008, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang adapted Cronenberg’s film into an opera. If the Hutcheons are correct that opera engenders a ritualistic contemplation of mortality by sexualising disease, how does this practice influence composers and librettists’ choice of source material? Historically, opera has drawn on the anxieties of its time and, congruently, The Fly: Canadian Review of Comparative Literature / Revue Canadienne de Littérature Comparée CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC 0319–051x/11/38.4/451 © Canadian Comparative Literature Association CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC The Opera draws on distinctly 21st-century fears.

  • Chapter 1 Fear and Profit in the Fourth Domain
    He turned his thinking Toward unknown arts, changing the laws of nature. —Ovid 1 Fear and Profit in the Fourth Domain One symbolic, dual directional, vertical flow that continu- ously proves fruitful in the examination of cultural structures and dynamics is the continuum between purity and pollution. The social organization of norma- tive conditions tends to place purity at the top of the cultural value hierarchy, while pollution tends to lie at the bottom. There is no cross-cultural consistency in expressions of this separation in terms of belief, behav- ior, and representation, and within each culture, there are always contradictions and exceptions to the rules. To be sure, the endless negotiation of how to navigate through and organize the perceived manifestations of purity and pollution is a primary part of cultural becom- ing, and in many ways is key to describing and understanding cultural difference. 16 The Molecular Invasion In western cultures, centuries of intense cultural ex- change among the nations of Europe and North America have given rise to fundamental metanarratives that chan- nel the expression of the categories of purity and pollution. Two fundamental and often linked metanarratives are God and Nature, which are charged with symbolically managing thoughts, behaviors, representations, and all other forms of expression by associating with them vari- ous degrees of value, legitimacy, and acceptability. Purity is a positive subcategory of these primary codes, and hence purity is associated with signs of goodness, legiti- macy, and the authoritative. However, human agents are not only discouraged from fully realizing the category of purity on an earthly plane, they are forbidden from doing so.

  • An Examination of Jerry Goldsmith's
    THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, ESCAPING EARTH AND TONALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF JERRY GOLDSMITH’S TWELVE-TONE SCORE FOR PLANET OF THE APES VINCENT GASSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2019 © VINCENT GASSI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Jerry GoldsMith’s twelve-tone score for Planet of the Apes (1968) stands apart in Hollywood’s long history of tonal scores. His extensive use of tone rows and permutations throughout the entire score helped to create the diegetic world so integral to the success of the filM. GoldsMith’s formative years prior to 1967–his training and day to day experience of writing Music for draMatic situations—were critical factors in preparing hiM to meet this challenge. A review of the research on music and eMotion, together with an analysis of GoldsMith’s methods, shows how, in 1967, he was able to create an expressive twelve-tone score which supported the narrative of the filM. The score for Planet of the Apes Marks a pivotal moment in an industry with a long-standing bias toward modernist music. iii For Mary and Bruno Gassi. The gift of music you passed on was a game-changer. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks and much love go to my aMazing wife Alison and our awesome children, Daniela, Vince Jr., and Shira, without whose unending patience and encourageMent I could do nothing. I aM ever grateful to my brother Carmen Gassi, not only for introducing me to the music of Jerry GoldsMith, but also for our ongoing conversations over the years about filM music, composers, and composition in general; I’ve learned so much.

  • June 2013 at BFI Southbank
    13/19 June 2013 at BFI Southbank Werner Herzog, Nikkatsu Studios, Rita Hayworth, Yoko Ono’s Meltdown, Sheffield Doc/Fest, Tony Garnett Werner Herzog is a truly prolific filmmaker having directed, produced, written and acted in a number of features and documentaries now deemed legendary in cinematic history, such as Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. This month BFI Southbank presents Part One of an in-depth focus on his films, also including an Extended Run of Aguirre, Wrath of God, which will be re-released by the BFI on June 7. Rita Hayworth, known to fans as ‘The Love Goddess’, was one of the biggest stars of the 40s; this month a selection of her finest films will illustrate why she earned this moniker, with Only Angels Have Wings, Cover Girl and, of course, Gilda With Seasons in the Sun: The Heyday of Nikkatsu Studios, we screen some of the most popular Japanese films of the 50s and 60s to mark the centenary anniversary of the studios. Cult classics Branded to Kill and Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter have influenced John Woo and Quentin Tarantino, and play alongside lesser known gems This month our Tony Garnett season Seeing Red concludes with a rare on-stage interview – with Mark Lawson, on Tuesday 4 June – alongside defining examples of his work as a producer, writer and director, such as Law and Order (a pre-cursor to The Wire), the first episode of This Life and the rarely screened films Prostitute and Handgun This year’s Meltdown festival is curated by Yoko Ono and she has curated a selection of films to
