Like each November’s Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, which celebrates the creativity and vision of artists in the region’s community, the Portland International Film Festival seeks to explore the diversity of not only the art of film, but of the world around us. On a larger level the Festival also connects community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private arts funders, corporate sponsors, global film industry members, hundreds of individual volunteers, and thousands of audience members. This fabulous ecology not only brings the Festival to life, but also plays a sustaining role in the year-round exhibition, education, and artist service programs that manifest the Film Center’s mission. All of us at the Film Center wish that the recognitions in the program and onscreen could better convey our deep appreciation for the generous investment. On that note also go my thanks for the incredible work and creativity of the Film Center’s staff. This year, we welcome a host of new partners including Mercedes-Benz of Beaverton, Red Giant, King Estate Winery, Stella Artois, and Chipotle, who join dozens of sponsors that have been with the Festival for many years, if not for decades.

  • Michel Franco: Auteur of Violence
    Michel Franco: Auteur of Violence Elizabeth Dorton Submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts In Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Vinodh Venkatesh, Committee Chair María del Carmen Caña Jiménez Sarah Sierra April 27th, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Michel Franco, Mexico, Mexico City, film, auteur theory, trauma, violence Michel Franco: Auteur of Violence Elizabeth Dorton ABSTRACT Michel Franco’s works provide his audience with a conceptualization of modern (mostly Mexican) society through an exploration of violence and trauma as they affect the individual on both personal and public levels. Using the filmic auteur theory as my basis for an exploration of his body of work, I examine his use of spatial theory, trauma, spectatorial complicity, and neoliberalism as contributors to violence in the present day, both within a Mexican and universal context. Within his films, violence is demonstrated as resultant of his characters’ environments and larger systems at work, reflected in both the spaces they inhabit and their individual self- presentations after surviving traumatic events. Ultimately, these works lead his audiences to moments of self-reflection regarding their own involvement with mediatic violence and how they assist in its perpetuation. I have taken this thesis project as an opportunity to explore each of his films as unique parts of a collective whole, in the hopes of providing a cohesive analysis of each while also demonstrating their impact as they are connected to one another thematically. Franco’s ability to explore contemporary, similar themes in a multitude of forms places him in the position of a filmic auteur, one arguably enjoyed by his contemporaries but not indicative of the generation of Mexican directors who preceded him.
