Macquarie University Alex Munt New Directions in Music Video: Vincent Moon and the 'Ascetic Aesthetic'
Munt New directions in music video Macquarie University Alex Munt New Directions in Music Video: Vincent Moon and the ‘ascetic aesthetic’ Abstract: This article takes the form of a case study on the work of French filmmaker and music video director Vincent Moon, and his ‘Takeaway Shows’ at the video podcast site La Blogothèque. This discussion examines the state, and status, of music video as a dynamic mode of convergent screen media today. It is argued that the recent shift of music video online represents a revival of music video—its form and aesthetics— together with a rejuvenation of music video scholarship. The emergence of the ‘ascetic aesthetic’ is offered as a new paradigm for music video far removed from that of the postmodern MTV model. In this context, new music video production intersects with notions of immediacy, authenticity and globalised film practice. Here, convergent music video is enabled by the network of Web 2.0 and facilitated by the trend towards amateur content, participatory media and Creative Commons licensing. The pedagogical implications of teaching new music video within screen media arts curricula is highlighted as a trajectory of this research. Biographical note: Alex Munt is a filmmaker and screen theorist. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Media, Music, Communication and Cultural Studies at Macquarie University. He recently completed a PhD on ‘Microbudget Digital Cinema’ and has published on topics that include digital filmmaking, screenwriting, music video, fashion and design media in Australian and UK media, journals and magazines. Keywords: Aesthetics – Music – Video – Vincent Moon 1 Broderick & Leahy (eds) TEXT Special Issue, ASPERA: New Screens, New Producers, New Learning, April 2011 Munt New directions in music video The focus of this article is the work of French filmmaker and music video director Mathieu Saura, more commonly known by his alias ‘Vincent Moon’. -

Stan Hawkins, Settling the Pop Score: Pop Texts and Identity Politics
Reviews 81 interaction of drama in literary and musical terms. Lewsey’s aim here (as in his Who’s Who and What’s What in Wagner), is to assist the uninitiated, the regular audiences, directors and singers. This he does successfully. Stan Hawkins, Settling the Pop Score: Pop Texts and Identity Politics Aldershot, Hants.: Ashgate, 2002 ISBN 0 7546 0352 0; pb, 234pp, ill, music exx, bibl., discog., index Reviewed by Gavin Carfoot The scholarly study of popular music has its origins in sociology and cultural studies, disciplinary areas in which musical meaning is often attributed to aspects of economical and sociological function. Against this tradition, recent writers have offered what is now referred to as ‘popular musicology’: a method or approach that tends towards a specific engagement with ‘pop texts’ on aesthetic, and perhaps even ‘musical’ terms. Stan Hawkins uses the term popular musicology ‘at his own peril,’ clearly recognising the implicit scholarly danger in his approach, whereby ‘formalist questions of musical analysis’ are dealt with ‘alongside the more intertextual discursive theorisations of musical expression’ (p. xii). In other words, popular musicologists dare to tread that fine line between text and context. As editor of the journal Popular Musicology Online, Hawkins is a leading advocate of this practice, specifically in the application of music-analytical techniques to popular music. His methodology attests to the influence of other leading figures in the area, notably Richard Middleton, Allan F. Moore and Derek Scott (general editor of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series in which this book is published). Settling the Pop Score is predominantly a collection of articles drawn from Hawkins’s previously published research, looking at popular figures that typify the 1980s MTV generation: Madonna, Morrissey, Annie Lennox, the Pet Shop Boys and Prince. -

Surrealist Sources of Eastern European Animation Film
BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2013 / VOLUME 1 / ARTICLE Article Surrealist Sources of Eastern European Animation Film ÜLO PIKKOV, Estonian Academy of Arts; email: [email protected] 28 DOI: 10.1515/bsmr-2015-0003 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2013 / VOLUME 1 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT This article investigates the relationship between surreal- ism and animation fi lm, attempting to establish the char- acteristic features of surrealist animation fi lm and to deter- mine an approach for identifying them. Drawing on the interviews conducted during the research, I will also strive to chart the terrain of contemporary surrealist animation fi lm and its authors, most of who work in Eastern Europe. My principal aim is to establish why surrealism enjoyed such relevance and vitality in post-World War II Eastern Europe. I will conclude that the popularity of surrealist animation fi lm in Eastern Europe can be seen as a continu- ation of a tradition (Prague was an important centre of surrealism during the interwar period), as well as an act of protest against the socialist realist paradigm of the Soviet period. INTRODUCTION ing also in sight the spatiotemporal context Surrealism in animation fi lm has been of production. an under-researched fi eld.

