Resavoring Cannibal Holocaust As a Mockumentary
hobbs Back to Issue 7 "Eat it alive and swallow it whole!": Resavoring Cannibal Holocaust as a Mockumentary by Carolina Gabriela Jauregui ©2004 "The worst returns to laughter" Shakespeare, King Lear We all have an appetite for seeing, an appétit de l'oeuil as Lacan explains it: it is through our eyes that we ingest the Other, the world.1 And in this sense, what better way to introduce a film on anthropophagy, Ruggero Deodato's 1979 film, Cannibal Holocaust, than through the different ways it has been seen.2 It seems mankind has forever been obsessed with the need to understand the world through the eyes, with the need for visual evidence. From Thomas the Apostle, to Othello's "ocular proof," to our television "reality shows," as the saying goes: "Seeing is believing." We have redefined ourselves as Homo Videns: breathers, consumers, dependants, and creators of images. Truth, in our society, now hinges on the visual; it is mediated by images. Thus it is from the necessity for ocular proof that Cinéma Vérité, Direct Cinema, documentary filmmaking and the mockumentary or mock-documentary genre stem. It is within this tradition that the Italian production Cannibal Holocaust inserts itself, as a hybrid trans-genre film. To better understand this film, I will not only look at it as a traditional horror film, but also as a contemporary mockumentary satire that presents itself as "reality" and highlights the spectator’s eye/I’s primal appetite. In the manner of Peter Watkins' film Culloden, Deodato's film is intended to confuse the audience's -

MARIE-AUDE FOUÉRÉ Film as archive: Africa Addio and the ambiguities of remembrance in contemporary Zanzibar The Italian shock documentary Africa Addio contains a sequence about massacres that occurred during the Zanzibar revolution of 1964. Perceived by some of its Zanzibari viewers as a container of factual evidence of the brutality of this epochal event, this sequence is contested by others who assert that it was staged or re-enacted. One critical aspect of these oppositional views concerns the very status of this documentary and the trust that can be placed in it as an archival record. Whether Africa Addio is seen as authentic or fabricated, it provides Zanzibaris with a medium through which to revisit the past and rethink Zanzibari society in the present. -
Percorsi Etruschi "In Verità È Impressionante Constatare Che Per Due Volte, Nel VII Secolo A
2 Prefazione "L’uomo che non è mai stato in Italia, è sempre cosciente di un’inferiorità." Samuel Johnson Perché possiamo parlare dell’Italia come Opera Unica? Certo è che in essa sono concentrati la maggior parte dei beni artistici esistenti sul pianeta Terra, questo senza tener conto delle enormi ricchezze che ci rappresentano in alcuni tra i musei più importanti del mondo come il Louvre a Parigi, l’Heritage a San Pietroburgo o la National Gallery a Londra, visto e considerato che, insieme all’Egitto e alla Grecia, siamo tra i paesi più depauperati da un punto di vista patrimoniale, oltre che, da sempre, l’Arte Italiana fa scuola a studenti e artisti provenienti da ogni dove, talvolta diventati celeberrimi come Balthus, Picas- so e Turner, e che hanno affrontato i viaggi più avventurosi per studiare i no- stri capolavori i quali hanno influenzato visibilmente le loro opere. La famosa "Sindrome di Stendhal" prende nome proprio dalla reazione emo- tiva ansiogena che colse il famoso scrittore Francese e che egli racconta nel suo libro "Roma, Napoli e Firenze" descrivendola come una sintomatologia paralizzante dovuta all’improvvisa bellezza di un monumento e che lo colse uscendo dalla chiesa di Santa Croce, nel capoluogo toscano. Nel solo territorio Italiano contiamo cinquantacinque siti UNESCO a cui va aggiunto il Vaticano e senza tener conto che luoghi come Ercolano e Pompei sono considerati un unico sito. Trattasi di un numero pari a quello che può vantare la Cina, ma l’estensione dell’Italia, come si sa, è ben più ridotta. In sostanza, ovunque ci si trovi, nel nostro bel paese, si rischia di essere colpiti dalla stessa Sindrome che colse Stendhal. -

'Emanuelle' Films
Issue 9 May 2017 www.intensitiescultmedia.com Mondo Realism, the Sensual Body, and Genre Hybridity in Joe D’Amato’s ‘Emanuelle’ Films Mario DeGiglio-Bellemare John Abbott College Abstract This paper examines the place of Joe D’Amato’s series of Emanuelle films within the context of Italian cine- ma, exploitation cinema, and genre studies—especially the pornography and horror genres. I will focus on what I have labelled D’Amato’s Mondo Realist films that were made in a very short period between 1975-1978. I argue that D’Amato’s films offer an expansive sense of genre hybridity, especially as his films from this brief period are rooted in the Sadean tradition, the cinema of attractions, the Mondo film, neorealism, and the horror genre. I also examine D’Amato’s films in the terms set out by Linda Williams (2004a); namely, as an auteur of ‘body genres’ whose films must be considered in terms that move us beyond dominant scopocentric tendencies in film theory. D’Amato’s films offer a way to open up these categories through the sensual and corporeal experience of his hybrid films.

Perhaps no film genre is more maligned by critics and scholars than the Mondo film or the Shockumentary. The Mondo film phenomenon began in 1962 with Mondo Cane which was directed by Italian film- makers Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi. Today, forty-five years later, through reality shows, contests, and films, the basic premise of the Mondo film permeates every part of our popular culture. Blue Underground Films’ recent DVD release of the Mondo Cane Collection, dubbed the ‘‘most controversial box set of all time,’’ sold out and now goes for collector’s prices. -

MAY 23 196» WASHINGTON. 0. C 3 IS? PREFACE * This paper will attempt to describe the genesis of Pan-African labor movements in their relationship to the wider, international, Pan- African political movements. The general format will be to first describe the development of the political institutions of Pan-Africanism in a chron ological survey and follow this with the chronology of Pan-African labor developments during the same period. There will be references to the early developments of labor movements in Africa, but the major emphasis of th*is study will be on the period following 1960. There will be little discussion of the development of the labor movements within African countries. Examples illustrative of general trends in the development of African trade unionism will be drawn from specific national movements when applicable. However, the scope of the paper is limited to the inter-African relations of political and labor groups. -
