  • Finn Ballard: No Trespassing: the Post-Millennial
    Page 15 No Trespassing: The post­millennial road­horror movie Finn Ballard Since the turn of the century, there has been released throughout America and Europe a spate of films unified by the same basic plotline: a group of teenagers go road­tripping into the wilderness, and are summarily slaughtered by locals. These films may collectively be termed ‘road­horror’, due to their blurring of the aesthetic of the road movie with the tension and gore of horror cinema. The thematic of this subgenre has long been established in fiction; from the earliest oral lore, there has been evident a preoccupation with the potential terror of inadvertently trespassing into a hostile environment. This was a particular concern of the folkloric Warnmärchen or ‘warning tale’ of medieval Europe, which educated both children and adults of the dangers of straying into the wilderness. Pioneers carried such tales to the fledging United States, but in a nation conceptualised by progress, by the shining of light upon darkness and the pushing back of frontiers, the fear of the wilderness was diminished in impact. In more recent history, the development of the automobile consolidated the joint American traditions of mobility and discovery, as the leisure activity of the road trip became popular. The wilderness therefore became a source of fascination rather than fear, and the road trip became a transcendental voyage of discovery and of escape from the urban, made fashionable by writers such as Jack Kerouac and by those filmmakers such as Dennis Hopper ( Easy Rider, 1969) who influenced the evolution of the American road movie.

  • Beat Circus Dreamland
    What the press has said about: BEAT CIRCUS DREAMLAND (CUNEIFORM, 2008) Lineup: Brian Carpenter (vocals, pump organ, harmonica, trumpet, slide trumpet, toy piano, composition), Ron Caswell (tuba), Käthe Hostetter (violin, viola), Julia Kent (cello), Alec K. Redfearn (accordion, jawharp), Curtis Hasselbring (trombone), Brandon Seabrook (tenor banjo, mandolin, slide guitar), Briggan Krauss (alto, baritone saxophones), Matt McLaren (drums, percussion, washboard) “…the music and the wonderfully well-realized arrangements are, if anything, even better than on the band's debut. This time, Carpenter is working with an expanded version of the band from the first album, including accordionist Alec K. Redfearn and drummer Matt McLaren …and New York alt-folk mainstay Brian Dewan, who provides his trademark electric zither as well as the album's lovely/creepy cover art, and the stylistically varied results make for a wonderfully imaginative record. Instrumental tracks like the opener "Gyp the Blood," and the mad Balkan dance tune "Slavochka" work the same stylistic street as folks like Beirut and A Hawk and a Hacksaw, while the more experimental pop-oriented songs recall the warped imagination of Elephant 6 associated eccentrics the Music Tapes. Fans of any of those acts will find much to love here.” - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide, www.allmusic.com “Dreamland…is proof positive that the concept album did not die with vinyl records and is still very much alive. In fact it is one of the most ambitious and peculiar musical endeavors I’ve ever experienced. … … Dreamland is a swirling maelstrom of theatrical post-cabaret and vaudevillian post-rock jazz. The...collective…create eccentric soundtracks for the equally eccentric stories and bizarre characters that inhabit Dreamland with an exotic array of instruments… …the music…is always a suitable score for Carpenter’s tale of an impoverished, alcoholic gold miner who makes a pact with the devil before fleeing eastward to work in Dreamland’s sideshows.

But it’s not that easy to forget the war and leave violence behind. DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM since 2008, every French soldier returning from a tour of duty goes through a “decompression period” (canadians do the same thing – us soldiers too). They are taken to a five-star hotel for three days where they are supposed to forget about the war and relax among tourists enjoying their vacation. The program, devised by army psychologists, includes aqua- gym and relaxation classes, boat excursions and group mee- tings where everyone must tell the story of their individual experience during the six months spent in a war zone. This military therapy is more or less successful. TWO POWERFUL WOMEN Aurore and Marine are two young women with strong per- sonalities. They’ve known each other since childhood, come from modest backgrounds and grew up in lorient, an ave- rage town, where there aren’t a lot of alternatives for young people to build a future.

  • Newsletter-Archiv: September 2016
    Newsletter-Archiv: September 2016 Filmnewsletter September Liebe Filmliebhaber, In der September-Edition geht es diesmal ein bisschen tiefer in die Materie – weniger Nachrichten, mehr Blick hinter die Kulissen. Zum einen ist da die Reihe des China Film Insider-Guides, die uns ab sofort durch das Labyrinth des chinesischen Filmemachens führt. Zum anderen geht es heute um Wang Xiaoshuai, da einer seiner letzten Filme in verschiedenen deutschen Städten im September gezeigt wird! Und die Blockbuster im spätsommerlichen Fernsehen? Siehe unten. Enjoy! Der neue China Film Insider-Guide Die amerikanische Webseite China Film Insider, ein lesenswertes Bindeglied zwischen Hollywood und der chinesischen Filmindustrie, hat Ende August eine 10-teilige Serie zu den wichtigsten Faktoren des Filmemachens in China gestartet. Schon die ersten beiden Beiträge, die nun jeden Freitag um eine neue Film-Kuriosität aus China erweitert werden, sind vielversprechend und überaus informativ, denn die Autoren arbeiten mit neuesten Fallbeispielen und aktuellen Zahlen. Obwohl es hier in erster Linie darum geht, die Eigenheiten, die der chinesische Markt für neue Regisseure, Produzenten, oder Drehbuchautoren birgt, herauszustellen, sind die Artikel auch für Laien hochspannend! Die ersten Artikel behandeln die Prozedur einer ausländischen Produktion in China: Wie man bereits ahnt, darf nichts sowohl im Fernsehen als auch auf der großen Leinwand ohne chinesische Strippenzieher produziert werden (Das beste Beispiel: die im letzten Newsletter erwähnte Ko-Produktion The Great Wall). Wie eine Art Checkliste geht es in der Serie weiter: Die „Dos & Don’ts“ bei der Zensur. Mit einschlägigen Beispielen wie Lust, Caution (⾊，戒) (2007) von Star-Regisseur Ang Lee oder Marvels Deadpool von letztem Jahr machen die Autoren deutlich, wie schnell Schlüsselszenen der Handlung oder einem ganzen Film (bekannterweise) der Garaus gemacht werden kann.