A Film by the Quay Brothers
A FILM BY THE QUAY BROTHERS A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE A FILM BY THE QUAY BROTHERS THE PIANO TUNER OF EARTHQUAKES is the breathtakingly beautiful and long-awaited second feature from the Quay Brothers. On the eve of her wedding, the beautiful opera singer Malvina is mysteriously killed and abducted by a malevolent Dr. Droz. Felisberto, an innocent piano tuner, is summoned to Droz’s secluded villa to service his strange musical automatons. Little by little Felisberto learns of the doctor’s plans to stage a “diabolical opera” and of Malvina’s fate. He secretly conspires to rescue her, only to become trapped himself in the web of Droz’s perverse universe... Starring Amira Casar (Catherine Breillat’s ANATOMY OF HELL), Assumpta Serna (Pedro Almodovar’s MATADOR), Cesar Sarachu (the Quays’ INSTITUTE BENJAMENTA) and Gottfried John (Fassbinder’s MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN). THE QUAY BROTHERS The extraordinary Quay Brothers are two of the world’s most original filmmakers. Identical twins who were born in Pennsylvania in 1947, Stephen and Timothy Quay studied illustration in Philadelphia before going on to the Royal College of Art in London, where they started to make animated shorts in the 1970s. They have lived in London ever since, making their unique and innovative films under the aegis of Koninck Studios. Influenced by a tradition of Eastern European animation, the Quays display a passion for detail, a breathtaking command of color and texture, and an uncanny use of focus and camera movement that make their films unique and instantly recognizable. Best known for their classic 1986 film STREET OF CROCODILES, which filmmaker Terry Gilliam recently selected as one of the ten best animated films of all time, they are masters of miniaturization and on their tiny sets have created an unforgettable world, suggestive of a landscape of long-repressed childhood dreams. -

Media Culture: Cultural Studies, Identity and Politics Between The
Media Culture Media Culture develops methods and analyses of contemporary film, television, music, and other artifacts to discern their nature and effects. The book argues that media culture is now the dominant form of culture which socializes us and provides materials for identity in terms of both social reproduction and change. Through studies of Reagan and Rambo, horror films and youth films, rap music and African- American culture, Madonna, fashion, television news and entertainment, MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head, the Gulf War as cultural text, cyberpunk fiction and postmodern theory, Kellner provides a series of lively studies that both illuminate contemporary culture and provide methods of analysis and critique. Many people today talk about cultural studies, but Kellner actually does it, carrying through a unique mixture of theoretical analysis and concrete discussions of some of the most popular and influential forms of contemporary media culture. Criticizing social context, political struggle, and the system of cultural production, Kellner develops a multidimensional approach to cultural studies that broadens the field and opens it to a variety of disciplines. He also provides new approaches to the vexed question of the effects of culture and offers new perspectives for cultural studies. Anyone interested in the nature and effects of contemporary society and culture should read this book. Kellner argues that we are in a state of transition between the modern era and a new postmodern era and that media culture offers a privileged field of study and one that is vital if we are to grasp the full import of the changes currently shaking us. -
5 Videodesign E a Linguagem Visual Pós-Moderna: As Vinhetas Da MTV
5 Videodesign e a linguagem visual pós-moderna: as vinhetas da MTV As vinhetas da MTV representam um dos principais elementos constitutivos da linguagem visual adotada pela emissora. Através destas peças gráficas audiovisuais, pode-se apreender grande parte da essência da MTV, que se remeteria diretamente a uma série de manifestações da cultura pós-moderna. Além disso, o videodesigner, principal responsável pela criação das vinhetas, dispõe de ferramentas de trabalho que o tornariam um profissional privilegiado em expressar parte dos elementos inerentes ao universo pós-moderno. Com o uso do sistema “copy-cut-mix-edit” dos softwares de edição e manipulação de imagens, o videodesigner produziria objetos gráficos repletos de influências da cultura pós-moderna, da qual a MTV participa. Como a atividade é relativamente nova, são usados ainda diferentes termos para se referir ao design voltado para o vídeo, como motion graphics ou videographics. Porém, nesta pesquisa o termo usado será videodesign, que representa um dos mais populares e utilizados, estando relacionado ao design direcionado ao vídeo para exibição na mídia eletrônica, e que não inclui o design produzido para cinema, que possui um termo específico denominado de moviedesign. Já o termo grafismo, que também é empregado durante a pesquisa, se refere aos elementos visuais que são criados para o conteúdo das vinhetas. Neste capítulo são abordadas as principais características referentes ao videodesign e discutido o ambiente de criação intrínseco a esta área de atuação, havendo uma rápida abordagem sobre as origens da vinheta televisiva no Brasil, quando ainda não passava de um cartão de papel estático filmado por uma câmera, e seu desenvolvimento ao longo da história até os dias atuais. -
Skate Life: Re-Imagining White Masculinity by Emily Chivers Yochim
/A7J;(?<; technologies of the imagination new media in everyday life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutions—both public and domestic—of everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that ren- ders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technol- ogy as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focusing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media. Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publi- cations include The Internet Playground: Children’s Access, Entertainment, and Mis- Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.
