Prison Movies Du 1 Mai > 29 Juin Communiqué de presse Merci de bien vouloir diffuser cette info Emmanuelle De Schrevel 02 551.19.40 [email protected] Cycle Prison movies du 1 mai > 29 juin CINEMATEK, Rue Baron Horta 9, 1000 Bruxelles www.cinematek.be ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Le « film de prison » possède toutes les caractéristiques qui permettraient de le créditer de genre cinématographique à part entière : unité de lieu ; personnages bien campés aux relations tout aussi bien définies ; dimension dramatique exacerbée par un décor inflexible, etc. Toutes caractéristiques, de prime abord immuables, mais qui sont en fait, le terreau fertile à une multitude d’interprétations derrière laquelle pointe la question sociétale de la prison. Petit aperçu. Remarque liminaire : les films d’évasion, les films sur la peine de mort, voire les films de procès n’entrent pas dans cette programmation - même si l’évasion, la peine de mort et le procès demeurent à la marge de certains d’entre eux. La prison doit être vue ici comme une entité, quasi organique, qui transforme la condition de ses « habitants », gardiens et prisonniers confondus. Lieu fermé, objet de fantasme du grand public qui ne peut jamais qu’imaginer ce qui se passe derrière les murs, le film de prison est le creuset d’une infinité de représentations du monde. La geôle comme microcosme de la diversité sociale, avec en son centre, la question de l’identité de l’individu dans l’univers carcéral. Ainsi, en 1928 déjà, Geschlecth in fesseln aborde la question de l’identité sexuelle : un détenu hétérosexuel noue une relation intime avec son compagnon de cellule. Comment se définir sexuellement dans un univers clos, c’est aussi la question du Baiser de la femme araignée . Approche plus féminine pour Leonera qui prolonge, 75 ans plus tard, la question de l’emprisonnement des femmes abordée en 1933 dans Ann Vickers , et en la poussant jusqu’à la question de la maternité : qu’est-ce qu’être - voire devenir - mère en prison ? Plus largement, ces films interrogent l’humanité en reste, ou en absence, dans chaque détenu, et déclinent son aspiration de liberté sous des formes parfois inattendues : le sport dans The Jericho mile, l’ornithologie pour Le prisonnier d’Alcatraz , l’amitié dans The Shawshank redemption ou Luke la main froide , la violence (pas seulement physique) dans Les démons de la liberté , San Quentin ou Un prophète . Le film de prison s’appuie ou adapte parfois des faits historiques : Midnight express , Candidiru , Je n’ai pas tué Lincoln , Hunger - ce dernier film, Caméra d’or à Cannes en 2008. se démarquant aussi par une recherche formelle plus audacieuse, à l’instar de Punishment Park . Mais finalement, au-delà de l’univers carcéral reconstitué, au-delà de l’étude des rapports sociaux, au-delà de l’affrontement entre individus, tous ces films incitent à repenser le rôle de la prison à leur époque. De Hell’s highway qui accuse les conditions des prisonniers enchaînés, à Scum , en passant par Each dawn I die ou Brubaker , où un nouveau directeur prend place à côté de « ses » prisonniers, la portée politique de ces films donne à réfléchir sur la manière dont la société gère sa population carcérale.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

All rights reserved. Author permissions are required to reprint all or part of this work. www.twilightzonemuseum.com * www.facebook.com/twilightzonemuseum Preface At this late date, little has not been said about The Twilight Zone. It’s often imitated, appropriated, used – but never remotely matched. From its quiet and decisively non-ostentatious beginnings, it steadily grew into its status as an icon and televisional gemstone…and not only changed the way we looked at the world but became an integral part of it. But this isn’t to say that the talk of it has been evenly distributed. Certain elements, and full episodes, of the Rod Serling TV show get much more attention than others. Various characters, plot elements, even plot devices are well-known to many. But I dare say that there’s a good amount of the series that remains unknown to the masses. In particular, there has been very much less talk, and even lesser scholarly treatment, of the second half of the series. This “study” is two decades in the making. It started from a simple episode guide, which still exists. Out of it came this work. The timing is right. In 2019, the series turns sixty years old.

  • The Literature of Film Instructor
    English 2341 – Forms of Literature: The Literature of Film Instructor: Lance Hawvermale, Associate Professor of English Jameson Hall #2; (254) 647-3234, Ext 7025 Office Hours: Monday/Wednesday – 3:00 to 4:00 Tuesday/Thursday – 10:00 to 11:00 and 3:00 to 4:00 This course explores the American Myth as told through the medium of film. During the course of the semester, we answer the following questions: 1. What is the “American Myth”? 2. How is storytelling a unique tool for fostering the American Myth? 3. What are some distinctly American literary archetypes? 4. What is the evolutionary path of the classic American protagonist? 5. What literary genres are American specialties? In answering these questions, we examine (1) the storytelling methods of screenwriters, (2) the themes explored by directors, and (3) the social significance of each film and how it reflects the world around it at the time of its creation. By studying these works, students gain an appreciation for film as literature and a better understanding of the world around them. We look closely for relationships between history, social movements, cultural bias, and storytelling. STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completing the course, students will be able to . 1. Analyze and interpret film as literature. 2. Understand film genres as a reflection of American culture. 3. Articulate an informed, personal reaction to film. 4. Demonstrate a wide-ranging knowledge of film history and aesthetics. 5. Produce critical responses to all elements of film through written essays.
